Haven't heard yet, but this will be the band's second Modern single next week says Billboard.
I Love College was decent at best. But I'm not a huge fan of the rap / rock sound on alternative.

Ugh. I'm really not looking forward to seeing him on the Blink-182 tour in September.

This is nowhere near as bad as I Love College. I can totally listen to it if I just hear Cee-Lo's parts and mute Asher's raps.

I assumed Asher Roth was a band based on what I Love College sounds like.

I'm still trying to figure out who Sugar Ray is myself. I mean, there's no Ray in that band.

That just reminded me of a commercial that was played on MTV during the late 90s I think for the VMAs one year when Mark McGrath signs an autograph for some kid and when he gives it back, the kid says "Thanks Mr. Ray! Wait. Who the hell is Mark?" |

I was like 8 during Sugar Ray's heyday, and for years I thought Mark was a solo artist that went by the name of Sugar Ray. It probably wasn't until I saw him on that talk show that I learned his real name.

It probably wasn't until I saw him on that talk show that I learned his real name. When I first heard "Fly" I hadn't even seen any pictures of the band so I stupidly assumed it was a black R&B type artist that went by the name Sugar Ray. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a rock band with four white dudes in it. |

You know....that's the point of why I Love College is sooooo bad....the only way it had a chance to sound good is late at night, with the lights out, drunk or stoned outta your mind. 'nuff said. I could care less now if this guy becomes the voice of a generation (highly unlikely) he's already in my "i could care less" artist category and I'll never bother to even listen to anything else.

It would be hilarious if he went down as a one-hit wonder novelty act based on that bullshit, not-self-aware-enough-to-be-awesome-satire song. It sounds like he didn't deserve his own DJ Drama-certified official mixtape after all, if reviews for Asleep in the Bread Aisle are any indication. I still wanna hear it, though.
