Music is the debut studio album by American rock band 311. It was released on February 9, 1993, by Capricorn Records. The album was certified gold in 1999 by the RIAA.<ref name="RIAA" />

Background

There are only five tracks that were not included on 311's previous independent releases: "Visit", "Paradise", "Hydroponic", "My Stoney Baby", and "Fat Chance". However, all of the songs that had been previously released were altered, most notably "Do You Right", where nearly all of the lyrics were changed. Doug "SA" Martinez also changed his main verses in "Freak Out", "Feels So Good" and "Fuck the Bullshit". The breakdown in "Plain" was completely changed musically, and the lyrics were re-arranged. The first pressing was originally manufactured and distributed by Warner Bros. Records Inc. and thus bears the "WB" logo in the bottom right corner. Later issues were manufactured and distributed by RED in 1994, Mercury Records in 1996 and most recently Volcano.

Track listing

All songs were written, recorded, and produced by Nick Hexum, Doug “SA” Martinez, Chad Sexton, Aaron “P-Nut” Wills, Tim Mahoney, and Eddy Offord, except “Raga Drop (feat. Daddy Freddy),” which was written, recorded, and produced by Nick Hexum, Doug “SA” Martinez, Eddy Offord, and Daddy Freddy.
