Title: A Nice Combination of All Of Their Albums
Product review: 311 has made their best album yet with "Soundsystem". It is a nice mixture of their trademark sound with a few surprises. For example, "Life's Not A Race" is the best ape of Santana, musically, I have ever heard, it's a dead ringer for something Santana would have done in the early 70's. "Livin' And Rockin'" begins with this trip-hop beat and evolves into a hardcore slam that doesn't let up. "Evolution", though lyrically kind of silly, musically is a little of everything. The lyrics, of course, are the area of 311's recipe that don't hold up to the rest, but that's a minor complaint, the music speaks for itself. Guitars that both rock and have soul, funk bass riffs, scratches, fast vocalizing, a hypnotic beat. It all comes together so very nicely on "Soundsystem".
