Screamer (album)
''Screamer'' is the sixth studio album by the American alternative rock band Third Eye Blind. It was released on October 18, 2019 by Mega Collider Records. Background Frontman Stephan Jenkins had made many different comments about the prospect of the band recording a sixth studio album prior to the release of ''Screamer''. As far back as 2012, Jenkins stated that the band would not ever make a sixth studio album, stating that after the release of their fifth studio album, 2015's '' Dopamine'', they would cease recording full albums in favor of touring and recording smaller EP releases. In the coming years, the band would focus on EP releases, including '' We Are Drugs'' in 2016, a cancelled EP entitled ''Summer Gods'' that was supposed to explore trap music in 2017, and an EP of cover songs, '' Thanks for Everything'', in 2018.
