Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.0/100, a mean average of 68.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 69.6/100. The standard deviation for this album is 15.2.

Messier than their debut, but still fun and very ambitious. On tracks like Darwin and 10 Days Late, the band pairs Stephan Jenkins' wonderfully weird and streetwise lyrics with big sunny singalong hooks. Never Let You Go is a shameless radio-ready pop song done absolutely right.
Sounds pretty messy stylistically reflecting a tumultuous period of the band's history however here are some great and essential Third Eye Blind songs on the first half of this album
Favorite Songs: Darwin, Slow Motion
Blue is 3EB branching into experimental territory via U2 influence through original guitarist Kevin Cadogan; the best the band has had. This album didn't have nearly the impact the debut did on 90's culture and so can't be held in the same regard. The music is here a less accessible but it pays off in the end. Unfortunately too many fans jumped off the bandwagon and never really returned. Which is a shame because this album is pretty good.
Anything and Wounded are a fantastic 1 2 punch to start the record off.
Anything is a short punk rock carthartic plea to do anything for someone to keep them around
Wounded sounds like previous 3EB rap sing songs. This one is one notch better for its epic scope, spacey guitar effects, and great drum fills.
10 Days Late and Deep Inside of You have all the sexual innuendos we have come to expect and enjoy from writer/singer Jenkins.
Never Let You Go, the single, doesn't really fit in here with the rest of the albums sound. It is a simple song with some melodic falsetto. Sounds like an album add on hoping for a single.
Red Summer Sun has some 80's hair band screaming influence which is alternative 3EB and also turns up the epic.
Camouflage hides and mixes Jenkins voice in wet effects around a hypnotic atmospheric sound which is different from anything else 3EB has done before or since.
Darkness is another highlight
This was quite a departure for a sophomore effort that doesn't seem to be shooting for the mainstream stars. It's a really good album though but everyone left after a few listens and now it lives in obscurity. Sadly.
3EB from here would get scared and return to their straight forward Pop Rock on Out of the Vein to follow in 2003
This is a Summer Record for sure. Its about being out with your friends in the warm weather and having a good time. Kevin Cadogans U2 influence can be found here.

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
