JRAug 31, 2009I cant figure out why so many people are slobbering all over this album. Its not very good. A lot of parts are out of place and the album, as a whole, lacks consistency. Its not an awful release, but it is not good either. For taking so much time off, it should have been better... IMO.

Third Eye Blind's fourth album and first since 2003--shows that frontman Stephan Jenkins' way with a hook has dimmed little since the band's mid-'90s heyday. The clunky lyrics are another thing.
-
Jenkins instead comes on like he never left the scene. In fact, with its pulsating rhythms and crisp guitar fuzz, the new record actually does a better job of extending the band's early work than did its lukewarm previous effort, "Out of the Vein."
-
The formula is dependable and timeworn but ultimately successful, as Third Eye Blind follows the paint-by-numbers blueprint with stunning efficiency.
