Sugar Ray - Floored

a great cd

As the owner of Floored, 14:59 and their self-titled cd, i can easily say this one is the best of those 3 (yes i am aware there are other albums by Sugar Ray). Less pop-ish, but not necessarily "hard" rock, this cd is very intense and enjoyable if one doesn't mind curses here and there. July 18, 2005

wow! ohhh....

After listening to the previews of some of the songs on this website I have deemed this album "bad" or "not fly". I suggest you spend your money on arcade games or fountain soda at the mall. Or if you do buy it, spend your remaining change on some glue so you can at least listen to it higher than a kite. March 23, 2005

Stud album and best Sugar Ray

First of all for the people who said this one is lame...

Just shut up and go listen to In the Pursuit of Leisure losers.

With that said this is Floored, which came out in 1997 two years removed from Lemonade and Brownies. They don't even sound the same because L&B was hard as hell to comprehend while Floored was easier to access. Also who could forget "Fly" which made the album look awkwardly 1-sided with a light song and 10 harder. Now onto the review shall we?

1. RPM: Intro is awesome and so are DJ Homicide's race car samples with the sounds to match on guitar. 5/5

2. Breathe: The song barely gives you time to breathe because it's exceptional and stiff. 5/5

3. Anyone: More upbeat on the chorus then the other two were but still very good. 4.5/5

4. Fly: The big hit song...what else to say? 4/5

5. Speed Home California: Intesnity of thrash and punk styling make this one a winenr! 5/5

6. High Anxiety: Starts off slowly but builds momentum. 4/5

7. Tap, Twist, Snap: Okay song...not as strong as the others. 3/5

8. American Pig: Guilty pleasure song of mine! Great chorus and the openining and intermitten guitars are awesome. 6/5

9. Stand and Deliver: This is like Southern meets Ska in a sense but it makes due for a good song. 4/5

10. Cash: If you can stand the F-bomb a lot then this is a good speed song with funny effects from Homicide. 4.5/5

11. Invisible: Slow down and power hitting metal song. 4.5/5

12. Right Direction: short but good for the time it had. 3.5/5

13. Fly W/out Cat: See #4. 4/5

Overall rating: 4.8/5

-This was major improvement from L&B and singaled the height of intensity for Sugar Ray. Unfortunately, the intensity died down some for 14:59 and all together on the self titled and ITPOL. But take this for what it's worth and that's a bay side trash outing which will never be forgotten by hardcore fans and old school Sugar Ray fans alike. February 24, 2005

I JUST WANNA FLY

If you don't have this, and you like Sugar Ray, get this. There are some other songs by this band I'd like to get an album of, but I cannot find them. What's that all about? Ah, well. Who gives a crap, huh? There are 2 kinds of "FLY" on this album. One is just the song, and the other, is with this guy in the song who starts it off and continues as the song goes on. I like that version, but then again, that might just be me. Peace. November 11, 2004

WORST CASE OF SELLING OUT EVER!

i got this CD for like 3 dollars in a thrift stoor when i was like 13, because i was nostalgic of Fly, and come on it was only 3 dollars. This CD is so great, and Sugar Ray could've made their 3 CDs after this one so rocking and so bad ass if they hadn't have sold out so hard. Damn that fly! I hoped and prayed their new stuff would go back to rocking hard and being awesome so i got the self titled.....bad move, so when in the pursuit of leisure came out i didnt even give it a chance. I mean the CD wasn't even going well with Pop fans so i knew it had to be a big crap fest. But who knows maybe after a bombing pop album they'll go back to their old sound? Anyway, RPM is the intro track and really makes me think of that show Titus, with all the car noises and all. American Pig is the best song on the whole. It is a great track and Sugar Ray's best song ever. Download it to give you a taste of what you'll get from this CD. June 30, 2004
