Well..here we are again. 311 has blessed us with yet another release of their brand of distorted guitar alternative rock genius. Does that even make sense? I don’ think it really matters. The boys from the Midwest have been soothing the ears of music lovers for well over a decade, and you know what? They still got it.
Universal Pulse takes the listener back on a grassroots time machine. Songs like “Time Bomb” and “Trouble” sound like tracks you would have found on their self titled album some 16 years ago. Yes, I said 16. Now, I said it before, and I’ll say it again. They. Still. Got. It.
The album was produced by the well known Bob Rock, who has produced albums for other rock greats such as Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Metallica. An interesting note about the album is that all instrumental recordings were done at the same location, whereas on their previous albums the drums had been recorded at an alternate studio.
The band that’s been together for over two decades, and that changed the face of music in the 90′s hasn’t lost a step and proves it with Universal Pulse; which also happens to be their shortest album to date. But don’t let that discourage you. This album has been on repeat for the last 48 hours. Here’s the official animated video of the song “Trouble”.
