‘OHHHHH YERRR’ says I as the opening track ‘Dont Stop the Sandman’ flies through the speakers at 300mph, hitting the listener directly in the face. Rock Sugar, in my eyes, are a very comical band rather than metal. Can you really imagine Metal and Pop combining as one to make awesome music? Not really, but it works. You’ve got everything on this album - From Ozzy to Bon Jovi, Motley Crue to Queen and even KISS to Journey. You are sure to have one hell of a good party when listening to this album.
I am a true metal head/mosher, whatever you want to call it, but from the moment I put Reimaginator on I was truly blown away at how much fun and how party pop like it is. It’s true when I say that all the musicians in Rock Sugar can play their instruments, and can play them bloody good. The album is filled up with thirteen excellently constructed and well played tracks which get the listener jumping up down to the crazy metal beat-downs while singing like a drunk to pop hits. Absolutely EPIC!
This is only Rock Sugar’s first album and I would like to say I’d like to hear more of this amazing music which I call: Dance like a Idiot while singing along to pop metal’ but I doubt it will be called that. What can we expect on a new Rock Sugar album? Maybe some Lady Gaga ‘Pokerface’ mixed with Slayer’s ‘Raining Blood’ who knows, but it’s bound to be epic. It there’s one sentence that best sums up rock sugar it is this one:
“Rock Sugar is the new cocaine for both metal and pop lovers alike” and you can quote me on that lads. Because this score breaking system of an album is the best album I’ve heard this year.” [Scoring machine broken]
Genre : Metal

Seen these guys at Download - was mental fun, but there were moments when you get ready to sing along and find that they start singing song you’ve never heard before. There’s a video of me and my mate air-guitaring passionately, opening our mouths to sing, then looking at each other in confusion.
