Notes & Personnel Info |  | Third Eye Blind: Brad Hargreaves, Arion Salazar, Stephan Jenkins, Tony Fredianelli. | | Recording information: 1997 - 2003. | | Certainly one of the most chart-savvy of all the bands to emerge from the mid-1990s alt-rock feeding frenzy, Third Eye Blind distinguished itself with the inescapably catchy single "Semi-Charmed Life" from its '97 self-titled album. Led by singer-songwriter Stephen Jenkins, the San Francisco-based group also had minor hits with the angst-ridden "Jumper" and the rowdy "Graduate." All of these tracks appear on this well-selected best-of compilation, which also includes material from the band's underrated later outings, BLUE and OUT OF THE VEIN (see the wistful "Deep Inside of You" and the upbeat "Blinded," respectively). Although Third Eye Blind's straightforward, guitar-pop approach was derided by some modern-rock fans, this set makes a solid case for the group's post-grunge relevance. |
