The two-disc set GOLD covers a lot more ground than the abbreviated 20TH-CENTURY MASTERS set, and is therefore a better place to turn for a comprehensive overview of the band. Though GOLD doesn't have much new to offer long-time fans, it does cull the best moments from the group's three studio albums, giving a complete picture of these friendly West Coast punkers, and providing a suitable soundtrack for polishing off a six-pack en route to Venice Beach.

Sublime Gold is sort of both for the old school fan's as well as new school. For people like me who bought the old records years ago and they are all beat up by now this is the record for you. 4 records all on 1 ok well 2 CD's. Also give or take a few good songs that for some reason are missing. The much added bonus is that everything is remastered. All the songs on this from 40.oz and Robbin sound just amazing. Self titled should have been left alone. Perhaps its me but the levels sound off. The track listing could have been more thought out. For people looking at this to get back into sublime or that hear the singles on the radio this is the CD to get as you get those songs as well as all the greats that make this still one of the biggest underground bands to this day. There are still some killer Sublime fans out there and many of the songs on this comp. is the reason why. Waste no time in picking this up. New or Old to sublime there is something for everyone.

Everything Sublime in one place. I like the fact that I can listen to all the Sublime I want while driving without changing cd's.

The reasons I love Sublime music are much more complex than that. I'm not even a stoner anymore! I just love the rhythms and the wide mix of styles. I was introduced to Sublime by my then teen son, who may or may not have been smoking two joints in the morning, night and afternoon, it has not been positively proven.

My favorite song is hard to tell, because there are so many different styles of music here. For pure listening pleasure I like 'Pawn shop'. Bass riffs and a rhythm and blues beat. I love 'Jailhouse' too. At the time I first heard this music, it was "date rape" that my son played for me. I had to admit that this was a positive message song, as well as being terribly funny. I really do love all of the songs on this cd set. There aren't any that I skip over to get to the next song. I admit you can finally have your fill after a few days of exclusive Sublime listening, but hey, nobody else but the Beatles can last for that long in the player before a change.

A great beat and fun to dance to, I give it a 98.

Peace and love to Sublime fans everywhere and most especially to the Bradley Nowell family.
