woah, i forgot how bad come original is
"Black Eyed Peas, they comin' full range and NOFX, they comin' full range and Roni Size, he's comin' full range The one Mr. Vegas, you know it ain't easy, hah"
That verse aged extremely poorly, Roni Size was cool but NOFX are currently kicked off their own tour and festival for making fun of shooting victims in Las Vegas and Black Eyed Peas, well they were a joke as soon as they went mainstream.
Soundsystem is actually the only 90's 311 album I've never heard in full, Come Original is by far their worst song of probably their career up to that point, but the other 2 singles from that album are good. Flowing and Large in the Margin. I like those.
I enjoyed this passage from the Wiki entry on 311's "Transistor" album:
Quote:
Transistor received a mixed review from Allmusic. Allmusic comments "A project of this magnitude is almost doomed to fall on its face, and Transistor nearly does." and notes that there's enough good songs for a 30 to 40 minute album, but has too much filler. They nominated the song "Transistor" as the only Track Pick from the album.[1] The album has received criticism from The A.V. Club, who says "With 21 songs spread out over 68 minutes, the record has taken plenty of critical punishment for its excessive length alone." and calls it a "joyless, tedious exercise in white-boy reggae, white-boy rap, white-boy dub and white-boy rock.", concluding that the band could suffer a Spin Doctors-style career combustion in the future.[2] Entertainment Weekly also panned the album, stating that the album features "some of the weakest rhymes and derivative white-bread dub in recent memory" and concludes that they don't know "the thin line between experimentation and self-indulgence".[4] Rolling Stone criticized the album, saying it is "trying too hard to expand their sonic horizons" and comments how they seem to unwillingly change their musical style.[3]
In contrast, the album was retrospectively received positive by Consequence of Sound, comparing it to The Beatles' album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

To my surprise, I got a Google Music notification that Creed had a new song out called "Derman Yok". Turns out it's by a Turkish rapper also named Creed. Confused as to why I was notified either way.
