Sacred temple is what you're given. Receive the medicine
Enlarged to Show Detail (1996)
A "behind the scenes" DVD Epilogue to the Debut Trilogy containing interviews, music videos, concert footage, etc. - with a bonus EP of outtakes from 1995.
THE TRANSITION YEARS, 1997-2001
Transistor (1997)
4th Studio LP: The next phase in 311's evolution begins with this ambitious and psychedelic exploration of their unique style. This is their longest album, and it shows a substantial decrease in the rap/sing ratio. Transistor is my 4th favorite release (or 2nd fave if you count the first three LPs as one).
Soundsystem (1999)
5th Studio LP: While this follow-up to Transistor is not a huge leap forward style-wise, they still "come original" here. Soundsystem is really just as high quality as Transistor, which is only slightly more favored because it is longer. Soundsystem, technically my 5th favorite LP, is the last 311 album that I would describe as "great."
From Chaos (2001)
6th Studio LP: This is the 3rd and final album of the Transitional phase started by Transistor and continued with Soundsystem. This album is not a huge departure from Soundsystem, but to me it far inferior. Front-man Nick Hexum was suffering from a long-term relationship break-up, and it shows. This album attempts to herald the dawning of a new era for the band, but it instead accentuates the ending of their glorious initial decade. From Chaos is tied with DTOM (2005) for my least favorite 311 studio LP, but it still has a couple killer tracks, like "Sick Tight."
Enlarged to Show Detail #2 (2001)
A "behind the scenes" DVD Epilogue to the Transition Years containing interviews, music videos, concert footage, etc. - with a bonus EP of outtakes from 1999 and 2001. I actually like this well-produced DVD better than the original ETSD (96).
THE NEW SCHOOL, 2002-?
...
Live in New Orleans - 311 Day (2004)
Only four songs are missing from this epic five-hour concert (which I attended). This DVD features the live performance of 64 songs, mostly from 311's 1990-2003 releases. A handful of rare outtakes and covers were also played, including a reggae classic from Led Zeppelin.311 - Enlarged to Show Detail #2
ETSD a little blurry.
I loved ETSD 1, and don't get me wrong, I like this one also, but it's just not on the same level as the first. The editing is shotty and the cover is poorly designed. I guess aside from technical aspects, this dvd is excellent, but those kind of things just grate on my nerves.
The single best part of the dvd? "Do not fistfight the bears. They are very good fighters!"311 - Enlarged to Show Detail #2

Better Than The First, Absolutely Great
I actually bought this dvd before I had a dvd player cause I thought it was limited and a dvd lasts longer. When I finally got a player, I was amazed. This is to watch with friends. This includeds live footage of full songs (unlike the first ETSD with the exception of Visit, 123, and FTBS). It's really a great compilation of various home movies, live footage, behind the scenes & fans. It's a blast to watch when over at a friends house. It includes footage of the rare songs Cali Soca (for a couple seconds), Psycho (featuring Shaq, this song is edited however), Outside (in the studio), I Am Superman (REM Cover), Sweet Child Of Mine (GNR Cover), and a section of old stuff from the Omaha days with songs I never even heard before. You can also see the milk challenge (you'll have to see it), a Japaneese fan singing Come Original, DJ Master Mint (hilarious), some funny guy with really bad teeth with the band, footage about the Anti Racist Action, Fans, each band member, 311 Day 2000, Halloween shows, making the videos, KROQ Weenie Roast 2001, videos for Come Original, Flowing, Transistor, I'll Be Here A While, and more. Also comes with a 6 song cd featuring the Soundsystem outtake Dancehall, and 5 From outtakes: Bomb The Town, We Do It Like This, Will The World, Dreamland & I'll Be Here A While (Acoustic Version). Get this before you get the first Enlarged To Show Detail, the first one is awesome but this puts it to shame. This dvd seems kinda overpriced but its well worth the money. This is a must have for all 311 fans! Note: the bonus cd does not come with a jewel case and insert unless you buy the VHS edition.311 - Enlarged to Show Detail #2
Even better than ETSD 1
311's "Enlarged To Show Detail 2" is just friggen awesome. It contains so much more than the first one and has a lot more concert footage. The movie this time around is not about them being interviewed as much as the first. This time it's more about their "From Chaos" tour (which I attended and loved) and it contains MANY more hilarious behind-the-scenes home-movies made while touring. Some of the highlights are each band member's personal scene, Japan, 311-Day, and of course the 311 Milk Challenge which is the funniest thing I've seen in a looong time. Some other things that are in the movie are footage from 311's "Hive", Halloween shows, Old School footage from when they first started out, some brief interviews with the band, the summer Weenie-Roast featuring a guest appearance by Shaq to sing the unreleased song "Psycho", and some other awesome things. The DVD contains even more music videos than the first. It has videos for "Transistor", "Prisoner", "Beautiful Disaster", "Come Original", "Flowing", "You Wouldn't Believe", and "I'll Be Here Awhile (Director's Cut). It also contains "Making The Video" episodes for "Flowing" and "You Wouldn't Believe". It also has a trailer for ETSD 1 and comes with a new bonus CD with more unreleased tracks. A must buy for any 311 fan. The movie runs for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This one too has a parental advisory and is somewhat worse than the first. It contains explicit language, explicit drug content, and some sexual-humor. The milk challenge is also not reccomended for the weak stomachs.311 - Enlarged to Show Detail #2
