Who. Has got. The herrrrrrb.
Band says new album is called Uplifter, due later in the spring, no word on what the single is yet, but it's coming. I am so so excited. This sounds like exactly the kind of mellow, feel good album the world needs right now. Or at least I do.

I thought I remembered a thread but the search wouldn't let me search for 311 cause it's only three numbers, so I decided to just risk it. Remembering that thread, maybe it was worth the risk.

My favorite by them by far is "Amber"
I hope they can make another track like that :)

The difference is that a song is coming. Relatively soon. And I'll be fucking damned if I let you make the thread about it.

Before this is closed, I'll say from the other 311 pages, that Beautiful Disaster is a great song to play.

Is Artie deleting posts BEFORE they're quoted now? Or is penance talking to himself?

I always talk to myself because usually I'm the only one capable of holding a conversation. But not in this scenario. Artie is trying to keep his posts down to show his mad love for the fat blunts.

The great thing is that if we keep responding to him, he'll eventually just wipe himself from existence.

Hands down, I am looking more forward to this album more than any other this year (yes even more than NFG and P. Roach which I'm also beyond psyched for). There are no other words I can describe 311 other than "FREAKING AMAZING!." I'm really hoping they go back to their old roots with this new album. I mean early 90s shit from "Music" & "Grassroots," which is some of the absolute best music I've ever heard, but I probably shouldn't expect it. Either way, I'm totally stoked for whatever they put out :)

See, I never really got into them, and I have tried. I do have a handful of songs on my iPod from them though.

I'm kind of a fairweather of the group. I won't deny that I find their songs great but both studio albums that I own (blue and Soundsystem) aren't really highly played. I've listed to the latter more often and think it's great but it could have had a shorter ending.
I've got the hits collection too, and enjoy a few songs not included in that context.

"Hey, you." "What?" "We've got a new album on June 2nd." "Cool." "Hey, you." "WHAAAAT?" "We've got a new single on April 14th too." "Okay." "Hey, you." "AAGGGH!" "Guess what it's called?" "WHAT?!" "Hey, you."

The first thing I thought when seeing the title was that song from The Clarks. I wonder if I'm the only one here who remembers that song from eh about six or so years ago.

I don't know if this really is a factor or not, but I noticed that this is being sent to Active Rock too besides Alternative. It makes me wonder because no song has ever gone higher than #19 on that format, which was "Down" back in 1996. The only other singles to reach the Top 50 apparently on there were "Transistor" at #31, "Come Original" at #39, and "You Wouldn't Believe" at #32. My thinking is if no single since 2001 has done anything there, does that mean this may possibly be a harder 311 song or what?

You know what's weird. "Beyond The Grey Sky" and "Speak Easy" have gone for adds at Active too, which I find strange since their singles prior would've been the ones to possibly chart on Active, not those two. So I guess my point is nothing is clear.
