Chronchitis

Sublime protegees Slightly Stoopid play skillful, funk-inflected reggae with a jam band looseness and flashes of hip-hop savvy, and have garnered a rabid following through their relentless touring and indie releases. This fifth album dips into the old-skool pool, with appearances from Money Mark and Gangstar's Guru, but mostly maintains their usual m.o. of smooth island grooves ("Ever Really Wanted"), melodic funk ("Mind on Your Music"), and pretty acoustic folk-pop ("Girl U So Fine").
