------ About the song Other Side Of Things performed by 311
Great song, nicks part in the middle is fantastic, he's talking about how people in our society don't thinkfor themselves any more and look to the different forms of media and people to get their opinions. And it's actually "IN college....". I especially like the it's time to take your medicine part!
And the person above me is 100% right, being down is only in your head so STAY POSITIVE AND LOVE YOUR LIFE!

------ About artist/band 311
I don't know what rock I've been under for the last 10+ years but a friend recently introduced me to 311 and I'm in love. Rock is typically not my first choice of music, but I'm diggin' their style!
One of the Best Albums of all time | Reviewer: Allentria Harvey
------ About the album Transistor performed by 311
This is by far, hands down one of the best albums by 311. If you are a 311 fan you will love this one. It has alot of really amazing original transcendant songs that will take you there. This Album solidifies for me them being the best Album of all time. With the reggae influence and the Hard rock influence their music brings my mind to where i could never imagine music could go. They got pretty deep too! If there were a rating system this Album would be 5 stars!!!
311 is an iconic band this just adds to there rule. They may take stuff from other bands but, to me that just shows there musical knowelege and ability. One of the best bands to hit the stage 311.
our song | Reviewer: Heather
------ About the song Amber performed by 311

------ About the song Love Song performed by 311
But a great song regardless. Don't get me wrong I love The Cure, but 311 put a great twist on the song, with different music, it sound more carefree and romantic. This is the song my fiance and I will be dancing to as man and wife for the first time when we wed next October.

------ About the song Amber performed by 311
This is mine and my boyfriend's song. He introduced me to the good 311 stuff, note just "Down" and crap. This song fits us so perfectly, it's about finding that balance between two people, and he does love my energy!
maybe michael roe inspired them you idiot... maybe it's their little ode to him and that song, maybe it changed their lives. i hope you read this three years later and feel like a moron.
311 - Other Side of Things | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Other Side of Things performed by 311
This song by 311 tells of our current condition as a society. It describes how our mentality these days is largely emotional and reliant on the TV and other forms of cultural heresy over the natural way of things (aka over the truth).
Another 311 song backed by intellectual prowess. Great to listen to if you're feeling a bit "blue" because it reminds us that being down is only in our minds.

I totally agree. Nick rocks this song. (Its one of those songs, though, that needs to grow on you. :) ) But hey, Soundsystem is one of my favorite 311 albums, even without this song. :)

If i'm having a bad day, great day, i'll always listen to three eleven no matter what every song always makes my day so much better. Really what the band needs is a spot on the radio no matter where you are, if you turn the station to 311.0 you get the 311 station lol that would be the shit!!

Like a bomb of freshness, 311 has enchanted the hearts and minds of classy individuals across the globe. Soundsystem is NO exception, with 13 tracks that romp and stomp, one cannot judge the greatness of just one song.

Great song. And yes, this is a cover of the Cure's song by the same name. They recorded it for the soundtrack of the Adam Sandler movie 50 First Dates a few years back. It also appeared later on their greatest hits cd. 311 OWNS!!!!!!
