Amazon.com Thank fans for this completist's dream: they petitioned the remaining members of the Sublime, a decade after Bradley Nowell's death by misadventure, to disgorge this collection of rarities, outtakes, and unreleased material. While a little overwhelming in its sheer volume, it deftly illustrates what a compelling shape-shifter Nowell was, even during his most discombobulated and boozy moments. Those unvarnished moments are captured here--taken from backstage parties, live radio shows, and their very first demos--along with some of the bands' more formed moments, whether sharing a stage with Gwen Stefani or being remixed by Long Beach crony Snoop Dogg before he became Top Dogg. Whether channeling the acerbic and fearless sound of Bad Brains (H.R. appears here on a cover of his "Shame in Dem Game"), duplicating the vocal idiosyncrasies and guitar angst of Jimi Hendrix on a song like "Voodoo (Part 2)," or inhabiting the righteous ire of "Catch a Fire" Bob Marley, this collection is a sonic history of a band in the process of becoming one the more seminal purveyors of ska punk, and multiplatinum artists as a result. An evolutionary history, really, this exhaustive collection includes some rather revelatory film footage, including an impish MTV interview prior to their Warped Tour appearance and another one conducted in tandem with Washington, D.C., hardcore avatars Minor Threat. --Jaan Uhelszki Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsSublime Box DVD Easter Egg DVD King | So Cal | 04/25/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Check out the two easter eggs on the boxset's DVD, live versions of "Pool Shark" and "DJ". To access "DJ," on the Main Menu keep the highlight on the option for 'Roll It' and press the arrow keys on your DVD remote in this order: Right, Down, Left, Up, Right, Down, Left, Up. This will automatically play the clip. To access "Pool Shark," on the second menu page for 'The Cuts' put the highlight on "Main Menu" and press the arrow keys on your DVD remote in this order: Right, Left, Right, Left, Up, Up, Down, Down. This will change the highlight to the color green and then press the Enter/OK button on your remote to access it. And if you haven't taken the time to notice, each menu is a full-length song, bonus tracks in their own right." Decent collection for true fanatics Stephen B. Ring | 11/15/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "This box set is a good buy for die-hard fans, but I would guess most of them have already acquired most of these rarities one way or another. As one of those fans, I was surprised that certain songs were not included, such as "Kingstep Dub", "Romantic Girl", "Saw Red/Bandelero", and the original mix of "Get Out!". Also, I was disappointed with the lack of liner notes. With all the cover songs, resung lyrics, reworked versions, and recycling of classic reggae riddims, I was hoping for notes on how Bradley Nowell came to use this material -- I think it would have benefitted fans who don't have an appreciation of Sublime's overwhelmingly Jamaican influences. Plus, these influences need to be given credit: Don Carlos (beginning part of "Lou Makes Friends" taken from his "Lazer Beam"), Half Pint ("Great Stone", parts of "At It Again" from his "Dancehall Vibes"), Yellowman (parts of "Roots of Creation" from his "Mi Believe/Summer Holiday"), Roots Radics/Barrington Levy ("Soundcheck Jam" riddim is from their "Send a Moses"), iNi Kamoze ("Doin' Time" line from his "Jump for Jah")... among others. The DVD of live material and video collages is worth a look, although I admit I skipped through a lot of it. Even though I'm a big fan of Sublime, I can't deny that their live performances lacked professionalism. It was obvious that they didn't rehearse enough for their shows, and even Sublime collaborator Marshall Goodman commented (in the documentary "Stories, Tales, Lies, & Exaggerations") on how Bradley was frequently so intoxicated that he couldn't perform well and often stopped playing his guitar mid-song. Perhaps I'm expecting too much from a band that originally played shows for beer. Anyway, highlights of this box set for me were "Ball & Chain", "Perfect World", "Get Out!" (acoustic), "Foolish Fool", and definitely the awesome acoustic versions of "Wrong Way" and "New Realization". Worth buying for these few gems, but I think casual listeners may find some of the other material to be sloppy." Perfection Mark Himself | 02/19/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is an amazing box set, and well worth the price tag. It's great to hear all of the songs I enjoyed on bootlegs totally remastered, it's like they're brand new again. Only disappointment was the censoring of the song "89 Vision". The original bootleg had a lot more lyrics that they took out of this one for some reason. Other than that, I don't have any complaints. And would reccomend this to any Sublime fan out there (just make sure to download the REAL version of 89 Vision)"
