Grassroots, 311's second album, displays an improved sense of songwriting and melody, as well as a more confident rhythm section. They still sound heavily indebted to The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Faith No More, but the band is beginning to forge out their own identity on Grassroots.

everyone knows that 311 is an amazing band, and grassroots is one of their bests. There are a lot of curses on the regular version, so this is necessary. if for some reason you can't buy the regular version, invest in this. you won't be sorry.

311 has so much talent, it is almost unfair. They make other bands look like wanna-be musicians because they are so good. 311 was doing the hybrid style of rap and rock (and several other styles of music) before anyone else, in the late 80's. It's refreshing to have a band that promotes positivity and that is above all of the garbage that so many other bands seem content to wallow in.
