Long Beach's favourite sons get the essentials treatment on Icon, a tight twelve-song Sublime collection presented here on CD.
Released in 2011 as part of Universal's Icon series, it pulls from the band's three albums, from the scrappy 40oz. to Freedom through Robbin' the Hood to their breakthrough self-titled release. Bradley Nowell, Eric Wilson and Bud Gaugh mixed reggae, punk, ska and hip-hop in a way that felt effortless, and this set shows how much ground they covered in a short time before Nowell's death in 1996.
"Santeria" is the obvious centrepiece, a sunny, lilting groove wrapped around one of the band's most quotable stories. "Wrong Way" bounces on bright ska horns and a catchy chorus, while "Badfish" shows Nowell at his most soulful and reflective. "Doin' Time" borrows from Gershwin's "Summertime" for a hazy, late-afternoon classic that still sounds like summer in Southern California.
Rougher moments sit alongside the hits, giving a fair picture of the band's punk edge as well as its laid-back side, and the running order flows like a well-made mixtape.
For anyone getting started with Sublime, or fans wanting a compact set of favourites, Icon covers the key songs and captures the warmth and attitude that made them a California institution.
