Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely on a four-track cassette in various living rooms and crackhouses, Sublime's wildly chaotic sophomore effort functions more as a lo-fi sound collage than a traditional album. Brad Nowell seamlessly blends acoustic reggae, abrasive punk, and hip-hop sampling, capturing the gritty, unfiltered reality of Southern California street life.
