311 - Transistor

311 has built a reputation as a rock-reggae band with an edge. Transistor was released in 1997, a collection of 21 songs which debuted on the Billboard Charts at #4.

Trivia

311's name is based on an Omaha area police code for indecent exposure and relates to a long ago episode involving a midnight swim in a public pool without regulation swim garb.

My View

311 has put out an excellent album. There are many songs of different styles, and the feel is consistant with their reggae influence. The only fault is with so many songs, they should not have so many long intros. But otherwise, this is a good album.

The Rating

Buy this album is you like reggae, or are looking for a different rock sound.
