I only really know Third Eye Blind's first album, but I liked it a lot, and The Background really stuck with me through high school. All this to say I can't vouch for the rest of their discography
The 1st Third Eye Blind album is honestly a straight up masterpiece and EASILY the most underrated album of the 1990s. It barely gets talked about and IMO it's a top 10 overall album of that decade. Go song by song, it's straight bangers. 2 absolute mega hits that still see mainstream radio play daily 25 years later, a bunch of super strong other songs, AND the album has an overall sound and flow beginning to end, with the 2nd half of the album becoming super melancholy, like an ending relationship.
Losing a Whole Year, Narcolepsy, Graduate, Burning Man, Thanks a Lot, and Motorcycle Drive By are all definitely stronger songs aside from the aforementioned The Background and obvious 3 huge singles.
I've liked every Third Eye Blind song I've heard, but I can't listen to them without recalling all the amazing ridiculous Stephan Jenkins stories I've heard in the last 15 years.
