Grassroots (album)
Grassroots is the second album by 311, released on July 12, 1994. The album was intentionally recorded to have a "muddy" tone, and was recorded in a small house in Van Nuys where all of the band members lived together. This album also contains the track "Applied Science", which is a staple in 311's live show and has included a full-band drum solo since 2000. P-Nut records with a 5-String Warwick bass for the first time here as well. The album was certified Gold in 1999 by the RIAA, having sold over 500,000 copies.[3]

gollark: 2018 or so.
gollark: They invented promises AGES ago.
gollark: Maybe call it "Pyramid", after the callback pyramid thing.
gollark: `add(x, y, (result, err) => /* whatever */)`
gollark: Hmm. How about Node.js in the callback era, but MORE SO? Every single operation requires a callback.
