Bands like Sublime 40 Oz. to Freedom and No Doubt Tragic Kingdom drew off the influences of English two-tone ska revivalists from the early eighties, especially The Spec which was popular at the time. "Here in your Bedroom" was the big single from this album, enjoying a lot of radio time. Other notable songs are "Mabel" and "Miles Away".
