"311 are the grizzled graybeards of alternative music. For nearly 10 years their funkified, left-field take on the rap-metal zeitgeist has been soundtracking dormitory keg parties — that's a thousand lifetimes for some of these fly-by-night alt combos. In that stretch they've had their ups (1994's Grassroots) and their relative downs (the clunky Transistor), but they've always stayed creative, quietly building a reputation for consistency. In keeping with the band's creational verve and veteran status, Evolver at first seems to be their Statement Album, complete with a hilariously overwrought cover painting, and that snarky referential title. But it's a bit misleading because musically, the album turns out to be built from the usual 311 components. ...fans will enjoy it ...'Creatures (For a While)' is Evolver's 'Come Original,' its inescapable riff wrapped around stinging snare hits and S.A.'s endearing/annoying drop-ins. 'Crack the Code' and 'Sometimes Jacks Rule the Realm' account for the stylistic departure portion of the album, the former drifting lightly between dubby electronica and an S.A.-sung rasta rock lilt, the latter weaving acoustic guitar and echo around co-vocalist Nick Hexum's earnest lyricisms." — AllMusic.com
