Sublime was my musical highlight of summer 2001 that I mostly spent smoking and travelling across USA. I still have a soft spot for them and love both 40 oz. to Freedom and the self-titled.
I also consider it highly unfair to label them as 'ska punk', as it happens quite a lot: one of the greatest things about them was the stylistic range which extended far beyond ska or punk. You will find here traces of reggae, funk, hip hop, or reincarnated Hendrix style. Even though at some point I started thinking this album is a bit overcooked from the production perspective, the flawlessly hypnotic rhytm section and meticulous Bradley's guitar parts (just listen to Pawn Shop or solo on Santeria, yeah I know it's been overplayed to death in America) make up for it.
Although personally I could do without 2-3 tracks, it's fun to listen to throughout every now and then, even if it doesn't do for me half as much as it used to.
Favourite tracks: Wrong Way, Pawn Shop, April 29, 1992 (Miami), Doin' Time.

Soooo many great tracks.
I don't consider it great music, but I do consider it good music. KROQ wouldn't be the same with their love for Sublime.
I also like how they mixed genres really well...
I think songwriting is catchy and great, but maybe lacks some depth... but when you are so wasted, who needs depth?

Yeah back in the day when I was a stoned teenager hanging out with a bunch of beach bums and not getting any pussy this was the shit. Since then? It's lost its appeal. Some of it's still mildly catchy these days while other parts are just annoying.

Couldn't have said it better myself, every word of this is spot on. They certainly get pigeonholed unfairly.
It's not an album I spin with any regularity now, but it was a pretty important album to me not so long ago. The biggest problem with it now is that there are 4 or 5 songs that have been so grossly overplayed they've become almost unlistenable. Either way this album, 40 Oz, and even Robbin' The Hood will always have a sentimental space in my collection.

The only time I find myself really enjoying this album or Sublime in general is when my friends (who like them more than me) play them at parties in which I'm drunk, high, or normally both.
It's really not bad, it's just not something that interests me.
