21 for 21: #13—Third Eye Blind, "Third Eye Blind"

How's it going to be?

My 13th favorite CD from my collection is the self-titled debut album from the band Third Eye Blind. Released in 1997, it reached #25 on the Billboard Hot 200 and spawned three hit singles, all of which form the basis for my affinity for the band and this album. I absolutely love these three songs; the rest of the album is certainly worth listening to, but these three songs are inspired alternative pop-rock, especially indicative of music in the nineties and the pinnacle of the band's career. I'll let the songs justify themselves.

Semi-Charmed Life

A happy little ditty about meth addiction.

Jumper

Please don't commit suicide.

How's It Going To Be

An emotionally devastating break-up song.

So, so, so good.
