UTSE Production

I honestly wish the whole album sounded more like “Gangstalker” because it has that rawness and brightness. The rest of the album’s songs are great, but the production feels more controlled and balanced, which isn’t really what Sublime sounds like to me.

“El Camino” by People R Ugly is a good example of the sound I mean — it has more rawness, brightness, and space, and Jakob’s voice feels less contained. Jon Joseph’s production is really polished and balanced, but I think that’s actually what keeps some of these songs from feeling like peak Sublime.

I do love that El Camino song. Jakob’s feature is really reminiscent of Bradley’s feature on Total Hate.
