Untitled[edit]

In the song April 29th 1996, brad sings "april 26th 1992". What this a mistake, or was this intentional? In the liner notes it prints April 29th 1992, but if this is a mistake, it seems odd that they didn't catch it.207.157.121.50 09:10, 14 October 2005 (UTC)mightyafrowhitey[reply]

what it was was the lyrics were supposed to say 'april 29th 1992' but he acsidently said '26' but it sounded better so they kept it ... J.

Some additional info on cover[edit]

deftdrummer @ 2013 It would be cool if someone added some info on the covers as to whether or not that is Novell's tattoo on his own back or other?? ALSO to the person below me, there is no sublime album titled "caress me down" there is a song called that though.

Caress Me Down[edit]

I got to this page by searching for a song on the album, "Caress Me Down." I think it would be better if "Caress Me Down" had its own page. GassyGuy 23:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

            i second dat ... J.

Seriously.

If "April 29, 1992" gets an article, so does "Caress Me Down." Both were never released as singles, and currently "Caress Me Down" is the more popular song.

I barely knew who Sublime were as a kid, but I knew this song. It was all over the radio. So I also agree that "Caress Me Down" should be an article. --Mrmoustache14 (talk) 22:23, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Platinum certification?[edit]

How many copies has it sold? I think that should be listed. TheDavesr 03:12, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to the RIAA's searchable Gold and Platinum Database, the album hit the 5x platinum level (5 million copies) at the end of 1999. --jh51681 07:43, 7 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trenchtown Rock[edit]

For the part about the 10th aniversary re-release, it says the song "Trenchtown Rock" was previously unreleased, but it was released on the album Second Hand Smoke, so shouldn't someone fix that? Dark Chili 04:12, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Also, for anyone who bought it from Best Buy, check the sticker on the packaging. It has a pass code for a bonus track download at [1]. The code that came with my copy let me download a live version of "We're Only Gonna Die for Our Arrogance." Did anyone get a different code or a different song? FFWP6MpJF is the code on my sticker. --jh51681 06:39, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I retried my code and it was denied, so it's only for one use. --jh51681 06:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Front Cover Font[edit]

The font on the back of the person on the front cover looks like Cloister Black. What do you think? 74.116.137.2 03:43, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Doin' Time[edit]

The vinyl edition of the self-titled Sublime album had a recent "Back to Black, 60th Vinyl Anniversary" reissue. The original version of "Doin' Time" (i.e. "doin' time..." is sung in the chorus, rather than "summertime...") is reinstated on this release. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.177.240 (talk) 07:57, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yo I just want to say the people who said Sublime songs bear an uncanny resemblance to Beatles songs must seriously be out of control Beatles fans. What I Got sounds absolutely nothing like Lady Madonna. Santeria sounds absolutely nothing like Octopus' Garden. Unless of course you mean in the sense that ALL songs having rhythm and melody resemble all other songs featuring the same characteristics. Haha, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" actually sounds exactly like "Camptown Races" in the same sort of way. BS man!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.96.226.172 (talk) 04:57, 27 May 2011 (UTC) except that it does sound like lady madonna because they used the music from lady madonna at the beginning of the song. ever heard of sampling? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.226.20 (talk) 11:53, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

To satisfy and remove the bare URLs tag, I fixed most of the references using Reflinks and hand-coded a few more.

However, the issue remains: far too many references use far too few sources. The vast majority come from AllMusic, SongFacts, and some weird site called "Sublime STP" that looks amateur. Can we find some more legit source material?

Background[edit]

The first paragraph of the background has almost nothing to do with Sublime the album its just about the beginning of the band. I think the background section should be smaller and have less information about the formation of the band seeing as its not their first album. Looking for consensus.
