Advantages: great pop songs

Disadvantages: occasional filer

This is the debut album by American serial hit makers Third Eye Blind and is a patchy affair containing momments of pure pop genius but frustratingly enough there are momments here of undeniable filler that taint what could be a near perfect debut album.

Tracks here such as the monster hit's 'Semi Charmed life', 'How's it gonna be' and 'Jumper' Cement the bands reputation as great pop song writers. This undeniable pop sensibility coupled with Stephen Jenkins ability to craft songs of pure beauty such as the lyricaly superb 'Motorcycle drive by' and the heartbreaking album closer 'God of Wine' go to show why Third Eye Blind are a band who have enjoyed emense commercial success in there native America and also a rabid cult following world wide.

The only problem with this album is Jenkins sometime habbit of drifting in to meandering mid tempo trakcs such as the meandering 'Thanks a lot' and the truley aweful 'I want you'.

But overall this is one of the better commercial rock albums to come out of the mid 90's and is well worth a listen for anyone who loves there songs to have a great tune and lyrics to sink your teeth in to

Summary: Key tracks - Motorcycle Drive by, God of wine, Graduate
