Third Eye Blind “Ursa Major” – WOW, 3EB came back with a vengeance with an album that will easily make my top 10 list for the year.  I was hesitant on what to expect from Ursa Major but was pleasantly surprised when I put the CD in and listened, it reminds you that 3EB is still a force to be reckoned with.  I will be writing a full review of the album but for right now just express my first thoughts of listening.

The Matches “Album 4, Unreleased, Graphics? Title? Or Not Needed?” - When it was announced that The Matches were breaking up my first reaction was that it might be a good idea seeing that the bands recent material was not impressive whatsoever.  When they announced that since they were breaking up they were going to release a digital only rarities, b-sides album I was convinced I would not purchase it.  I had a change of heart and decided to purchase the album for the purposes of giving it a chance and also writing about it for My Ears Bleed.  I should have gone with my gut, this album is horrible, it had lackluster lyrics and the music was also lacking.  If your a fan of The Matches I strongly suggest you skip buying this so that it doesn’t leave a sour taste in your mouth and also its $9.99 you will never be able to recoup.
