Three is the third studio album by Blue Man Group, released on April 22, 2016 by Rhino Entertainment.
Reviews were generally positive. Allan Raible said "it may not be for everyone but as on their other two studio offerings the Blue Men show themselves to be gifted musicians."[1] David Seigler said "It has an interesting, mostly rhythmic sound that is identifiably their own."[2]
Simon Sweetmas said "I think Three is easily Blue Man Group’s best set of recordings, and best showcase for the dynamic maximalism the troupe offers"[3] Cristine Struble praised the use of traditional wooden instruments with modern plastic ones.[4]
Promotion
They performed "Vortex" and "The Forge" at a Tiny Desk Concert in September 2016.[5]
