About
Ursa Major is the fourth studio album from American alternative rock band Third Eye Blind released on August 18, 2009. Ursa Major is first studio album from the band in over six years. The first single from the album was "Don't Believe a Word", which debuted on the radio June 5, 2009. Work on Ursa Major began shortly after the release of Out of the Vein in 2003, however, frontman Stephan Jenkins' writer's block slowed down the album's progress. The working title of the album was The Hideous Strength, after a similarly named C.S. Lewis' book. According to Jenkins, the album's name was subsequently changed to Ursa Major because "...We’ve been hibernating and now we’ve awakened and we are hungry for spring and we want to feed and we want to thrive." Another album, Ursa Minor, is scheduled to follow Ursa Major and will include songs that were recorded during the Ursa Major sessions.
