Five of Everything

[Tehshewz]

I love the guitar riffs.
Nicks mono tone raps and SAs rap are straight out of From Chaos.
The harmonization is on point.
CHADS MOTHER FUCKING SNARE.

I am on my 10th in a row play through and i cannot say one bad thing.

Its god my head nodding.

[Jordan311]

I am loving it. Great blend of old an new. perfect first single. Can't wait to hear the other 14 (!) songs

I would joke about the phone call mention... but I don't want to detract from this at all. I am totally on board. Sounds great. Darker-sadder tone to the music without being bleak and finally some vocals and music that match. SA's rap recalls Borders but sounding more sincere. Nothing sounds goofy/cheeseball. Reminds me of sun come through without the cringe moments. Thank you black jesus. FUCK YES!

P.S. Nick is going to struggle on those high notes live so sing along. =)

[Freeze Time]

It's fair to say it's been a long time since a three eleven song has blown me away this much. They've taken chances finally. It's super creative. I love it.
I think this album is going to be really creative and experimental I'm psyched!

[tred311]

I can't stop listening to it. It seems that they are finally back on the right track. Just doing what they've always done best. Can't wait for the album. Wow!

Lyrics:

FIVE OF EVERYTHING
No matter what I try there’s no room in my mind
No way to go round that, that’s just the way it is must I remind
I don’t pick up the phone but you still try to call
There’s nothing left to say you’ve already gotta know we’ve said it all

The story never ends, in search of something
But once we arrive it all starts again
Reaching for higher ground, the river’s rising
It keeps on flowing forever no matter what we have found

Sometimes it seems insane
To just keep pressing on
As if it will put out the flame
But still the thirst remains
Drink another drink
And somehow I still feel the same

Step off, head out, take flight, and just run
Got five of everything but I just need one
My brain telling me what I want, I need
Got five of everything but I still proceed

Help me fill up this hole
It’s gaping and out of control
It feels like I’m losing touch and it’s taking it’s toll
When this wall isn’t moving
State of things not improving
And no satisfaction in the distraction of the day

Sometimes it seems insane
To just keep pressing on
As if it will put out the flame
But still the thirst remains
Drink another drink
And somehow I still feel the same

Step off, head out, take flight, and just run
Got five of everything but I just need one
My brain telling me what I want, I need
Got five of everything but I still proceed

Living in this culture can be a drag
It’s just a commercial what we have
A one track mind we grab, grab, grab
We’re past being crazy, call us mad
Gone is the golden egg and the goose
And the bullshit of all hell breaking loose
We gotta hit the boost
Sip on the thick juice
Disregard the bad cards
And wake the truth

Step off, head out, take flight, and just run
Got five of everything but I just need one
My brain telling me what I want, I need
Got five of everything but I still proceed

The story never ends, in search of something
But once we arrive it all starts again
Reaching for higher ground, the river’s rising
It keeps on flowing forever

Sweet thanks for those.

The lyrics are pretty damn good actually. I love the bass during SA's rap. Really good mix.

I had pretty low expectations but this definitely gets me wayyy more excited about the album. And it's nice to see everyone else (for the most part) digging it too.

Yeah!

Also after listening to it at least 50 times in a row last night.

The lyrics from a new 311 song.....actually fit the song and don't kill it.

[fatlip]

i think i've listened to this about 200 times already. i said this on fb and i'll say it here too: their age and music finally match each other. i've been waiting for this.

and seriously, dat chorus doe

[pnutwannabe]

Well I like it more than I did yesterday, but it's still just alright to me. It's better than what has been on the past few albums.

weren't you hating on 311 recently on FB? I think it was when they released the tracklist or the cover art. can't remember..

[tred311]

What up Ska! I do a lot more reading than posting. I'm stoked that most here are digging this new track. Feels good to see the true fans honestly really enjoying a new song vs. struggling to like it solely because it's 311. Most of the time its just shit talking and band bashing...and honestly some of the trash talk is unfortunately spot on. It's been a LONG time since I've been this excited for new 311. This song gives us all a ton of hope for the album I think. Good stuff!

[FrixHex311]

after a few times through I feel like this has a From Chaos feel to it. The chorus is the best part to me musically and lyrically and I havent been able to say that about that a 311 single in a long time. The whole feel of the song has me so excited for this album. This is better than anything since Evolver.

nope. i just said the tracklist tells us nothing

[Shiny]

single is fucking awesome

[Shiny]

nick and SA's harmonies are mixed better here than anything i can think of since Evolver.

that "Step off, head out, take flight, and just run..." Nick part is great... I love the empty spaces between each line. it's tense.

[Rich]

Cool song, this is going to be their best album since Evolver!

I really like when SA joins Nick for the "step off..." last chorus.They are perfectly in sync/harmony.

hell yeah! the harmonies at the end are awesome.


Did I mention PNUTs sick little bass slap during SA's rap?

What says assblaster I wonder.

[CULTI-VADER]

really enjoying the new single! scotch ralston better do every f'n album from now on. just has that 311 feel to it that i don't think bob rock could reproduce. hopefully i don't eat my words with the rest of the album but i am feeling good so far

[Alvarez311]

Yeah, totally dig the track...with there were more added effects like in Blue, Transistor and Soundsystem....they did the whole 'completely Live sound' like 3 albums in a row....and honestly, I like the more effects added in there......but it's still pretty solid....I dig it...good flow, good harmony...style....classic 311.....
