These Southern California frat rockers have learned what they do best. Gone are the damaged noisefests that recall a more polished Rage Against the Machine and middle-period Stooges. Filling those spots are lighthearted ditties such as "Even Though" and "Falls Apart" that boast tropical guitar flourishes and almost Beatlesque harmonies. On 1997's Floored, the breeziness of "Fly" was the exception; on 14:59, it is the rule. Sugar Ray have cleaned up, sanitized, and civilized themselves, which might not be a bad thing in terms of accessibility and airplay. Some fans, however, might miss the hard-partying, screaming misanthropes of yore. And even the inclusion of old-school rapper KRS-One on "Live & Direct" doesn't make up for Sugar Ray's loss of innocence--although their shimmering cover of Steve Miller's "Abracadabra" inspires affection. Another saving grace is that they haven't lost their sense of humor, dubbing the album 14:59 as a homage to Andy Warhol's 15 fleeting minutes of fame. It would be an error, however, to conclude that Sugar Ray's hourglass is running out. --Jaan Uhelszki

Sugar Ray - Softer sound

I bought the CD based on hearing their hit. I like the softer pop sound of this CD as opposed to some of their harder CDs. Also, all the songs don't sound alike.

This cd has alot of good songs from Sugar Ray, but it's not the best. Sugar ray has alot of good songs out and is a real popular band. It's an okay cd just to check out. The best song that is on this cd is (Glory)

Pop (rock/hip-hop) songs for your girlfriend (boyfriend & U)

Bottom line: a very enjoyable album for ANYONE with an open mind. Girlfriends, boyfriends, single people, married people, old, young, male, female.
You probably already know (and like) at least 3 songs from this album: "Every Morning", "Someday", "Falls Apart". So, you're already off to a great start.
And, for those of you old-school Sugar Ray ROCK fans, there's plenty here for you. Try "Personal Space Invader", "Aim For Me", "Glory", and "Burning Dog" if you enjoy cranking it to 11. Actually, this album is predominantly rock inspired...if you've listened to the WHOLE THING.
Hip hop fans will find "Live and Direct" featuring KRS-One to be a pleasant little surprise.
80's fans will take to their spiced up rendition of Steve
Miller's "Abracadabra".
And, they've got some nice softer tunes in the form of "Ode to the Lonely Hearted" and "Even Though" (a song which seems to have jumped off the time machine from the 50's or something...good stuff).
And, of course there a bits and pieces of that trademark Sugar Ray humor thrown about the album. Like they always say, Sugar Ray is all about having fun. Period. If things like "image" matter to you, then steer clear of this band. If dogmatic adherence to one specific style of music (and ONLY one specific
style of music) excites you then steer clear of this band.
But, if you like having fun with your music (a.k.a. ENJOYING it) and if you can appreciate diverse musical influences, then here ya' go.

Of course every chick loves this band and especially Sugar Ray, the voice and looks makes a groovy impression. But I saw him in a MuchMusic interview and he seems like a really nice down-to-earth kind of guy, no ego. These are really good catchy tunes for your mom and girlfriend. By the way, they did this hockey song (not on this album) that rocks!! I love the line: Jesus saves, now he shoots and scores David Rehak

What the hell happened to music? How these no talent fools are popular should be a Nova episode. This guy has to be THE worst singer ever. He sounds like an American Idol throwaway. PEOPLE, this is not good music, don't be brainwashed by these MTV babies. Sugar Ray, Go Away!!!!!!!!!!!
