| | Best Of Sublime: 20th Century Masters Of The Millennium Collection CD Sublime Discography of CDs
This is part of MCA Records "20th Century Masters The Millenium Collection" series.
In something of a departure for the 20TH CENTURY MASTERS series, usually associated with classic pop performers, California ska-punk artists Sublime are here given the greatest hits treatment. A bridge between the late-1980s ska-punk revival and the later poppier efforts of acts such as Barenaked Ladies, the band split following the death of its singer Brad Nowell in 1996, but its influence and energy are still very much apparent in this collection.
With only three albums to choose from, the compilation's 10 tracks are a fairly comprehensive overview of Sublime's eight-year career. The proceedings kick off with "Date Rape," a lurid yet oddly perky number that recalls the early days of UK ska rockers the Specials, both musically and in its social commentary. The rest of the release skews towards the band's pop-reggae output, including "What I Got" and "Santeria." Devoid of the flashy production tricks of many of its peers, Sublime's punky California reggae party sound wears well, and this BEST OF... is a good entry point for further investigation.
Includes liner notes by Blaine Kaplan.

On this album, the Saints shift gears yet again. A Little Madness to Be Free takes the band (which is actually just a vehicle for singer Chris Bailey at this point) in a denser more layered direction. This time, brass and strings dominate with lush acoustic guitars underneath. Obviously, any trace of the punk band that was, is gone. The power, however, remains. Like it's follow up, the devastating All Fools Day, this record explores the depths of irony, and the ironies of depth. Through exploration of the soul there is (musical at least) redemption. From the incredibly beautiful photo of a bay at sunset on the album cover, to the opening track, "Down the Drain," the tone is set. "Still I think it's better to stand out in the rain/ then go slipping on down the drain," Bailey sings. A melancholy rainy day vibe so damn gray it's vibrant. You can't help but be transported by it. This is the kind of album that makes you think about stuff. Stuff you'd rather not think about, like, "what the hell have I done with my life." Somehow there is catharsis, so the end result is not an overall bummer. The somber ...

Best Of Sublime: 20th Century Masters Of The Millennium Collection
$20.49
Contains three untitled hidden tracks on track #'s 16, 17, and 18.
With countless Damned compilations issued over the years, what exactly differentiates 2004's Neat Neat Neat: The Alternative Anthology from the rest of the pack, you wonder? This three-disc set spotlights the Damned's earlier "punk" years on the first disc and their more melodic '80s era on the second, wrapping things up with a third disc of live material. Although it may never be actually proven that "New Rose" was the first-ever punk single (an honor it often gets tagged with), it still remains one hell of a punk classic, and kicks things off splendidly. And it's followed up in quick succession ...
