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

If you like Sublime buy this album. If you don't know if you like Sublime you should STILL buy this album. If you don't like Sublime, then why are you reading this review?

Sublime's first 3 records 40oz. to Freedom, Robbin' the Hood, and Sublime were all great hits. They established the band quite well and gave them a quite large following. After front man Bradley Nowell's death following Sublime(album) the band had many incomplete and rough recordings of songs they were working on. Those songs are what we hear on Second Hand Smoke.
While I don't think Second Hand Smoke holds up with the first 3 albums, most of all Robbin' the Hood, it is still a solid album with many great tracks. The recording quality of many of the songs is a bit rough, but considering the circumstances it's quite understandable and hardly diminishes enjoyment of the album. The better tracks on this album are(in order they appear on the album):
-Doin' Time [Uptown Dub]
-Get Out! [Remix]
-Romeo
-New Realization
-Slow Ride
-Chick on my Tip
-Trench Town Rock
-Drunk Drivin'
The first half of the album is definitley much stronger than the second, but all in all a great album. Also contrary to what I've read a few places the versions of Saw Red and Badfish on this album are no different from the ones heard on 40oz. to Freedom and Robbin' the Hood; they most likely just threw them in as filler.
In conclusion I say this album is definitely a good album to purchase if you already own Sublime's first 3 albums and enjoy them, but if you don't buy one of them instead.
 Raw Sublime February 20, 2007
This album combines a small dosage of the catchy, addictive sound of the Self-titled with a big hit of fluid rhymes and deep pervasive beats of 40 Oz. and just the right amount of underground, truly raw, explicit sound of Robbin the Hood. The overall flow of the songs can disappoint, but the disc is of excellent use on the CDJ's...
