The unique sound this band crafted as kids never ceases to blow my mind. No doubt my favorite 311 of all time, even the B sides to this record slap. Highlights for me are Random, All Mixed Up, Purpose, Loco, and T&P Combo.

One of my favorite band of all time. But this will forever be the "they're gonna sell out" album in the back of my mind. Music and Grassroots were the soundtrack to my late teens and I loved that everybody didn't know who they were! Actually, this album would have been GREAT if it weren't for Transistor bringing up the rear and kicking its teeth in. Great album for a 311 Noob.

Rap rock is a terrible genre to begin with but 311 finds new lows throughout their albums, which are all uniformly horrid. I can understand being 15 and digging into this hapless blend, but to take it seriously past the sage of 20 is to be either nostalgic or deaf.

If you're into feel good music that can get you jumping at one moment then chills you out at the next - this ish is for you.

By far the very best of all 311 Albums!!!! I have listening to this band since grassroots first appeared back in 90,93 somewhere in between. This album was released in 94!!!! iTunes needs to fix it

There are brief flashes and fleeting songs that actually find me enjoying the tunes of 311. There's the occasional heavy guitar on this album that reminds me of Papa Roach. And there's also some summery vibes that don't make me want to rip my ears off. As usual with 311, though, there's too much rap and not enough summer. But it ends there. Especially with this early effort. Right off the bat it's clear that these guys are minimially talented and dramatically overrated amatures. They're a second rate ska/reggae band with a rap fantasy at their best. Don't give me the argument that all bands start off weaker than they end up, because i will agree that they do get better than this, but only a little. Through their whole career their big hook was "We're dirty skater teens, but hey our pants sag and have street cred too." Just about everything about this album is painful. I'm not a fan of their trance-like songs or their more rappy tunes. The rap songs are particularly horrible - especially the guys (not Hexum's, the other dude who's name isn't worth remembering) vocals. Even Hexum's vocals are weak. They bury them in the songs with louder music almost to cover up the fact that he can't sing very well. And those quiet and crappy vocals are singing lyrics that I can't ever seem to focus on. They just ramble aimlessly with seeming non-sequitors strung together. My ears just glaze over and, before i know it, the song ends and i have no idea what it was about. What little i do pay attention to comes off as painfully dumb and childish. The album is also of very poor quality. It all sounds live and impromptu and recorded with a handheld tape recorder. The stats are almost non-existent on this album. There's only one good song here in All Mixed Up, but even that is only a 3 star song. There's also two 2 star songs that are worth keeping. The rest are throwaways.

IMHO this is their best album ever. Period. Their sound and artistry is unmatched.

I lot of bands I like cite 311 as a major influence so I had to check them out and I loved this album. It's a little short but flows great. This is their best album.

My favorate 311 album and one of my favorate 90s alternative rock albums.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this in another review, but the album was released in 1995 not 1990. 'Kay thanks. Oh yeah buy it, it's good!
