Southern California party boys Sublime hit a soulful, frat-boy nerve with their sunny combination of ska, funk, punk, and pop. The two-disc set GOLD covers a lot more ground than the abbreviated 20TH-CENTURY MASTERS set, and is therefore a better place to turn for a comprehensive overview of the band. Though GOLD doesn't have much new to offer long-time fans, it does cull the best moments from the group's three studio albums, giving a complete picture of these friendly West Coast punkers, and providing a suitable soundtrack for polishing off a six-pack en route to Venice Beach.
