Album Review

With their debut, 40 Oz. to Freedom, Sublime appeal to alterna-punks but they cut a little deeper with their lyrics and their very aesthetic, which blends different cultures and sounds. Since Sublime have a knack for combining dancehall reggae with hardcore punk, the music can be nervy and invigorating, but the group's joyous blend of cultures gets nervy on the lyrical level, particularly on the controversial "Date Rape."

Customer Reviews

Don't be scammed! revised...

They say that this is a partial album, but every song is there with the exception of bradley's tip o' the hat to Bad Religion! Looks they just want to make as much money as possible. Buy this album at any other site for half the price and get an extra song! Don't mess with the fans! Bradley lives! -m

Make It Available

I'm not going to take back my one-star rating for this fine, five-star record- until Apple, the new Disney, stops putting it at the bottom of the SUBLIME List, and selling it as a partial album- so that they get a dollar per song when these songs should never be separated. Except Date Rape. "Buy Song"- buy Apple. You, Steve, should have been here and looked at this by now man, if you were using your own products. I still like you, Steve. But let's sell 40 oz. of Freedom- one of the top ten underground albums of the nineties with Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Nevermind- coming later and confirming everybody, from gangstas to deadheads and every pot-smoking, beer-drinking, scarface-watching, coffee drinking, trend-follower of the gen-x parade. Still, this is the only rip to first, flawlessly mend punk to reggae, rock, ska, and blues, and funk. This album sorely rocks- and again I change my plea to address Apple in their need to either bring us the album, or the head of whoever's in charge.

He went before his time

This groundbreaking debut from the SoCal ska-punk-hiphop-reggae trio got little to no attention at the time of it's release; with the band not to be "discovered" until their eponymous 3rd studio album. Sublime was a group unlike any other, with the ability to combine musical genres seamlessly; creating a sound unlikely to ever be accurately imitated. Bradley James Nowell, the lead singer, died on May 25th 1996, on a heroin overdose, leaving behind a wife and a newborn baby. Brad had a lot more love to give, and everyone knew it. Sublime's potential was stunted by an imaginable vicissitude, and he will be greatly missed by musicians and musical appreciators everywhere. Sublime's spirit will live on; the music will never die.

Years Active: '80s, '90s

Formed in 1988 as a garage punk band, Sublime rose to fame in the mid-'90s on the back of the California punk explosion engendered by Green Day and the Offspring, though Sublime boosted their punk influences with heavy elements of reggae and ska. The band released only two albums during its first seven years, and finally found mainstream success with a self-titled release in 1996. It proved to...
