Look at All the Love We Found: A Tribute to Sublime

by

Various Artists

Edit

After a long, long, long wait this superb album is finally out. It does not disappoint one bit. Each of the artists put their own spin on the covered songs. Highlights include J.Johnson making "Badfish" into a classic once again, Josh from Bargain Music does justice to "Get Out" by adding verses on how he came in touch with Sublime, Fishbone "ska-up" "Date Rape." No Doubt does a live cover of "DJ's." Avail speeds up "Santeria" which works surprisingly well. Bass legend Mike Watt lays down a mean one of "Work That We Do". Greyboy Allstars lay down some jazz knowledge on the already jazz influenced "Doin' Time." Not surprisingly many tracks on this album undoubtedly could turn into huge hits however knowing the nature of the record business this will not happen since the CD doesn't have major label support. Overall this album is a must for any Sublime fans or even fans of the bands participating in this project. Also the CD itself comes with a short interesting bookled shedding some light on how Sublime affected the bands involved.

2011 Update: Even 6 years after its release I still find myself occasionally listening to this album. Good stuff indeed. They don't make them like they used to anymore.
