The 1997 Elektra debut of Third Eye Blind gets the 20th anniversary treatment on 2 CDs or 3 LPs with a host of bonus material. The album is augmented with an extra eight tracks, nearly all of which are unreleased. There are two new tracks ("Alright Caroline" and "Scattered") based on song ideas from the Third Eye Blind sessions; demos of "Semi-Charmed Life" and a cover of The Velvet Underground's "Heroin"; and early versions of songs from the band's 1999 follow-up Blue ("Kiss Goodnight," later rewritten as "Ode to Maybe," and "Slow Motion," released as an instrumental on Blue but reissued with its controversial lyrics on the group's 2006 greatest-hits set). A Japanese bonus track, "Tattoo of the Sun," rounds out the bonus material.
