Third Eye Blind Band • Page 44

Hmm I might semi-judge you if you do that!

 

not to upsell! Just in case I know someone who doesn't get one. It's happened before, most recently last year with the band that shall not be named

 

Listened to OOTV today. I honestly wasn't really too impressed with the beginning of the album but I think it really hit its stride from My Hit and Run and on. Definitely gona need some more listens to develop an opinion on it.

 

This had to have been a pun

 

REPORTED

 

Respect!

 

I thought they made similar songs on their previous albums that were better. I think the second half expands their sound a bit more. Like i said I need more listens!

 

Wow, was just thinking about this not being on vinyl and that being dumb.

 

You know what never gets mentioned, Ursa Major

Bonfire, Dao of St Paul, Sharp Knife, Water Landing, Can You Take Me, all top tier 3EB, even Don’t Believe A Word is great

It’s a shame that One In Ten-About To Break-Summer Town is such a stretch of flaming turds

Whoever in the studio suggested trimming The Red Summer Sun by like a minute is absolutely mental, that last minute is one of the best minutes in 3EB’s catalogue

 

woah, there's an extended Red Summer Sun? I thought the last minute was just the coda of Darwin, is there a totally different version?

 

The coda of Darwin isn’t a coda, it’s the last minute of TRSS that inexplicably fades out in the album track

 

‘Flaming turds’ is a stronger stance than I’d take, but that string of songs is not the strongest. Though I love a lot of Ursa Major, I do think it’s the most inconsistent of their records, which I think is why the good on it gets generally buried. A shame, too - aside from the ones you mentioned, “Monotov’s” is one of the most heartbreakingly gorgeous songs in their catalogue.

Also, I’m gonna be That Guy: I don’t get the love for “Bonfire.” It’s fine, but not top tier 3EB.

 

Bonfire could use a stronger chorus but the main acoustic riff is an absolute gem and so is the laidback vibe

My problem with Monotov’s Private Opera is that it sounds so similar to Why Can’t You Be and About to Break, and by track 11 I don’t want another acoustic driven track with the exact same key and chords as the last 3

I do like the “everything changed in a day” vocal refrain

 

Disco Monotov >>>>>

 

ahemmmm

 

Fair enough lol

You know what never gets mentioned, New Girl

It’s catchy

 

Also can we post really good covers of 3eb songs in here? I heard a band on here cover Losing A Whole Year, it was faster paced and somewhat emoish and fantastically done and I’ve never been able to find it again

 

i need to listen to this band more

 

I hope we can convert the great Rob Hughes into a 3eb stan

 

i've listened to the s/t and it's easily a 9/10 for me

 

Water Landing is an incredible song

 

"water landing" is the best

 

The first time I saw 3eb was 2009. How tf was 2009 ten years ago???
