Amazon.com Most posthumous albums are shrouded in a sense of morbid nostalgia and grim curiosity. In Sublime's case, there was also some cruel irony to contend with: the California nuevo-punk outfit's promising self-titled major-label debut and commercial breakout was released barely a month after frontman Brad Nowell's death from a heroin overdose--and their de facto demise. But such was the Long Beach band's longtime following that raiding the vaults, however sparse, was inevitable. Released 18 months after Nowell's death, Second Hand Smoke more than lived up to its title, cobbling together a collection of outtakes from their debut and padding them out with (sometimes multiple) remixes of old tracks like "Doin' Time," "April 29," and the Gwen Stefani duet, "Saw Red." There's a standout cover of Bob Marley's "Trenchtown Rock," but a lot of the rest feels like the incomplete discards and second (or third) choices they obviously were. --Jerry McCulley Product Description Since the July 1996 release of the now multi-platinum album Sublime, the band has sold almost 5 million albums. As a result, catalog titles such as 40 Oz. To Freedom and Robbin' the Hood have exploded in sales. Second-Hand Smoke, the new album from Sublime, features never before released songs recorded during the Sublime album sessions. Highlights include the group's cover of Bob Marley's "Trenchtown Rock" and a re-mixed version of "Saw Red," a duet featuring Gwen Stefani (No Doubt).
