#311 transistor all b sides manual

I think The Quickening has a weak mix compared to the others, just bumping up the guitar and bass would’ve given it more energy imo, but I dig the guitar riff itself and I enjoy SA’s erethreal vocals and lyrics. Do you like Grifter better than Long For the Flowers? I was thinking of doing a mash up of those two similar to what I did with Too Late and Stainless a few weeks back, I think overall LFTF is a stronger song and feels more complete, but some of the lyrics/melodies are still kinda clunky imo (“I wish for surviving but time, but time it steals like a thief”). Interesting, I like how different your ranking is.

How would you rank the released Transistor b-sides? Do you think any of them could/should have replaced another song on Transistor? Do you think the remaining unheard b-sides actually exist or were they all just working titles for other songs? These included Writer's Block Party, Grifter (with the original lyrics), Earth People, The Quickening, Everything, and also the (to my knowledge) unknown track Lemming. IIRC, the next time we heard any of the Transistor b-sides was on Archive. An instrumental demo of Grifter was leaked (along with many other demos for the DTOM album) in 2004. Nick and SA wrote some new lyrics for Grifter, which became Long For the Flowers.

Additionally, there were titles for still unreleased songs such as The 90's, Hazy, M.T.A., and To the Future, as well as titles that are now known to be the working titles for other songs (Clone Me became Tune In and Fuck the KKK became Electricity).Īt some point in the early 2000's (maybe on an odd year 311 Day?) they made the instrumental songs Space Funk and Old Funk available to download from the band's website. At the time, some known song titles were Writer's Block Party, Grifter, Earth People, The Quickening, Everything, Old Funk, Space Funk (all eventually released). The album is already stuffed with 21 songs (22 including the hidden intro), and yet it had been common knowledge for years that there were additional songs from those sessions that remained unreleased. For many years, the Transistor b-sides were one of the "holy grails" for 311 fans.
