Music Nibbs

For me to go ahead and say that I will be writing a review of 311's latest installment with out bias I would be obviously lying. 311 is a band that I have followed and loved since the release of their self titled album 311 (or the blue album) way back in 1995. This is a band that has evolved from the funky hip-hop fused punk rock style that they brought to the music scene starting in 1993 with their first LP - Music. They have mellowed out and really focused on their reggae influences especially on their previous two albums, Don't Tread On Me and Evolver. However, as a long time fan it is very exciting to hear a fresh crisp sound from the Omahaian band with a large dose of their original sound that makes Uplifter indeed a huge success in my mind.
