311 - 311 [2LP Blue Smoke]

311’s self-titled third album gets a big, bold glow-up for its 30th anniversary, now on gorgeous blue smoke vinyl.

Originally released in 1995, this record cemented the band’s signature blend of rock, reggae, funk, and hip-hop into an unstoppable summer soundtrack. And with a pearlescent cover plus seven bonus tracks, this edition is both a collector’s dream and a reason to crank the volume way up.

From the laid-back groove of “Amber” (yes, the one stuck in your head for weeks) to the raucous, high-energy punch of “Down,” the album flows like an endless wave of sun-soaked good vibes. Tracks like “All Mixed Up” and “Don’t Stay Home” still pack the same infectious hooks that had fans blasting them from car stereos in the mid-90s.

The added bonus cuts give long-time fans something fresh to explore, showing the depth of the band’s early creative streak. This is not just a nostalgia trip - it’s a reminder of how 311’s genre-blurring style helped define an era.

Whether you’re reliving your high school skate days or discovering the magic for the first time, this 2LP anniversary pressing is the way to experience 311. Blue smoke never sounded so good.
