Third Eye Blind Band • Page 84

OOTV was the end of the original A tier trilogy. Ursa is an epilogue sent into the cosmos. Dopamine was the arrival of nu-Jenkins and the start of this 2nd era of 3EB as an ‘indie’ band no longer trying to replicate their first era.

 

I mean, there are like 6-8 songs off each of the first three albums that are better than anything off Ursa Major. I like that album, but come on. The level of songwriting just wasn’t as high anymore (and never was again).

 

No.

 

Cogently argued.

 

Can't beat the classics.

EDIT: Besides, what am I going to argue? You don't like the songs (as much), it's your opinion, you're entitled to it, and I'm not going to convince you otherwise. I just want to express the sentiment that I don't agree with what you've said. Why is irrelevant, honestly.

 

Blue
S/t
Ootv
Ursa
Screamer
Dopamine
Bande

 

My ranking is pretty much release order from best to least though I do regard Blue as my favorite but it’s close

 

I personally cannot fathom ranking S/T anything but first, like nothing even comes close to me. one of the most perfect albums I can think of.

 

Blue is my favourite too, insane album. like how do you make something like Camouflage

 

I think S/T is like my 2nd favorite album of all time haha

 

OOOOOOooh shit this is cool:

Only demos/rare stuff I'm interested in is anything from the Cadogen years.

 

OK

 

In contrast to the Weezer RSD release, I dig that they compiled a track list that doesn’t repeat the same 3-5 songs with subtly different takes and recordings. I’m bummed whenever RSD busts out a cool release like this because I hate fighting crowds for limited vinyl in person and paying $$$ for RSD releases online.

 

Would be so jazzed if it had the original Sherri Is A Stoner and Got So High versions on there. This band has so much of this similar content. Hopefully they'll do a part 2.

Really wish I wasn't out of town for RSD or I'd definitely pick this up. Hoping it ends up online in some capacity.

 

I would very much appreciate this kind of release for every album/era

 

listening to Dopamine again, Rites of Passage is such a ripper

 

Wish we could get a real rarities collection.

 

wish we could get a CDQ Invisible on streaming

 

Seconded

 

So that RSD Rarities album ended up being a mispress with Kiss Goodnight on both sides and no Semi Charmed or Burning Man. Was looking to pick this up but glad I held off.

Supposedly Rhino is working on a corrected copy to come out eventually.

 

They should release on digital in the meantime.......

 

Yeah if this was released digitally I probably wouldn't buy it on vinyl haha
