Sublime — 40 oz. To Freedom (2-LP)

Remastered Double Vinyl LP Pressing

40oz. To Freedom is the 1992 debut album by the Southern California ska-punk band. Sublime’s sound blends various forms of Jamaican music, including ska (“Date Rape”), rocksteady (“54-46 That’s My Number”), roots reggae (“Smoke Two Joints”) and dub (“Let's Go Get Stoned” and “D.J.s”) with hardcore punk (“New Thrash” and “Hope”) and hip-hop (“Live At E’s”). LA Weekly wrote, “If 40oz. To Freedom revels in its careening, narcotic whimsy, that’s partially why it’s stood the test of time. At its core, music is utilitarian, and Sublime reached a universality of experience that can’t become obsolete.”
