311's 1st album is a compilation of all their earlier LP's with other material. Any 311 fan will tell you this is must have because of famous songs such as Do You Right, Feels So Good, and Fat Chance (F!@k The Bulls#$t). These songs are traditionally played at their amazing concerts and usually bring the house down. This album blends relaxing tunes such as Nix Hex with some loud songs that get you pumped up like Feels So Good. This is a musically rich album with a lot of melodies. A necessity of anyone who likes 311 or rap-rock or almost any type of music. Chad Sexton on percussion is incredible to listen to for those who play the drums or to the casual listener. P-nut's bass skills are nearly unmatched in the music business. Tim Mahoney wails out some great melodies on guitar while leadman Nick Hexum and Singer/DJ SA Martinez bust out the rhymes. Unreal album, you will not regret by this album after the 3rd straight month it's in your cd player.

All 311 CDs, simply put, are amazing. You could listen to each one over and over for months at a time (I usually do). Chad Sexton is one of the all time best drummers ever (His live solos kickass), P-Nut is a highly skilled bass player (I'd say he's better than Flea...), and Tim Mahoney's playing is incredible (Especially the solos). A definate must have for any 311 fan.

311's debut album is an infectious mix of funk-metal and hip-hop. While the band fails to come up with a consistently solid batch of songs, their raw energy makes up for the lack of strong songwriting.

there s just something about that 'paradise' song that I just have to keep playing it over and over again.
