When Third Eye Blind dropped โ€œSemi-Charmed Lifeโ€ in 1997, the earworm chorus and scrappy melody sounded downright fresh. Along with Weezer and The Presidents of the United States of America, the San Francisco outfit signaled a new breed of alt-rock, one eschewing grungeโ€™s bludgeoning heaviness and brooding sincerity for power-pop hooks and lyrics capable of twisting ironic humor and heartfelt sincerity into a pretzel. A good deal of the credit goes to vocalist Stephan Jenkins, a nuanced lyricist who graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a degree in English literature before co-founding the band in 1993. โ€œSemi-Charmed Lifeโ€ on its face sounds lighthearted; a close listen, however, reveals Jenkins addressing issues of addiction and existential insecurity. Another prime example of the bandโ€™s deceptive songcraft arrived in the form of โ€œNever Let You Go,โ€ which anchored Third Eye Blindโ€™s second album, 1999โ€™s Blue: The hit single wears its Cars influences proudly on its sleeve while the singer cleverly blurs the lines between heartfelt love and creepy obsession. On 2003โ€™s Out of the Vein, which plays out like a bummer breakup album, Jenkins canโ€™t help but insert the cheeky rocker โ€œCrystal Baller,โ€ on which he sounds both extremely heartbroken and utterly hilarious. Itโ€™s this very qualityโ€”an ability to laugh in the face of lifeโ€™s succession of tragediesโ€”that has helped Third Eye Blind retain such a doggedly loyal fanbase well into the 21st century. The 2019 album Screamer may find the band soaking up the kidsโ€™ edgy synthesizers and indie-rock moves, but deep down, the humor, sass, and smarts therein are quintessential Third Eye Blind.
