4 out of 5 stars One of the last documents we will see from the great Bradley Nowell........2006-01-16

Let's face it: Sublime had charisma; they had energy; they had it all, but they weren't exactly the tightest band when it came to their live shows. Not that it mattered; Sublime's performances depended upon many things: energy; spontanaeity; and, ultimately, what their audiences gave them in return. But even then, those things didn't elevate the shows to godly heights. Sometimes... well, more than sometimes, Brad was simply off his nut, and all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't tighten things up as they should have been.

But it doesn't matter now, does it?

Listening to this cd is the musical equivalent of hanging out at a laid back party, having a beer and a b**g-hit, chillin' with your buddies and groovin' to some sweet music brought to you courtesy Bradley Nowell, one of the greater songwriters of the last twenty years. While it's incredibly rich on atmosphere, Brad doesn't exactly nail it in every song. A lot of the time it sounds as though he's already had more to drink or smoke than you have, but hey, again, it doesn't matter, because these last few records from Sublime will serve as the final documents of a superbly brilliant songwriter, the likes of which we won't see again for some time.

Nowell wrote from the heart and he sang his heart at every step. Few singers have shown themselves to be as emotionally direct or as honest as he had been. He wasn't overly preoccupied with finger pointing or rooting out hypocrites as lesser songwriters are apt to do. He was genuine, and he wasn't afraid to wear it on his sleeve, flaws and all.

Bye, Brad.


5 out of 5 stars THE BEST.......2005-06-12

This is by far the best of Bradley. You can hear him but his heart in every song on this cd. RIP Bradley Nowell

3 out of 5 stars Eh definitley not the best..........2005-04-04

DO NOT GET THIS CD IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY OWN 40 OZ AND SELF TITLED.

I grew up on Sublime and have a great appreciation for their music, but I didnt really like this cd. It didnt seem to capture the essence of Sublime. I would get it if you have been a long time Sublime fan and need to complete your collection...if this will be your first Sublime cd, do not get this one...buy 40 Oz to Freedom or the Self titled cd (40 oz is better)...anyway yeah. I sold this cd actually...

5 out of 5 stars This album rules!!!!!!.......2004-09-20

Don't hate on this cd, it's one of those that any sublime addict would love to have. There's just a lot of raw drunken emotion, but that's what makes it interesting and funny.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome Acoustic Album.......2004-09-07

If you like this album you should check out Joe Sneva. www.joesneva.com I saw him when I was in Seattle. He's got a cool acoustic rap sound just like this album.
