Even the best song in Stereolithic, Showdown, is ruined by P-nut's cartoonish-sounding riff before verses. Uplifter's not my fav but it has its brightspots in Golden Sunlight and Get Down. I only really listen to half of the songs on each album in tier 3. The rest are pretty much filter... I like m...

I really don't think 311 will stop just yet. Based on the fact they gave a fan lifetime free shows, that would be pretty shitty of they stopped touring in the next few years. I suspect they won't any time soon. They've got a lifestyle that will need money, although I wouldn't be surprised if they d...

see them while you can, whenever you can. why not otherwise? seriously. what other bands from the mid-late 90s are even still around, let alone touring ? Funny you should say that. Like 311, my favorite band also formed in the early 90s, released their first real studio album in 1993, released a se...

I really don't think so. Blue, sure, but after 45 I don't think they'll have it in them. I really hope I'm wrong. Just enjoy what shows you can while you can! Dammit, if this is a ploy to make me want see 311 this year, it's working. Grassroots songs or not, I would like to see some Stereolithic li...

I'll be the pessimist and say it, they won't be touring for soundsystem, let alone transistor's 20th............. Blue, maybe.... depending how well this year goes Whoa whoa whoa. Are you saying they may not be touring at all in the coming years? They're getting ready to hang it up or at least slow...

SS in 2019 will be cool, but let's not skip too far ahead shall we? First we need Blue in 2015! It's only triple platinum! They should do a whole tour with Blue in its entirety plus another set of variable stuff to change it up. "This is for all the old school fans!" to start every show.

That's awesome. I know you don't care because you get to go to the anniversary show, but what do you think the odds are of 311 playing a lot of Grassroots songs in the setlists of the week leading up to the festival? Maybe get some songs in the rotation as a little "practice" before the bi...

Yeah really. Not to sound all elitist, but radio is a poor man's ipod. I'm so thankful that I am blessed with being able to afford to listen to what I want, when I want, with no lengthy commercial interruptions. Radio sucks.

Where is Universal Pulse? Or does it not even make your list? I don't have UP up there because I refuse to acknowledge it as an album. It's only 29 minutes so I consider it EP. I like 6 or 7 of the songs but don't love any. If I absolutely had to put UP up there, it would be in between From Chaos a...

Tier 1 - Music, Grassroots, Blue, Transistor
Tier 2 - Soundsystem
Tier 3 - Stereolithic
Tier 4 - Evolver
Tier 5 - Uplifter
Tier 6 - From Chaos
Tier 7 - Don't Tread on Me

I've recently put Stereolithic up against Evolver, and Stereolithic won. Best 311 album of the century now!

To me there's many lyrics that say 311 is sorry for the last few albums and now they are back to their roots. For example : Simple True: Six long years and seven heartbreaks broken strings and countless outtakes, why? never thought that I would follow through got a working title somewhere and I kno...

Post From Chaos, that's funny to me. After loving Music through Soundsystem, I actually just assumed every 311 album would be totally awesome. On the night of the From Chaos release day, I called Shaker (my friend who introduced me to 311 back in '93) to see what he thought. He asked me first if I ...

It sounds like you've encountered a lot of animosity for Stereolithic among fans you know. I wouldn't be so quick to put the Chipotle guy in the category of late 90s fans who hate everything since because of the evolved style. He didn't say he hated the more recent releases, just that he was somewha...

I wore my Transistor shirt to Chipotle and the first worker in the line said cool shirt. Then there was a long delay in the line moving because the lady in front of me had a lot of orders, so the guy asked me if I still like the band and we talked about 311. He's a fan but hasn't gotten Stereolithic...

They're the safe for in store play versions of the albums Ooh, the "clean" versions. That's what it means by Studio Edited Tracks. Thanks for clarifying. In 99 I still didn't have CD in my car and found a Transistor cassette for only a couple bucks so I bought it. I didn't notice the lack...

May I ask why the Audio section has Grassroots and the Blue album available for download?

I don't love this song as others do. Not saying I don't enjoy it. But I keep going back to other songs before this one. The heavy reggae part is great though. The other day I accidentally played the actual album instead of my playlist of the album that removed Friday Afternoon. When it came on, I d...

http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/981918 I made this in case anyone else would like the font used on the Transistor album cover. I took liberty with the letters, of course, that don't appear on the cover. I spent a few hours today trying to find the exact font, to no avail. Some were close,...

I mean it's another throwback to an older demo or song. ie. rock 100, Go demo, etc. Someone posted it on fb. It's from the you wouldn't believe video shoot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiRXuNqdSHw That video was posted on YouTube by Chad Sexton himself Dec 22, 2012. The music audio for that vide...
