California Blinds

The super talented group Third Eye Blind have released their latest CD on the Elektra Entertainment recording, entitled Blue.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs, I could just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from beginning to end.

The good thing about a CD like this is at this level of talent even if Rock is not your favorite style you still can not help but measure the greatness of the musicians.

Listen and I think you will agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is remarkable and Third Eye Blind is clearly a group that is in great shape.

Although the album is really good melodies are really standout track 3 to 10 days late, track 5 - Deep Inside Of You, and track 13 - Darwin.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [... as in "Stuck On Repeat"] is track 1 - Anything. Outstanding!
