Album Review

Between November 1997 and November 1998, the Bradley Nowell estate, MCA and the surviving members of Sublime released no less than three albums of outtakes, rarities and live tracks, culminating with "Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends". At first glance, this appears to be the least interesting of the three albums, since it doesn't have outtakes like "Second Hand Smoke" or document the band in their live prime, like "Stand By Your Van". Strangely enough, that's the reason why it's the most engaging of any of the posthumous Sublime releases. Throughout all these recordings, many of which are decidedly lo-fi, Nowell and a variety of supporting musicians run through Sublime favorites, toss-offs and covers. It's relaxed, funny and, funnily enough, quite moving, because it captures a human, touching side of Nowell that only surfaced in glimpses on Sublime's offical albums. Of course, this is something that will be of interest primarily to hardcore fans, not fellow travelers who only owned "Sublime", but that's the reason why "Acoustic" is the best of all the Sublime records released after Nowell's death. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
