Sublime Explicit Lyrics
Description
Before the tragic death of singer/songwriter/guitarist
Brad Nowell this May, Sublime recorded their self-titled major label debut.
Produced by Butthole Surfer’s Paul Leary, the album is a study in versatility,
with 18 cuts ranging from dancehall to ska to psychedelic dub to rock to
hardcore punk and beyond. The band’s brand of genre-shifting experimentation
yields remarkable results in this recording, sure to capture their rabid,
grass-roots U.S. following. First single/video: “What I Got.” Parental
advisory sticker. For all his tattoos and bulked-up frat-boy
persona, singer Bradley Nowell had real soul, which made his fatal heroin
overdose even more tragic. There’s more to this Long Beach, California, trio’s
debut, released shortly after Nowell’s death in 1996, than white suburban
punks imitating Jamaican ska music. The band comes up with great songs,
notably the catchy MTV hit “What I Got”; spooky dub-reggae undertones,
produced by the Butthole Surfers’ Paul Leary, to go with the snappy horns; and
surprisingly progressive lyrics that attack sexism and other social ills,
especially on “Wrong Way.” Like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fishbone,
obvious forebears, Sublime become slightly tiresome after 17 songs, but the
band is great in short doses. –Steve Knopper
