it hurts putting any song below 1. every song here is my favorite, i do NOTTT play about 3eb
i don’t think anyone’s gonna read this but anyway, this is the first album i recommend any time someone asks me for a music recommendation. saying this album means everything to me is a MASSIVE understatement. it has genuinely gotten me through the worst hardships of my life. both stephan jenkins and kevin cadogan are two of my biggest inspirations as a writer and guitarist, this album is beautiful and perfect from front to back. i genuinely cannot fit my admiration for it into a simple paragraph to this blog, i’ve never appreciated a single musical piece so deeply. this album is my everything</3
every single song on this album could be my favorite song in general. Narcolepsy easily is because it’s my go-to song in literally every single scenario. the me song EVER!!! Semi-Charmed Life is obviously the band’s hit song, everybody knows it, but it holds a really special place in my heart. it was the first song i ever loved to play on guitar, and in one way or another, it’s tied to every good memory i have. whether it was driving with my siblings, bonding with my mom (rare), singing with my friends. it’s in the background (The Background?😱) of everything for me. every single person i know has also said that it makes them think of me, which makes me feel special, i dunno. it means a lot to me when i get told that, especially with something i hold so dearly. regardless of how much the meaning contrasts with the beat, it’s the only song that actually picks me up. if anything, the contrast is what i love most about the song. it makes everything feel like it’ll be okay even in the worst of times. Motorcycle Drive By is also one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard, hearing it triggers something in me & actually makes my stomach turn. it’s bad.
it’s just extremely, extremely personal to me; i don’t think i’ll ever love any song or album the way i do this one. it’s lowk dramatic but it has literally made me who i am and has drastically bettered my perspective on life. the same way i feel about The Walking Dead is how i feel about this album, it’s very silly but anyone who knows me personally knows i’m insanely passionate for them. probably too much. i get very annoying talking about it bc, as you can tell, i don’t shut up :p
i also deeply admire the version of this album that was rereleased for the 20th anniversary with a few songs and demos. one thing about me is i LOOOOVE my demos, and i usually prefer them over studio versions of songs. Kiss Goodnight — Demo is in my top 5 songs of all time. years ago, i accidentally conditioned myself to fall asleep to this song and for months i couldn’t sleep without playing it, and still to this day, i get increddddibly tired listening to it which feels weird because sleep’s a massive struggle for me. Heroin — Demo is also one of my favorite 3eb songs. i love demos. so much.
i have so much more to say but i’m gonna stop b4 i get too carried away + i doubt anyone’s going2 read this so moral of the story; this album saved my life, this mini essay doesn’t even begin to cover my passion for it
the “me” album ever, Narcolepsy is the “me” song ever, I LOVE THIRD EYE BLIND!!!!!❤️🩹

novels for titles much.. FOB i’m looking at you too.. first album ranking actually posted:p i have many more in my drafts but i’m curious to see how this does lolol. happy birthday afycso, this album means so much to me
my top 6 could genuinely all be at one, and even after that, it’s all very close. i truly think this album is perfect in every way. Fever is so nostalgic for me, i had no reason to be yelling my heart out to Nails for Breakfast at 8 y/o but my older sibling was an emo middle schooler at the time so i digress
Fire In My Heart — Reclaim The Fallen [post-hardcore]
i’d never heard of this band before stumbling upon this song on spotify a couple months ago, and i really need to check them out more.. i think any fan of Taking Back Sunday or early My Chem would like this song
Hella Good — No Doubt [electro-rock]
everyone knows this song but i forgot it existed until one of my best friends added this to her playlist of songs for me n it has been on repeat so everyone needs a reminder
“From Now On We Are Enemies” — Fall Out Boy [pop punk]
UNDERRATED FOB SONG!! as a pre-hiatus fob diehard, i love this song because it sounds like if AB/AP was pre-hiatus. idk if that makes sense but it’s a great song trust
Somewhat Damaged — Nine Inch Nails [industrial rock]
my second favorite song from TWD soundtrack!! love love love this song, i’ve never gotten much into NiN but this song made me want to. it’s worth a listen in my opinion
Star No Star — Jack Off Jill [alternative rock]
has been my favorite joj song for years. added this just cause i think they’re so underrated🙏
i made this blog ready to do so many music essays and rankings (i have a bunch of unfinished ones in my drafts) and then have just died recently.. i WILL get on my shit and finish things i will.. 💆
You should check out the band Meth Wax. Theyre dope
seeing this like 3 days late oopsies😭 BUT i know theyre not like unnnnnderground but i’ve actually never heard anyone else mention them, i used to be crazy about their self titled album! if i remember correctly, i listened to Sea of Blowjobs the most. Arachnophobia too. i love the cover art of that album
i havent listened to their stuff outside of that album which was years ago, i def will tomorrow!! i looked em up on spotify and they have a recent release so thats cool:3
i’ll reblog this talking abt it tmr + might do an album ranking..
