Soundsystem

311

A high-fidelity collision of heavy distortion, laid-back reggae grooves, and rap-rock swagger. The ultimate soundtrack for summer heat and suburban rebellion.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, syncopated guitar crunch of 'Freeze Time' suddenly giving way to a spacey, dub-influenced bridge.
The seamless transition from aggressive rap verses to the soaring, melodic vocal harmonies in 'Come Original'.
The unexpected cover of Bad Brains' 'Leaving Babylon' which showcases the band's deep roots in authentic reggae.
