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. --Steve Knopper

This is a two-disc deluxe 10th anniversary edition.

Product Description

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the self-titled Sublime album and to pay tribute to Bradley Nowell’s original vision, the long-awaited, two disc Sublime Deluxe Edition is released. Anyone familiar with the explosion of alternative rock in the 1990s knows one of the greatest injustices of the period was that Sublime singersongwriter-guitarist Bradley Nowell did not live to see the release and massive success of Sublime. Before the final album was originally released, it was re-sequenced and the lyrics to the song Doin’ Time were edited due to sampling clearance restrictions. The 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition features Bradley’s original vision & sequence on disc one, featuring Trenchtown Rock, the song that Bradley originally wanted to start the album with but was taken off entirely instead, and Bradley’s original vocals for the song Doin’ Time. Disc Two contains 15 bonus tracks with 8 unreleased tracks including instrumental versions.

5.0 out of 5 stars good stuff, August 15, 2006

please don't listen to the review of steve knopper, since he has no idea what he's talking about. this is the album that made sublime a name in the mainstream, with classic tracks like 'what i got', 'wrong way', 'doin time' and 'santeria'. but as good as those songs are, they aren't the whole album, the album from track 1 to 18 is awesome music. this album does not get "tiresome after 17 songs" and the band isn't "great in short doses". knopper is a tool and doesn't know good music. this is good music in long non-stop doses. it doesn't matter if it's summer, fall, winter, spring, whatever time of the year it is, it's always good to listen to sublime. this is just good stuff and you won't be dissapointed, pick up this disk and the other sublime cds. the 2nd disk is cool with rare tracks and a few videos. this is a must have for any sublime fan.

Finally, Sublime as it was originally intended to be released. The second cd has some awesome tracks, Doin' Time (Uptown Dub) being my favorite. Alternate versions and remixes are greatly welcomed in this cd. This is a must for any true fan. I'm from Long Beach, CA and couldn't be prouder of my band, Sublime.

Everybody loves this album; why else would you have clicked on the icon in order to view the product?

Everybody knows that the album has been re-sequenced in order to comply with Bradly Nowell's original sequence. I have listened to this album for so long, that it will take a while to RE-ADJUST to the new sequence of the songs!

Also, everybody knows that this album comes with a supplimental disc with extra goodies! The second disc contains several priceless songs- especially the accoustic material which has been included. In my OPINION, the accoustic tracks make the second disc the gem of the whole collection.

This release is a no-brainer for the fans.
