Notes on the universal pulse by 311

I wasn't to thrilled to review this album since it isn't indie and it hardly screams unique and new. I also don't like the rap style lyrics, but this album is a new classic for 311 and it'll be in the top albums along with 311 (the blue album) and from chaos.

1. Time bomb: well its got the trademark 311 sound, and the best sounds in awhile maybe since 311.
2. Wild nights: heavy but its got the DJ sounds and crap. Its got the usual mellow vocals.
3. Sunset in July: starts off slow but its got rhythm when the drums kick off.
4. Trouble: nice bassy sound, usual flaring guitar then a nice ska sounding 2nd guitar.
5. Count me in: I'm not impressed. They said "killer no filler" on Facebook but this song is a filler.
6. Rock on: typical song name. The rappy lyrics suggests the opposite.
7. Weightless: I actually like this song. Nice intro, cool guitars, great bass, and good drums.
8. And a ways to go: slow, not that good. The only slow song that has hit success is amber and this song is no amber.

I don't like it. I recommend to people who listen to sublime, sublime with Rome, incubus, and flobots. With that I give you a new release reviewed! I love the album art though.

  2. Look I know it doesn't make sense to someone who posts about news but I review music and ask for help from fans I'm not a 311,fan so I asked one of my friends to help (that's where the first parts from) and I stated that yeah sure its a classic but I don't like it. Is it a crime to state my opinion or are you offended because your a diehard 311 fan? I'm not saying that this band sucks but I am stating that I dont like the album

  3. No, I don't think it's a crime or anything, I just found it confusing since the article is written from a singular perspective. If the first part was in quotes with an attribution beneath it and the second was written as is, that would have been easier to understand.

    I'm not upset, though I am a big fan of 311. I just thought you were contradicting yourself.
