Man, what can say except this album stinks.
Sorry and all--it's not the sonics, but musically
speaking, there seems to be no variety here. Unlike their
1995 release titled 311, which had some great
variety and good licks, 311's new album seems too
monotonous for me. Admiringly, I love the cover art of
the new album, Transistor, which is a vacuum
tube! Unfortunately, the music on the vinyl leaves a bit
to be desired. If you like good progressive jams with a
reggae feel then I can highly recommend the previous
album. Unfortunately the same just can't be said about
the new album (unless you like repetition from song to
song). Just when I felt it was a sure thing to buy a 311
recording too :-{(+
