This album is the essential Subilme album. Not only is it Bradley & Co. at their best but it shows the passion that Brad had for love, life, and music. You can feel what he feels when listening to the live renditions. It is just Brad stripped down to his soul. If I could only have one Sublime album, this would be it.

With a CD like this the inevitable question has to be, why? Why press into a CD a collection of songs containing mainly tracks recorded over a room full of people talking? It seems like Nowell is actually getting in the way of people's conversations in a bar and that for all they care the music is coming from a slightly harsh sounding Jukebox in the corner. Nobody appears to be even aware that he is even there.
The rest of the tracks are the type you would expect as fillers between actual songs on a decent album, here they are the album!
Strictly for the undiscerning.

One of the last documents we will see from the great Bradley Nowell.
16 Jan 2006
Format:Audio CD
Let's face it: Sublime had charisma; they had energy; they had it all, but they weren't exactly the tightest band when it came to their live shows. Not that it mattered; Sublime's performances depended upon many things: energy; spontanaeity; and, ultimately, what their audiences gave them in return. But even then, those things didn't elevate the shows to godly heights. Sometimes... well, more than sometimes, Brad was simply off his nut, and all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't tighten things up as they should have been.
But it doesn't matter now, does it?
Listening to this cd is the musical equivalent of hanging out at a laid back party, having a beer and a b**g-hit, chillin' with your buddies and groovin' to some sweet music brought to you courtesy Bradley Nowell, one of the greater songwriters of the last twenty years. While it's incredibly rich on atmosphere, Brad doesn't exactly nail it in every song. A lot of the time it sounds as though he's already had more to drink or smoke than you have, but hey, again, it doesn't matter, because these last few records from Sublime will serve as the final documents of a superbly brilliant songwriter, the likes of which we won't see again for some time.
Nowell wrote from the heart and he sang his heart at every step. Few singers have shown themselves to be as emotionally direct or as honest as he had been. He wasn't overly preoccupied with finger pointing or rooting out hypocrites as lesser songwriters are apt to do. He was genuine, and he wasn't afraid to wear it on his sleeve, flaws and all.
Bye, Brad.

This CD captures the raw intensity of the late Brad Nowell
20 Nov 1998
Format:Audio CD
I am a long time listener of sublime, and I greatly enjoyed this album. Sublime for years has been well known for its ability to mix a wide variety of styles. This CD captures the laid back acoustic songs that were only hinted in previous albums. It shows the raw power that Bradley held, and once again shows us that Bradleys death was truly a tragic one. This album also delivers a new look at some old favorites such as "Don't Push", and "Wrong Way". I would recommend this album to any fan of sublime, or anyone who has a love for good music. Through this album, Brad lives on.

Very good, but...
12 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
When I first listened to this album, starting on track 1, I had concerns that I had made a mistake buying the cd. I've probably never heard Wrong Way sound more terrible. But I fortunately listened to the entire cd and found that most of the cd was quite good. What no one here mentions though is that Wrong Way, Mary/Big Salty Tears, Garden Grove, and KRS-One (all played at the same place: 'Cattleman's Wharf, Anaheim, CA' according to the CD case) sound horrible. I'm under the suspicion that Bradley was profusely drunk when he sang this, and it is definitely not Sublime's finest hour. However, every other song on the cd is fine. I personally fell in love with Don't Push, finding it a refreshing change from the punked out release from 40 oz. to freedom. And that happens a lot on the cd which shows a softer edge to some of Sublime's more reputable releases. Some of my favorite songs on here are Saw Red, Boss D.J., Marley Medley, Freeway Time In L.A. County Jail, and like I said before Don't Push. Yes the recording quality is not fantastic, but it serves all general needs and purposes and seems to just give the cd more character making me like it all the more. You get more of the feeling of who this guy was listening to this cd, then any of the other cd's released from the group. And that would be almost enough to get it five stars if it weren't for the [people]who put together this cd, adding the songs from the wharf to fill up space and make it releasable. It would have been better if they'd have just made it a 11 track cd. All in all though, it's a great cd and I suggest that if you are a fan of Sublime that you buy it.
