Title: Forget Limp Bizkit, Sugar Ray Are the Ultimate Sellouts
Product review: Most supposed "sellout" bands in the rap metal scene just get shown on MTV incessantly to "sell out", but Sugar Ray are different. After wrapping up a tour with 311 and Incubus in 1998, the band headed back into the studio again. They were famous for producing a good metal song with funk guitars, so I picked this up the day it came out. What a waste! There is one good song, New Direction #1, and it is only 43 seconds long! Sugar Ray completely changed their style to easy acoustic ballads reminescent of well, no one. Maybe Sugar Ray won't be appealing 12 year old girls on their next effort, which I'm scared to even call an effort after 14:59. Buy their old stuff if you want real music, or check out Incubus, Deftones, (hed) p.e., Videodrone, or Far. Otherwise forget all good music and turn to pop for a wonderful happy time. Yay!, yay!, nay.
