Free Music Notes for Blue
Free Music Review: 3EB's best album. Highly recommended.
Hit: 5 Stars
In my opinion, this album far exceeds 3EB's debut album in every way and is my favorite of all of their albums. It is every bit as catchy and memorable as the debut, but with darker, deeper, and more personal songs. The album is very melodic and flows together beautifully. I would say that it is an advantage that the album was not as big of a hit as the debut, as it can be listened to without sounding like a greatest hits album. This is the album I reach for most when I want to hear 3EB and still enjoy listening to it after having listened to it ever since it was released. I would highly recommend purchasing an import version of the album rather than the US release. Another reviewer mentioned there being an "indistinguishable edited version" of the album and a regular version of the album with two different track listings. This is incorrect. In the US, there is only one version of the album available, and it is an edited version. The song Slow Motion was made into an instrumental because the lyrics were deemed too violent and offensive in the wake of the Columbine High School massacre. There are two different versions with two different track listings, but this is because the first pressing contained a version of Slow Motion with only the chorus as track 11. The second pressing was released with all the lyrics removed and the song made into a completely instrumental piece that was moved to track 13. The latter is the only version currently available in the US. In other countries, however, the song was never censored and is available with all lyrics intact. Interestingly enough, the import version does incorrectly state "(instrumental)" next to Slow Motion in the liner notes(though not on the back cover). Anyway, Slow Motion is an amazing song and one of my all time favorites by 3EB. If you actually listen to the lyrics to the whole song and pay attention to the meaning, you will discover that it is actually an anti-violence/anti-drug song about how the media exploits both. If you can't find an import version, it is available uncensored on 3EB's greatest hits album here in the US. However, the album just doesn't sound as good or right with the censored version on it, so it is still recommended. Well, enough ranting. Buy the album. It's a great album regardless of which version you purchase.
Blue Poster
Third Eye Blind's second album will go a long way in helping the San Francisco-based band to shed their corporate-rock label. Less grandiose and obvious than their 1997 debut, the elegantly flawed Blue crackles with energy and dark humor, but doesn't wade in the same pools of gloom and despair as its self-titled predecessor. Frontman Stephan Jenkins has exchanged his intricate stream-of-consciousness musings for more streamlined soulful wordplay. The assertive, inventive guitars recall such big bruisers of yesteryear as Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, but without the heavy-handedness. "Never Let You Go," the album's standout, is as catchy as Rick Springfield's "Jesse's Girl," but with a raw edge and a snarling Jaggeresque rap by Jenkins. Smart, poppy, and ironic, Blue more than solidifies Third Eye Blind's standing as a band on the rise. --Jaan UhelszkiAlternative Rock Music CDs
