If you think Uplifter is better than Universal Pulse

[Jordan311]

Then you're a complete retard.

I tried listening to Uplifter today, and I couldn't even get halfway through the first track without putting some other 311 on. After hearing UP, Uplifter just sounds really weak and forced. Maybe my feelings about UP will change in a year or two once all whopping 8 tracks of it get old to me, but as many others have said, UP was definitely a step in the right direction. If only 8 tracks means we don't have to have filler songs like "Hey You", "It's Alright", "Daisy Cutter", and "My Heart Sings" to sift through then I say keep the short albums coming.

i felt like the best songs on Uplifter were better than the best songs on Universal Pulse and that's how i judged it in my head cause i dont give a fuck but i'm just one nigga

[BigWiLLy311]

i dont give a fuck but i'm just one nigga

I think we can all relate to that.

Call me strange, but am I one of the few people who actually enjoys Uplifter?

There are a few songs I can do without, but I still know the lyrics to the entire album. As I have stated in other threads, I am not critical of every song and I just try and enjoy my favorite band's music.

the only two songs i skip on uplifter are hey you and daisy cutter

[CoconutBackwards]

I thought "It's Alright" and "Daisy Cutter" were two of the better songs on Uplifter.

I usually skip "Mix it Up" and "Something Out of Nothing"

On Uplifter I liked:

India Ink
Too Much Too Fast
Jackpot
Get Down

On Universal Pulse I liked:

Sunset in July
Rock On (sort of)

"Something Out of Nothing" has a good solo section and a catchy chorus IMHO.

I agree about "Mix it Up", though. The lyrics in that song are pretty rough.

I could never stand "India Ink" either. "Too Much Too Fast" though? I love that song!

the problem with uplifter is the horrible choruses. there are so many "good" parts and then nick starts singing and the song is fucked. like never ending summer, one of the heaviest solo's by tim in a shitty ass song. the songs on UP don't really do that to me.

I think two of the worst 10 311 songs ever made are on Universal Pulse, but overall it is a better record than Uplifter. The only problem is it's too god damn short, and not nearly as good as much of their older stuff. So it's pointless, in my opinion, to even compare. It's like going into your closet, grabbing the two worst shirts you own, and asking which one you should wear that day.

In my opinion.




Now that Universal Pulse has been released it would be interesting to see what people would come up with if they took the best songs from Evolver, DTOM, Uplifter, and Universal Pulse (43 songs to choose from, officially) to make one solid album.

Give me the two songs on UP that are on the Top Ten Worst List, please.

Count Me In and Weightless.

(I'm not interested in a musicianship debate, I'm not a musician, I just dislike these two songs more than most)

Whiskey & Wine (but mixed like it was in the 'demo 3' version)
India Ink
Jackpot
Too Much Too Fast
Get Down

now someone else put this in order

[antism]

1. Creatures (For A While)
2. India Ink
3. Getting Through To Her
4. Jackpot
5. Still Dreaming
6. Don't Tread On Me
7. Sometimes Jacks Rule
8 Beyond The Gray Sky
9. It's Alright
10. And A Ways To Go
11. Rock On
12. Golden Sunlight

Edited and slightly rearranged. Works well as far as transitions. Still Dreaming was the key to bringing the album together. It's not the greatest song, but it's B+ filler that breaks up the album fairly well in terms of heavy/poppy. Rock On was added toward the end for juxtaposition with AAWTG and GS. GS' chorus is too epic not to be used as a closer.
