Play track 1, then hold down the 'back' button on your CD player. There is a secret track before the first song, "Transistor". Outtakes from this album are "Earth People", "Clone Me", "MTA", "Grifters", "The Quickening", "Everything", "Writer's Block Party", "Space Funk", "Old Funk", "To The Future" and "(White Man) in Hammersmith Palais". This further explains Nick Hexum's lyric "this song started as a rant against haters, but that'd be giving into the instigators". "Electricity" was originally called "F*** the KKK". The 11th track "No Control" has no relation to the Bad Religion song No Control from their 1989 album of the same name. "Transistor" was originally intended to be a double-album, but was condensed to 21 tracks on one CD. "Beautiful Disaster", "Prisoner", and "Transistor" were released as singles. The 'Prisoner' video involves the band playing in a courtroom. The 'Beautiful Disaster' video shows the band playing live in a venue with some of the scenes involving the audience entering and exiting the venue and cheering them on. The music video for 'Transistor' involves the band playing on TV in a CGI-animated rotating cube with some famous places & buildings in the background and some scenes feature the band members spinning around in a room as well.

The album was certified Platinum, having sold over 1 million copies. Mind you, the KKK rumor wasn’t all bad news for the band.Transistor is the fourth studio album by 311. Now our name simply means – five friends from Omaha making music. The name of our band originally comes from an Omaha police citation for indecent exposure. Our lyrics make a strong stand against racism and a strong stand for positivity and unity. Anyone familiar with our lyrics knows how we feel. We believe the only people worth hating are organized haters like the KKK. We would like to state for the record that this is completely at odds with our personal beliefs. This is a most unfortunate coincidence and one that is extremely disturbing to us. “It has come to our attention that there is a very unsettling rumor circulating regarding the name of our band ‘311.’ We have been told that certain white supremacist groups use the numbers 311 to represent KKK. As a result, some high schools, including Westside High School, banned students from wearing 311 t-shirts. In 1997 there was a rumor going around that the name 311 stood for KKK because K is the 11th letter of the alphabet (3K).
