On their major label bow, the band combines hip-hop DJ turntable scratches with combustible guitars, and L.A. freak-funk bass for a grinding, house-a-billy sound. Despite all the friction on FLOORED, though, Sugar Ray aren't afraid to be as sweet as their name implies. "Fly," featuring Super Cat, is a wonderful ballad that gives the band more depth than your typical beer can-smashing, spit-in-your-face funk-rockers. So jab your way through the record store lines and get FLOORED.

Rolling Stone (12/25/97, pp.164-166) - "...Sugar Ray are rock 'n' rap polymaths, assured pros who get it on with radio-friendly effectiveness in every modern-rock genre..."

What do you get when you have a singer with movie-star good looks (Mark McGrath) fronting a hard-edged pop band? In Sugar Ray's case, that formula spelled massive commercial success during the late 1990s and early 2000s. After starting off as a power chord-driven hard-rock band, Sugar Ray softened their sound, and scored big with such ska-tinged pop ditties as "Fly" and "Every Morning."
