Review from Allmusic.com:

Gold is the third official Sublime retrospective, following 2002's 20th Century Masters and Greatest Hits from 1999. But none of it is unreleased, or even very rare. In fact, Gold is really an abstract, an only slightly condensed run through Sublime's three studio albums. It includes hits, fan favorites, and a bunch of album tracks, as well as an essay that details again the band's rise and tragic fall for anyone who missed it first 3,000 times. But that's who Gold must be meant for, that potential Sublime neophyte, because sliced any other way this set is straight-up opportunism. Diehards will have all of this material a few times over, while casual fans are happy with the self-titled 1996 album. They have their "What I Got," their "Santeria," their "Wrong Way"; they don't need "Let's Go Get Stoned," "Had a Dat," or Bradley Nowell's earnest meanders into dub. So in that sense Gold isn't for anybody, because it includes too much shake for the noncommittal but not enough kind for the Sublime professionals. It's always nice to hear Sublime's best moments, to imagine them partying and playing through the backyards and beach towns of Southern California. But those memories get a little staler every time they're repackaged.

(Can hear the fuckin' fleas crawlin on my nutz, haha)

Out my window, cool and bright
Day so slowly into night
Funny how things look the same
Now that my friend Ebin's changed

Ebin was a cooley that I used to know
Now he's down with the PLO
He's cold kickin' it live with the KKK
No JVC, no JFA

Cooley was sportin' black tennis shoes
Dealin' he was looking for something to use
With a pistol in his pocket and a bottle of booze
Well, it could be me or it could be you

Oh feels like my whole life is rearragned
Ebin you changed
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you
Oh how you changed
Oh you changed
Oh how you've changed

I give you a hard time
Didn't want to stay
He got outta jail just the very next day
Now it's plain to see
My friend Ebin is a nazi
He was a nazi yeah yeah yeah

Hooked on crack just the other day
Now he's down with the cia
We got covert operation in vietnam
With a hit man assasin like a long strong arm

He went down to protect his country
Eat mexican food and make lots o' money
Come back up north and drive a big white car
And take himself a plane down to Nicaragua

Well it feels like I'm the only one to blame
Oh Ebin you changed
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you
Oh you changed
Oh you changed
Oh how you've changed

I give you a hard time
Didn't want to stay
He got outta jail just the very next day
Now it's plain to see
My friend ebin is a nazi
He was a nazi yeah yeah yeah

Out my window cool and bright
Day so slowly into night
Funny how things look the same
Now that my friend Ebin's changed

Lyrics:Work That We Do

{{Lyrics Header|[[Sublime]]|[[1994]]}}<pre>
Well we realized so long, long ago
And I bet you
That we've seen it all
The lies wont get you

I've got fourteen miles to go
I've got rhythm, common sense
I've got the soul
But I won't wanna come around our love
So why?

If you are rich, I'm gonna hang you on the wall
I'm gonna a find you
And when I find you, I'm gonna get your lovin' arms today

So we fight to get
We fight to get our weary arms to bed
Real love's somthing that I still hope
People make their own places to go

And now in '94 were gonna lie some more
In 1994 were going to die some more
It it ever going to be the last show?

It's going to be the last drive
Boss to proud to make the cars that we drive
The women don't mind, I've got ample time
And it's all underneath my voodoo

That's work that we do
A work that we do is work that we do
It's just work

Lyrics:New Song

Torres:

{{Lyrics Header|[[Sublime]]|[[1992]]}}<pre>
I heard that payback's a mother fucking bitch
But I won't stress and I won't switch
And I would not take my life
Glory please have God
The only thing on my mind
It takes up all of my time

Running from a gun
Or some brain that weighs a ton
My God it hurts to get so low
Searching through the car
Cold stone searching through the night
I think I would run to you
But I refuse to fuss and fight
And God may find the reason
Well I'm sure you'll find the rhyme
Because it takes up nearly all my time

It stands for freedom
God knows I've got the number
Maybe I just use too much

I was sitting in a bar
Now i'm sitting in that stolen car
Cold stone rolling down the boulevard
Thought you was clean
On the microphone scene
Think i would run to you
But I know I won't fit for me
Cause I know God's got the reason and the rhyme
And please tell me why it takes up all my time
I've been drinking just like you
And baby you got something I could use

Payback's a mother fucking blast
I won't stress and I won't blast
And I would not take my life
Glory please have God
Coming from heaven above
Takes up all o my time
And I said

(Guitar Solo)

(Why must I feel like that!?)

Running from a gun
And some brain that weighs a ton
You know I bit that line from flavor flav
But all the dj's do it
All the dj's use it
I would run, I would switch
But I wanna be the same
And I know I'll find a reason
Cause I always bust a rhyme
Because it takes up nearly all my time

"T" it stands for treason
The D it stands for dub
And maybe I just use too
Maybe I just use too
Maybe I just use too much

20th Century Masters - The Millenium Collection: The Best of Sublime

== Album Information ==
Review from Allmusic.com:

One of the newer bands to receive the 20th Century Masters treatment, Sublime gathers most of their definitive singles and tracks on 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Sublime. The collection covers the obvious inclusions like "What I Got," "Santeria," "Date Rape," "Doin' Time," and "The Wrong Way," and like 1999's Greatest Hits, weighs in only ten tracks. Indeed, this compilation is almost identical to Greatest Hits, except it replaces "Pool Shark" and "40 Oz. to Freedom" with "April 29, 1992 (Miami)" and "Greatest Hits". These changes put the emphasis more on Sublime's dub and pop aspirations rather than their thrashy punk side, but 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Sublime is still a decent, if small, retrospective that is worthwhile for casual fans.

Sleeping by yourself at night can make you feel alone
Your girlfriend said so but I don't really know
That don't mean we fucked around
That night last week when you left town

Was tweakin' by myself one night, that's when I wrote this tune
Didn't have no need for that bed in my hotel room
Sometimes right now since I've left the pen
Feels like I'm right back there again

Sometimes I pray
Waiting, waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought myself a gun
And I'm right back, right back where I'm from

Sleeping by yourself at night can make you feel alone
My girfriend said so, she's a little ho
That don't mean I fuck around
I like to keep that higher ground

Sometimes I pray
Waiting, waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought myself a gun
And I'm right back, right back where I'm from

Ohhh, don't tease me
Ohhh, don't tease me
Don't tease me, ohhh

Sometimes I pray
Waiting, waiting for some bright holiday
So I bought myself a gun
And I'm right back, right back where I'm from

When you grab ahold of me
You tell me that I'll never be set free
But I'm a parasite
Creep and crawl I step into the night

Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too
(Are you a badfish too?)

Ain't got no money to spend
I hope the night would never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get get me off this reef?

Baby you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails
I swim but I wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs

I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
(Underneath my bed)

Ain't got no quarrels with god
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off this reef?

Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to get old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

Lyrics:Romeo

Torres:

{{Lyrics Header|[[Sublime]]|[[1997]]}}<pre>
I have a secret place
Inside my mind
Where I keep hidden inspiration you won't find
And when my petty anger goes to my head
You'll find I'm better off dead
Oh, and I don't hold the key
To find out what is killing me
It's been so long
But somehow I just still care

I am a Romeo
Am a Romeo
With no place to go

Sometimes I think you hate me
Hang up the phone
But take a closer look
This hate I feel is my own
So many times I've loved you
More than myself
It's time to take that love and put it on the shelf
Oh, and when I hold you tight
It makes me want to scream and fight
Love turned to hate
Some how it's just
How it's just
How it's just too late

I am a Romeo
Am a Romeo
With no place to go

Rock the reggae music cause it sounds so fine, right!
When I hold you tight in my arms you are mine
But in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same
I know something's going on and I know who's to blame
Everytime I tell you I'm the real Romeo
It fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow
Cause somthing's going on and I think you should know
So listen to my rhyme, cause this is how it goes
In a tight mini short in a short mini skirt
It feels so wrong and it feels so right
The more I think about it, you're a pain in the ass
I told you many times, this time it's gonna last
Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right
Not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night, because

I am a Romeo
Am a Romeo
With no place to go

Pull up your honey if you gotta one see
Because your down with the style
Cause you're down with me
Oh rig the selector when you're on the mixer
Along with Peter Mitchell upon the echo chamber
Two, one, no they must see but no they can't test me
Two, three of them come and say you can't test me
Because me rock the reggae music in a different stylee
Me rock the kinda reggae music right on time
Because your down with the band that they call Sublime, right?
Don't take it too slow, don't take me wrong
Me know which way to go, me, me, me alright
Me rock the reggae music day and all night

Makes you wanna explode
Makes me wanna explode
Makes me wanna explode
Makes you wanna explode
Sometimes it makes you wanna explode

Wake up in the in the mornin' and it's hard to live
Hard to live, yes it's hard to live
And it will be a long time before that shit starts to give
And every single day it's getting harder to live
But I would be up for being down with a ho
Lord knows that I got mic control
Do you got mic control?
You know this here stylee's well original

This man, makin' money how I know
Won't be no man of me
In my bed I watch TV
I'm drunk by noon, but that's OK
I'll be President some day
Light my cigarette, and I think
How Bert Senzanka made me drink
Load the box and I'll pump that shit
Got my greatest hits
Got my greatest hits

Is this band making money?
I don't know
See writing on the wall
All my friends drink alcohol
I'm too drunk to light the bong
I'm too stoned to write this song
Light my cigarette, and I think
Bert Suzanka made me drink
Load the box and I'll pump that shit

Wake up in the in the mornin' and it's hard to live
Hard to live, yes it's hard to live
And it will be a long time before that shit starts to give
And every single day it's getting harder to live
But I would be up for being down with a ho
Lord knows that I got mic control

All that I need
Look at all the love we've found
I won't run and pull the one jack move
They love her for the Kingston sound

Flava-Flav and I-C-E
Once said somthing that made me
Want to burn my liquor store down to the ground
But I just can't leave the pad
Cause I'll surely wind up dead
Cause I know there out there out there waiting and watching for me
Still I got my yellow cat
And my wooden baseball bat
And my shiny silver gat and if my homie got my back then I got

All that I need
Look at all the love we've found
I won't run and pull the one jack move
They love her for the Kingston sound

I won't slip, and I won't trip
Send Matt Vargas to regrip
While I'm wrenchin' on my ride
In that secret pad where we hide
There's always lotsa fun stuff to do
Like relax and design a brand new tatoo
Play with my crossword puzzle book
I'm even learning how to cook (speed)

Have you seen that little whore betty?
Someone said she stole my freddy
And if she made off with my last clean ring
I'm gonna kill that fuckin' ditch pig
So what?
Outta my, outta my, outta my, outta my secret pad
Cause I know your talkin' about me, makin' it hard to live
Cause I, don't want no money dick, don't want no money down
My secret tweaker pad is now the hottest spot in town I guess
Take it nice and easy
Don't want no sheriff breakin' down the door to raid me
Cause..

All that I need
Look at all the love we've found
I won't run and pull the one jack move
They love her for the Kingston sound

Baby you wanna give me kisses sweet
Only for one night with no repeat
Baby you wanna leave and never go
But the taste of honey is worse than none at all

There's a steel train comin' through
I would take it if I could
And I would not lie to you
Because Sunday morning soon will come
When things would be much easier to say
Upon the microphone like a boss DJ
But I won't walk upon the sea like it was dry land
The boss DJ ain't nothin' but a man

No trouble no fuss
I know why
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice

Rumors are spreadin' all over my town
But it's just stones and sticks
Cause on the microphone is where I go to get my fix
Just let the lovin' take ahold
Cause it will if you let it
A funky, not a junky
But I know where to get it

No trouble no fuss
I know why
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice

Oo-we girl, oo-we girl, oo-wee girl, oo-we girl
And there really ain't no time to waste
Really ain't no time to hate
We got no time to waste, time to hate
Really ain't no time to make the time go away

So Mister DJ, don't stop the music
I wanna know
Are you feelin' the same way too?
I wanna rock with you girl, oo-girl, oo-girl, oo..
Don't stop (Cause..)

It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice
It's so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice

Nowadays, the songs on the radio all
All drive me crazy

You've got your hair permed
You've got your red dress on
Screamin' that second gear was such a turn on

And the fog forming on my window
Tells me that the morning's here
And you'll be gone before too long

Who taught you those new tricks?
Damn I shouldn't start that talk
But life is one big question
When your starin' at that clock

And the answers always waiting
At the liquor store
40 oz. to freedom
So I'll take that walk

And I know that
Ohhh...I'm not going back
Ohhh...Not going back
Ohhh...God knows I'm not going back
Ohhh...I'm not goin'

You look so fine, when you lie it just don't show
But I know which way the wind blows
A 40 oz. to freedom is the only chance I have
To feel good even though I feel bad

And I know that
Ohhh...I'm not going back
Ohhh...Not going back
Ohhh...God knows I'm not going back
Ohhh...I'm not goin'

My place is not a home
Don't make no difference but I have found
That I need a place to stay
I never listen to what the landlord man say

You should've seen all the flops in my house
We were jumping on walls and kicking ceilings
Now a days people listen to me when I say..
"GET OUT!"

Hold me and don't let go
It makes no difference that you're a ho
'Cause I need a place to stay
A new disease was just the price I paid

In days of old that's how it used to be
Ohh yes indeed
That girl is dead to me now and I say..
"GET OUT!"

(RAP)
All the time the people want to know the meaning of the word Sublime
It ain't anarchist, it's the shit you missed
We get the minute man loop and add a peni twist
We know you mutha that this is the shit that you put in the box
And say damn its a hit
And to all the radios and the tv shows
'Cause we don't kiss no ass or kick down free shows
What you get is the kind no econo gang or cess with yellow lover on the
d-r-u-m-s

Let the lovin' take a hold over me
Let the lovin' take a hold over me
'Cause all I see is your fussin' and fightin'
1992, so let's all start uniting

Put your hands together be the best you can be
Let this jam take us to 1993
Stay positive and the love will come back to me

40oz. To Freedom

2006-02-27T11:47:54Z

[[Image:Sublime_40oz_cover.jpg|thumb|Sublime 40oz. to Freedom Front Cover]]

== Album Specifics ==
Artist: [[Sublime]] 
Released: [[1992]] 
Tracks: 23 
Label: [http://www.skunk.com Skunk Records]



== Album Information ==
40 Oz. to Freedom is the 1992 (see 1992 in music) debut ska punk album by the Southern California rock band Sublime. 40 Oz. to Freedom received mixed critical reviews upon its first release, but is now generally approved of as an immature but sincere record, with a few spots of brilliance. Sublime would not achieve any mainstream success until two weeks after the overdose death of its leader singer and guitarist, Bradley Nowell, in 1996 (see 1996 in music). When this album was recorded, Nowell had not yet begun using heroin. To some degree, the failure of 40 Oz. to Freedom to sell well or earn the band a major label release caused a despondent Nowell to begin using heroin. When the band recorded their next album, Robbin' the Hood, they did so in a Long Beach, California crackhouse.

40 Oz. to Freedom is one of the most popular albums released in the Third Wave of Ska Revival. Its sound blended various forms of Jamaican music, including ska ("40 Oz. to Freedom"), rocksteady ("5446-That's My Number", cover of Toots & the Maytals), roots reggae ("Smoke Two Joints", a cover of The Toyes) and dub ("Let's Go Get Stoned", "D.J.s") with British and American hardcore punk ("New Thrash"), hip hop ("D.J.s") and folk music ("Rivers of Babylon" a Melodians cover, "Scarlet Begonias", a Grateful Dead cover).

In 1995 (see 1995 in music), Sublime sent a radio CD to the influential radio station KROQ, and one of 40 Oz. to Freedom's songs, "Date Rape", became the most requested song on the station, leading the album to appear at #1 for five weeks on Billboard magazine's (North America) Pacific Region chart, and to appear on the Alternative Artist Albums Chart for fifty weeks. The band then signed with MCA Records, which, along with the birth of his son, convinced Nowell to voluntarily enter rehab. Though he remained clean for several months, Nowell died of a heroin overdose shortly before the release of Sublime's breakthrough album, Sublime.

On the original release, "Rivers of Babylon", a folky religious song originally by The Melodians, and the outro, "Thanx", were hidden tracks.

On the original pressing of the album, which was distributed independently by Skunk Records, there were two additional songs. Get Out! appeared as the second track, and the theme from Rawhide was included on the same track as Date Rape. Also, there were some samples included in We're Only Gonna Die and "Let's Go Get Stoned. Both tracks and the samples had to be removed for national distribution due to copyright issues.

The album has six covers: "Smoke Two Joints" (by The Toyes), "We're Only Gonna Die" (by Bad Religion), "5446" (by Toots & the Maytals), "Scarlet Begonias" (by Grateful Dead), "Rivers of Babylon" (by The Melodians), and "Hope" (by the Descendents).

The album ranked at #10 for Top 100 Albums of 1992 and #402 for overall by Rate Your Music.

== Trivia ==
*The song "D.J.s" includes, after the dancehall-style intro, a few lines quoted from "Cornerstone" by Bob Marley & the Wailers.

*The song "D.J.s" also includes, at the end, a few lines from The Specials' "A Message To You, Rudy" (originally by Dandy Livingstone).

*On the original release of 40 oz. to Freedom there was 23 tracks (2½ more then you can get on the current release of this CD). It had "Get Out!" and "Rawhide" (added to the end of Date Rape, and the songs "Let's Go Get Stoned" and "We're Only Gonna Die" had samples removed. "Thanx" was also a couple of minutes longer as well. This version is long out of print, making way for the new print. The original press of this album is extremely rare, so finding copies of it are nearly impossible.
