Review - :
With their debut, {^40 Oz. to Freedom}, {$Sublime} attempt to have it both ways. The group wants to appeal to alterna-punks, but they want to cut a little deeper and make some sort of social statement, both with their lyrics and their self-consciously eclectic music. Since the group has a knack for combining {\dancehall reggae} with {\hardcore punk}, the music can be nervy and invigorating, but their joyous blend of cultures doesn't fare so well at the lyrical level. No matter how you look at it, {&"Date Rape"} isn't a bold, ironic satire on macho mores -- it's {\frat rock} that's bound to be misinterpreted, especially with its homophobic "I can't take pity on men of his kind, even though he now takes it in the behind" conclusion. Lyrics like that prevent {^40 Oz. to Freedom} from being the cracking, skanking {\skatepunk} record that it had the potential to be. [A Japanese edition was also released.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
