****NEW**** 311 Uplifter Pre-Release - I Like the Way

[TitWarlord]

did this guy punch himself in the balls to get his voice that high?

[SkaMasta097]

It hard to believe that this amazing album is already 2 years and 2 days behind us already.

[Draden311]

Happy 311 day!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SclafaniBagni]

I think everybody has that one band that will never let them down, no matter how much you change and your style evolves, there's always that one band that sticks with you. For me, 311 is that band.

[LEOPARDSTARICECLAN]

@SclafaniBagni that is the same way i feel!! 311 was also my very first huge concert and i had my first beer there too ahhaha <3 gotta love 311 :D

[blazinkygirl]

I love listening to this when I get off work. I whip out the parking lot like "yeah yeah yeeeah yeah!" Love it! Love 311!

[bflyr1]

Been harcdore 311 fan for going on 20 years. They keep evolving and producing great music. Stop asking for albums like grassroots and music, they wont happen again, they're that good. Realize Uplifer is that good too.

[nklingler]

True that bro. 3 dub has ALWAYS been legit! Sick tight!

[galantman1000]

this must have been playing the night buddha reached enlightenment

[ThriceDog]

Bob rock had a good influence, they've never been heavier and I think the sound really works, especially songs like this and golden sunlight.

[plurminaDURR]

[Oreillyisthebest]

baby...are we reaaaaaaaaaady...yeah yeah yeah yeah!!!

[Oreillyisthebest]

@dewshbag2 oh really?

[dewshbag2]

@Oreillyisthebest

[Oreillyisthebest]

@dewshbag2 no its definitely "ready"

[JasonGOrtiz]

@dewshbag2 Right, because "worthy" totally rhymes with "steady".

[727DropA]

@dewshbag2 you sir, win the misheard lyrics award

[ibersue]

Just saw 311 in concert, amazing!

[xRemnant]

What would you call this style of music? As in the genre?

i like songs like this. <3

[lordchunkyfat]

You call it 311!

[moephan311]

youd call this omaha stylee :)

[Visoball5550]

why isnt this on the normal album. this is the best song ive heard off of it. fuck bob rock haha. i bought the normal album and then discovered that there were more songs and the extra songs are better than every other song on the album

[MSancheezy33]

can we, rock steadyyy

[elvis3813]

311 ROCKED!!!

[Fwiech]

BOMBASS SONG!

[reggaecracker]

yeah man, much bless, rastafari...yes I...

[Iknowgoodmusic]

It reminds me of a transistor song at 2:30

[reggaecracker]

what song?

[SAdavidNO]

Chorus is kinda annoying, but man that guitar at the start is so awesome. Great 1-2 punch (SA n Nick) with the lyrics. Great song

[reggaecracker]

what annoy's you ?

[reggaecracker]

yeah they killed it.

[Oodus]

I didn't like this song at first, but hot damn, it grew on me. Can't stop listening to it.

[Iknowgoodmusic]

agree

[MrKenn210]

311 for warm summer nights forever!!! No band is better i say!!! This is probably my favorite song so far on uplifter!!

[mystrov]

Irvine show was the shit! 311 rocked nasty! and the whole place smelled so good! ;)

[kickmo]

the chorus is dam awesome

[shwedilpop]

saw this song played at virginia beach...FUCKING AMAZING LIVE!!!!!!! if u don't have this album already then u need to get it

[ghtjdkdff]

omg i am so getting there cd

[SAdavidNO]

Has a 'strong all along' (my fav 311 song) beat going. Pretty good song, not a big fan of SA's chorus part.

[Hyperbolist]

DUUUUUDE chorus is so badass.

[reggaecracker]

this song rules...

[duop9999]

omg essay ROCKS when he sings!!!

[resq4f]

duop his name is SA u stupid fuck

[jpearson311]

Essay!!!! Holy shit that was funny!

[Oreillyisthebest]

i like how he sang it live....he comes forward for his part then dips back to the back when its not his part hahah its great....little guy has mad style

[Iknowgoodmusic]

There is a mixture of slow and fast songs like they always do CaptPlaceholder. Do you have grassroots? They stay with a formula that works and if you were a fan you would know. Just listen to down on repeat and keep your comments to yourself.

[Vherna82]

great song!!!! as always 311 brings it!!!!

[jules679]

saw them live tonight...thos song was sick, the whole concert was

[CaptPlaceholder]

I'm kinda disappointed with the new album, to be honest. Too many slower sappy love-ish songs.

This song is wonderful, though.

[Hyperbolist]

well, we all now know Nick loves his wifey.

i agree, i was disappointed by the lyrics, but musically, it was really good.

the one thing missing was chad's snare... where is it?? i miss the snare sound from Transistor and Soundsystem...

LOVE this song.

[georgeisking]

Sounds like Britney Spears - "Soda Pop"

[tam705618]

who sings the chorus? the female voice.

[Johnivthegreat]

fuck the naysayers b\c they don't mean a thing

[kingsbsktbll55]

this is what style we bring!

[LargeInTheMargin311]

lmao, it's a guy.... Doug "S.A." Martinez he's the other singer/rapper/DJ

[tam705618]

at 0:51 is a guy singing?! It can't be... lol

[kind2311]

dude, thats SA martinez

take a tip from one of the dopest emcees around

311 is the +tip!

word

[Iknowgoodmusic]

If you can tell at 2:30 it reminds me of transister. Does it not to you?

[Iknowgoodmusic]

My heart sings then this are my fav.

[bub5369]

this song is most definetly top 3 songs on this album hands down

[midwestpancake]

song is fucking awesome live :)

[bpfahl7]

I agree something out of nothing and never ending summer were the best live off the new album

[Johnivthegreat]

you got it this shit sounds raw live red rocks was mine and it was the shit

[lindseymichelle222]

this was amazing live

i love the new album

[jpearson311]

Man, what ever happened to SA's voice. It just sounds awful!!!! Ya Ya Ya! Terrible!  Grassroots forever!

[EpicThreeLEvan]

you will like it in a couple more listens

enjoy it for what it is, good music

[zjg5001]

SA Martinez is my favorite musician of all-time, and I don't like the way his vocals are utilized on this album and Evolver...singing some harmonies is fine from time to time, but the way he flows on more recent songs like "Sick Tight" and "Creatures" is classic SA.

[MissBriotch]

wrong. then hes not your fav musician if u dont like every aspect of his talent. this is very good vocals and it isnt easy to sing like that. those songs are good but they are more mature now if u havent realized... its good either way, be a real fan and grow with the band and be down for whatever they make

[georgeisking]

Everyone knows that his or her favorite artist is going to miss once in a while. Even Queen missed on "Innuendo." Blindly accepting whatever someone puts in front of you (even if it sucks) just because it's person A or person B doesn't make you a "real fan," it just makes you ignorant. And anyway, I don't really understand why you're being so bossy about what this guy can call his "favorite." There aren't rules, and if there were, you wouldn't be the one making them up.

[Johnivthegreat]

they only miss to people who only like the hits but true 311 fans rock it all out and love it all same with any die hard fans 311 has never fit the mold of total mainstream and they never will they just keep the room bouncin you know

[LargeInTheMargin311]

hell yeah dude anyone who doesn't like this just isn't a true fan...The mainstream brainwashes people into thinking music should be something it's not. That's why dumbass lady gaga is topping the charts. This album debuted at #3 on the billboard top 200 ..if that doesn't do it for you that's the highest any of their ablums have ever debut. And all statistics aside I heard an interview with Hexum and he said they just simplified their writing process they just wrote it as it was.. 311 forever!!!!

[Johnivthegreat]

they are one the only bands to be able to step between the underground scene and the mainstream almost at will it seems keep livin and rockin

[RiotOfLoR]

@MissBriotch You're a tool. Georgeisking is right. DMB is my all time favorite artist, but there have been songs produced that I don't care for. There is no one artist whom I have enjoyed every single song ever put out. I respect and appreciate the songs, but damn... sometimes people bomb, and sometimes it's just not my cup of tea.

[EpicThreeLEvan]

sweet tune

[notableword]

this is my favorite song its funky as shit and has my head movin the whole time

[D27XFactor8227]

punkrocker probably thinks greenday is real music, haha. he's such a joke

[misssiera311]

Fuck the naysayers

311's got the boom ya'll

[jesshead311]

my favorite new 311 song

[phuckface22]

they are playing on Jimmy Kimmell tonite

[Charlie311Osburn]

People have their own opinions. Being a long long time fan, I can admit this isn't the best or worst album.  Musically it's ok, lyrically, I expected better. Nick wasn't pleased with Don't Tread on Me... Therefore, I thought the album was going to be much better.

[dmorin311]

i have to agree with you man...jackpot is really sick. i like how they went back to their rapping roots on the track. but overall im not too impressed but anything is better than dont tread on me..

[rancor58]

dont tread on me is decent, this album is better though

[Eho9717]

this album is pure sex

[ycusa]

it's amazing how negative fans of such a positive band can be

[punkrocker1208]

man this fucking sucks ass..... o wait 311 sucks ass!

[BrokenAffliction]

mmm what do you listen to green day? or some other garbage like punk rock or other rock wannabees?

this is real music

go listen to paramore you fag

[punkrocker1208]

u think THIS is real music? hahaha! well ur obviously not a musician so i'll forgive ur silly little comment :)

[Redhotjoepeppers]

Just because it's simple doesn't mean it's bad. I have the same fight with my friend all the time. The bassist is amazing its just a funky jammin tune with soul. In the same sense, really difficult music to play doesn't mean it's a good song.

[punkrocker1208]

i never said anything about simple being bad.......

[seattle151]

@BrokenAffliction thank you. i cant stand paramore...

[TangPolice]

@BrokenAffliction woah, theres nothing wrong with punk rock.

[DoodleCakez]

311 sucks ass? tell me another band that to this day is still putting out music since 1989 and still has there whole original line up.....pussy scum learn the traits of music and dont listen to 311 if you hate them...go and whack off to your chiodos or avril lavign or whatever you soft bodyies listen to in your bitch ass hick town.

[punkrocker1208]

hahahaha! wow u sound so stupid? are u just a faggot ot actually retarded? hahaha!

[phuckface22]

Aerosmith....a lot longer than '89 too

[savvynomad]

punkrocker1208 sucks asses... it's true, just ask Richard Simmons, he'll let you know this fact!

[punkrocker1208]

are u foreign or just retarded?

[eclecticderby]

punkRocker must be a fan of the band anal cunt.... all their fans are retarded, so fuck the naysayers cos they dun mean a thing.

[Iceheart58]

@punkrocker1208 you suck a%$ jerk!!

[wesjoe311]

Like it alot! This song reminds me of Soundsystem for some reason. But I like the way this song give it to me, yea yea yea yea!

[FruscianteLennon311]

I like the way this song sounds.

SA fucking rules!!!

[PaeprDragn]

Awesome song

[CuteWhenYouScream311]
