video for the song<\/a>, which I’ve never seen until just now.<\/p>\n311 is one of those bands that you almost hate to admit to liking.\u00a0 Their lyrics are simplistic and goofy.\u00a0 Also, it’s Rap Metal.\u00a0 So many bands just fuck that particular mix right up.\u00a0 I’ve only got 3 of their albums, but I love them all.\u00a0 They’re definitely on my list-of-bands-to-get-all-their-albums.\u00a0 But that’s expensive.\u00a0 I’ve got a ton of music in my CD collection that I need to digify and get onto my newfangled iPod music playing device.<\/p>\n

This song has some unconventional elements, like a different kind of rhythm structure and an odd use of vocal melodies.\u00a0 But it’s a great little tune.\u00a0 These guys were on a total Reggae kick when they made the “Transistor” album in 1997.\u00a0 I’ve seen that complained about in reviews, but I think the sound suits them.\u00a0 I’ve also seen it written that the producer was more to blame\/credit for this album’s sound than the band.\u00a0 Big deal.\u00a0 It’s a great record.<\/p>\n
