311 by 311
311 is an album by 311, released in 1995. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 148 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Down”, on 71 lists and voted number one twice.
311, the band's third album and the one named after themselves, came out on Capricorn Records on July 11, 1995, following Grassroots. Ron Saint Germain produced, and he gave them a big, punchy alternative rock sound without smoothing out the bounce.
The lineup of Nick Hexum, P-Nut, Chad Sexton, Tim Mahoney and S.A. Martinez plays like a crew that's spent years on the same stages: tight, springy grooves and crunching guitars. "Don't Stay Home" kicks hard, "All Mixed Up" floats in on a laid-back lope, and "Down" slams its shout-along chorus home like a fist on a table.
Those three singles carried it to triple platinum, more than three million copies sold, and set the stage for Transistor.
