From Chaos by 311
From Chaos is an album by 311, released in 2001. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 87 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Amber”, on 49 lists with a best position of #2.
From Chaos, the sixth album from 311, came out on Volcano Entertainment on June 19, 2001, and it was the first they recorded in their own studio, The Hive in North Hollywood. Ron Saint Germain produced it, and Nick Hexum, P-Nut, Chad Sexton, Tim Mahoney and S.A. Martinez sound right at home: tight, sunny and heavy all at once, a genre-hopping mix of rap rock, reggae rock and alternative metal.
"You Wouldn't Believe" is a chunky, bouncing rap-rock anthem with a big sing-along lift; "I'll Be Here Awhile" is a laid-back, yearning strummer that floats on a breeze. But "Amber" is the one that stuck around, a mellow, swaying reggae-rock tune with a lazy, golden glow, the kind of tune that sounds like late afternoon at the beach.
All three were singles, and together they sum up the band's recipe: equal parts riff, groove and sunshine.
