Third Eye Blind - Screamer (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 9

Yeah this album is excellent. Y’all scared me for nothin’ 11/12 for me

 

I tend to judge your Third Eye Blind judgement so I feel a little better now haha Hope to listen in the next couple hours.

 

How does this compare to Dopamine? Better worse or about the same?

I’m glad to hear this isn’t awful, I was slightly worried it’d be forgettable.

 

Imo it's pretty similar to Dopamine

 

I think it’s slightly more experimental but phenomenal

 

This is good news

 

"ways" is much better on record than it was live

 

oh god "tropic scorpio" put it in my veins

 

3EB hasn't released a bad album. Not sure why anyone is worried.

With that being said -- starting Screamer.

 

i don't haaate "2x tigers" but i do think it's....kind of unnecessary. parts of it are cool

 

i bet billy corgan told him to do a trap song

 

"take a side" is NOT their worst closer, it's pretty tight. wonderful album

 

Six songs in and digging it so far. Cautiously awaiting 2X Tigers based on the comments haha

 

Hahahaha 2X Tigers is something else

 

First half of this is SUPER strong, then I got bored.

 

So I like a lot, dislike a little, but don’t love anything. I’d say 7/11 with maybe 2-3 standout-ish songs, but nothing I’d pick over most of their other stuff. Light It Up, Screamer, Who Am I are my faves for now?

 

Pretty much my exact take on it based on first listen.

 

this is still a banger honestly. early Live slams

he thought it would scare off the shapeshifters

 

Where y’all finding this, I’m suddenly optimistic

 

Hmmmm

I got through the first 5 tracks and was about to say the rumours of the demise were exaggerated... and then the second half of the album happened

Tropic Scorpio is indeed excellent, and then the last 6 or 7 songs blur into this poppy mash of mediocrity

Why the hell are all these songs so short? Not much here feels fleshed out or particularly well executed in a studio sense. There’s still strong writing here, but it’s bogged down by this samesy vibe that didn’t always plague this band but pretty much has since sometime around the middle of Ursa Major

There are enough great songs between this and We Are Drugs to make one solid album, but Stephen really needs to drop the ego and let someone else in the band audit his ideas, because there’s simply not a lot here that can be expected to hold a longtime fan’s interest or even attract new ones

 

It is incredibly samesy

 

i think the album is incredibly strong and varied from "tropic scorpio" -> "light it up." how are y'all including "turn me on" and "got so high" in this supposedly "samesy" run?

 

Compared to their others, it's definitely bottom tier.

 

I can’t think of a closer I think is worse...

 

First 6-7 songs are good then it still drops off a steep edge for me.
