ReviewsIncluded in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's.", Ranked #8 on Spin's list of the "20 Best Albums of '96.", "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, Ranked #48 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", "Slick and assured....All popular punk should be this original and intelligent.", "...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...", "...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...", 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...", Ranked #34 in the Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
