Good Beats Almost All Around
or Sublime. I really enjoyed this CD, although it is not as good as 40 oz. I still love it. The first ten tracks on this CD are great, and even though a lot of people don't like Had a DAT, I think it's very dope. The only track I DON'T like on this whole CD is. . . wait, I really don't have any. I love Slow Ride, Superstar Punani, Romeo, Get Out!, the first remix of Doin Time (a great jazzy version), the demo version of Don't Push, and the Leary version of April 29, 1992. I like what they did at the end. "Gimme my share. " The second version of Doin Time was great, too, except for that reggae guy with the really deep voice. Great overall album. So what if it's not as good as two of their other two albums, it's still better than the best albums of many good bands.


A must have for ANY Sublime lover...
If you don't know if you like Sublime you should STILL buy this album. If you like Sublime buy this album. If you don't like Sublime, then why are you reading this review? .


Great buying experience!
Would definitely buy from them again!. I got it quickly, it was in perfect condition.


Not Sublimes best, but still some great tunes
to Freedom, Robbin' the Hood, and Sublime were all great hits. Sublime's first 3 records 40oz. They established the band quite well and gave them a quite large following. After front man Bradley Nowell's death following Sublime(album) the band had many incomplete and rough recordings of songs they were working on. Those songs are what we hear on Second Hand Smoke.

While I don't think Second Hand Smoke holds up with the first 3 albums, most of all Robbin' the Hood, it is still a solid album with many great tracks. The recording quality of many of the songs is a bit rough, but considering the circumstances it's quite understandable and hardly diminishes enjoyment of the album. The better tracks on this album are(in order they appear on the album):

-Doin' Time [Uptown Dub]
-Get Out! [Remix]
-Romeo
-New Realization
-Slow Ride
-Chick on my Tip
-Trench Town Rock
-Drunk Drivin'

The first half of the album is definitley much stronger than the second, but all in all a great album. Also contrary to what I've read a few places the versions of Saw Red and Badfish on this album are no different from the ones heard on 40oz. to Freedom and Robbin' the Hood; they most likely just threw them in as filler.

In conclusion I say this album is definitely a good album to purchase if you already own Sublime's first 3 albums and enjoy them, but if you don't buy one of them instead.

Raw Sublime
and just the right amount of underground, truly raw, explicit sound of Robbin the Hood. This album combines a small dosage of the catchy, addictive sound of the Self-titled with a big hit of fluid rhymes and deep pervasive beats of 40 Oz. The overall flow of the songs can disappoint, but the disc is of excellent use on the CDJ's. . .
