Hmm. Now that I think of it, I only really remember one or two people saying they didn't like it, and it was probably someone on the BB. It could just be a vibe I get from some comments or lack of comments. It seems like it gets a "least solid track" sorta reputation. Maybe I'm just weird....

I quite like it. It's not the best song they've ever recorded, and it doesn't hold back on the cheese, but it's not that bad. I mean, is it? I'm not a music snob by any means, but I just don't get why folks seem to think this song is so terrible.

I told them the line "Gonna get it on, yeah," does not mean what they want it to mean. They did not believe me, I guess.

The unit I'm teaching my students this week in Music Appreciation is lyric analysis. This is the song we're doing today. Top three things this song is about, according to 7th graders. 3. "Sex, obv." 2. "A really bad boxer." 1. "Winning only one game the whole season, and it...

you don't think there getting soft? Go listen to grassroots and the blue album and tell me if you hear any of this? Remember when SA said "the day we turn to pop the show will stop" ? Well you better cancel the tour then. What happened to the music that we all fell in love with? Everyone ...

I almost just wrote a whole post about how they didn't play Showdown. I'm glad I didn't, and I'm glad they did. I bet it's pretty sick live.

Wasn't this song officially released at some point? It was around the time of the greatest hits CD, all of which I already had, so I wanted something new. I enjoyed it, I suppose.

I love Uproxx, but that is a shitty list. "311's singles" =\= "311 songs everyone should know."

Fuck amber and fuck love song. Both of those songs blow.

EDIT: Sorry if I've offended anyone.

This is becoming my favorite. It's fun to steering-wheel drum, and I love the guitars during SA's rap, especially the little fill in between the first half and the second half. And then when Nick comes in singing and you sorta think it's gonna slow down, and then it just jumps right back into it? Lo...

Nowadays I'm sort of put off by Nick rapping, I think I just have a hard time taking his lyrics seriously. Then again, SA is responsible for singing "Baby, we ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," so that might be a little unfair of me. I love the breakdown the last third of this song. Who doesn...

The instrumental for Nick's rap section is the shit. It reminds me honestly of Grassroots era 311, when crazy shit just comes out of nowhere. Not saying it SOUNDS like it, just reminds me.

boomshanka might be one of the bigger disappointments on the album for me. It's definitely growing on me and I do like it. I was just expecting something heavier for some reason when I first saw the title. I had opposite expectations, then the same, then I didn't know wtf to think. At first I was l...

the vocal melody in the chorus reminds me of SOMETHING. and I can't place it. It's driving me nuts every time i hear it. Sometimes I think Rush - Tom Sawyer. Or maybe it's some Metallica song... The Unforgiven? fuck. someone help I think it's more the rhythm that is reminiscent of something, less t...

This is one of the songs where I like the instrumentals better than the vocals, though the vocals are miles and miles ahead of the songs on UP and Uplifter. Chad's drumming is impressive. I wish he would go all out more. I like his subtlety, but I like when he really rips, too. The shift to half-tim...

Is it miT or P-Nut at the beginning, there? My first thought was P-nut, but now it sounds like Tim. SA kills it in this song. I love it when he takes the lead in the chorus. I love the slow build of the bridge-end.

Did not dislike, but wasn't wowed by this song at first listen, but it has grown on me, especially in context of the rest of the record. The guitars' entrance into the chorus is the shit. I like the solos here, as well. I love the shift in style into the rap section. That's the shit about 311 I love...

I can't tell if I don't actually like it, or if I just equate hearing that riff to having just watched one of the pledge interview videos. I liked the videos, but after a while it got kind of annoying that this was the song that played during them, I wanted to hear more. I like the Nick-rapping part...

Not really my thing. I can see how others would like it. It's chill, though.

I've learned to take what Nick says with a grain of salt, so when he spoke about this one, I was like, "eh. I may not like that one." I was wrong. The beginning of it is reminiscent of Modest Mouse, which is not a bad thing. Yesterday, I was driving with my fiance (who does NOT like 311) w...
