Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Sugar Ray rose to semi-stardom in 1995 with a good-time rap metal album that featured goofball titles like "Scuzzboots" and "Danzig Needs a Hug." Apparently, fearing the label "comedy band," Sugar Ray struck back with Floored, which is more visceral and musically mature than their debut Lemonade and Brownies. The band still shows the influence of rap metal, but adds other tricks to its repertoire, including grunge, punk, power-pop, and even dancehall reggae. In addition, Sugar Ray have learned to write craftier, more memorable tunes that stand on their own even when the group resorts to impish, juvenile wordplay. --Jon Wiederhorn --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cool CD with great rockin' songs., May 3, 2000

If you're one of those people who likes Sugar Ray's new CD with songs like "Every Morning" and "Someday," don't go out and buy Floored thinking it's full of cute little ditties like their big hit "Fly". In fact, that is the only songs like that on the entire CD. The rest of the songs (except "Stand and Deliver") are hard, loud, and some are offensive. That's not to say that they aren't good, though. I love the songs "Tap, Twist, Snap" and "American Pig," but the funniest song on the entire CD is "Cash." If it weren't for that song, this CD might have slipped by without the Parental Advisory. "RPM" is pretty good, too, as is "Breathe." "Speed Home California" is OK, and I'd suggest listening to "High Anxiety" when you're in a bad mood (LET IT OUT! LET IT OUT!). If you like bands like Limp Bizkit and Sublime, then I'd suggest this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars tres bien!, February 13, 2000

This was a great cd. Fly was an ok song, in my opinion, but there are much better songs on the rest of this cd. for some reason, stand and deliver is my fav song off it. cash, the 1:12 song with at least 17 'explicit words' in it was funny, just because he swears so much. i really reccommend this to someone who likes the song 'faith' by limp bizkit but not to someone who likes ricky martin, nsync, 'someday' by sugar ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stud album and best Sugar Ray, February 23, 2005

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.
