-"[[Steppin' Razor]]" is a cover of the Peter Tosh song (written by Joe Higgs).
+Robbin the Hood is Sublime’s 1994 follow up release to their debut 40oz to Freedom. The album features a distinct departure from it’s more polished sounding predecessor. Boasting on the cover about 13 self-produced 4-track home recordings, most of Robbin the Hood was recorded in the various homes around Southern California that singer Brad Nowell found himself staying at. Co-producer and album collaborator Michael Happoldt described this period as the band’s most strained and uncertain time. Pressures from the lack of response to the band’s music outside of Long Beach and it’s immediate surrounding area begin to chip away at Nowell. To better handle these pressures Nowell seeks shelter in hard drugs as he begins to work on the band’s next release.
-"[[Saw Red]]" features the duet of Sublime's [[Bradley Nowell]] and No Doubt's Gwen Stefani.
+Robbin the Hood plays out in a Burroughs’ esque fashion; offering alcohol and drug fueled vignettes set to the soundtrack of an artist and his band in no particular order or style. Some tracks feature Nowell as the sole Sublime member performing them while in someone’s living room, others are rounded out as a full-piece band in a proper recording studio. In between the chaos and binges that fuel the album’s tracks are soliloquies by a mysterious and deranged character the band credits only as [[Raleigh Theodore Sakers]].
-"[[Falling Idols]]" is a cover version of the band [[The Falling Idols|Falling Idols]]' theme song.
+Robbin the Hood stands as a sampler dish to Sublime’s wide range of styles and ideas. The computerized dub styles of Courtney Melody can be heard on tracks like [[Free Loop Dub]] and [[I Don't Care Too Much for Reggae Dub]]. While turntable scratches, samples, and Roland 808’s fill out most of [[Steady B Loop Dub]], [[Steppin' Razor]] and [[Q-Ball]]. The album closes with a couple of Nowell’s stripped down acoustic numbers before sending the listener off with one last thought brought into the universe by Mr. Sakers. The roughness of Robbin the Hood’s production may be a deterrent upon first glance but in time the album matures into it’s place in the band’s catalog.

 After the final listed track ("Raleigh Soliloquy Pt. III"), a short mix of songs including an alternate recording of "[[Don't Push]]" ends the album.
-Robbin' the Hood is often thought of as the hard-core fans favourite album. This is due to the fact it was very inaccessible for non-fans due to its low production value (the album sleeve boasts of the songs four track recordings). Although there is no reason behind the low budget recording techniques, many feel that it was Brad Nowell's answer to the people who were beginning to feel he was in it for the money. Furthermore, the album is full of random fillers, instrumentals and 'Raleigh soliloquies'. This was done as it was originally only going to have 6 tracks.
