PLEASE CHECK OUT MY ROCK ON COVER. IM ALMOST DONE WITH IT. I NEED TO FINISH THE BRIDGE AND OUTRO. I HAVE BEEN PLAYING 311 COVERS FOR ABOUT 10 YEARS PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
I'm one of those people who liked Evolver but didn't like anything past that. This album has that same vibe that i got the first time I listened to Soundsystem, and that's great. Yes, the lyrical content can be goofy or awkward sometimes, but I challenge anyone to point out a time in 311's career where the lyrics HAVEN'T been goofy in some way. I just like the fact that the hard-driving energy from albums like Transistor or From Chaos is back here.
true that, 311 used to be able to write lyrics about weed and drugs and slinkin fat subs of course, and fuck the bullshit, and what the fuck was i thinking, and if you hurt her again i'll fuck you up, and jackolantern's weather, and their stoney baby's and nix hex.... etc.. the only difference is there was a more rebellious tone, since they were younger and leaned towards hard rock/rap. now they're 40 and don't have anything to bash or be upset about. this album is dope
I've been with 311 since like 97 or so, and this song right here, "Wild Nights", is actually really good in my assessment. It totally keeps the vibe of 311 alive, and the guitar bass and drums are just so smooth and rhythmic. Although I have strange feelings about several of the tunes on this album still (its really new), and I have had strange thoughts about their last few albums, this is still a winner and this song here "Wild Nights" has epic quality. Keep it up 311.
Totally agree andy. Always loved that about 311. No matter what the mood, 311's songs seem to always take me to another place and put me in a great mood. Cant wait for the new cd and Pow Wow.
my favorite 311 cd is soundsystem, then grassroots, then blue album/transistor/music. but this song is so fucking dope, i've played it about 8 times in row now, shit i can't wait to blast this in my car with the studio quality version
One thing I'm loving about the songs I've heard so far is that they brought back the echo effect on the vocals. I always liked 311's spacey feel. And I found that when listening to Uplifter (which I love) I just imagined the band in a studio. These songs take me to another place - space, forests, islands etc. rather than a music studio.
doesnt it say something about the band that everyone argues about which album is their best...rather than a consensus that one album is the best and other certain albums are garbage
Well, almost enough arguing to quantify some entries as 311.com chat board thread banter. Seals of approval by random internet mini hate machines are not required. The fact of the matter is there will NEVER be another Grassroots or Soundsystem, that's what makes those albums so special. Thisonly adds to their diverse body of work and I'm personally happy to receive another album from such an accomplished band...8 songs or 80. Open challenge to anyone who thinks they can have a better career. <3
@420element get use to it buddy,alot of old school fans dont like the fact they abandoned the heavy funk groove and rap elements,replaced by beach ballads and pop rock.i like 4 tunes on the new one,thats only half the album.it is what it is.furthermore why would you care about comparing careers.its not about fame.you do know sales have declined since the blue album.they have no platinum records since transistor.its wierd that your so happy about their success,your not in the band or on payroll.
@bluefukingreene = I think you failed to read my entry closely. Never said it was about fame. What you are attempting to do is have a straw man argument with me. Problem is you are the only moron in it, have fun. I would like to point out your statement contradicts itself and you have a very poor grasp of compound words/homonyms. You are the weakest link on the thread.
@420element not that big of a deal little guy.if i miss understood you oh well not a big deal.i meant that they are a successful band but that doesnt beniefit you or me so why care.its the music that matters.you would never call me a moron to my face,especially if you knew what i do for living.my comment didnt warrant childish name calling.opinions are what they are people miss the heavy funk and rap and it echoes in the record sales.internet and you tube probably hurts but WHO CARES.
@420element your whole style is queer,you bled out the rear,im walkin thru the burbs with your head on a spear, its clear... your a family fuck slave,ramsacked by dick,ass gaped like a cave,bashed in for days,powerfucked by uncle dave,your ass is a crawl space hide out for aids infected gays,youve been slayed, locked in a basement enslaved,ill use as a table and then break your fuckin legs,your a coward rockin tennis shorts and litte flowers,i called my duck howard hes got dick youll devour.
@420element take it with a grain of salt,i use to think i was a rapper when i was 17.its a joke.you gotta admit that i destroyed you in this battlerap.even though you threw no rymes my way,i pretended that you did.i work less than 25 hours a week so i got time to kill.peace love and bud.
haha dude dont worry about this crazy fucker (bluefukingreene) he thinks he's like a bad ass thug shakespeare, always bragging about his vocabulary and trying to get in (word battles). he just like a deviant 13 year old pervert
@420element I have to disagree to an extent.. Although Their earlier works are amazing I think the new album is probably their best... Tthe lyrical content is much more mature and there are a good bit of melodic elements that are amazing. It really grows on you the more you listen. Besides I'm pretty sure this is their first album free of any pressure from a label. So you're getting 311 without any outside influences.
Transistor is my favorite album thus far. Just my personal opinion, I respect everyones elses. It was just so obscure and different than anything prior.
@Eons44 people are allowed to speak their mind and express their own opinions. If it bothers you enough to post a comment telling people to stop, why not just ignore their posts? seems kind of counter productive.
@Eons44 a spade is a spade bro ham.im not arguing im debating,the one who resorts to name calling, people they dont no less,a bit childish dont you think..notice the good points i made were never even commented on...hmmm.the truth hurts and my wife squirts fuck that dude.

@lackadaniel i completely disagree with you. This is possibly my favorite 311 song of all time. And I've been a fan since Grassroots. This blows anything they've done over the past 10 years or so out of the water IMO.
@lxleightlxl I thought Evolver was a very thorough and terrific album. DTOM kinda sucked (ok it really sucked), but the follow up of Uplifter was "music to my ears". I couldn't take Uplifter out of the player almost all summer.
yeah i've loved 311 ever since blue album but i liked uplifter a lot minus the ballads and a few other songs. india ink and jackpot were bad ass, golden sunlight was chill as hell, hey you, never ending summer, sun come through and get down were way good too. universal pulse is fuckin good minus "trouble"
@faristhesoccerchick I agree that Evolver was a fantastic album and a pinnacle in many ways. Didn't care too much for DTOM but like it just the same. Uplifter is an AMAZING album. Universal Pulse is short and sweet but I love it. Reminds me alot of SoundSystem!!! : )
@lifeisnotarace311 gtfo? what, im not allowed to watch videos of a band ive been listening to for 10 years? i cant come up with my own opinion? its not like I said "fuck 311." all i said was, this doesnt stack up to their classics, like transistor. gtfo if u cant take people with different opinions than ur own. how old are u, 12?
@lackadaniel I think Soundsystem is the most complete 311 album. Transistor doesn't really have any direction...it's just like a plethora of studio tracks 311 made after the Blue album...These 3 songs I've heard take me back to the Soundsystem days...This song especially reminds me of the guitars in LitM, except for the tempo obviously.
@lackadaniel Large in the margin, too lazy to write it all out. There are some good songs on Transistor, there are just a lot that I'm not as fond off, too.
@lackadaniel I do disagree with you on your thoughts. They are growing as musicians. Compare their sound when Music and Grassroots came out to this album and Uplifter. Different sounds yet still the same. I personally feel as this song is very close to their older sound while still growing as artists
@angelkay311 i mean, obviously u cant compare any of their albums, theyre all different. in my personal opinion, this isnt as good. thats all. ive been listening to 311 since i was 12. ive seen em like around 20x. im a seasoned 311 fan. just so u dont think im some noob. it feels like theyre trying too hard here. but once again, thats just me. i hope u enjoy it.
@faristhesoccerchick agree 100% with this. My conspiracy theory is that Chad fell in love with Billy Martin's snare sound/aesthetic back when MMW was on the tour in 2004. Who knows?
I believe this is my favorite track on this particular 311 record. At least at the moment...that chorus reminds me of Evolver and Soundsystem.
