    What other album has had a Thank You track? I can't remember ever seeing or hearing one. This was pretty damn cool that they thanked everyone that helped them, and also gave a little kind of works cited page for the songs they covered.

    There is a longer version of this track, but unfortunately it is very hard to find. They go on to thank a bunch more people/bands/etc. On SHS, they did a dub of that full-length Thanx track, but with no words at all! It would have been so easy to just put the words in, but they didn't. You can find it on Youtube, under Thanx (Cassette version). Either way, great for Sublime to thank everyone who helped them and all the musicians they borrowed from.

    I think its pretty obvious after listening to interviews that this is definitely Brad's vocals.

    Regardless, what a fucking amazing way to dole out thanks, rather than tucking away a paragraph or two in the liner notes that everyone ignores, lay down a sick bass line with drums and a guitar and tell people how you really feel.
