Sadly, recent death of Sublime front man Brad Nowell has cut short a career that, based on this album alone, was extremely promising. [The] group toys with ska, hip-hop, reggae, punk, funk, and rock, mixing them all effortlessly and without pretension. Tunes like the catchy "Wrong Way," "Same In The End," "Santeria," and dope anthem "Get Ready" display a mastery of ska and reggae, while "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" is a hip-hop epic and the bilingual "Caress Me Down" is up to snuff with the best Latino rappers. Nowell himself said it prophetically: "They will be up all night trying to slap a label on Sublime." |
