Tony Fredianelli was brought in to replace Cadogan, but was fired in , resulting in another lawsuit against Jenkins.

I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really — I was alive. Perhaps ego has influenced his seemingly cutthroat manner of control over Third Eye Blind, as both an artistic outlet and a business.

Fans may never truly know, but for a little insight on the atmosphere of the Blue recording sessions, an atmosphere that I feel has — in many ways — informed this band for the past 13 years, I reached out to Kevin Cadogan via e-mail and was thrilled to learn that he was more than happy to discuss this iconic album in a refreshingly candid fashion.

Cowen: Blue , in my opinion, is very easily one of the most adventurous and daring rock albums of its time period. However, the album is still very much a pop album, and an accomplished one, at that. Cadogan: I am proud of my work on that record. I feel validated in respect to my efforts to get songs on the album that were either left off or were about to be discarded. It was a good record I think could have been better. I knew it was going to be one of the last albums released in the 20th century released November , and I wanted it to reflect everything I had heard and experienced in music.

The album means different things to different people. I think the first album was better conceived and more cohesive. Complicated but wildly accessible. This unique style continues on the duration of the album. Did you find yourself intentionally refraining in certain areas? Did you want to be even more exploratory with what you were writing at the time? I certainly did refrain in some areas and explore in others. Overall, I wanted the album to be very experimental.

Where were your heads at, both collectively and individually, when you guys really started to dive into new material after the whirlwind of tours surrounding the self-titled album? Did you have a united goal of outdoing yourselves, or did you simply aim to make something worthwhile? Honestly, it was a very, very tough period. I had just learned that Stephan had all shares of our corporation issued to himself. I seemed to be alone in my disgust at the situation.

Because of this, I thought about quitting every day and felt I would do so after the tour for [ Blue ]. These were difficult circumstances going into a record and trying to be creative. The making of the album was, simply put, not a united effort — not even close. I was desperately trying to get some ownership and Stephan was desperately trying to get rid of the person standing in his way of complete ownership.

In reality, before we even tracked a note for Blue , plans were being made to replace me. I would later learn through the manager that every effort was being made to get me off the record deal at that point. Blue was almost never made. After the tour for the debut and during this contentious period, Stephan and I decided to set things aside and get to work at my house.

We set up some equipment and had the engineer, Jason Carmer, come over and record our ideas. This two-week period was the first and only time we collaborated on anything since writing songs for the debut. I am proud to say that I did my best, given the situation, to give fans a great record. The business of the band was awful, but the music, at times, was great. Would you agree? I always try to create interesting atmospheres that work well with headphones.

Ping-pong delays, dry and distorted panned guitars, reverse echoes; things like that make for good headphone listening. The guitar almost serves as a second vocalist on both of these albums, which definitely set Third Eye Blind apart from your radio contemporaries of the time. Also, our live performance working as a band, not hired hands in the shadows.

You can tell when you are watching a real band where the guys that are playing are the ones that actually put the sweat into creating the music. I know the audiences that we were playing for felt that authenticity, and that was a big reason why we sold so many records during the debut tour. The guitar work that I am most proud of is on my first solo record.

Back then, it was called Bully For You. It is now re-released as Wunderfoot. It was still very expensive to record back then, and now I am very excited about all the recording tools musicians and songwriters have at their disposal. Specifically, Logic Pro X and Waves plug-ins make it possible to make a great record without all the studio hoopla. Third Eye Blind — which now consists of original members Stephan Jenkins lead vocals, guitar and Brad Hargreaves drums, backing vocals , as well as Kryz Reid guitar, backing vocals , Alex Kopp keyboards , and Alex LeCavalier bass , are currently on a U.
