I have been listening to 311 for a long time. I have seen them live twice. They really are amazing. But I found evolver and from chaos to be lacking. And bought this record with low expectations. 311 has said they presonally are not that happy with this record because it was rushed. At first I was thinking if this record was going to be a dud but after listening to it I loved it. The track frolic room is amazing it has a great beat an Nick sounds great. SA also has a little more time singing on a few tracks. SA gained my respect when I saw him live so give the tracks Whisky & wine and getting through to her a listen to. Soalr flare is a good track about politics and one of the best song's on the record it does not sound much like electricty but reminds me of that song for some reason. Thank your lucky stars is a track that shows 311 is still about positivity. This album is the best one they have put out since Sondsystem.
