Third Eye Blind is the debut studio album by American rock band Third Eye Blind, released on April 8, 1997. The album spawned five singles, including the top ten chart hits "Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper", and "How's It Going to Be".
While Third Eye Blind only peaked at #25 on the Billboard 200, it spent 106 weeks on the chart. Three singles from the album charted in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100: "Semi-Charmed Life", "Jumper", and "How's It Going to Be". It is the group's best selling album, having been certified 6× Platinum by the RIAA.
There are variations of the cover art. The first US issue of Third Eye Blind, approximately 500,000 copies, featured a gold-tinted cover photograph by photographer Christine Alicino, with a dark red band logo. The photo was then changed to red with a yellow logo (seen above) at the band's request. UK and other Continental European nations continued offering the gold edition, and Japan had a cyan, negative photo cover.
All tracks written by Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan, except where noted.
