I'm a retardedly big fan of Sublime, and Brad Nowell is one of my musical heroes, despite the rating I give this album. My major beef with Sublime's legacy is that Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh are extremely overshadowed as the remaining 2/3 of the music makers. This record is a bare, stripped down outing with mainly Brad on his acoustic. This is good for fans since it offers up a bit of a bare look at the song composition of fan favourites and helps to showcase Brad's voice yet again. The lack of performance from other band members is frustrating, but this last look at "new" material is all we have, and it should be cherished in its own right for that.
