Third Eye Blind... Bad

At one point, I enjoyed Third Eye Blind's music.

I liked the debut album, and I liked Blue.

In fact, I still like both albums.

However, somewhere in between those albums and now, Third Eye Blind became unlistenable. I'll admit, I didn't listen to the last record, and I've only heard one song from the new record, but it actually made me angry. Take a listen to "Non-Dairy Creamer." Yes, it's really called that.



Aside from the lyrics, which are mostly blatant and political, or blatant and silly, depending on your perspective (maybe both), there's something that's so incredibly unlikeable about his voice. It's the same voice from back in the day, with the same inflection (incidentally, don't ever make the mistake of seeing them live), but somehow it's like nails on a chalkboard to me now.

Also, he used to sleep with Charlize Theron, which infuriates me on several levels.
