Featuring the rhythm section of the late, great Sublime, the Long Beach Dub Allstars are a predictably freewheeling band of ganja-soaked, reggae-funk-punk dabblers with enough soul and good vibes to put their shtick over the top. Opening with a Clash-style dub-rock fusion, "Righteous Dub," and quickly moving on to sunny hip-hop-flavored pop on "My Own Life" and "Like A Dog," RIGHT BACK is a bubbly party record that could be a honky-reggae corollary to Len's PC rap-rock. Singer Opie Oritz hasn't quite found the loose-limbed beachcomber flow that made Sublime's Brad Nowell an alt-God (see the weak-willed tribute, "Fugazi"), but these jammy tracks aren't about words and tunes so much as spacious, sunny grooves. And groove-out they do. Jon Dolan

All Music Guide

Everything about this album boils down to expectations. Released by the remaining members of Sublime, with ample help from friends and guest musicians, Right Back is a loose collection of jams, half-realized songs, and silly, in your face attitude. Getting back to expectations -- if you're looking for the kind of clever lyrics and ultra catchy melodies that Sublime frontman Brad Nowell was known for you're going to be deeply disappointed. However, even though the pop sheen is gone, the SoCal loose vibes and attitude remain throughout the album, aided by guest singers like Bad Brains' HR and dancehall star Barrington Levy. Steve Kurutz
