Title: soundsystem is pretty good eatin' for the starved 311 fan
Product review: I admit, I first got into 311 in '96, but I've really gotten into music and grassroots since then. I was disappointed by transistor...a handful of the songs are good, but on the whole, it was too simplistic and (dare I say it), maudlin. Well, I was really refreshed and geeked to hear the new Soundsystem tracks. I really love tracks 1-7...the true 311 spirit really comes through on them. I especially loved Large in the Margin...and songs 4 and 5 too. A couple tracks are a little questionable, but all in all, I'd say 311 has taken it to the next level! My only prayer is that they don't release any more songs off this album -- they still need to complete their penance after Transistor, and seeing them get even more popular would be detrimental to that. Anyways, enough with my criticism: on the whole, 311 is great, and Soundsystem is a worthy album! :-)
