(“sublime” is the 3rd (and final) studio album by american ska punk band “sublime”)
“ska punk” you say?”
“are you sure?”
“why i’ve never heard something so utterly ridiculous…”
.
(produced by ‘paul leary’ + ‘david kahne’, the album was released on ’30 july 1996′ in the ‘united states’ by ‘MCA RECORDS’)
.
(‘sublime’ formed in ‘1988’ in ‘long beach’ (/ ‘california’) by…)
“bradley nowell”
*vocals + guitars*
“eric wilson”
*bass*
“bud gaugh”
*drums*
.
(the trio toured heavily from their inception while developing their sound)
(their first studio release — 40 Oz. to Freedom (1992) — featured the single “date rape”, which attracted heavy airplay in ‘southern california’)
(‘MCA’ signed the band and distributed their 2nd independent album (robbin’ the hood ) in ‘1994’)
(by the time it came to record their ‘major label debut’, ‘nowell’ had been struggling with a ‘heroin addiction’)
(“sublime” was recorded over a period of 3 months in ‘austin’ (/ ‘texas’) in sessions characterized by ‘heavy drug use’ + ‘raucous partying’)
“partying” you say?
(why not ‘celebrate’ AFTER the album is recorded?)
(i could ssay the same for that other great california band ‘fleetwood mac’)
(while they recorded ‘rumours’)
(but in both cases the album became a seminal part of the band’s legacy)
(the album’s ‘musical style’ contains elements of (‘punk rock’ / ‘reggae’ / ‘ska’), as well as (‘dancehall’ / ‘hip hop’ / ‘dub music’), with tempos ranging wildly)
.
(nowell’s lyrical subject matter relates to…)
“relationships”
“prostitution”
“riots”
“addiction”
.
(‘nowell’ had been ejected from the recording near its completion, and was found dead of a ‘heroin overdose’ in ‘may 1996’, 2 months prior to its release, leading to the band’s dissolution)
(bolstered by numerous hit singles, among them “what i got”, “santeria”, and “wrong way”, the record proved enormously successful, despite the band being defunct and thus not promoting the album through touring)
(it sold over 5 million copies in the ‘united states’ by the end of the decade, and it continues to be a ‘popular catalog album’)
(the album ushered in “third wave ska”, and etched ‘sublime’ into a permanent place among the stars of ‘1990s alternative rock’)
(critical reviews were positive, praising nowell’s songwriting ability and the album’s musical variety)
.
*the album has since been listed as one of the most well-regarded albums of the 1990s by “spin” + “rolling stone”*
