Yeung █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ Nearly three decades into their careers, 311 unveiled Mosaic, their █║║█ █║║█ 12th album of fusion rock that continues their tried-and-true █║║█ █║║█ combination of reggae, hip-hop, and alternative metal. The fourth █║║█ █║║█ set produced by Scott Scotch Ralston, Mosaic extends the path of █║║█ █║║█ 2014's Stereolithic -- deeper lyrics and expert execution -- except █║║█ █║║█ with a more exciting and uplifting vibe. The island influences make █║║█ █║║█ this an enjoyable summertime soundtrack, but aside from the █║║█ █║║█ outright tropical cabana vibe of Island Sun, Mosaic's tunes are █║║█ █║║█ more fit for a sunset rager on a sweaty beach. The Night Is Young █║║█ █║║█ starts with a chilled-out groove courtesy of guitarist Tim Mahoney, █║║█ █║║█ bassist P-Nut, and drummer Chad Sexton, before doubling-down with a █║║█ █║║█ crunchy blast that kicks sand into the face of anyone who thought █║║█ █║║█ 311 were getting soft in their forties. One in the Same and Hey Yo █║║█ █║║█ are absolute assaults that also prove this point nicely. Such █║║█ █║║█ satisfying riffs and pounding drums abound on Mosaic, offering a █║║█ █║║█ bountiful handful of classic 311 tracks to open up the pit, as S.A. █║║█ █║║█ Martinez raps on Perfect Mistake. He continues, This is life, █║║█ █║║█ man/All we do is jam/We'll make you feel like a child/Again and █║║█ █║║█ again. Indeed, the warm feelings of nostalgia continuously bubble █║║█ █║║█ up on Too Late, One in the Same, Face in the Wind, and many more. █║║█ █║║█ John Feldmann (Goldfinger, blink-182, All Time Low) joins the █║║█ █║║█ production team for a handful of entries, infusing ''Til the City's █║║█ █║║█ on Fire with a dancehall/pop-punk heartbeat that even includes a █║║█ █║║█ bass drop, and the contemplative Places That the Mind Goes with a █║║█ █║║█ distinct Amber energy. At a hefty 17 songs, Mosaic seems like it █║║█ █║║█ might overstay its welcome. However, with the amount of variety on █║║█ █║║█ display -- a mosaic of sounds, if you will -- the LP serves as an █║║█ █║║█ energetic soundtrack with thrilling peaks and blissed-out valleys, █║║█ █║║█ making it yet another gift to their dedicated fan base and another █║║█ █║║█ possible entry point for casual listeners who haven't checked out █║║█ █║║█ the Omaha quintet since Down or Love Song. Closing with the █║║█ █║║█ anthemic On a Roll, Nick Hexum sings Gonna keep it alive/We're █║║█ █║║█ always chasing the sun/Writing words to a book/Another chapter's █║║█ █║║█ begun. It's a triumphant declaration from these vets, a rousing █║║█ █║║█ promise that the party has yet to end. █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ /team FKK █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ █║║█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████║║█ █║╠█═════──────────────── ─┬─ ┌─┐ ┌┐ ┌── ┐┌ ┌──┐ ──────────────────══════█╣║█ █║╠█══════─────────────── │ │─└┐┌├└┐│ ├─┐ └──┐ ───────────────────═════█╣║█ █║╠█══════─────────────── └ └ └┘ └└──── └────┘ ────────────────────════█╣║█ █║║█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█║║█ █║║█ 01 Too Much To Think 03:54 █║║█ █║║█ 02 Wildfire 05:28 █║║█ █║║█ 03 The Night Is Young 03:48 █║║█ █║║█ 04 Island Sun 03:00 █║║█ █║║█ 05 Perfect Mistake 03:10 █║║█ █║║█ 06 Extension 02:51 █║║█ █║║█ 07 Inside Our Home 03:40 █║║█ █║║█ 08 'Til The City's On Fire 02:56 █║║█ █║║█ 09 Too Late 05:23 █║║█ █║║█ 10 Hey Yo 03:33 █║║█ █║║█ 11 Places That The Mind Goes 03:00 █║║█ █║║█ 12 Face In The Wind 03:40 █║║█ █║║█ 13 Forever Now 03:26 █║║█ █║║█ 14 Days Of '88 03:54 █║║█ █║║█ 15 One And The Same 03:27 █║║█ █║║█ 16 Syntax Error 02:13 █║║█ █║║█ 17 On A Roll 03:09 █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ 01:00:32 █║║█ █║║█ █║║█ █║║█████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████║║█ █║╠█═════------------- ┌── ┌─┐ ┌──┌── ─┬─ ─ ┌┐ ┌┌── ┌──┐ ------------══════█╣║█ █║╠█══════──---------- │ ─┐│─└┐├─ ├─ │ │ │└┐││ ─┐└──┐ -------------═════█╣║█ █║╠█══════─────────--- └──┘└ └└──└─── └ └ ─ └┘└──┘───┘ ──────────────════█╣║█ █║║█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀█║║█ █║║█▀ greetings to everyone supporting us ▀█║║█ █║║█▀ since 2002 ▀█║║█ █║║█▀ ▀█║║█ █╚╚█══════╗╔════════╗╔═════════╗╔══════════╗╔═════════╗╔══════════╗╔═══════█╝╝█ ███████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████ ▀▀▀██▀███▀║║▀██████▀║║▀███████▀║║▀████████▀║║▀███████▀║║▀████████▀║║▀█████▀█▀▀▀ ██▄▄▄▄▄║║▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄║║▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄║║▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄║║▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄║║▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄║║▄▄▄▄▄▄▄█ ▀▀▀▀▀██║║▀▀████▀▀║║▀▀█████▀▀║║▀▀██████▀▀║║▀▀█████▀▀║║▀▀██████▀▀║║██▀▀▀▀▀▀ ██╚║════════╣╚═════════╠╚══════════╠╚═════════╠╚══════════║╝██ ██ │ ▀▀ │ ▀▀ │ ▀▀▀▀ │ ▀▀▀ │ ▀▀▀▀ │ ██ █ ▀ ▀ ▀▀ ▀ ▀▀ █
