I gotta say, that extended version of Red Summer Sun that I think someone in here PMd me is great though
"10 Days Late" "Deep Inside Of You" and "Never Let You Go" are all fantastic songs, wtf is going on in here?!
I mean they're *fine* and if they were standalone singles I'd enjoy them a fair bit, but having them take up the space where finished versions of "Gorgeous" etc. could have been is ridiculous. one listen to that demo and I forget what those other songs sound like
ok sorry let's bring some positivity back! that funky bass bridge in An Ode to Maybe is the greatest 20 seconds in music
Remember like 6 years ago when Stephan was kind of hinting he and Arion patched things up and he might come back? *sigh*
This is all SUPER interesting, thanks for sharing. That being said, Alright Caroline is farrrrrrr from experimental. Gorgeous, kinda the same thing. Both are solid songs though. I don't know the other two, now I have to look them up! That being said, the songs you mention taking out in place of them makes no sense haha, but interesting thoughts nonetheless!
also known as Separation I think? It's this like ambient pop ballad that I love so so much just to clarify, I didn't mean any of those demos are like Red Summer Sun level of 'holy shit this is wild, just that they had the potential to be beautiful weird art pop songs more in like with the second half of the album than the ones that (imo) don't fit all that well. one man's opinion, Blue is phenomenal either way
Yeah, Out of the Vein was a clear step up from Blue for me. Easily my second favorite. The other three are more or less on even keel in my ranking.
OUT OF THE VEIN HAS BEEN RE-PRESSED ON VINYL, I REPEAT OUT OF THE VEIN HAS BEEN RE-PRESSED ON VINYL Third Eye Blind - Out of the Vein - Vinyl - Third Eye Blind p.s. so has Blue
