Third Eye Blind is the eponymous debut for the American alternative rock band Third Eye Blind, originally released on April 8, 1997. It spawned several singles, including top 10 charting "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 104 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 6x Platinum by the RIAA.
The layout of the back artwork was inspired by that of The Beatles' album Revolver. 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 with a dark red band logo. The photo was then changed to red with a yellow logo at the band's request. UK and other Continental European nations continued offering the gold edition, and Japan had a cyan, negative photo cover.
