      LOOK AT ALL LOVE WE FOUND: TRIBUTE TO SUBLIME / VA

    All Music Guide Review

    Sadly, the tribute album has gone from being an honor bestowed upon an artist by his or her brethren to a marketplace cash cow. "Tributes" are often cranked out at breakneck pace by no-name imitators and studio musicians, and filled with marginal renditions of an artist's material (often with even just a debut album to go on). Thankfully, this tribute to Sublime bucks the prevailing trends, and the rewards pay off tenfold. An impressively diverse cast of musicians from a wide range of styles and genres participate, showing just how much Sublime's music transcended classification. Hip-hop (represented brilliantly by Michael Franti and Spearhead's "What I Got"), Latin (Ozomatli, Los Lobos), indie rock (Mike Watt, Camper Van Beethoven), and funk-rock (G. Love, Fishbone) make up just some of the stellar contributions. It's a fitting tribute to a band whose time in the spotlight was too painfully short, but whose influence and impact will be measured for generations of punk fans to come. [A clean version of this album was issued for those searching for a profanity-free alternative.] ~ Rob Theakston, All Music Guide
