Third Eye Blind - Our Bande Apart (September 24th, 2021) Album • Page 3

ok how about it's third eye blind's american music club album

i think this might be better than screamer but idk too early and who cares

 

I don't think I know the american music club reference haha. but it's definitely their chill laid-back quarantine album. no way this is better than screamer, there's at least 5 songs on that album better than anything on this album

 

"box of bones," "dust storm," "funeral singers," and "time in berlin" can all hang with the best stuff on screamer, come on

this album also has a way better ending

 

.... the DYING BLOOD

 

(is the song that surprises me every time i put this on)

 

"funeral singers" reminds me of out of the vein a lot

ok i'll stop

 

That was my initial thought too, but boy has it grown on me these last few weeks. Still not sure where it ranks, but it's climbing.

 

and you learn
tenderness is essential

 

Highlight of the album. Pure post-punk worship.

 

has me intrigued

 

Does this thing have more guitars than Screamer did? Or same vein

 

Less. Like, a lot less. "Again" is the heaviest song on the album.

 

completely different album from Screamer

 

Kinda nervous going into this. Only 9 songs and I’m not really into the 3 pre-released songs.

Freakin love Screamer though. Lotta good memories with that album.

 

Dust Storm is great, packed with great moments and the first guitar solo in ages

I liked Silverlake Neophyte also

Funeral Singers is a Sylvan Esso song, I wasn’t really expecting a cover out of 9 tracks but ok

All in all this thing feels half finished

When they used to take 6 years to release an album it felt like a finished idea, lately the music is coming fast and furious and it does feel a little cobbled together

 

oh lol i had no idea "funeral singers" was a cover, or i had forgotten

great cover

 

Wow I totally didn't even notice it was a cover and I've heard the original a ton, damn

 

Dust Storm rules

Really digging most of this

 

I feel like I just listened to a bunch of demos.

Their worst album. If you want to even call it that.

Dust Storm has some potential though. It has hardcore Nada Surf vibes.

 

This is the most subtle, least embarrassing album they’ve ever released.

I’m still trying to figure out whether it’s thoughtfully deliberate or simply boring but I dig the restraint and I’ll give them extra time to soak this in. If the songs start getting stuck in my head, even without the ridiculousness or rock-out moments, I might rank this near the top of their post-Out of the Vein output.

 

"least embarrassing" is a weird choice of words

 

I quite dig this

 

Big 3EB fan, but this is easily the worst record they've ever put out.

 

Borrrrinnnngggg

 

It's a testament to their discography when this is considered their worst album.
