    You don't realize how tight 311 really is as a band until you try covering this simple-sounding song. You need to be very precise with the drums, and you need to fight the urge to rush on the bass with all the stops it has. Their precision is so underrated.

      @@JeffHuntsinger complexity is not the only determining factor when it comes to the quality of a bassline or a bassist. Groove is an equally important part, a bass player who can slap or shred all day but has no idea how to groove is much worse than a bassist who can just groove in a pocket.
      Tl;dr, just because this bass part is basic doesn’t mean it’s not great. Serves the song immaculately. This and tool are two completely different vibes, it doesn’t do to compare them

If that's the case I'll still have to disagree when there's bands such as blonder , alvaays , Banes world , summer salt , wolf Alice , knox fortune and many more . All it takes is for you to search for it , and other genres of music are doing well , hip hop has amazing artist besides these new "rappers" who really can't make a good song without the use of an 808 .

    Brainstorm, take me away from the norm'
    I've got to tell you something
    This phenomenon, I had to put it in a song
    And it goes like
    Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
    Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
    You want to know what brings me here
    You glide through my head, blind to fear
    And I know I
    Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
    Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
    Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
    Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
    You live too far away
    Your voice rings like a bell anyway
    Don't give up your independence
    Unless it feels alright
    Nothing good comes easily
    Sometimes you've got to fight
    Whoa, amber is the color of your energy
    Whoa, shades of gold display naturally
    Lost a thousand ships in my heart so easy
    Still it's fine from afar
    And you know that
    Whoa
    Brainstorm
