But, when Sublime covers lesser known Jamaican cuts such as the Slick's "Johnny Too Bad" or Willie Williams' "Armagideon Time" (which is hidden underneath the layer of a Sublime original) the band lets the audience know "We know what we're talking about even if you don't!" Maybe the band is playing loving tributes or maybe they're ripping off a neglected genre. Of course there are multiple Bob Marley covers. bounce alto and tenor off each other, it's as powerful as Jah's judging finger. solo tune "Shame in Dem Game." The jam is filled with breakdowns and roots rhythm and when Brad Nowell and H.R. Halfway through the first disc, a live recording features Sublime and H.R. The real treat is in the cache of unreleased covers. The live cuts repeat many of the same Sublime songs, which isn't bad as it shows how the band progressed over their almost decade-long career.

Sublime's rarities box set Everything Under the Sun blends together many different recording dates and live cuts, which is bound to delight fans and confuse newcomers.
