A Must Have CD,
This review is from: 40 Oz. to Freedom (Audio CD)
Sublime were one of the greatest bands to ever roam the music road. Unfortunately, they didn't get the recognition they deserved until Brad Nowell's untimely death.40 oz. To Freedom is by far the best, deepest and most ambitious CD featuring dubs, raps, a bit of thrash, ska, punk and reggae. This CD will grow on you until you cannot live without your daily Sublime fix. I've had the CD since 1999 and I can say I still love listening to it as much now as on the day I bought it. Standout tracks include Don't Push, Date Rape, Ebin, 5446/Ball and chain, and Scarlet Begonias.

Why don't you buy this DanB?,
By A Customer
This review is from: 40 Oz. to Freedom (Audio CD)
This is where it all started for Sublime, and as you listen you can practically hear the energy of the band at work. The songs deal with differant themes-fachism, rape, oral sex, "smoking two joints", but they all are recorded in a relaxed laid back manner, more typical of reggae than "ska-punk" in which Sublime are pigeon-holed. If you listen to the later self titled album then you will hear a contrast as later on Sublime did become more punk. Bradley Nowell's guitar work can be compared to the likes of Bob Marley and I personally think he deserves the same status as the afore-mentioned legend. It is difficult to pick out the best songs on this fine album as they are all of classic quality, although "date rape" and "smoke two joints" are the catchiest. Download one of the tracks from this page and if you like it buy the CD, then you will see why it is worth 5-stars.

One of the best albums ever made.,
This review is from: 40 Oz. to Freedom (Audio CD)
This has to be one of the most diverse and eclectic album's that I have ever heard, Tinged by the bands Massive taste in music we are treated to Punk (We're only gonna die), Stripped down Dub (Waiting for my Ruca), Feel good Reggae (Badfish)And hip hop (Scarlet begonias), The genius of the band is hard to find in some songs but after a couple of times of listening Brad Nowells creativity shines through, Underpinned by Eric Wilsons Bass and Bud Gaughs Ever reliable drumming, A must for all fans of this Much missed band.
