Music reviews of Robbin' the Hood
Music Review: Underappreciated, difficult, yet amazing.
Rating: 5 Stars
I have been a long time fan of Sublime, but I will admit I got hooked only after seeing the Santeria video on MTV (amazing, huh?) in the late 90's and then went back and bought their self-titled album. Great album, solid songs, a year or so later I started picking up their other releases such as 40oz and Second Hand Smoke, etc. For some reason, this album passed me by. Well I picked it up randomly a few weeks ago, and I have got to say that while it is not as immediately accessible as their other albums, it truly does stand on its own. This feels a lot like a demo tape, lo-fi aesthetics throughout, with weird skits thrown in and no pretense of professional studio treatment. However, there are hooks buried here that really work, and it ends up feeling much more authentic than some of their other work. If you need a reason to get this album, go check out the song "Greatest Hits", it really epitomizes the feeling of this album. The song structure is not particularly tight, the timing feels off-kilter, they stop, they start, but somewhere around the 4th or 5th listen I realized this is one of the best songs I had heard in quite some time. If you feeling nostalgic for the drugged out crew from Long Beach, pick this up and you will not be disappointed.

Title: ROBBIN' THE HOOD
Street Release Date: 07/18/1996
Genre: ROCK/POP
Long Beach garage kings Sublime rode the cresting wave of late-'80s/early-'90s Cali punk to a well-received 1996 major-label debut whose success was overshadowed by tragedy: frontman Brad Nowell died of a heroin overdose just a month before its release. This 1994 album was their freshman indie outing and the record that largely secured their ticket to the majors. Instead of building on the energetic, if formulaic, punk-reggae fusion of their 1992 40 Oz. to Freedom (with its sometimes awkward, too-dumb-to-be-ironic lyrical bent), Robbin' displays a Nowell whose slow evolution as a songwriter is more than compensated by an eager plundering of old-school rap influences and ska beats. It's a record that moves the band beyond often-stultifying punk clich?s to a true musical adventure whose buoyant sense of discovery is almost palpable, and one that proves that their '96 big-label breakthrough was no accident. --Jerry McCulley
