40 Oz. To Freedom by Sublime (Rock)

Pros: Everything.
Cons: None.

As a hip-hop listener from the age of 9, I haven't been really obsessed with any album from outside the genre with the exception of a few albums. 40 Oz To Freedom is one of those albums that I can listen to for days, weeks, months on end ...

Pros: Independent
Cons: NOne

Don't even start with me! Fifteen years old, and 40 oz. To Freedom sounds as new and grooved as the day I first heard it. Yet, it's first being reviewed? Top down, northbound on I-5 ready to nestle into Shasta, CA for a week or so, I was blessed by ...

Pros: 1. It's a Sublime album. 2. It's their best one.
Cons: 1. 24 tracks long - A couple of tracks could have been easily omitted.

From the moment first track, ``Waiting for my Ruca'', enters your brain, it will become obvious that Sublime are a laid back band. There's no gritty, sober, ashen-faced looks at the state of youth culture here, if you want that, I guess you'll have to...

Pros: Heart and soul Sublime.
Cons: ...

40oz to Freedom is one of the first CDs that I remember paying for myself. I was at a Cleveland Indians game in 1994, before the baseball strike, and PHISH was performing at Gund Arena, right next to Jacob's Field (at that time called GATEWAY)....

Pros: Strength in songs, great tunes, Great mood.
Cons: None.

A dog barks in the beginning of the cd. From the moment the first notes play in "Ruca" you begin to feel yourself at ease, you reach back to your remote and turn your cd player up a little. Curious about the track being played, you listen closely as ...

Pros: Bradley's Inspired Vocals, Eric's Thunderous Bass Lines, Bud's Beats, Amazing Tunes
Cons: Only 19 songs on the Album (22 is you have the Skunk Records version)

It was the summer of 1994 and I was at home in Orange County, out at a party, when I first heard what is my favorite album of all time. The album spoke to me on a number of levels. The band was "local," hailing from Southern California's Long...

Pros: Great blend of many different music styles
Cons: None

How many albums do you own that you can put in your CD player and have no desire to skip through most of the songs. Probably very few. Well if you don't own this one, then you are missing out, big time. I have owned this CD for about three years, and...

Pros: fun and entertaining
Cons: too many covers

While Sublime didn't hit mega-popularity until the release of their self-titled album and subsequent single "What I Got," most serious fans consider 40oz. to Freedom their best album by far. With over an hour of the familiar mix of punk, funk,...

Pros: a CD you can listen to over and over
Cons: not all CDs are made like this

Sublime is one of the best bands of the modern times. They made it big with “Santaria” and “What I Got.” But what about their earlier stuff? It’s great as well, if not better, than their self-titled album. Their Long beach attitude, excellent riffs, and...

Pros: excellent music
Cons: the album is labeled as "punk"

I've been a fan of Sublime for some time now,and even though they are no longer a band today,they will remain my favorite band for always.The original release of this album was limited,not many folks other than myself have this album.Two songs were taken...

Pros: A lot of originals and a few good covers, variety in musical style
Cons: A lot of the songs start with the same beat and progress from there

Where do I start?! Sublime's best album by far, 40 ozs. to Freedom is a combination of blues, funk, reggae, punk, and alternative that will be incomparable for some time to come. Sublime was a party band for a long time before they were ever to make it...

Pros: It's great
Cons: none

This album is the beginning of Sublime.
It is my favorite studio work that they've done.
If you like reggae, ska, or punk this album is for you.
It's the kind of music that just wakes me up and fills me with energy.
This album...

Pros: SUBLIME in all their greatness, long, good music
Cons: none

I have been a sublime fan for a really long time. I must say that this is my favrorite album of theirs. After listening to it you feel like you personally know Brad Noel. I am not saying that the other ones are bad or not great, they are, but this one...

Pros: Song for every mood.
Cons: none.

If someone were to survey my "essential CDs," the "desert island disks" that if I could only have a few albums to listen to for the rest of my life, which albums would I chose... well, this would be one of the first ones I'd name.
...

Pros: fun
Cons: poop

Sublime totally rawks!!!! They appeal to almost every type of person out there. They have a great beat, and sing about things we want to hear about.
My favorite song on this album is Smoke 2 Joints, they send it out to all the stoners of America....
