Third Eye Blind's eponymous debut is catchier than the average post-grunge album, and that fact alone reveals a lot about the band. Instead of relying on standard, plodding grunge influences, Third Eye Blind draw heavily from the simple hook-laden traditions of classic arena rock, which makes the album more immediate. Unfortunately, this also makes it a little simplistic -- the group can craft a naggingly memorable hook, as evidenced by the single "Semi-Charmed Life," but they aren't always able to fashion them into songs. Still, Third Eye Blind is easy on the ears, and its straight-ahead professionalism makes it a pleasurable listen for post-grungers. [A 20th anniversary edition was released on CD in 2017, featuring a bonus second disc of demo tracks, new recordings of "Alright Caroline" and "Scattered," and the Japanese track "Tattoo of the Sun."] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
