Yours Truly

This is by far not a Sublime album. I bought this album the day it dropped. I love it. Every song is well written, and the music is enjoyable. Very entertaining. With that said, it should not be called "Sublime with Rome". It should be more like "Rome featuring members of Sublime". I was and still am a die hard Sublime fan. I own every single album, bootleg, live show... You name it and I've got it. I waited for years to hear something new from Sublime. When I heard this album was dropping, I saw light at the end of the tunnel. But like I said this is not a "Sublime" album. Rome is great. He's a great songwriter, and great singer. But his lyrics are not anything like Bradley Nowells lyrics. In Brads lyrics about drug addiction, his dog, rockstar life, or just living in california, I found release. In Romes lyrics, i found a kid singing songs about girls, and smoking pot. Close but no Cigar. Bradley and the guys tried forever to achieve what they did. I feel like Rome just kind of stepped in and reaped the benefits of Brads hard work. I do enjoy this album, But nothing about it says sublime. The real sublime is gone but not forgotten. I recommend this album for every one, but dont expect anything remotely "Sublime".

There are two very different sounds/styles on this album... one sounds a whole lot like the old Sublime to me (the song "Panic") and the other, I have to assume, is the style that Rome brings with him. I'm a big fan of the original Sublime, but I have to say, I LOVE both styles. I suppose not everyone will enjoy both styles, but I think a wide range of people will (my dad bought the album after hearing it at my house). In my opinion, this is a VERY solid album. I have been listening to this CD on loop for months! I can't get enough and for ~$12 you can't go wrong!

I've been a Sublime fan since I first heard Smoke Two Joints on the Mallrats soundtrack in 1995. It wasn't long before I was buying everything Sublime had released, and it also was about a month or two after my becoming a fan, that Bradley passed away. I still consider Sublime to be one of the greatest bands of all time. So, when I heard that Eric and Bud had recruited a replacement for Bradley, that they were touring as Sublime and performing all their old material, my interest was peaked. This album is very good. It's not as good as 40oz to Freedom, nor Sublime, nor Robbin in tha' Hood (Who would expect it to be? It's their freshman album. Sublime's first album wasn't their best either. Though it doesn't have the continuity of a Sublime album that would allow me to listen from start to finish. Most of the songs are very good, and truly sound like a "Sublime song". Songs like: Panic, Only, Murdera, My World, Take It or Leave it, Dynamite, Safe and Sound, and Can You Feel It?, are all excellent Sublime songs reminiscent of old Sublime, yet with a slightly different sound, nevertheless, they are welcome entries into my new Sublime library. I consider them Sublime songs, and look forward to more like them. However, songs like PCH, Spun, and You Better Listen do not have the weight or substance of the original Sublime, they just don't have the passion and edge that Bradley wrote into his songs. They are a bit too pop for my liking, and won't be in my playlist for very long. I take this first release, Yours Truly, with a grain of salt. Rome is a very young man, and did not live the same life as Bradley, in particular, he is not on Heroin and Cocaine constantly, so maybe he lacks the edge in that respect, yet I'd hope he was a happier person with a longer life expectancy, something Sublime fans have always lamented about Bradley. He's got a great voice, and has written some pretty great songs here. I look forward to seeing where this new Sublime takes us with their next album. If Rome can continue to grow as a songwriter and guitarist, I think that Sublime with Rome could, someday, be the band they once were. Rome,Eric, Bud - thanks for making some new Sublime songs, it's been a long time. Way too long. R.I.P. Bradley

Yeah, it's not Bradley, but Rome is absolutely great and brings in more of the reggae sound to the group (still plenty of punk influence as well). The entire album is filled with great songs and can be listened through in it's entirety without skipping through filler. I've pretty much had this on repeat since I got the album the day it came out. Other than the Dirty Heads you just don't hear quality music like this still coming out. Quick Picks: - Panic - Only - Murdera - My World - Take It or Leave It - Spun

As a long time Sublime fan, I was curious what this album would sound like. Turns out, it's really good. Bradley Nowell is gone, but the original sound of Sublime is still here and evidenced in this release. Rome Ramirez sometimes echoes the original, but does not imitate. I've found it to be an excellent soundtrack to the summer of 2011.

I love this album. It's nice to hear some tunes from the guys around the old hood. A couple of the songs are the catchy airplay type but there is a wide variety of styles that can be heard throughout the album.

I was worried I wouldn't like another man stepping in for Brad, but I saw Rome perform these songs on a special on TV one night and decided to buy this album. I'm glad I did and he has done a great job. He's got a smooth, lullaby like voice that reminds me of Brad. The band coudldn't have gone with a better guy; look forward to hearing more.

Super!!! Beste Band die es gibt auch mit Rome einfach unschlagbar, defenitiv das Geld wert sich mal ne CD zu kaufen !

悪くないです。 新ヴォーカルのROMEはおそらく努力の人。多分、才能よりも豊富な練習と経験により技術を研いたような感じ。 センスは良いし、歌心も良い。ジャマイカのソウルがあります。 でも、「sublime」と考えてきくと違う気がする。 スタンスは近いけど、根っこの部分がブラッドと正反対。 別物として聴けば、新しいこともしてるし、良いバンドだと思うけど… 10年20年以上聴けるアルバムではないです。

It must not be expected that this will sound like Sublime - it's Sublime with Rome. This is a great band in their own right. In my opinion this album is more consistent than Sublimes, you can decide whether this is good or bad. There are a few dud songs in my view, but some crackers too. The album isn't amazing, because across the board it isn't strong enough, but it still is a great album that I love. Thoroughly pleased.
