About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

311, the eclectic musical quintet whose unique and hypnotic blend of reggae, funk, hard rock and hip-hop reached a world audience with the success of their self-titled 1995 album, return with Transistor, their fourth release for Capricorn Records and their most fully realized and ambitious recording yet. It's a heady blend of styles that makes the amalgam that is 311 work so wonderfully, and as guitarist-vocalist Nick Hexum has said, "Transistor is our way of saying that all living things are connected, that we are all conductors of electricity -- that we're all part of the same massive energy source and in this way, we're all equal." Tracks like the mesmerizing dub cut of "Inner Light Spectrum," the funk of "No Control," the hip-hop flavor of "The Continuous Life" and almost brutal soundscape of "What Was I Thinking?" (complete with walkie-talkie vocal sounds) showcase the band's love for diverse musical styles and their ability to blend them together into something new, fresh and compelling. Out of respect for their fan base, the group manages to cram all 21 songs onto one compact disc, saving their mavens a little loose change left over for T-shirts, stickers and posters, all advertised on the inside.

August 21, 2007: ...i'll admit that the first time i heard this album, i wasn't too pumped about it. i was stuck on "soundsystem" instead. DO NOT LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU. after a few more listens, i liked it more. a few months later, i loved it. then i realized that this album, like incubus's "make yourself", is absolutely flawless. the lyrics are mind-blowing and the vocals are the best that sa and hexum have ever done. instrumentally, this album is genius work. each song is unique and fills a memorable space in the album. there is no way you can confuse songs on "transistor" because that's how diverse they are from each other. but at the same time, you still receive mood from the album. definitely better than "soundsystem".

August 11, 2002: This is a very great CD, lyrical masterpeices like ''running'' to instrumental stars like ''What was I thinking''. When I first listened to this CD, I was amazed at how much 311 had improved off of the self titled one. This CD also holds my favorite 311 song: ''Stealing Happy Hours''. This is a great album and I think its the best 311 album.
