About

Third Eye Blind's debut album is a landmark of '90s alternative rock, embracing a potpourri of styles without ever losing its focused vision. Hip-hop and power pop collide on the delirious "Semi-Charmed Life," while elsewhere 3EB take detours through churning space rock ("Good for You"), distorted fuzz pop ("London"), and slinky psych funk ("I Want You"). <i>Third Eye Blind</i>'s lyrics perfectly capture the feeling of being at an emotional crossroads in life, and the anti-suicide message of "Jumper" still resonates deeply today.

This is the first U.S. release, sold between April 8, 1997 and August 11, 1997. This version features olive brown cover art, black spine art, and a rosy brown band photo on the back of the booklet featuring all four members backstage posing in a dressing room. (After the album sold 500,000 copies in the U.S. becoming RIAA Gold Certified, subsequent pressings in the U.S. and internationally would begin to replace the olive brown cover with the red cover.)
