Product Description: On their follow-up to 1999's Right Back, the Long Beach Dub Allstars continue stirring their musical melting pot. Wonders of the World combines heavy dub, shimmery pop, bouncy ska, and aggro alt-rock into a disc that roller-coasters between spaced out ("Wonders Dub II" and "Grass Cloud") and punked out ("No Way"). The ex-Sublime members also pulled in some talent from the hip-hop world, getting will.i.am from Black Eyed Peas on "Sunny Hours" and Chali2na from Jurassic 5 on "Life Goes On." Even with all the special appearances and genre-crossing, though, the Allstars don't crack the surface, covering the same ground that bands like Sugar Ray and 311are already treading. While the band does flow seamlessly between rock and reggae, Wonders of the World feels coated in a tepid, radio-friendly gloss that, despite a few bright spots, dulls by the end of the disc. --Jennifer Maerz


Customer Reviews


5 stars Get over it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, im really gettin pissed after readin theze reviewz. LBDA is not Sublime. Get over it!! Bradley died and they moved on. You should 2. Be happy with the muzac that Sublime put out. There a great group and should be appreciated for their past sound. Just to emphasize one more time, LBDA iz not SUBLIME!!!! YAH!!!!


4 stars I'm Impressed!
I'm sure you've heard, Long Beach Dub Allstars is not Sublime. In some songs there is little bit of the Sublime style, but just a tiny bit; I didn't expect them to be Sublime either. I expected something totally different from what LBDA really is. And I like them alot more than I thought I would.


5 stars awesome album
When you buy this, don't expect quite the same as Sublime, but it's still awesome in its own right. Some songs are remniscent of Sublime but there's a lot more dub and reggae. I can't say the singer is quite as good as Bradley but he's still quite good and I love listening to this album on my ipod. It's worth the money just for "Sunny Hours," "Listen to DJ's," and "Lonely End" but the other songs are awesome too and this CD is a hell of a lot better than 99% of the crap they play on the radio. This is one of my newest favorite bands in its own right.


1 stars Pathetic
I Bought this cd beacause there first cd right back was great.
Theres one good song on this cd the rest suck.
Right back was nice and fresh almost like sublime this one sounds
totally diffrent its offspring meets britney spears meets sublime there vocals are okay but music wise they sucked on this cd.


5 stars All Around Mastery
Most people don't like LBDAS because they expect to hear Sublime. Long Beach Dub Allstars is not Sublime, but they are a collection of incredibly talented musicians with a wide range of styles. This album has everything, great songs by both Opie and RAS-1. Does anyone know if this album is out of print?? I'm not able to find any place that stocks it.
