I don't know if this has been seeded here before, but here it comes:

As with any good band, sublime's music has been growing and evolving ever since their creation. 
Old songs become new ones, new songs become more mature and refined, and finally you'll get a recorded track 
worthy of being released on a studio album. But, as the old adage goes, sometimes it's not the destination
but journey. That, in essence is the point of the retrospective Sublime bootleg Sinsemilla '86 - '96. 
The tracklist of Sinsemilla represents, as the title suggests, tracks Sublime's music from their inception 
in 1986, all the way until their ultimate demise in 1996.

The problem with the tracklist, however, is that the quality of the music does not grow accordingly. 
It would seem that the music would get better near the end of the disc, when the opposite happens to be true. 
The first 13 tracks on this 19 track disc are arguably the best, with the amazing (that they didn't release it) 
Fighting Blindly as the first track. This rare gem was an early version of Burritos from the 1996 self-titled lp,
and probably a better version at that. From there the disc goes into other unreleased tracks, plus demo versions 
of more popular Sublime songs. New Realization is a folk-rock revenge piece, and Roots of Creation, one of 
Sublime's earliest songs, echoes Romeo, also contained on this disc. The disc also contains Perfect World, 
which is probably one of Sublime's best unreleased tracks. From there, the disc goes into a freestyle, catching 
bits of UB40's Johnny Too Bad and an acoustic cover of Bob Marley's Trenchtown Rock.

After this, however, the disc doesn't get much better. Not to say that it isn't good, but it's not what is 
expected. A half-baked demo of What I Got is interesting to hear, but it's much better to listen to the 
real thing. Garbage Grove, the demo for Garden Grove, is aptly titled. The Foreman Freestyle could have been 
left off and not missed. The only gem in the last 6 tracks is an acoustic version of Saw Red, which originated
as a duet with Gwen Stefani of No Doubt.

The music on Sinsemilla is worth obtaining (as MCA found out, releasing many tracks on Second Hand Smoke 
and even more on Acoustic: Bradley Nowell & Friends), but only true Sublime fans will appreciate it, 
and that's basically who this set is for.
