311 - Mindspin

[Dweeeeeezy09]

the second half of this song changed my life.

[JuanOfaKind88]

Is this album cover on any shirt?...I want it!

[thomaschavers]

@JuanOfaKind88 They actually have a holiday sale going on right now on 311's website through december 13th. They have re-released the soundsystem shirt for this sale.You need to go check it out.

[JuanOfaKind88]

@thomaschavers Much obliged to you sir, thank you!

[thomaschavers]

@JuanOfaKind88 So, did you get yourself a soundsystem shirt?

[JuanOfaKind88]

@thomaschavers No, I did not but I did get some cool stickers and wrist bands, another time perhaps. Again, Thank you!

[Numonkei]

@JuanOfaKind88 I found my green shirt that has 'Grass' on the front and 'Roots (311)' on the back!...and it's showing wear, shouldn't have worn it so damned much for a straight decade. My '95, '98, and '01 tour shirts are currently worn into multiple kitchen rags...

[JuanOfaKind88]

@Numonkei Jeez...but I hear ya', I too had a shirt I wore out (not a 311 shirt though)...You could have sewn those old shirt into one big shirt or a 311 quilt.

[CommanderMeaty]

This song is a fruit salad :D

[311cacashit]

awesome shit

[Burchisimo311]

man this song is my jam. brings together everything i love about this band.

[JordansHomeMovies]

@LostSpartan16 Tim wasnt in the band yet, it was their guitarist before Mahoney, Jim Watson.

[LostSpartan16]

@JordansHomeMovies Oh wow. EPIC fail. LOL that's what I get for putting that retarded comment. XD

[JordansHomeMovies]

@LostSpartan16 Haha no worries, it was waaay early, pre-Tim Mahoney. P-nut tells the story from time to time in interviews.

[theMasterYehudi]

this is what you want don't front

[CommanderMeaty]

(31,1)16 :D

[SensHockey16]

this song is the shittt!!!!.... i love to blaze, turn on 311, and just chill. this song makes me feel like im in a ridiculous daze. its always at the top of my blazing playlist. but here it is...

311 blazin:

Mindspin, Eons, Evolution, Livin' and Rockin', 8:16am, lucky, silver, taiyed, nix hex, my stoney baby, large in the margin, all mixed up, loco, six, 1 2 3, and do you right

...

also, are you in? and sink beneath the line by incubus

all great blazing songs

[petervincentadviento]

a retard disliked this kind of music.

[ledzeppen]

This song has everything, shit 311 is SICKTIGHT! "losing yourself in the flavor of the month" best line in the song.

[truthstaringyouinthe]

From 1:50 on...pure paradise

[mjday27]

there couldn't be a better name for this song it describes it perfectly

[Robiskool1234]

lol try singing the first chorus in the second part after 1:50, they change key so smoothly

[funky311herb]

chads bass drum is doin major work in this song

[Burchisimo311]

this song has basically everything I love about 311 - heavy guitars (7 string on this one), weird time sigs, nick and sa trading verses, vocal harmonies, and an amazing funky/chill outro. Probably my favorite 311 song, still have not seen it live

[epiesz]

perfect song

[tehbackmaskr]

This album in my opinion was 311 at the peak of their song writing career.

Had a very soft punk rock feel to it, but also very reggae in parts.

[epiesz]

this song has everything 311 has that is good

[ibanezman14]

the ending is so amazing and the change between it and the beginning gets me everytime

[migatoduerme1]

I LoVe 311

[harlita]

<311 always 311. Always.

[ima311boy]

311 FOR LIFE! every album they have ever made is awesome. AND yes including Don't Tread On Me and Uplifer! 311 will always be 311 no matter how old school or new their sound is. Their music is just maturing like they are and its still awesome to this day filled with gnarly positive vibes that are created for the fans to send their ears on a journey. The band just love their life and enjoy it for what it is, and have fun with the music that they make and thats what counts! Fuck the Nay Sayers

[jimmyjones05]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­...........

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­

[zr0hero83]

God, this song is epic. One of the my favorites from 311.

[TempleBrook]

my fave song of 311!!!!

[PicnicTimeNow]

Soundsystem is the shit :)

[RacerXGTO]

1:50 merged with another entirely different song arrangement of theirs.

[unityofchoas]

311 <33333333333333333333333

[hexsex21]

Chad did a really good job with writing the music for this whole song

[phct]

1:50=guitar=step phaser mmmm

[phct]

and wah pedal

[phct]

got tone?  o yes

[RacerXGTO]

or, in studio engineer speak: flange

[phct]

i dunno if that is a flange

[Hurricaneboy318]

@phct flanger pedal

[dreluvsya]

there are so many amazing one liners in this song that are deep on so many different levels. it really blows my mind when i try to grasp every lyric...probly my favorite : "but out of vision comes a memory which is a miracle"

WOW

[thomaschavers]

i love how they change it up starting at the 150 mark

[phct]

311 is known for their amazing switch ups, you probably already know that though

[thomaschavers]

of course. I absolutely love 311.  i also love all the different effect pedals that Tim uses. 311 is truly original and one of a kind.

[GlycerinZ]

I wish I had gotten into 311 sooner than I did.

[valiante38]

its funny, if u like one song you like all of them, or you really hate them, lol. Down grassroots are great too

[yitzchak13]

This song is 9999999999999X better if you hit the HQ button! Usually the quality doesn't make that much in the enjoyment of a song, but in this case it does.

[neil1jnr]

Just bought this album

[batavia710]

great & beauty melody from 1:50 to the end of the song.......

[ia5662]

absolutely man, my favorite part of the soundsystem album is that beautiful melody floating out of this song

[bztuggt311]

the ending of this is :D

[drewsky684]

damn, imagine if uplifter had this kind of sound. It's crazy how much they have changed. I'm not complaining, every song they give us is a gift

[SuperBlackIrish]

I agree. Uplifter and Don't tread on me are terrible. I like every album but those. But, like you said, we cant complain. But that doesn't mean we have to consider everything they do a gift. You and I aren't in the band or personal friends so we have the right to not support them if their music is washed up. I will always love them for the memories.

[rancid311]

@SuperBlackIrish thier live shows are still wicked though thank god

[phct]

i agree, their new albums are odd...grassroots is probably my fav. Soundsystem reminds me of getting wasted in highschool lol, gooood times

[raumbus]

hey this is kinda random but have anybody else ever noticed that in the group picture in this albums liner notes that pnut looks old as fuuuck, like at least mid 40s, a time in which the guy was only 25, haha just thought it was kinda funny bc its only in that one picture

[eNJYneer311]

hand down the greatest 311 song ever composed...this was the peak for 311 in my opinion, so much good music coming out in 1999.

[OfficialRobbieMason]

yeah to me after this album things changed too much. I want them to do stuff like all the albums up to Soundsystem. Transistor is my favorite album but i love this one just as much cause it has that Transistor sound to it

[RMRockstar]

everything that was good about music in the late 90s

[300MUSIC]

@RMRockstar nah, just all 90s was good music. because when the 2000s came, music became shit

[ThomasBarilleaux]

yea just 90s in general has great music

[hexsex21]

The song where miT used a 7 string guitar

[RATMfan92]

@hexsex21 How do you hear it? :/

[SpursCards311]

It might not be as famous as "Down" or "Beautiful Disaster" or as raw as "Homebrew," but this Mindspin is in my TOP 5 311 songs all time! This song=ENERGY!

[LukeDSimpson]

that transition c. 0:55 is killer!

[flashdrc]

How would you ever come up with a scheme this awesome? HEAVY intro and riffage, then the song ends in a totally different key and mood, like a dream.

[OfficialRobbieMason]

yeah! I totally agree I love how the ending makes you feel like your floating on clouds.

[rrc589]

You've both just described what makes 311 so amazing.

[hexsex21]

@flashdrc I guess u can say it...spins your mind.

[PinchinTheBear]

@flashdrc only 311 could do it so wonderfully!!

[Ferebee311]

@flashdrc

The magic of 311.

[Jestes311]

@flashdrc well it is called Mindspin.  :)

[Thedude112123]

Super Nova!!!

[Thedude112123]

hahahahahahahahaha

[Ryu121275]

the atmospheric ending alone could sell this song to me

[iowatrainer09]

melts my face off

[69Mizos]

[thomaschavers]

this is one of my fav songs from soundsystem. 311 is one of my top 3 favorite bands. and i always love cranking 311 when i go to panama city beach. 311's music fits cruising the beach on a beautiful day perfectly.

[guinness78904321]
