Gold brings the sunburnt ska, punk and reggae of Sublime together on a remastered 2CD edition from 2005, tracing the Long Beach trio across all three of their studio albums.
Bradley Nowell, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh built their sound at Southern California backyard parties and small clubs, borrowing freely from Jamaican dancehall, hardcore punk, hip-hop and surf culture. Their story was cut short when Nowell died in 1996, just before their self-titled major-label album made them stars, which gives these songs a bittersweet glow that has never really faded.
The first disc leans on the scrappy early material, with Badfish swaying on a laid-back reggae groove beside a run of punk blasts and dub experiments. The second disc is where the best-known songs live. Santeria remains a masterclass in easygoing storytelling, What I Got pairs an acoustic strum with Nowell's warm, conversational vocal, and Doin' Time drifts along on a hazy summertime sample that still sounds like heat rising off the pavement.
Across forty-four tracks, the mix of punk energy and reggae patience holds together remarkably well, proof that Sublime's genre collisions came from real love of the music.
For newer fans, this is a generous introduction. For longtime ones, it gathers a whole era of beach-town soul in one place.
