But lead singer Brad Nowell died of a heroin overdose in May 1996, two months before this major-label debut was released. SUBLIME reveals a talented act whose songs were a brilliant mix of punk, reggae, hip-hop and dub. Sublime's ability to jump genres is showcased within a few bars of "What I Got." Amidst whistling, scratching and a rhythm copped from the Beatles' "Lady Madonna," Nowell's vocals glide from spoken-word to a toasting vibe. Pop culture also provided a handy source, particularly in "Caress Me Down," where porn star Ron Jeremy and G.I. Joe are mentioned amid reggae rhythms and Spanish lyrics.Although many of these songs have a fun, carefree aura, Sublime's darker side occasionally surfaces. The black humor of "April 29, 1992 (Miami)," which boasts of looting during the L.A. riots, gives way to the eerie foreshadowing of "Garden Grove," where in the middle of quirky samples and heavy reverb, Nowell casually sings of shooting up.

This record is in excellent condition, it has never been played. Note, there is a small split on the bottom of the clear plastic sleeve. US bidders only, please email with any questions.

Editorial Reviews

Slick and assured....All popular punk should be this original and intelligent.

Kerrang

3 (out of 5) - ...A trippy, funky, fun mix of punk, ska, rap, reggae and any number of other influences....SUBLIME is a mainly lackadaisical, relaxed, summertime-feel kind of disc...

RIP (19961001)

Ranked #34 in the Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.

Village Voice (19970225)

The recent overdose death of...Brad Nowell makes this both the first and last major-label release from SoCal fusion punks Sublime. It's a respectable testament--an unusual blend of ska rhythms, dub, and hardcore guitar rock, tinged with the occasional eerie hip-hop sample... - Rating: B

Entertainment Weekly (19960816)

...the consistency of SUBLIME...and the home demo `Robbin' The Hood'--is a singer/songwriter's triumph. Yet what makes Sublime such a gift to bland ol' modern rock is Nowell's irreducible personality, lunging after excesses he could see through but never resist...

Spin (19961201)

Ranked #8 on Spin's list of the 20 Best Albums of '96.

Spin (19970101)

Ranked #48 in Spin Magazine's 90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.

Spin (19990901)

...bright, wired bounce and the shell-game shuffle of funk beats, snappy Jamaican rhythms and mosh-pit, shout-it-out choruses in Nowell's writing--that's the stuff of a band with great promise and the confidence to make good on it...

Rolling Stone (19961226)

Included in Rolling Stone's Essential Recordings of the 90's.
