SoCal punk stalwarts who initially thrived in the orbit of Sublime's crossover success, Slightly Stoopid's earliest efforts were a mix of Descendents-derived California thrash and spirited, if amateur, attempts at soul and roots reggae. This disc collects their first two records for Bradley Nowell's Skunk label. Their self-titled debut is relatively straightforward punk while THE LONGEST BARREL RIDE features a fuller sound, more ambitious songwriting. and the type of grab bag eclecticism that could also be found on Subliime efforts like 40 OUNCES TO FREEDOM.
