sitting through a shitty band - SUBLIME POLL

40 oz to Freedom is dreadful. The songs with hooks suck and then the songs without hooks (which describes most of them) are painful to listen to. You have to have no concept of music or composition to think 40 oz is some kind of actual artistic statement rather than drug addled mix and match. Robbin the Hood is a glorified bootleg and isn't worth rating. At least the self-titled feels like a fully thought out album.

Badfish is probably their best song. their attempt at an Under the Bridge?

fuck this album

:) show your work Neanderthal

the guitar solo in "badfish" is badass

damn just listened after several years and well the solo's just a few reverb drenched notes but it's still cool. song sounds like "i second that emotion"

I heard a lot of 40 Oz to Freedom (tho not the whole thing) blasting every morning at Best Buy, those 4 am shifts during the holidays putting out merchandise/farming each morning, cos my boss played it for like two weeks.

so that might have uhhh soured me on it a little

Haha. That'll do it. Growing up as a coastal California kid as a teenager when sublime were at their peak this and the s/t were pretty much inescapable. Everyone loved them at my high school, stoners, punks, jocks, nerds w/e. I'm not sure how good it is tbf i haven't really listened in 15+ years. Badfish is def their best.

Badfish solo is so lazy and perfect yah

song sounds like "i second that emotion"

also see STP

"Badfish" seems to be the song even Sublime-haters like. My band learned it for some shows and it made me appreciate the restraint Sublime had to keep it so succinct. You can jam on that groove for a long time

This band is still inescapable in the Bay Area.

I tried some sublime w Rome youtubes just now and uh no thanks.

The best band of the nineties.

You mention Bill Clinton in every one of these pieces... lol

uh Poppy Bush
