Smoke Two Joints: As said in the 'thanks dub,' this song was 'jacked from the Toyes' that's Toyes with an e, a 90's reggae group, not the 60's rock group The Toys.

I'm not going to do a play-by-play of the individual tracks, since that belongs in the tracks' nodes nevertheless, a note on the album's 6 ( !) cover songs is in order: The back cover features a picture of Lou-Dog, Bradley Nowell's dog. The album cover (based on a motif of the sun) was done by Opie Ortiz, a good friend of the band who did alot of their artwork and tattoos.

No explicit lyrics warning on the front cover.The original recording differs from the MCA version in the following ways: There is also a hidden track, rawhide, after date rape, and at the end there is a ' thanks dub' in which the bad runs through a long list of people they wants to thank. Original releases (on Skunk) are very difficult to find the original track listing reads like so (typography preserved): It was later picked up by MCA when the band hit it big. The album was produced by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers. Made for under $1,000, it sold over 30,000 units in its first two years, out of the trunks of people's cars. Reggae is just slowed-down ska anyway (yes, this is true most think that ska is sped-up reggae, which is not true). The sound is a mix of reggae, punk, and ska, basically Sublime always described themselves as a reggae band, but, for example, We're Only Gonna Die is a flat-out punk song, while Date Rape, the big hit off this album (even though it didn't make it to radio for about three years) is distinctly ska. The first album from Long Beach, California band Sublime, originally released on Skunk Records in 1992.
