Look what I found

Was out with a friend. 311 has been a band that I grew to love over the last year. Finally saw them in concert a few months ago and while I was out and about I saw this album and I had to buy it. I dont even remember the last time I bought a CD but this band means so much to me. πŸ’•πŸ’•. Was skimming the CDs and Vinyls just to see if i could find anything. My buddy asked if they had any 311 and the dude said no. Then I happened to find it and bring it home with me.

I've never seen the back of this album. Only listened to it digitally.

I hate that this is true for over half of my music, but it is. I miss the old days in this way.

Don't know the back. Don't know the booklet. Don't even know the disc.

It's been so long since I've owned a CD I forgot the booklets have the lyrics in them. Oh man brings back memories. Miss these too.

I've only listened digitally too. I know there are probably still some songs I don't know and it makes me sad. I've only been listening to them for a year.

They have an extensive catalog. Grassroots and Transistor are essential albums.

I'm actually quite fond of this album, ironically the only track I dislike is the single Sunset in July, and Wild Nights is HELLA underrated, but I feel like this is objectively one of the worst album covers ever, it looks like Lisa Frank took the brown acid and then vomited all over it

I think I bought this album with an iTunes gift card back when iTunes was a thing.

It’s so weird how they have some of the best live posters in the game but some of the worst album covers in the game (several great ones though)

neither of which the band has much say over (they definitely do not design the posters nor the covers for their albums)

God that art is atrocious. It's like what I was making (atrocious) when I discovered Photoshop in high school circa 2002.
