i thinks it more mellow....311 was driven by a mixture of hard rock punk, ska, reggae, hip hop, this sounds more poppy and mellow.....and why would u be disappointed in old timers like nick hexum who is around for 20 plus years...nick hexum already did what he had to do.

Nick has always been an amazing writter

He is playing in Hollywood tonight. This should be fun. I am forward to seeing the first show.

Nick's the man...literally!

I'm a fan from way back. '90. I think all of us knew this day would come. However, imagine these songs powered by the rest of the band. Surely I'm not the only one to think this.

Liking this. Nice evolution of Nicks sound.

just fantastic!

Still chill. Still a great song.

I first heard 311 when I was about 13 and I hated it. My cousin played me the Grassroots album and I thought it sucked. After a couple of years I decided to give them another listen (particularly when Transistor came out) and fell completely in love with them. I can honestly say as a musician and fan that I love everything they put out. Even their bad stuff (UPLIFTER) is still fuckin' brilliant. This album hasn't even come out yet and there is a place on my shelf for it. Rock on Nick.

Just enjoy the music everyone. If it is not pleasing to your ears then find another song. All the negativity in this world is so disappointing. I find this album very chill and fun to sing along with. Very few things bring a smile to my face these days. This album makes me smile.

Awesome!

Good to see him doing his own stuff. SA has a side project with Ghostwolf. So good for nick for doing a side project of his own too.

this is chill...

Nick Hexums love for music always shines thru... I can feel it. He is one happy man, and there's not too many of those left in this world.

go on tour!

Must state: people are never satisfied. Take Chris Cornell, did an album called 'Scream' and everyone calls him a sellout, for stepping out of the rock box and being innovative with his sound. And here, people are saying this is just like 311. If he would've done something way different, people would be saying he needs to go back to his 311 stuff. Can't win!!

How the hell does this guy find the time to write so many damn songs? I mean... 311's got a new album out every few years and they play live so much. Like damns.

LOVE

Surprising, the day after I stopped analyzing When I wasn't looking That's when you walked in Coming outta the cool blue Couldn't figure out if you were someone I already knew I couldn't place the face, I said "Haven't we met?" I'd been hiding in the corner Sending out warnings Trying to keep the world away You got by my defenses Knocked me senseless Something worth the wait Just one heartbeat at a time Nice and easy, stars aligned And it happened super natural Just one heartbeat at a time All the molecules combined Hearts fell together, happened super natural It's like lighting You can't look away even though it's kinda frightening Like waves crashing through You don't know what to do You're caught up in the feeling And your head is reeling Flying at the speed of sound High on the vibrations Mother Nature, here to hold you down Just one heartbeat at a time Nice and easy, stars aligned And it happened super natural Just one heartbeat at a time All the molecules combined Hearts fell together, happened super natural I never liked the sound of settling People always meddling So I was happier all alone, on my own I always thought one day it'd happen easily I never knew it'd happen super naturally Just one heartbeat at a time Nice and easy stars aligned And it happened super natural Just one heartbeat at a time All the molecules combined Hearts fell together, happened super natural

You know, my second concert was 311 and Incubus at Mud Island here in Memphis back in 2000. I've been listening to them since I was 6. And you know, uh, you know... uh... I'm on the fence here.

Love this album...Nick is the man!!

Dope yo

I had no idea this project was even happening. 311 fan for 17 years, I can see being down with this!

yeah i agree, but we got another 311 album coming out early next year so we'll see how that goes

heard a little pachelbel canon in there!

So chill.... Nick; your words bring me back to my roots & being happy.. Peace, Unity & Love my friend... I believe I told you the same thing on 3/11/11 cruise.. Cheers!

I'm loving every song I'm hearing off this album!!!!! I cant wait to hear them ALL!!!

♥♥♥♥♥

As a huge 311 fan, I love the direction he went with this. Amazing.

This is further proof that any song with "nice and easy" in the lyrics makes it an absolute masterpiece

I for one like this song and can't relate to the "This-sounds-like-311-but-doesn't-sound-like-it-could-have-been-on-Transistor" rage.

Really good, chill stuff from Nick. Diggin' it.

This really just sounds like 311, similar to Amber, Whisky and Wine, Two Drops in the Ocean, not saying I don't like it, just sounds like 311. SA sound with Ghostwolf is distinctly different and unique, I really dig the Ghostwolf sound which is similar to the 80's band, The Church.

Hard to understand why he couldn't have recorded this with 311.

Nick man, I cannot wait for this Thursday (01/16/2014) my best friend got me some tickets for your show at "The Depot" in SLC, Utah! I'm pumped!

well I think Nick Hexum wrote a lot of guitars on 311, and it's normal to be influenced by your other project ;)

good job my dude always pull thru....Philly Bboy

Sounds really good but....oh no. Its 311 without the 311. I'm heartbroken.

Just one heartbeat at a time... Really diggin' this! Can't wait to have the album in my hands Oct 1st!

can you upload "sideways" and "blame the sky" please :D

Im a littled confused myself??? This is a 311 stylee track but without the band... Ive been down since 92 and ill still support them but... whats up here?

I know I have heard a couple and LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I have pre-order the album on iTunes. I also pre-order a cd copy that is sign by Nick Hexum. That will just stay in my 311 Shrine of signed memorabilia.

Totally agree, well spoken :-P Thx for not being just one of those people who will just arbitrarily go straight to "this shit sucks" simply cuz they don't dig it

Great song :-)

Nick hit me up, you need better meds.. lol ..sounds chill.. more reggae, less whooohoohoo.

Artists are on contract to start their shows when they are supposed to start their shows.. If you were hanging on his nuts so hard (which is weird in the first place) then why didn't you just wait by the bus when the show was over?

Super Natural sounds amazing! Nice to hear Nick getting into a different style and groove. I expect good jams coming from NHQ and not disappointing. Good stuff.

The album cover and band name mislead me into thinking this was going to sound.. Well .. Different. . Not even worth being disappointed lol.

:( Poor baby. I'm sure your daughter will get over it. You on the other hand...

That was just my comment.Was I would nt be surprised hearing this on one of there new shit albums since everything after from chaos fell off,and tough..

it might take a couple of listens kinda like a first straw its ok i kinda stop drinking the 311 cool aid musically after uplifter which had stellar production do to bob rock only because i love the arena and hair rock sound but song writing wise 311 has been on a downhill since DTOM. 311 in the 90s could do wrong as far as im concerned music to soundsystem absolute classics flawless material. what 311 doesnt accomplish on records nowadays they make up for it live

You obviously don't understand the life.... we cant please all of you fans... And we wish we could!!!!!

i mean 311 could DO no wrong in 90's gotta correct my statement in hindsight great fucking band you could easily utter 311 name in the same sentence as deftones,RATM,,RHCP,incubus, in the 90's that is.311 should have been were incubus is right now IMO

I'm very, very sad about the Pachelbel chord progression...

sounds like 311

Hey kyle couldn't agree with you more. If you don't like it don't fucking listen. But no need to talk shit either. If you want to hear killer music check out Pepper if you don't already listen to them the old shit not just the new stuff

this is basically the same progression as the hook by blues traveler

I agree with you 100%. This just sounds like a shitty 311 song

I would nt be surprised hearing this on one of 311s new shit albums.But was loyal to them in high school 96-00 went o every show high as shit.Why cant they make good music anymore I mean transistor sounds different from blue,blue sounds different from soundsytem im sorry after from chaos they went downhill like a motherfucker..

Simple solution: just listen to their 90's albums, or greatest hits, or whatever the fuck you want. Don't knock music you don't like, just don't listen to it. problem solved.

From Chaos is definitely their peak. Evolver has some good ones on it too though.. after that though, nothing.

doesn't sound different at all from 311...pretty disappointing...

this sucks
