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.

This Cd was put out after Bradley Died.... and is poor quality. However if you are a die hard sublime fan and need some more Sublime than this is an amazing cd! i love it. Brads obviously quite drunk while singing most of it... but there are hints of his immense musical talent heard throughout the cd

I recall someone saying that the quality of this album is bad, but that's because this is a compilation of rare demos and live tracks.... they weren't professionally recorded in a studio, making this a CD full of rare treasures. Don't buy this unless you truly like Sublime's music. I do think they could have had a longer version of "Wrong Way", though... 45 seconds isn't nearly enough. But the rest of the songs are great!!! This is a great way to remember Bbradley Nowell and I sure hope the profits go towards the Nowell family to help support Bradley's child.

This is a great album, but only from the standpoint that Brad was a great artist. The recording quality is that of a bootleg, which, essentially, it is. You will find that you already own all the songs on it, just sung without drunken crowds, and in recording studios, on other albums.

I bought it because I'm a nut for sublime. I like the album. And I pull it out every once in a while to listen to it (I especially like "Saw Red")... But I find myself more reaching for Second Hand Smoke or 40oz more often.

You can put this album in the "Robbin' the Hood" category. Robbin' was a great album (and one of my all time favorites), but really difficult to listen to for very long or continually.

Art, but tragic art.

this album is not for the average sublime fan, please dont buy this if you dont know anything about brad and sublime. the only people who will truly appreciate this album are the true fans, you will notice bits from previous songs that are changed, put together and looped together all right on the spot by brad. sure it dosnt sound the best, sure it isnt his best work, but you know what, who cares, its brad doing what he loved so for all of you who wrote a bad review, go buy some nsync and stop talking bad about my beloved brad and the lbda crew.
