I'm not too sure on why Universal Pulse turned out the way it did. Maybe it just could've been Bob Rock's involvement with the record, but these eight songs feel like one disjointed, unclear, weightless time bomb. Really, had 311's official tenth studio album started out as a mere EP - which isn't left-field once the averange length of tracks are taken into consideration - I probably could've given this a slightly higher score, biased as it all may sound.

Although Hexum eased on the lame crooning from the last album that I assume was directed towards his wife in the Pussycat Dolls, this EP-length album still feels too pop for my liking. Hexum is really hindering the band, and honestly there isn't any hope for these guys as they enter their 40s. They can still put on a great live performance.

It seems to me the band has run out of new ideas and can't quite get back to the initial spark they once had. That said, this brief and concise no filler disc is still enjoyable.

Sorry guys, grew up listening to the Moon Album when I was like 9 but this is a terribly far departure from anything good that 311 used to resemble.

311's tenth album sports eight swift songs that end as quickly as they begin, packed with chugging guitar riffs, summery melodies, and all the cheese you could want.
