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.

The band released their first album in 1993. Even though Music was released more than a decade ago, it still commands attention because of its quality. It’s single Do You Right got decent airplay and even reached the 27th spot on the Billboard Modern Rock Charts, though it did not propel the album to sell as much as it should.

This is where one can be confused with identifying a successful song, or album for that matter. Usually, we only say a song or record is successful when it is topping the charts and selling like pancakes. When an album reaches a gold or platinum status, then it is considered a success, or when the record brings nods and recognition from different award giving bodies.

What we don’t realize is that success of a record is relative. A record doesn’t have to top the charts consistently to be called successful. Personally, success of a record has much to do if people think the content is good for listening. 311′s Music is very nice to listen to.

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.
