  1. In spite of the "grunge revivalist" tag that gets hung on Morris and crew, though, Sugar doesn't have much of a retro feel; rather, it imagines a world in which My Morning Jacket and Band Of Horses woke up, got loose, cranked it up, and explored some of the darker, weirder corners of their world.
  2. Kerrang!

    Swirling, heady and claustrophobic at times, this is well worth further investigation. [21 Aug 2010, p.51]
  3. Dead Confederate have possibly made the best record out of all their contemporaries this year, which surely beckons the question 'How much longer can they be ignored?' Time to pay attention methinks...
  4. Lame lyrics aside, Sugar demonstrates Dead Confederate's natural talent for grunge atmospherics, but they could use some songwriting workshops before tackling their third effort.

    Sadly, nearly half the songs on the album are bland, boring, and, quite unabashedly, one-dimensional.
