Editorial Review

For all his tattoos and bulked-up frat-boy persona, singer Bradley Nowell had real soul, which made his fatal heroin overdose even more tragic. There's more to this Long Beach, California, trio's debut, released shortly after Nowell's death in 1996, than white suburban punks imitating Jamaican ska music. The band comes up with great songs, notably the catchy MTV hit "What I Got"; spooky dub-reggae undertones, produced by the Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary, to go with the snappy horns; and surprisingly progressive lyrics that attack sexism and other social ills, especially on "Wrong Way." Like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fishbone, obvious forebears, Sublime become slightly tiresome after 17 songs, but the band is great in short doses. Read more

Editorial Review

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."

Masterpiece.
Amazing. I got this for Christmas a few years back and I was sad that it wasn't in my CD player earlier. I was a bit taken back by the first song but once I got into the rest of the disc I had absolutely nothing negative to say. it's incredible right up to the end where brad thanks everyone. i still enjoy just listening to him name drop with a catchy beat in the background. it's a complete shame he died because i'd pay any amount of money to hear these songs genuinely played by sublime. This disc has fast thrash, to slow easy chillin tunes with amazing bass, to almost rap like lyrical songs. if you don't have this CD yet i suggest you take a listen.

40oz.ofSublime
this album rules!! sublime rules!!! this and their self-titled albums are their best. too bad that brad died right when they were beginning to take over the world. if you don't have this you need to get this. i have the version with the two later deleted tracks ''rawhide'' and ''get out!'' and i have the version without those 2 tracks and more artwork. both versions are great. Sublime forever!!!

This, right here, is "Sublime Gold"
The production on this album bothered me for the longest time but this is truly a timeless classic. I don't know how many people realize that Sublime were the real deal. Up until their self-titled album, they were always under produced and best represented live. This music has so much heart though, it is unbelievable. There are more self-proclaimed singles on this CD than there are on the bands self-titled effort. A lot of these songs never saw the "light" we call radio, but songs like 40oz. To Freedom, Smoke To Joints, We're Only Gonna Die For Our Arrogance, Don't Push, 5446, Badfish, and basically the rest of the CD, are all great tunes. Artists like Bob Marley are receiving a lot of attention lately, and it seems to be a trend. Sublime is getting a lot of attention too, and it's okay. Sublime was a band that pioneered a sound. And, during the 90s, they were an out to all the grunge that dominated the era. This is also the only album I hear so many people complaining that they have worn out. Like that's a bad thing. ...

Underneath It All
I give this album five stars for the track underneath it all alone. I actually I had never heard of no doubt until a couple of years ago when I heard underneath it all playing on the the radio. Since then I've been all ears ever since.

Just scrapes the surface but still excellent.
I got into No Doubt in 1995.
Get Tragic Kingdom instead.
There are a couple of good songs on here. I love the song Sunday Morning. But then they went and put crappy songs like "Hey Baby" and "Hella Good" on it, and it just went to hell. Plus all of their most overrated songs, which I just am not a big fan of. No Doubt was awesome up until Return Of Saturn, and Gwen's solo career just sucks horribly. ... Read more

This has everything (Including a country version of Suburban Rhythm!)
If you like RBF you will love this album(s).All their greatest hits and some extensions of Suburban Rhythm (like a Rap, Country, Metal, The Strokes, Disco, and Punk versions)I have this CD through Yahoo's Music Unlimited ToGo service and I am still going to buy this for the DVD.
BEST BAND EVER!!!!
okay first of all. if you havent seen reel big fish in concert it is an absolute MUST!!.. the songs on these CDS are so much more alive. its the true way reel big fish should be heard. they are the coolest band EVER! oh and one more thing
Amazing concert and price
For the low low price of X dollars you not only get 2 cds (35 songs!) you also get a DVD with tons of extra stuff.Ska may be dead to main stream radio but if you dont' really care about the radio (and i know ya don't because radio is just commercials and crap, but anyways)I saw RBF when they came to my school and that show was amazing, listening/watching this is like reliving one of my favorite shows ever.Ok overall if you like RBF then you should get this because it has every song you like, either on the dvd or cds , and when it comes to live performances RBF sounds even better than on record.Check it and see ...

Welcome to the Tragic Kingdom!
This is the best album No Doubt has ever made. I still remember in 1996 when don't speak was No.1 for long weeks. I thunk this song is the best No doubt has ever made. A performance deserving a standing ovation. The rate lies down:
Fun!
You can't go wrong with this CD.It's just fun!Gwen's voice, the lyrics, the music is all good stuff!

Great New Wave/Ska Revival
I listened to this for the first time in a long time recently and was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds.

Just as Green Day aped the Ramones, their contemporaries in this Southern California punk quartet aspired to be the Clash. But also like Green Day, Rancid's fresh approach and excellent songs (including the ska-punk MTV hit "Time Bomb" and the anthemic "Roots Radicals") rose far above tribute-band level. And poet Jim Carroll (Read more

might as well enjoy it...
Like them or loathe them, Rancid is passionate about music. This album is 4 friends playing music they love and it ends up sounding like it.
this really isn't a review just a thought
I started reading some of these reviews and the whole "rip-off"/"wannabe" clash thing came up a lot. Yes this record in particular does have a lot of clash influence. but than again were SLF heavily influenced by the clash as well? and weren't the clash influenced by the ramones? then again who wasn't?

Not for the "punk was dead in 1986" types.
First off, to all the jaded and grumpy punk elitists, I feel for you.I really do.Punk is probably the most afflicted of any music genre.But if your sole purpose of writing a review is to "school" the ignorant and tell Rancid fans to listen to Op Ivy and The Descendants and The Ramones and Bad Religion etc, you're wasting your time.

As much as No Doubt have protested that they are a singular unit and not "Gwen and her guys," Gwen Stefani's much-touted duets with rapper Eve and techno mogul Moby did nothing to juice the boys' spotlight, which had been steadily dimming since the release of 2000's Read more

Rock Steady is really lovely underneath it all.
Rock Steady is a great party album. No Doubt just let their hair down and did the damn thing. No, the music isn't ska, but it still has elements of island, reggae flavor mixed with rock. Their previous album Return of Saturn didn't really grab most people's attention despite being the best album of their career. I still marvel at how much I enjoy Return of Saturn, but I digress. Rock Steady comes one year later, and was met to better fanfare partly because the public was warmed over due to Gwen's solo appearances with Eve and Moby. Also, the music is simpler and catchier, which seems to be what the masses want.
Great CD!
I have had this for 4 years now, and I am not the least bit tired of it. It is catchy, kind of ska, and has Gwen Stefani's very intense writing. But her lyrics are a bit softer in this CD. The music video for "Hey baby" is included on this CD, and it is just about the best music video I have ever seen. It also has a "making of" feature which is fun too. I love singing along to this CD. Gwen Stefani has such a great voice and such a unique sense of style it's hard not to like her. I recommend this CD to grieving No Doubt lovers. And I'm sorry if I wasn't helpful. I don't really care that much; I just want you to buy a good CD.

I know my No Doubt.
I have been a fan of No Doubt for over 10 years - This album, though not NEARLY close to thweir best - is great...if you like dancehall reggae and club music.If you are an old school no doubt fan (Beacon street, self titled, etc...) it might take some getting used to.Definately less depressing than Return of Saturn, not as punky as Tragic Kingdom, nothing close to Beacon Street or the self-titled album....

freakin awesome
i must agree with paulo. knopper or whatever his name is is definatly a idiot. i can never get enough sublime if it be 40oz to freedom,sublime.second hand smoke,robbin the hood, or anything else i missed. now that i think of it there was this one time me and my roommate got all spun out on lsd and listened to 40oz to freedom 5 times in a row. this is definatly a must have along with the 4 disc box set that comes out in nov.

Brad and Sublime: resurrected at last...!
Everybody loves this album; why else would you have clicked on the icon in order to view the product?
Ha I agree w/paulo
That reviewer Steve Kopper is dumb as nails. "For all Brad Nowell's bulked up frat boy persona"...haha what? He probably listens to emo & wears really tight sweaters (wait or is that the 'frat boy' thing to do now? Whatever it's all so confusing) Anyway anyone who knows good music knows Sublime, & if you don't you should. I'm only giving this 4 stars rather than 5 b/c they held out too much on the unreleased tracks, I would have liked there to be more. Still a lot of the tracks particularly on the second disc will probably be new to more casual fans & most people, while the more hardcore are hoping the upcoming box set is released & is mostly new, unheard material. If you don't have the Sublime self-titled I definately recommend this version to the original, I would definately give it a 5 star rating to you if that's your situation. I compared the sound quality of this to the already perfect original & actually they're very similiar if not exactly the same so they didn't go & ruin it w/an overbearing remaster or anything, like corporations sometimes tend to do on these rereleases. Cop it. One Love to Bradley, greatest of all time ... Read more

So sad Brad is gone, but his genius lives on
I was listening to CD-1 in my room tonight, dancing around inspired and free, and was compelled to write a review.I bought this album about 6 weeks ago (my housemate had been playing Slightly Stoopid, who are reminiscent of Sublime but not nearly of the same caliber) and all of a sudden I rediscovered Sublime and realized just how awesome they were.I had bought the self-titled and Second Hand Smoke CDs back in 1997 and liked some tracks (the popular Badfish, Wrong Way, and What I Got) but rarely played the albums...now I am utterly hooked on Sublime and I wonder why it took me so long, but I'm so glad it finally happened.Brad Nowell was a genius and I'm terribly saddened that he is gone...sometimes I find it hard to listen to Sublime songs because I think of how he is no longer here, and reflect on how the tragedy of his untimely passing cheated the world of further brilliant compositions from him.But then I consider that he would not want listeners to mourn and be sad; he would want his music to be listened to and enjoyed, so he could be remembered for what he created during his time on earth...because that's what he was here to do.He was a Pisces like me - creative, troubled, prone to addiction/negative influences, free-spirited, idealistic, searching for meaning, passionate, not living up to our potential, open and giving.I found the touching tribute his father wrote two days after his death...he said that Brad accomplished more in his short life than many do in a long life - which is very true, but his passing still leaves an immeasurable void in the music world.Brad was one of a kind, innately and fluently talented.What stands out is the improvisational, personal nature of his songs.I prefer CD-1 of Sublime Gold because the songs are more upbeat and danceably fun...CD-2 brings to mind the downward slide of the band, but it's all vital listening.

What's The Point???
Don't get me wrong, I think Sublime is a great band and every song on this CD is awesome.But considering that the band only put out 3 albums (not counting the live, acoustic, or rarities albums) wouldn't it make more sense to purchase those 3 albums (40oz, Robbin, self titled) instead of buying this double disc set??

It really depends on who you are...
First off let me say that I'm truely amazed that I have only heard of this release 3 months after it came out. Being a huge Sublime fan I'm usually on top of these things but this release seemed to have slipped between the crack. But I digress, onto the review. Here's the main sticking point of this release: If you're a big fan like I am and already have their 6 major releases (40oz. to Freedom, Robbin' the Hood, Sublime, Second Hand Smoke, Stand By Your Van, and Acoustic Bradley Nowell and Friends) there is nothing new here and while the tracks have been remastered there really isn't a great deal of difference between these and the origionals.

Hidden Treasure
I had never heard of Pepper until I was in Hawaii this last week and saw them at the Waikiki Shell with 311.They were an awesome band to see live, and if your looking for a sound that isn't blared all over the radio these guys are it.They do definetly remind me of Sublime, but with thier own Hawaiian twist.I recommend thier music to anyone.They should be on tour this summer with 311 so go and check them out.

Don't know what you're missing
Pepper is one of the sickest bands out there. I finally got to see them in concert on Saturday the 26th. I have all their CD's but it was awesome to see them in concert. You WILL NOT be disappointed with Pepper.

Ok ive heard some of they're stuff and ive read the editors description of Kona Hawaii, and seeing that ive been there hand have hung out with the locals of the town, its all very true.I am about to purchase this album because i really love the reggea scene that i saw while I was in Kona. ...

this band kicks. end of story
This band is the fourth and in my opinion best project tomas kalnoky has been involved with. This album is one of the only albums i can listen to in its entirety and not skip a track. i know the lyrics to every song and some of the beats in a way. its a great album.
A MUST OWN SKA ALBUM
I've had this CD for 3 years now and I never get sick of it. I've seen Streetlight Manifesto in concert twice and they're even better live then on CD. I can't get over this awesome CD. If you think this CD is great then also check out and try to find a band called Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. It was a side project Tomas did before he formed SM. They even did the song "Here's to Life". Also check out the re-release of Keasbey Nights the SM version. It's the same album as the Catch 22 release but it's done by SM and sounds a LOT better and some songs have extra lyrics to them.

Wow.
i'm not a kid, this is just easier.

Long Beach garage kings Sublime rode the cresting wave of late-'80s/early-'90s Cali punk to a well-received 1996 major-label debut whose success was overshadowed by tragedy: frontman Brad Nowell died of a heroin overdose just a month before its release. This 1994 album was their freshman indie outing and the record that largely secured their ticket to the majors. Instead of building on the energetic, if formulaic,punk-reggae fusion of their 1992 Read more

don't expect to be blown away
As someone else said, FOR FANS ONLY. Do not start at this CD whatever you do. A very layed back listen. A lot of remix dub type songs and it was very rushed. a follow up of the timeless masterpiece "40 oz. to Freedom". From the first song you can tell the CD isn't exactly super melodic and well thought out. it is great though, a lot of catchy tunes, easy listening. you don't have to think about it just cruise. I don't know how to classify sublime they are a whole bunch of genres put together but this CD is good stuff. not a lot of people know about it either. Buy 40 oz to get started but after that this will surely fit right in with the rest of your sublime collection.

great songs sadly brought down by a bunch of messing around
this album has some great sublime songs! songs like "saw red" "stepping razor" "greatest hits" and "all you need" are truely great...poolshark isnt that bad either...but many things on this sound too weird and much like a live recording would..with all the voiced talking and stuff like raliegh soliquies..or just demos.
Come join the sloppy drunken revelry!
Im a huge sublime and music fan, and this is probably my favorite album by sublime and my fav album of all time. Everything about sublime that i love, (the sloppy, randomness, vast range of musical styles, large amounts of bizarre dubs) is here to behold. I think this album shows more of the personality of Bradley and the band than any of the studio albums, everybody seems like they are having a great time, and I would love to think about Bradley jamming and having fun with lou-dog where ever he is.

sellout schmellout
I would like to start by bringing up a point...(well other than my opinion of this album which is a whole nother point in itself) anyway...a lot of people write this album off because of the departure of the sound from "..and out come the wolves". but for some STRANGE reason you rarely hear anyone complain about the vast sound differences from "lets go" to "..and outcome the wolves"."Lets go" was fast straight up punk rock 21 (or is 22 or 23? i can't remember) tracks..in less than 45 minutes. "..and out come the wolves" was a VERY different album.more mid tempo songs...with a few ska numbers (no waynot ska from the guys who were in op ivy) and at times sounds a lot like the Clash. don't get me wrong i LOVE both these records. Now onto "life won't wait" I absolultely love this record. When i firt picked this upon vinyl back in 1997 I was not really sure what i was hearing. But the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me. Over the years it has become my fav rancid album.It was a good range of a few musical styles straight up fast punk "warsaw" some mid tempo and slower punk songs "something in the world today" "1998" , "hoover st."some up beat ska "hooligans" a rockbailly influenced number "lady liberty" and some great reggae infleunced stuff "coppa de corzo", "awkward position" overall just fantastic...if you're looking for an album that is a lil more than just fast punk rock singing bout drinking, anarchy, and other fairly generic topics (which has it's place) this may not be the album for you..but if you're looking for something a lil different (who am i kidding? 90% of people reading probably already have or even own this record).

Rancid's Best Album!
I think Life Won't wait is Rancid's best effort to date. It's almost like Rancid going back to the good ol' Operation Ivy days. Not that this CD sounds like an Op. Ivy CD(cause it doesn't), but I get this strange but comfortable feeling whenever I listen to Op. Ivy's music, and I get that same feeling on a few points of this album.
Tis a good one!
1st of all, it's a shame that Rancid had to "prove themselves" after thsi album and what's more a shame is that they FELT they HAD to. To me that borders on selling out. Selling out doesn't have to do with money.

lacking a little
Overall, this is a good album and has a number of cool songs on it, which is why I rated it 4/5. "Drunk Daddy" is one of my favorites. =D
Exellent space-age 50's/60's lounge music with mystique
This cd is classic from beginnign to end.It reiks of martinis and hookah smoke, if you ever have a hookah party this cd is perfect background music, it's also great bachlor pad music, and martini party music.I listen to it whenever I make the L.A. to Vegas roadtrip.It is not traditional swing, but it is swing-dixieland-50's lounge-fusion, in fact there are more hints at dixieland music, than swing on this disc.The music is also very much influenced by lounge lp's of the 50's-60's especially the space age pop stuff.This cd has more in common with the music of Esquivel than Glenn Miller.The Sammy Davis Jr inspired "Come Back To Me" is awesome(though they say its Sinatra inspired).Zoot Suit Riot was a hit and has that 90's(Royal Crown Review. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Brian Setzer) swing sound, however I like the dixieland Louis Prima drenched Cherry Poppin Daddy Strut(I'm a Cherry Poppin Daddy Now), and Here Comes The Snake, which sounds so Sam Butera.Great fun disc!!!For it's unique genere it deserves 5 stars.

Good but Questionable
Yeah, this is a good album.I'd like it a WHOLE lot more though if the lyrics weren't so questionable.I'm trying to find a really good swing band [like this one] with good clean lyrics.Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is a good alternative. ... Read more

more horns
When I first bought in with the out crowd I was very dissapointed. It is nothing like Losing Streak. It's a pretty good cd, but it's not less than jake. There is way to much guitar and not enough horns.

The self-proclaimed "true fans" are overrating this album... we're now "In With the Pop Crowd", a.k.a. the 14 to 16-year-olds.
I don't know, guys.On track number three, I think something burst in my head and forced my arm to spasm towards the eject button.I put it on my shelf for a while, and now it's been a few months, and I listened to it again.I still think it's their worst album yet.I don't hate them for wanting to change their sound, but they didn't have to go to this extreme.Read on, though, I promise to not totally snub the album.There are a few decent songs on here.I'm not giving up on them yet, but I am a little annoyed with LTJ right now.
Best Album Yet
This is, by far, Less Than Jakes best album Since 'Losing Streak'.The albums released between 'Losing Streak' and 'In With the Out Crowd' were, dare I say, boring.Every song on this album has a different sound, but, at the same time, Less Than Jake manages to stay true to their ska roots.Bravo LTJ! ...

The REAL Keasbey Nights
I loved Keasbey Nights when it was released in 1998. It was a GREAT album and everytime I listened to it I loved it more and more and more. Then Tomas left and Catch 22 lost their sound. When Tomas left Catch 22 their sound left as well. Then Tomas formed Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution which only released one EP. Then after that Streetlight Manifesto was formed. Everything Goes Numb was the start of a great movement. Then in 2006 I heard word of SM redoing Keasbey Nights which puzzled me a bit but I couldn't wait. Then it finally came out and of course I bought it. Right from the start you can notice that this is not the same album at all. This album is like taking crude oil and refining it into gasoline. Catch 22's Keasbey Nights was crude oil and SM's Keasbey Nights is gasoline. This is the way Keasbey Nights was supposed to sound. Don't listen to others who say "oh this is the same damn CD as Catch 22's there's no difference here I waisted $$$ on this damn thing" f*ck them this CD is not the same. The only thing the same here is the title of the CD, the order of the songs, and the names of the songs. Besides that this is a completely different CD with some added lyrics to some of the songs. I guarantee you won't be disappointed by buying this. I sure as hell know I wasn't. I almost threw out the old Keasbey Nights after buying this it is that good.

Obviously clueless.
I've read some reviews of this album that say it's an exact duplicate of the original Keasbey Nights.These people obviously either don't listen well, or they don't understand music.There are so many differences, and I still find some when I listen to the album for the 100th time.The horn lines are nearly all more intricate, the bass on this album is absolutely astounding, there are lyrical alterations, and the solos are beautifully done.
dont fix whats not broken
to the guy who said he wished they would have changed more things...why? i can almost assure you if they changed anything extremely noticable people wouldnt like it.

great great great album, but.....!
first, i love this band and this album is a total classic and takes me back a few years. i would put this album on par with rancid 2000 and life wont wait. it defiantely is not as good as out come the wolves and their debut. i dont think any rancid album could be worse than indestructible.
Let's go-go-go!!!
I am a Clash fanatic who was tired of the lack of punk music from the 70's and early 80's. I saw Let's Go bought it and put it in my car CD player. I listened to it every day for a week and absolutely loved it. At first I was skeptical but man is it catchy. Some great songs and lyrics if you can understand them. But hey its not about clear vocals....The bas lines are awesome and almost rocka billy in some places but it all works. Classic tracks include Harry Bridges, Salvation, Radio and Nihilism but in a way all the songs have merit.
