  Sublime Spot - About Sublime
SUBLIME is a style and a vibe encompassing music, attitude, and alternative meets hip-hop, and surf-skate fashion which remains most apparent in the young and growing audience which the band attracts at every show.
The story of Sublime is full of sad, strange twists, but this is perhaps the strangest: Since frontman Brad Nowell overdosed before his band became a phenomenon, before he had a chance to become a bona fide rock star, his death has been oddly free of the mythic impact of so many rock star flameouts.
Sublime's success has come as a slow-building surprise, rather than in a rush of mourning, and it's been based on the sweet fun Nowell cooked up during his too-short 28-year love affair with punk, hip-hop, reggae and whatever other music he could lay his hands on.

Sublime's eponymous major-label debut arrived a few months after the band's leader, Brad Nowell, died tragically of a heroin overdose.
Sublime sags when the band delves too deeply into their dub aspirations or when their lyrics slide into smirking humor.
The low moments don't arrive that often -- by and large, the album is quite engaging -- but they happen frequently enough to make the record a demonstration of the band's blossoming ability, but not the fulfillment of their full potential.

Formed in Long Beach, CA, in 1988 as a garage punk band, Sublime grew to fame in the mid-'90s on the back of the Cali punk explosion engendered by Green Day and the Offspring, though Sublime mixed up their punk rage with reggae and ska influences.
It was Sublime's last, however, as lead singer Brad Nowell died in May 1996, just two months before the album's release.
Mostly due to the radio exposure, Sublime signed to MCA for 1994's Robbin' the Hood, which revealed an experimental ethic more in keeping with cut-and-paste dub than the well-tuned rage of the Cali punk revival.

Sublime is not spoken of much in the press, never being either popular or obscure enough to gain people's attention.
Sublime may have been party music, and they may have never been pretentious enough to do concept albums, but they keep on returning to concepts on this album, and if they do it unintentionally, it only makes it more meaningful.
If you listen to any Sublime album, particularly this one, you will see that Brad Nowell makes many references to his religious belief (that, although perhaps not doctrinal, and far from puritanical, are obviously very emotionally intense), and to his possession of firearms.

Sublime's new album is called "Second-Hand Smoke," but a better title might be "Hints, Allegations and Things Left Unsaid."

The album was a major commercial success, going triple-platinum and etching Sublime into a permanent place among the patrons of mid-90s alternative rock.
The musical styles throughout the album vary nearly as much as the subjects discussed, ranging from the mellow groove of "Doin' Time" and reggae beat of "Caress Me Down" to the pop-rock "What I Got" and the hard-punk sound of "Same in the End".
The genre-crossing musical diversity expressed on the album is one of the more compelling reasons for the record's wide mainstream appeal.

 SUBLIME — ( Sublime Album )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
More than a single swaggering rock star has come off as limp and self-loving, and thoughtful chanteuses have gone sappy or sour--which is why saluting the California garage punks of Sublime makes a lot of sense.
For one thing, it's nearly impossible to screw up the collapsed band's sunny, to-hell-with-it vibe--its music is a mood encapsulated--and for another, any artist cool enough to take on one of its songs knows instinctively to embrace the ska sensibility and not skimp on energy.
A single caveat: Hipsters who followed Sublime in its mid-90s heyday and have since had kids should order tiny earplugs with their copies.

Opie Ortiz is the man responsible for creating the large "Sublime" tattoo (which also serves as the Sublime album cover and primary band logo) stretched across Bradley Nowell's back.
For their album covers, Sublime has relied on Ortiz's inspired artwork.
The glowing sun on the cover of 40oz's to freedom, for instance was originally an airbrushed t-shirt design, and the drunken clown on the inside cover of Sublime was originally a sketch doodled during a stoned-out conversation about how they had spent their summer vacations.

A great mix of ska/punk follows with tracks such as date rape and pool shark, but when the album had run its course i have to say i was left asking where "same in the end" had gone.
But despite this, a greatest hits album this certainly is, and to add to the awesome collection of tracks you get, it also comes with bonus video clips which are a must have for any sublime fan.
For anyone who hasn;t yet been introduced to sublimes music, this is a great place to start, as it gives you a taste of all varieties of sublime, from their slower paced mellow tracks to their quicker ska/punk stylings.

This album is filled with so much soul in the form of wonderfully played rhythms and great lyrics.
Although I prefer Sublime's chilled-out side I also love their punkier side which can be heard in songs like 'Seed' and 'Same in the End'.
