A Review of 311′s Music Album
311 is a band that had their fair share of ups and downs. When they started in the music scene, they have already experienced some troubles with regards to the band’s members and were even on the verge of destitution. But through it all, the band has remained dedicated to their music.
their albums will satisfy every type of music lover because the songs are alternative, funky, reggae, heavy metal, and even hip-hop. Because of their extensive tours in and out of the country, they were able to promote their songs well.
Music, their first album was released in 1993. Despite being released more than ten years ago, the album still attracts attention from music fans. The single Do You Right received good airplay. It reached the number 27 spot on the Billboard Modern Rock Charts. But despite this, the album failed to sell as much as it should be.
This is where one can be confused with identifying a successful song or album. Most of the times we only consider a song or record successful it does well in the charts or sells like pancakes. We also base an album’s success of its gold or platinum status or the number of nominations and awards it receive from award-giving bodies.
What we don’t realize is that success of a record is relative. A record doesn’t have to top the charts consistently to be called successful. Personally, success of a record has much to do if people think the content is good for listening. 311′s Music is very nice to listen to.
With this record, the band compiled all of their LPs. Some of the songs included in the album are Do You Right, Feels So Good, and Fat Chance. These three tracks have been widely popular because of their amazing quality. The album as a whole is a very good listening experience. These are also constantly played during the band’s shows.
When you listen to the album, you will notice a mix of relaxing tunes and upbeat, loud songs that will definitely make you groove and even bang your head a bit. Nix Hex can really make some great loud music. The songs album will definitely not disappoint. You don’t have to be the rock-type of person to appreciate what 311 has to offer. Their playlist will really impress you. The band was able to combine excellent tunes to great lyrics. Chad Sexton will leave you in awe with his percussion skills while Tim Mahoney plays his guitar like no one can. And of course, SA Martinez will groove you with his rhymes.
You can go for months with nothing on your CD players but Music. 311 was able to come out with a great sounding record and managed to captivate their hardcore fans. This just goes to show that you don’t really have to be the hottest thing in the industry right now. All you need is a team of talented musicians to come up with a great-sounding record.
