‘Ursa Major’ Takes #1 on Billboard Digital and Independent Charts
“3 out of 4 stars. Third Eye Blind’s music has over the intervening years become an unexpected touchstone…Perhaps it’s that after-the-fact renown that’s kept frontman Stephan Jenkins in fighting form…expect its charms to echo for a while.” – Mikael Wood, LA Times
During Third Eye Blind’s six-year hiatus the band has been reinvented by a youth culture through the internet and word of mouth alone. “We debuted at #3. And on our own imprint! I can not tell you how good that feels,” says frontman Stephan Jenkins, marking Third Eye Blind’s career-high position on the Top 200 Album chart. “We are making this up as we go along, but it’s all about keeping true to a sound – and then amplifying it and not diluting it.”
Ursa Major has sold 49,215 and also earned the #1 position on the Billboard Digital and Independent Charts.”
The Associated Press hails the album as “a musical gem” and “a fine line between aggression and a deft pop sensibility…Jenkins’ lyrics juxtapose poetry with profanity, anger with longing and big world issues with the personal…Third Eye Blind hasn’t forgotten how to lay down a strong record.”
