Despite going through some tough times before they entered the music scene, 311 has managed to keep their heads focused on creating good music. Despite having troubles with their band line up and their struggle against poverty, they were able to see through and come out with great music.
All of their eight albums ranged from alternative to rap to funk to reggae to heavy metal. The success of their albums can be highly attributed to their extensive touring all over the US and other countries to promote their songs.
Their first album, Music, was released in 1993. Despite being released more than a decade ago, it can still command attention from fans all over. Its single Do You Right received fair airplay and reached number 27 on the Billboard Modern Rock Charts. But despite this, the album did not do very well when it comes to sales.
This is where one can be confused with identifying a successful song or album. Most of the times we only consider a song or record successful it does well in the charts or sells like pancakes. We also base an album's success of its gold or platinum status or the number of nominations and awards it receive from award-giving bodies.
What you need to know is that a record's success is relative. A song doesn't have to rule the charts before it can be considered successful. Personally, the success of a record is dependent on how good the songs are. 311's Music is an example.
This album is a compilation of all their earlier LPs. Songs in this album such as Do You Right, Feels So Good, and Fat Chance have been widely popular. These songs are amazing, and so is the album as a whole. These songs are played widely in the band's shows and almost always bring the house down.
When you listen to the album, you will notice a mix of relaxing tunes and upbeat, loud songs, the kind that will make you want to get up and groove to the music. The album's songs clearly don't disappoint. The band was able to successfully mix different tunes that will appeal even to non-rock fans. Nick Hexum, Tim Mahoney, Chad Sexton, and SA Martinez were great in their respective roles. Their combined efforts gave way to the birth of a very great-sounding record that will surely appeal to all fans and music lovers.
Insert 311's Music in your CD players and don't take it out. You can listen to it for months without getting tired of it. That is how great the CD is. This proves that a record doesn't have to be the hottest thing in the music scene to be considered a success. With the right team of talented musicians, you can.
