Product Description

Amazon.ca

Ska music has been deeply ingrained in the punk rock culture since the Clash adopted their rude boy stance near the end of the British punk invasion and the 2-Tone label put ska on the map. Suddenly, punks stopped kicking the crap out of each other long enough to dance. The debut release by Orange County, California's Sublime is a positively infectious record that marries varied styles of dub, reggae, rap, sampling, scratching, and badass dancehall ska with old-school punk overtones. Musicianship on this record is exceptionally tight, featuring Brad Nowell's innovative guitar work and bright, soulful voice. Packed with 40 oz. of rock (21 tracks) including the ultimate pot-smoking anthem "Smoke Two Joints" and the novelty hit "Date Rape." --Gail Worley

5.0 out of 5 stars hot damn July 2 2004
Format:Audio CD
You already know I'm rocking this and copping this album, why the hell wouldn't I? Think about it friend, this is a great album that just solidly encapsulates the whole mood and sound of Sublime. Sublime is a great band it really has a sort of sound that just touches on everything, but has such a solid consistancy that you would be damned to say that these guys suffer an identity crisis. Unlike many of the numerous (NUMEROUS) bands to bite sublimes style (Authority Zero I point my finger squarely at you!) there is a solid consistancy that comes from Sublime. I wish death on bands that bite their style, no there will never EVER be another band like Sublime so imatators... please stop! Anyways I'm feeling like talking about every song on this album... aight 1 2 3 here I go!

Waiting For My Ruca- what a great song! I just love the dum dum sort of beat on this. It is slow and it is dreamy, a quality song indeed.
40 Oz. To Freedom- mmmmmm good. The begining just kicks and you get into the hook as soon as you hear. Then comes the bangin' chorus with the charged guitar, oh it makes my body sweat.
Smoke Two Joints- is the worst song Sublime ever sang. I hate this song I think it is so annoying, I don't even have the faintest idea why all you pot heads think it's such a great song. Way too gimmicky.
We Are Only Going to Die For Our Own Ignorance- this song rocks em real tight boy. I likes it, it just has a punkish feeling to yet it stays with that sort of ska riff that... oh it just sounds good. This was when Bad Religion didn't suck.
Don't Push- a great reggae soundin' song. I like it much you can just chill back and rock ya head back and fourth, maybe even do something that involves ummmm well you know what I'm talking about.
5447/ball and chain- awfullly enjoyable I think this is the best song on the album... just about my friends
Badfish- a great song with just a kickin' chorus, the lyrics are tottally boss.
Let's Get Stoned- I enjoy the ending of this song with the jam atmosphere, though I usually don't like hearing bands "jam" this sort of hits the spot.
New Thrash- hell yeah! I love thrash, punk rawk!
Scarlet Begonias- yawn, kind of a weak song. I love Sublime but I just can't get into this song.
Live at E's- this is a really really good song. It has such a dreamy quality to it, you can just sit back and enjoy. One of the best things about Sublime is that you can just chill back and enjoy, they aren't trying to shake you and say "ENJOY THIS" like many bands try to do. They just let thier natural flava hit ya.
D.Js- I like this song, a little bit of a hip hop flava that is just right, oh don't forget dance hall!
Chipa Me Tipo- suck my tip, ha funny. Anyways yeah Brad speaks spanish, I don't know if I'm too hot on that but I kinda like it.
Right Back- I love this song. It just has that same chill back flava that I just savor. Oh this song has great lyrics, I can't ever write anything when I tweak (which is much at all, I've only done it like five times) so I'm glad Brad was able to.
What Happened- humorous and rockin', me like.
New Song- good, enough said my friends.
Ebin- this song is enjoyable, the tales of a friend who chose to go the wrong way. In fact this song rocks.
Date Rape- the single off this album. I dug this song a lot back in 7th grade. I still like it, though it makes me reminensce way too much.
Hope- I like this song a lot. It just captures that sort of skate punk that was around back in the day, it even has a sort of Descendants flavor to it. I really like this song.
KRS-One- tribute to a dope MC. Good song
Rivers of Babylon- it's aight, it is live so a good flava.
Thanx- I like this song cuz' they can fit more lyrics and stuff into the linear notes instead of annoying thank you's.

R.I.P. Brad thanks for the music!

5.0 out of 5 stars and there he wept when he remembered Zion... July 1 2004
Format:Audio CD
Ever wanted to know where 311 got most of their inspiration in their revolutionary sound, then look no further then Sublime. Sublime is the epitomy of the music movement apptly titled "ska," in which they combined their many influences which included reggae, hip hop, rock, and good old punk and dancehall fused together to form what we all know as ska. But Sublime really can't be holed into a catagory like ska because they really were just too original to be of a small part of a whole. They were the voice of the LBC and the voice of everyone that loves to party and have a good time. They had a couragous singer in Bradley Knowell, with his smooth and haunting voice, and guitar skills to boot there was no way of doubting this bands sucess and well, some saw the untimely end come sooner then we all expected (RIP).

40 oz's is by far their masterpiece, and if you're new to the ska scene, it would be a shame for you not to buy this album first and foremost before any others. Every song is a definate listen and though it takes time for some people to hook onto them, it will be definately worth the time and effort to listen to this whole cd. Even the shoutout track at the end is great! This album is the soul of Bradley and it shows the struggles he dealt with, and the heart and soul he poured into getting his band off the ground and into history.
