A perfect rock album, from start to finish. I wish every rock album released could be half as good as Third Eye Blind's self-titled first release.

We've all heard the radio hits played over and over, such as "Semi-Charmed Life," "Graduate," "How's It Going To Be," "Losing A Whole Year," and "Jumper;" you know how good those songs are, the others on this album that weren't played over the airwaves are just as good, if not better. That's what makes this album one of my all-time favorites.

Better, deeper cuts from this album, such as "Thanks A Lot," "Good For You," "The Background," and "Motorcycle Drive By" may never get radio play, but are excellent songs. Songs such as "I Want You" and "God of Wine" are as close to perfection as music gets.

For a long time this album has been one of my favorites; I thought it was about time I let more people know. This is one of those albums you're glad you have on CD, otherwise you'd have burned out the tape or vinyl. You'll end up learning all of the lyrics and become addicted.

This CD is worth every penny you spend on it.

Ya know ...

I know how strange this is going to sound, but from a standpoint of creativity this cd dosen't really have anything new to offer that a dozen other bands out now couldn't fill. I do realize that this is really only fluff, but man is it catchy.

I'm reminded of a scene from the Matrix where Cypher is selling out Morpheus to Agents Smith staring at the steak that was given to him and saying

"I know that this steak isn't really here, I know it's just the matrix telling my brain that this meat is juicy and tender. But you know what? Sometimes ignorance is bliss."

So in this case, just shut your brain off and enjoy it ...
