Advantages: Potentially timeless, vast musical spectrum Disadvantages: Not many
This album is arguably the best offering from rap/reggae/punk fusion band , Sublime. The untimely demise of the lead singer in a very rock 'n' roll manner means that with no new releases, its a good job that this album is so good. Almost thirty tracks confirms its status as one of those value for money albums and there are so many stand out tracks on this record that it would futile to list them.
The album has a very free-flowing feel to it, however, ... ...or consistency. I prefer to say that this is a reflection on its raw grit and energy. Most people would struggle to avoid finding a track they like on here and if any of the three above genres interest you then this will be right up your street.

Advantages: Sublime at their best Disadvantages: Not enough songs!
...get to the ulitmate classic Sublime song that everyone who's anyone knows - "Santeria". This song MADE Sublime what they are to a lot of people - it's like what "One" was to Metallica. Listen to this if nothing else.

Advantages: Unique and Brilliant consistancey of good tracks Disadvantages: Old fashion looking album design
Normally im into Children of Bodom, Slipknot, BFMV and alot more of the screamo bands. But the Avenged Sevefold have a truly unique style, the vocalist is amazing. I bought this album, and loved it.
