Music reviews of 14:59

Music Review: A Musical Revolution for Sugar Ray
Rating: 5 Stars

1. New Direction: a "humble" spoof of 1980's death metal the boys grew up listening to. Possibly the last breath of "Floored" we may see.

2. Every Morning: a good summer anthem of which McGrath pours out lyrics of a long-lost angel, whom must have left her halo in McGrath's bed after the romance was done.

3. Falls Apart: the deepest song on the album. Offers a good tune to follow and strong lyrics from McGrath. The song bursts to pieces in the middle, but nicely comes back together. Good track.

4. Personal Space Invader: an interesting song from beginning to end about those annoying people that always seem to be nosing around in your business. Easily relatable.

5. Live and Direct: this track brings the usual sugar ray sound and adds a little rap by KRS-1. good song.

6. Someday: a slow song of a plea for a getaway with McGrath. This tune brings a good lyrical presence that the boys may have lacked in previous albums.

7. Aim For Me: an attept to hold on to "Floored", this song brings back the life of thierlast CD into 14:59. Although it probably doesn't belong on this album, it's still a good track.

8. Ode To the Lonely Hearted: one of the best tracks on the album, "Ode" offers a trademark sound for the "new" Sugar Ray. Similar to "Even Though", this song opens the doors for the Ray's next album.

9. Burning Dog: not too much to say about this track. not too shabby...

10. Even Though: See "Ode to the Lonely Hearted"

11. Abracadabra: although I wasn't crazy about the original, Sugar Ray remakes a classic and does a fine job doing it. McGrath offers some good vocals to this song that the original may have lacked. One of my favorite songs of the album.

12. Glory: as my favorite track on this album, "Glory" offers a great mix of a rock n' roll chorus with the quiet, drum filled verses. The song breaks down in the middle with an excellent guitar solo (thank you Rodney) and some scratching by DJ Homicide. A great party track (yes, this song does appear in American Pie).

13. New Direction: kind of circusy and ends the album on an interesting note.

14:59 truely is Sugar Ray. We may never seethe antics of Floored or Lemonade and Brownies, but we will always remember them. And for all the disgruntled punkers out there lookin for the old Sugar Ray: grab some hair gel, one of your spikes are falling to the side.
