Small Pebble

Common Rider says:
Here is a Sublime era reggae toast break. Mass' favorite song from the Unity Music album. Michaels: "Okay, maybe it was ill advised for me ever to do anything rap-like. Maybe it wasn't. I don't know. We do things, as people. We do things." Many fans are quite sure that the right thing was done in this case as Small Pebble was an absolute crowd-favorite on tour. ...
Blackbirds Vs. Crows
pop, rock, reggae/ska, punk pop, power pop, punky ska
This song is a rock song with a dark, minor key feel. The topic is warfare. Backup vocals on the choruses provided by
Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba.
Long After Lights Out
pop, rock, reggae/ska, punky reggae
A dark, melancholy reggae-pop type thing with some underlying thematic spookiness. The lyrical theme is death. Note the Crickets during the breakdown and appearance of some understated sax on the very last refrain.
Midnight Passenger
pop, rock, reggae/ska, reggae, punk, ska
This is song is a tribute to classic reggae music and deals with the redemptive power of soul music in general.
Michaels: "This is the best non-collaborative song I've ever written. I say this in all modesty because I've written some crap. But I feel pretty confident that if all else fails I can grab on to this one at judgement day and say, 'fuck you God, I did something good once.'
