1. Sirens (feat. The Dirty Heads) - An amazing opening track, This song showcases some major hip-hop influences. The instrumental is amazingly well written and performed. The vocals performed by Rome are amazing, The Dirty Heads out the cherry on top of an already all around great song. This song is a definite stand out track.

2. Wherever You Go - This song was the first single of the album, and personally i feel that was the smartest move the band could have made. This song really shows off the overall mood of the album. The instrumental is very much catchy, The vocals are amazingly performed.

3. Brazillia - This song is one of my personal favorites. The track showcases the entire bands incredible talent. The instrumental has one of the most Ska vibes i heard in a long time. The vocals fit the instrumental perfectly.

4. House Party - This track has the potential to be my favorite just because of the lyrics. The lyrics style really reminds me of old school Sublime (RIP Bradley). The instrumental is amazing, The vocals are very fitting to the vibe of the song.

5. Been Losing Sleep - Another one of my personal favorites. The instrumental is a pure chill reggae beat, The vocals are performed amazingly. This song is so catchy yet chill at the same time.

6. Promise Land Dub - Another chill/relaxing track, This song is pure reggae heaven. The instrumental is borderline perfection, The vocals are some of the best on the album.This is another one of my personal favorites and one of the biggest stand out tracks on the album.

7. Best Of Me - This track is more punk than reggae. The instrumental is incredible, The vocals are so fitting to the instrumental due to the distortion used. This track might be my personal favorite on the album.

8. Put Down Your Weapon - This track is amazingly complex. It starts out with a major rock instrumental that switches to a reggae-ish electronic. The vocals are amazingly performed. This is another stand out track.

9. Run And Hide - This track is the shortest track on the album. 1:15 of pure in your face punk. This is another track that might be my personal favorite. The instrumental is a heavier punk, The vocals are amazingly well done.

10. Skankin - Another major major ska vibe, This track is easily the most catchy/danceable track on the album. The instrumental is amazing, The vocals fit the instrumental perfectly. This is another stand out track.

11. Gasoline - Another one of my favorites, This song closes the album just as well as "Sirens" opened it. The instrumental is amazingly performed, The vocals are pure perfection. Another stand out track.

For me Sublime is a sacred band due to being one of the first bands played around me at a young age, So it really makes me happy that Sublime With Rome makes their own style of music. While there are major simularities (Of Course!) they are not just re-recording all the Bradley era music.

Overall Rating: 10/10
