Free Music Notes for Grassroots

Free Music Review: The definitive 311 album!
Hit: 5 Stars

The Blue Album and From Chaos may have been the two most commercial 311 albums, but for the ravenous fans from 311's underground days, Grassroots was, is, and always will be the ultimate 311 experience. The songwriting and musicianship on this record are already a huge step up from the previous album Music, and nearly every single track is a 311 classic! This is the one where their sound really came together, and every song on the album is included in their live set to this day, (which can't be said about any other album they made). Includes:

Homebrew: 311 classic about tripping on acid on July 4th 10/10
Lucky: The weakest track on the disc in my opinion, still has some nice grooves though 5/10
Nutsyptom: Heavy grooves with great rap, leads into a nice bass/guitar jam 9/10
8:16 AM: Nice jazzy laid back tune, adds a lot of diversity to the record 10/10
Omaha Stylee: Quintessential 311 song, great tune 8/10
Applied Science: Performed at every 311 show due to the drum solo, and some very nice riffs as well 9/10
Taiyed: Very short tune, nothing special but not too hard on the ears 7/10
Silver: Perhaps the heaviest tune on the disc, not bad at all/ 8/10
Grassroots: Title track, stating 311 has grassroots 8/10
Lose: Very slow chill out kind of tune , very nice break from the heaviness 9/10
Salsa: Good rock/reggae transitions on this tune. Lyrics are pretty funny, I like it a lot 9/10
Six: Almost my favorite, the middle section really shows just how great 311 really is 10/10
Offbeat Bareass: My favorite tune on the disc. Amazing grooves, beats, rap, this is what 311 is all about 10/10
123: Very chill trippy closer. Great end to a great record 10/10

This is still one of the best offerings to date from this incredible band. I recommend all their albums, but this one captures their essence the best. Enjoy!

Grassroots Poster

Starting where Holland's Urban Dance Squad left off--thrash rock coupled with hip-hop beats, rapping, and Jamaican-style toasting--311 found their own voice on 1994's Grassroots. Here they prove to be an estimable groove machine on cuts such as "Applied Science" and "Omaha Stylee," blending turntable moves and ska rhythms like a kinder, gentler Fishbone. Avowed stoners, they dip into noodly Grateful Dead territory on the jammy "Taiyed," touch on Meters-style funk in the sleek "Grassroots," and echo the Bad Brains on the rasta-metal mosh "Salsa." Their dub-rock lexicon is spoken by the likes of Sublime, Limp Bizkit, and Sugar Ray--players in a rock genre of which Grassroots is a modern classic. --James Rotondi
