Ska music has been deeply ingrained in the punk rock culture since the Clash adopted their rude boy stance near the end of the British punk invasion and the 2-Tone label put ska on the map. Suddenly, punks stopped kicking the crap out of each other long enough to dance. The debut release by Orange County, California's Sublime is a positively infectious record that marries varied styles of dub, reggae, rap, sampling, scratching, and badass dancehall ska with old-school punk overtones. Musicianship on this record is exceptionally tight, featuring Brad Nowell's innovative guitar work and bright, soulful voice. Packed with 40 oz. of rock (21 tracks) including the ultimate pot-smoking anthem "Smoke Two Joints" and the novelty hit "Date Rape." --Gail Worley

In my opinion, this CD has some of the best songs Sublime ever recorded. It is a must-have for any Sublime fan!
My Reason For Loving Music June 3, 2008
I was in 7th grade when I got this CD and so began my love for music. I memorized this CD inside and out, every note, every lyric. A friend of mine said that the first album by a band is always the best becuase it is pure and just for the love of making music. In this case this statement is true, although I give a 5 star rating to the rest of their albums as well. Sublime does not limit their style to one genre which is just one of the reasons they are the greatest band ever.

I am very satisfied with the product that I purchased. I received it in a timely manner and the CD was in perfect condition. The price was very satisfactory. This is one of my favorite albums and I was very happy to find such a great deal.
Perfect-anyone who has worn out the self titled album, but want more Sublime, BUY THIS January 6, 2008

This is an excellent album. If you got a kick out of the self titled album, then a guarentee that you will, to say the least, like this album. Sublime, as a band, makes excellent albums. All of the tracks are usually listenable, and they are truly talented. If you like reggae, rock, hip-hop, or just need an album to chill to, this is great. It's funny to me, only two songs really got any attention, "Badfish" and "Date Rape" both of which are great songs, and are the to some people, the definition of a true Sublime song. Either chilled, reggae, like "Badfish" or just a really fun song with great vocals like "Date Rape". While I love hearing songs like these, my favorite songs are the songs where Nowell talks in first person, just as a normal guy. 40 oz to freedom is just a great album to relate to, as a guy. He had a cool lifestyle, and I think 40 oz to freedom describes it well. It's fun to listen to, and there might be a couple tracks you don't like, but I'm pretty sure most Sublime fans will enjoy this album pratically in its entirety after a few listens. Highly reccomended.
Genius October 19, 2007
Once in a rare while we are graced with a musical genius that changes music in very profound and subtle ways. Brad was one of those genius' that could mix styles, add a bit of his own mojo, and create something completely new. Like SRV, Brad's genius is catapulted forward by an amazing band. Like SRV Brad's stopped making music way too soon. A true loss. I don't use the word lightly, Brad was a musical genius.
This album is expansion in the number of styles represented. All are done well and with their own stamp. Buy it now.
