5.0 out of 5 stars Re-Invented, November 7, 2003

Madonna reinvents her music and image all the time, and few people give her a lot of static about it. Sugar Ray does it and they lose 'fans'. Welcome to the REAL music world, if you constantly do the same thing with different words, you'll get old fast, look at Boyzone.

This album is completely different that "Lemonade & Brownies" and "Floored". Sugar Ray is much mellower. The heavy rock guitar work is replaced with Mark McGrath's acoustic guitar.

I really think that album marked in a turning point in the guys' lives, particularly Stan Frazier's. His mother died and the album is dedicated to her.

Hearing "Every Morning" on the radio is what originally prompted me to buy this. I listened to it over and over again. Then "Someday" and "Falls Apart" were in the radio line-up. I listened to them all the time. Finally, I put the CD in and just pushed play. When I listened to it, I 'discovered' "Ode To The Lonely Heart," which really describes the feelings you have after a relationship ends.

5.0 out of 5 stars PLEASO READO ESO REVIEWO, November 29, 1999

Well, it's just, great. What can I say? Sugar Ray is a great band. I personally love their mixed and very diverse style. For example: Live & Direct (track 5) starts with this groovy guitar tune, adds a back beat and various other things, then breaks into a jazzy song. It's like rock, pop, jazz, blues, reggae, and swing all combined. Their second CD, 'Floored', suprised the heck out of everyone; their hit song was "Fly" (remember that) which was a reggae-type song, and the rest of the CD was like punk rock. Their current CD, '14:59' is not as suprising; their hit songs are "Every Morning" and "Someday" and the songs are all mixed. The CD begins with a hard rock guitar track entitled "New Direction". The mood is now set for a rock CD. But suddenly, the music turns around 180 degrees as Mark McGrath leads the band into the quiet, smooth "Every Morning". Now the correct mixed mood is set for the CD. If you are still reading this review, go buy '14:59'! If you want more reviewing, read on. Track 3, "Falls Apart", begins with a rock guitar again and then breaks into a "Fly"- type beat. Tracks 4, 7, 9, and 12 are the heavy stuff such as what is found on 'Floored'. 2, 5, 6, 8, and 10 are the jazzy "Fly"-type that some of you expect. 3 and 11 are somewhere in-between those two, and 1 and 13 are just plain wierd. To summarize this review, BUY THE CD. '14:59' is a great mix, and you'll like it no matter what music you like. Sugar Ray-- thanks for a great CD. On a personal note- I hope the band doesn't fade away as is somewhat implied by the title of this CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars a pleasant surprise, December 14, 1999

I hated Sugar Ray af first; I never liked the song 'Fly.' But after hearing 'Every Morning,' I bought 14:59, and I was pleasantly surprised. They have an easy, feel-good sound that is enjoyable. In addition to 'Every Morning,' I liked 'Someday,' 'Ode to the Lonely-Hearted,' 'Even Though,' and 'Abaracadabra.' It's not music legends are made of, but it's fun.
