Nah, I wouldn't say so. It might be less known than Semi-Charmed Life or How's It Going To Be and Jumper but it still is one of their most famous songs.
@@jeremyjenners5150 Agree it's a banging record start to finish. But we can't really blame bands for not making albums like this any more. Streaming changed everything. Only singles matter now. I haven't bought an album for over a decade.
You're not wrong. There aren't many albums you can play all the way through without skipping a track. This one, though, I couldn't name a favorite. The whole album is a cohesive statement and a whole being.
Their first 3 albums and demos are truly timeless classics in my opinion. Not a single bad song. These days I have to listen to them in very specific scenarios/contexts because of how emotional the music makes me. Crazy. Time really flies.
One of the few perfect albums in Rock history - every track is a masterpiece. The music, the composition, the lyrics it was truly magical. Not sure if Stephen sold his soul to the devil or what but every damn song is super relatable, catchy, thoughtful and wrought with pure emotion. Bravo 3EB!
On the surface, this sounds like a throwaway punk-pop song. But, if you pay attention to the lyrics, it's extremely insightful. It's definitely my favorite Third Eye Blind song.
I remember being 18 and just sitting and listening to this whole album in my car. Man I miss those days. I took my girlfriend at the time to their concert and bought us both shirts and she still stole mine. 😂
Just picked this album up for the hell of it ----this album controlled my life for the next 2 years . I lived the reality of each one of their songs. Did not think I was going to make it to 2000 alive, I still carry memories and awful scars from that time. Met a person that turned my life upside down. Best sex I ever had ---best album of the 90s for me--ended up with a 2 year nervous breakdown. This album actually brought that person into me life---took it to a party they were there and approached me about the GREAT MUSIC---life was never the same. THIS DRAMA IS A BORE AND I DON'T WANNA PLAY NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!
This album also reminds me of my brothers lifestyle back then early 20s losing a whole year definitely described him, alcohol drugs women crime was what he did .
The whole first album is truly a work of art, me and mom used to ride around listening, she just passed and I'm dying inside but this album males me feel whole again. God bless you all
They're not really that poppy and not really happy semi charmed life is supposed to sound like how crystal meth makes u feel which according to Jenkins is "bright and shiny"
@@thischarminglovehound2376 I didn’t take it as a slam, I’m js they’re not a happy/poppy band at all. I explained why SCL is that way and NLYG is that way cuz Jenkins wanted to sell out and have a second SCL in the next album to hit the radio and spark more listeners. Those songs are outliers is my point and not an accurate reflection of their general sound or their music.
i personally find a place i can hide and listen to just this cd so i can savor the memories it brings back and the emotional rollercoaster is not something i feel that most people can understand. it makes me feel better in a strange way to feel the loss ive had over the years. it helps me to remember where ive been and the lives that i have lived but more important it assures me of my placement in the now as well.
My VERY first concert without parents/adult supervision. Flash back to February 11, 1998 at the UMR multipurpose building in Rolla, MO. I remember my dad made me dress well covered. I altered my outfit as soon as I was in the building and out of his sight. It was cold and wet winter weather and I wore a checkered black and white skirt and black cardigan and matching Maryjane shoes. I was 15 years old and in love with this band! I crowd surfed for the first time. Stephen on stage saw my joy and reached out and touched my hand briefly. Somehow while crowd surfing and enjoying my first mosh pit I lost one of my shoes. I went home with the biggest smile and only one shoe. Core memories formed that night! I felt invincible and alive! Fast forward to age 41 and I just purchased tickets to see TEB in concert in 2024 here in Tampa FL and I’m bringing my son along this time. Nostalgic! This experience needs shared ❤
when this came out I was hooked on the entire album. this got more airtime at my house than everything I owned put together for years. and as you see I'm still here
They're all top shelf musicians. I got turned on to Salizar's (apologize if misspelled..) genius after hearing a 70's retro style instrumental album (Soundtrack) he produced for a videogame in '95 (Interstate '76).. It was so tight, only to find out Salazar was behind it, makes sense.
what a evolution from 1997 to right now from 3EB. i still remember a concert they did in Cleveland 2016 ;^) www.newsweek.com/third-eye-blind-rnc-troll-concert-482406
back in 1997 when I bought this album I though... wow these guys gave a wonderful gift to the world by composing these songs..... And I still believe they did
I remember when this video was brand new. I think they played it on MuchMusic a lot, as MTV didn't show too many music videos even at the tail end of the 90s. It seemed so sleek and ultra-modern. I remember thinking I couldn't imagine anything looking or sounding any more futuristic.
I'm a child of the 90s... last great decade... I remember listening to 3yb in my car... a fn classic.. kids today are robbed of great music.. share our music with our kids.
I will be going to San Diego, California soon from Austin, Texas and I will buy this whole album and enjoy the ride back to San Diego, California to bring back the memories and the good times!🤓 April 2024 A.D. Road Trip
I remember the first time I heard this song in the summer of 1997 at 16 years old. Great times. I have long said 3EB is underrated for their creativity, musicality, lyrics that are both poetically beautiful and culturally relevant, not to mention their longevity. They've been one of my favorite bands for nearly 30 years.

Best opening track to an album ever.
It's certainly up there. Its funny how jumper and semi charmed kinda life get so much attention and this is SUCH a great song.
DruMeister
Always partial to
Hit&Run
Motorcycle drive by is one of my favs on this album. This is numero uno though
Yes. I love the consonance "the whole GoD-Damn Day in beD." That's poetry--language craft drawing pleasant attention to itself.
so true... always gives me goosebumps
This entire album is nothing but bangers. This one still flies under the radar.
one of the best albums out of the 90's.. amazing songs and the production is pristine
Nah, I wouldn't say so. It might be less known than Semi-Charmed Life or How's It Going To Be and Jumper but it still is one of their most famous songs.
for real
One of the best debut albums of the 90s
It reminds me of the 90's
...Ever.
Ever yep
Agreed. I say this as a black woman who grew up in the hood. I listened to their album almost everyday before and after school.
In 20 years these guys will be considered absolute legends of cultural music. They defined the sound of the 90s in one album.
You know, for all the 'backlash' this group got...nothing is going to deny that this whole album was really really good.
@@scottieray Definitely a strong debut album. These guys are talented musicians in my book.
This is a great great great debut album. Their album “Blue” was good too.
100% false
Beyond excellent album. Blue was a close 2nd!
Best opening track on an album EVER.
This is one of the best albums of all time. I will die on this hill.
Correction this is the best album of all time and written just before having an album of all quality stopped mattering!

Top 10 album of the 90s, having this cd meant you were cool.
Their first 3 albums and demos are truly timeless classics in my opinion. Not a single bad song. These days I have to listen to them in very specific scenarios/contexts because of how emotional the music makes me. Crazy. Time really flies.
Nadz Watson I can relate to that 💆
_No prob w women incubate/lactate_
I completely understand what you mean!
agreed
Same here. The music reminds me of a very specific relationship I was in at the time. Funny how that works.
One of the few perfect albums in Rock history - every track is a masterpiece. The music, the composition, the lyrics it was truly magical. Not sure if Stephen sold his soul to the devil or what but every damn song is super relatable, catchy, thoughtful and wrought with pure emotion. Bravo 3EB!
you didn't mention the production quality, the album just sounds so nice
He just got clean and sober and his soul body and mind rewarded him! 😅😅😅❤❤❤
On the surface, this sounds like a throwaway punk-pop song. But, if you pay attention to the lyrics, it's extremely insightful. It's definitely my favorite Third Eye Blind song.
Agreed but if you're an actual music listener you will know this song is something special right away.
Kinda get the feeling like I'm being used. This video rocks
I remember being 18 and just sitting and listening to this whole album in my car. Man I miss those days. I took my girlfriend at the time to their concert and bought us both shirts and she still stole mine. 😂
What a timeless classic. They deserve all the praise. Sounds so fresh even after so many years
this song suddenly takes on a whole meaning

Ever think about writing a novel about it? Set in the 90s? I'd read it.. who knows, could be cathartic, could also be a top seller. Food 4 Thought..
Brother we are kindred spirits 4 ever
This album also reminds me of my brothers lifestyle back then early 20s losing a whole year definitely described him, alcohol drugs women crime was what he did .
Nothing screams 90s like Third Eye Blind. We love you guys! Thanks for making songs for us to share memories with-
Gin Blossoms? Lisa Loeb?
Something screams 1990s. And plenty of other bands do 100000x >

Talk about losing a whole year! Get ready everyone.

More like losing four whole years

This one is my favorite, still can't get over how dark this band is for being sooo happy and poppy
The dichotomy is amazing.

Cheers to that brother
Vintage 3eb. Most influential album I’ve ever owned. “In the car, in the kitchen you were good to go...”
"I took your stuff and put it in the basement"
"When I found out what the smile on your face meant"
I still love those lines...
“Now we're stuck with the tube
A sink full of dishes and some aqua lube”
I felt this.
I wish Kevin stayed. They would’ve been legendary
They left him at a hotel. He had no choice. I agree, he was a killer songwriter.
Great band my favorite song by them is graduate 💯
we all gotta love missing someone toxic even with knowing it's bad news

Worldwide anthem for the year 2020
I love the simplicity of this video. No need for flashy dancing or any of that, just a total banger and a simple but relatable situation.
25 years ago today this album changed my life

It's Mike Urbano on this song. Brad is great though
@@oldmanellis2130 Thank you for the correction. Mike Urbano deserves credit for such an outstanding performance.

Guitars too,,, the sheet music is actually really technical. These guys are really talented
Late to the party but, I’ve always been impressed with the tight drumming and the guitar in this song is crazy, the unique tuning alone is wild.

Wow! Haven't heard this song in so long. Still a great song!

Buying their album when it came out is the best buy i have ever done and still today they are just as good.
"Convinced you found your place with the pierced queer teens in cyberspace"... The line to end all lines in a 90s song. I funkin luv this song!

in a garage sale in the 2000s. it was therapy for me. One of the best song writers ever in my opinion.
Another song about narcissism? Such an AMAZING song and band.
Love their music...
had their album and never listened to this song!!! wowwww

Man, I haven’t listened to this in years. Forgot just how much these guys rocked out. This is a hard jam
What a song. God, that hurts.
This slow motion video is one of the best! She is perfect! How beautiful they are together! 🌹
It's crazy to me that this album never received a top 10 on billboard charts in the late 90's. So fucken underrated.
Good ole days...missing this kind of music...full of good memories♡♡♡
One of the very best albums I have ever heard! And to think I found this album inside of a cd case that was left in a laundromat. What a great find!
My absolute favorite 3EB
It's crazy that Alex G played bass for this band and what he went on to achieve.
Didn’t know there was a video for this. This was their sound that made them stars.
Legendary song for sure brings back alot of great memories with great friends that aren't around no more for sure too
