Details: Amazon.caRazor-sharp guitars, hip-hop and funk rhythms, and healthy doses of ska and dance-hall reggae make this one of the most surprising albums to come out of the American heartland. But what’s most remarkable about 311’s breakthrough release is its enlightened attitude: In an otherwise terminally aggro style of music, where everyone strives to be harder than each other, 311 put down deadly weaponry on « Guns (Are for Pussies). » « Hive, » meanwhile, disses hard drug use (but they’re pro-hemp, of course), and « Misdirected Hostility » encourages, of all things, positivity (« All that angst sh*t is just cheesy »). Vocalist Nick Hexum and rapper Doug « S.A. » Martinez trade lines with ease, and the band dexterously shifts gears between heavy tracks like « Down » and « Brodels, » the frantic « Jackolantern’s Weather, » and the laid-back « All Mixed Up » and « Sweet. » –Daniel DurchholzProduct description311 ~ 311
