Don't Tread On Me

Amazon.com
311’s place in rock ‘n’ roll history seems secure. Unfortunately, so does its sound. Unlike other funk-inflected acts such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, and even Incubus, 311’s never fully expanded on the promise of its initial musical vision. On Don’t Tread On Me, the band’s eighth studio release, P-Nut and the gang seem intent on mining the same familiar terrain they have since their 1995 self-titled classic. Fans of albums such as 2001’s From Chaos and 2003’s promising Evolver will likely find Tread familiar and perhaps even comforting, but it’s unlikely to invite a new horde of fans as the album often sounds like an imitation of the bands 311 helped inspire in its decade-plus career. There are some nice touches. "Speak Easy," "Waiting" and many of the other tracks evoke images of sandy beaches and warm summer breezes, but none are strong enough to help Don’t Tread On Me stands out from the herd. --Jedd Beaudoin

Another Amazing Album From 311.......2006-11-29

311 have been together as a band for 15+ years and over the years have continued to pump out one 5 star album after another. Don't Tread On Me, while not my favorite 311 album, still dominates over the competition. While many artists are screaming in anger, whining in an emo voice or rapping about how cool it is to commit acts of violence, 311 and Don't Tread On Me are a comforting break from all of that sadness and negativity. Past 311 albums have been mostly dominated by both vocalists Nick Hexum and SA Martinez singing and rapping together. Don't Tread On Me has one rap/rock song called Solar Flare, which is a colorful commentary on the ills of modern day politics. The other songs have Nick and SA singing interchangably and some parts in wonderful harmony. One pleasant surprise is that SA Martinez gets to show off his always evolving vocals in the songs Getting Through To Her and It's Getting OK Now. The only weak part of the album is that it only has 11 songs and is under 40 minutes in length. But taking the band's main message of positivity into play here, I can all say that I am very thankful for another amazing 311 album and hope that there are many more to come in the future.

It's not that bad.......2006-10-22

I bought this CD after I heard 311's version of The Cure's "Love Song," which was my first taste of 311. I gave it four stars because I haven't heard their other albums, and so I came in listening to it with no real expectations. I did think that the singing would be a little better, but overall, the CD is something I can listen to while driving or doing homework. It's pretty mellow. My personal favorites were Long For The Flowers, Getting Through To Her, and There's Always An Excuse. For those 311 fans who've listened to every album, they probably weren't able to take Don't Tread On Me for what it is. Comparatively speaking to other music that's out there, this CD really isn't that bad. It's not great, but I do listen to it pretty often, and I'd recommend it if you like easy going, island style music and have no expectations as to how this should sound.

311 .......2006-09-01

311 has consistently blended several genres of music (many times when people ask me what kind of music they play, I cannot even describe it), five amazing personalities and excellent lyrics. I have seen 311 live at least 16 times (maybe 18) and was in Memphis this year; every, single show saturates my entire being: body, mind and spirit. To me, they're music is powerful art. I make my own 311 compilations, emulating what THEY do- and the average number off every album is two or three songs, (including off DTOM). The deeply unique element of 311 *is* the wide range of musical and song style- DTOM is just one more example of this. Frankly, some of the lyrics read like poems (which is valuable in and of itself). I love 311 and am grateful for the energy they bring to the planet. I plan to support every album they work hard to produce to keep them going strong! Amy Ginko

sooo sad.......2006-08-14

i am a huge 311 fan and find this cd to be immensely disappointing....this cd makes me want to hold up a sign at the 311 show im going to friday reading "dont tread on me play real 311"...the way you know that its an awful cd is that it would sound awful live...grassroots and music remain the best of 311 the blue album is up there and even though transistor was experimental at least it was full of dubby reggae not poppy predictable stuff found on tread on me...apparently nick hexum and SA can not rap anymore and settled for sunny choruses...311 does not groove anymore i use to love how their music went from soft melodies to hard guitar raps and drum solos all in the same songs....if 311 continues to sound like this nick hexum might as well put out a solo cd

Loyalty.......2006-07-13

Friends and 311 lovers alike, we need to remember how difficult it is to make EVERY single CD a smash HIT. 311 has had numerous chart topping singles. It just so happens that this past album (Don't Tread on Me) was different from what we're used to. The loyal 311 fans will enjoy and await the next album. However, I do like Evolver better also.

Peace

True American.......2004-09-24

This double CD is a must have. Like said by others, much different than their newer stuff but the true roots of the Anti Heros. They influenced many great Oi bands to include the Fatskins from AZ. Pick it up..

street music.......2001-07-03

Some of the Best music of the street.this Cd contains their greatest works. i note;Don't bother buying any of their newer releases...This one is the one to own...5 STARS

Oi! American Oi!.......2000-03-12

the best just never rest, do they? Anti Heros first two albums are a lot different then their newer stuff (different, not better or worse!) but it is still an amazing collection of music. If you listen to Dropkick Murphys, Stars and Stripes, The Templars, the Business, the Last Resort, or the 4-Skins...then why the hell haven't you gotten this yet? you need to..it's a classic. Cheers.

anti-heros.......1999-12-17

One of the best punk rock cd's available. Every time you listen to this, you will want to get drunk and beat dirties!

Hard core at its best.......1999-10-29

This CD will amp you up any time you put it in. For real punks not you jocks or other wanabes. This is punk at its best

A couple of excellent tracks that will blow you away.......2003-05-20

Damn Yankees was a rather short lived project (released only two albums) and "Don't tread" from 1992 is the second one. The album kicks off with a real hard rock wet dream by the name of "Don't tread on me". This song have everything from a hard, heavy and attractive guitar riff to beautiful harmonies sung by Blades and Shaw, and it is a great example of excellent song writing as well as excellent performance. Another gem is the very groovy and catchy "Dirty dog" with it's majestic chorus. These two songs alone are enough to buy this album. In the speedy "Firefly", the guys put in overdrive and travel down the road of rock in 125 mph, keeping enough melody to prevent them from ending up in the ditch. An album featuring Jack Blades from Night Ranger must include a couple of ballads, and "Where you goin' now" is alright even `tho we've heard it all before more than once, especially since it follows the blue print for ballads in this genre. In the song "Double coyote", it seems the guys are inspired by Elvis among other heroes from the early days of rock `n' roll as well as Status Quo's anthem boogie style (sic!). Don't be surprised if you think you hear bits and pieces of The Doors' "Roadhouse blues". The closing and rather speedy "Uprising" together with "Fifteen minutes of fame" are slightly above average while "Mister please" and "Silence is broken" are rather mediocre and uninteresting. The proper rating should end somewhere between 3 strong stars or 4 weaker once.

Another Great Record From The Yanks.......2002-09-26

DON'T TREAD is another great record, including such songs as the stay-out-of-my-backyard anthem title track and the reflective ballads "Where You Goin' Now" and "Silence Is Broken." This time, there are a few less-than-stellar cuts, but overall, this is another great record that makes you wonder why they didn't do another album.

Don't Neglect.......2001-10-17

Don't Tread released in 1992 is the great sophomore effort by Damn Yankees who are made up of tough-guy superstars such as Jack Blades of Night Ranger, Tommy Shaw of Styx and Ted Nugent rock-n-roll beast icon.

It is as damn as their debut album in 1990 and one of my all time bests as well. Damn Yankees as a whole is predominantly
Night Ranger minus keyboard,partly Survivor partly Styx with extra damnness.

My first pick is Where Are You Going Now, first single from this album. It is as if popped out from Survivor's Vital Signs(boy it is also produced by Ron Nevison). And Silence Is Broken, Zep&Purple styled Mister Please. Rockers such as Fifteen Minutes of Fame, mid-tempo tracks such as Dirty Dog, Someone to Believe
are fine as well.

Why such great album has been treated so damn bad by classic rock market?

A lost classic.......2001-08-17

The first album by these guys is quite simply one of my favorite melodic hard rock albums of all time. Suffice it to say, the followup did not get a single as big as "High Enough" and therefore didn't sell nearly as well. Nonetheless, this effort is in my opinion nearly as good as the first one. "Don't Tread On Me" is a fantastic, patriotic leadoff rocker, where Ted Nugent's guitar shreads and Tommy and Jack prove their vocal chemistry is as good as it was on the first album. "Where You Goin' Now" is a beautiful ballad but still with some guitar crunch, and the only track to make it to top 40 radio. "Mister Please" is an anthem that starts slowly but rocks hard at the chorus. "Silence is Broken" was a very obscure single--but what an amazingly layered song both instrumentally and vocally. "Someone To Believe" is the closest thing to the amazing anthem on the first album "Come Again". While not quite as strong, this is still a terrific track. "This Side Of Hell" is very rocking--quite heavy metalish. "Uprising" is the last track and the one song with Nugent-led vocals. A decent song but not his best. Unlike the first album, which truly had all amazing tracks, "Dirty Dog" brings this effort down just a bit. It is a fun song but a little goofy with the lyrical content. All in all, another masterpiece and what would ultimately be the last release from this great band. Great melodies and rock from beginning to end.

Hard to find :c(.......2001-04-11

When I bought the tape so many years ago, I never realized it'd be so hard to find on CD. Too bad I didn't have a CD player back then :c) One of the best CDs I've ever heard, and/or ever will

Product Description

Dont Tread On Me is the 1995 album by country-rock artist Rip Masters. Legendary DJ Charlie Gilmore (Dothan, Alabama) called Alabama Moon "a knockdown, dragout hit!" He also picked Walk On By as a standout cut. Eddie Russell (KULM, Columbus, Texas) told us "Great songwriting, vocals, melodies and production...the whole tamale rates A+++++ 5*****'s! Don't Tread On Me ranks quickly into the cream of the crop. Count on plenty of airtime!" From Jamie Hoover (KCSS-FM, Turlock, California): "We love this album...it's in rotation and getting phones." Thomas Greener (KVMR, Nevada City, California) adds "Lots of requests, great original songs!" The Barry Wass Country Radio Show (Victoria, Australia) reports "playing a lot of cuts, especially Alabama Moon on my show."
