Synopsis

Album Description
"An impressively diverse cast of musicians from a wide range of genres [show] just how much Sublime's music transcends classification ... nothing short of stellar." - ALL MUSIC GUIDE "Deliciously eclectic." - CMJ "A tribute to Sublime as big as Bradley Nowell's heart and as expansive as the band's musical vision." - OC WEEKLY The evening of October 24, 2005 was one very special night in music. The Music Box at Fonda Theater played host to Look at All the Love We Found: A Tribute to Sublime LIVE, a benefit concert to honor and celebrate the legacy of one of most influential bands of the nineties as well as to raise funds for those in need. Artists like Los Lobos, Unwritten Law, Ozomatli, Blackalicious, Fishbone, and The Ziggens came together for one night only to put on a show for the ages. And, to top it off, many of the artists from the evening (as well as some surprise special guests) teamed up to belt out Sublime classics in the ultimate jam session. Now, everyone can relive that magical night with this special CD+DVD combo! The audio CD contains never-before-heard covers of Sublime hits and fan favorites, from a brand-new studio recording of "Ebin" by The Banned with Chuck D (Public Enemy) to a rockin' live version of Fishbone's "Date Rape." These incredible tracks were not featured on the Look at All the Love We Found CD, and can only be found here! The DVD features include a performance of "Pawn Shop" with original Sublime member Bud Gaugh on drums, a music video for Fishbone's version of "Date Rape," and backstage interviews with Los Lobos, MURS, Unwritten Law, and more. It also includes an in-depth photo slideshow and a behind-the-scenes look at the all-star jam rehearsal that included Stephen Perkins (Jane's Addiction), Ikey Owens (The Mars Volta), Eric Wilson (Sublime), and many more. The celebratory spirit behind tribute albums doesn't suit every subject. More than a single swaggering rock star has come off as limp and self-loving, and thoughtful chanteuses have gone sappy or sour--which is why saluting the California garage punks of Sublime makes a lot of sense. For one thing, it's nearly impossible to screw up the collapsed band's sunny, to-hell-with-it vibe--its music is a mood encapsulated--and for another, any artist cool enough to take on one of its songs knows instinctively to embrace the ska sensibility and not skimp on energy. What we get with Look at All the Love, is a party with all the right props. No Doubt was an obvious choice and, on the disc's only live track, "DJ's," Gwen Stefani turns in a mid-speed sway-and-bobber; Jack Johnson chills on "Badfish/Boss DJ"; G. Love goes for funk-rock broke with "Greatest Hits"; and the artful Greyboy Allstars send "Doin Time" to jazz school. A single caveat: Hipsters who followed Sublime in its mid-90s heyday and have since had kids should order tiny earplugs with their copies. Fishbone does an admirable job with "Date Rape," but it's still as profane as ever. --Tammy La Gorce

"the" album of 2005
tda | nj | 06/21/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"After a long, long, long wait this superb album is finally out. It does not disappoint one bit. Each of the artists puts their own spin on the covered songs. Highlights include J.Johnson making "Badfish" into a classic once again. Josh from Bargain Music does justice to "Get Out" by adding verses on how he came in touch with Sublime. Fishbone "ska-up" "Date Rape". No Doubt does a live cover of "DJ's". Avail speeds up "Santeria" which works surprisingly well. Bass diety Mike Watt lays down a mean one of "Work That We Do". Greyboy Allstars lay down some jazz knowledge on the already jazz influenced "Doin' Time". Not surprisingly many tracks on this album undoubtedly could turn into huge hits however knowing the nature of the record business this will not happen since the cd doesn't have major label support. Overall this album is a must for any Sublime fans or even fans of the bands participating in this project. Also the cd itself comes with a short interesting bookled shedding some light on how Sublime affected the bands involved."

"bradley would be glad to hear this..it's a really awesome cd with awesome covers by all who are on it. i didn't think i would like every song on this but i do except maybe for grayboy allstar's cover of doin' time (it drags on to me). otherwise every cover from jack johnson's "badfish/boss dj" to watts/haden's cover of "work that we do" is awesome. the only thing other then grayboy allstars cover that was a bit of a downner for me was no doubt's live cover..it's an old live cover, you would like to think that those guys could update it in the studio. those are just tiny things though that i'm sure i'll get over, over time. what counts is that this cd is awesome and you should really pick it up if your a sublime fan or even if you wanna hear something different such as different takes on great sublime songs. it's well worth the money."
If you are a true sublime you'll want to hear this

"Obviously no one can do a Sublime song better than Sublime but what I like about this album is how everyone put their own style into each of the songs. They didn't try to sound like Sublime but at the same time, you can still imagine Sublime being involved with the making of these songs. The book insert has a little input from each artist on what Sublime meant to them which I enjoyed reading.



Notable tracks are Jack Johnson's version of Badfish/Boss DJ and Abstract Rude's Waiting for my Ruca. Los Lobos did a great job on Pawn Shop as well."
