Actually, I would've liked to have seen a cover of Caress Me Down too, although a big part of why I like this album is that it doesn't cover all of Sublime's big hits. It takes a few of the lesser known songs (including some of my favourites, like Work That We Do and Same In the End) and puts a new spin on them. Mind you, Pennywise's cover of Same In the End is easily the least inspired of the whole album, essentially being a note-for-note re-record of the Sublime version, but even still I dig it.
The Greyboy Allstars do a nice jazz instrumental on Doin' Time which is cool, since that song's been covered and remixed ad nauseum. It's just a track that lends itself well to that sort of thing, and kudos goes to the Allstars for taking it in a previously unexplored direction.
I've heard rumours that there's another tribute album in the works, so if the track listing on this one isn't to your liking, you can wait for the next one and see if it suits you more.
