5.0 out of 5 stars Reamonn - Get a life outside Germany/France etc - PLEASE!!!!, August 3, 2003

Another great album reserved for those who have been lucky enough to 'stumble' across this fantastic, predominantly German band (the lead singer, Rea Garvey is Irish though). All tracks are of course in English so why they have not been promoted in English speaking continents who knows!
The album starts with a moody intro which joins into the title track 'Beautiful Sky' which is verging on pop/rock but with a great hook in the chorus. The track 'Star' is more of a ballad/rock track, again brilliantly executed with precision vocals. The next five tracks are of equal standard. Very cathchy chorus's and probably best described as a mix of prog/alternative and pop rock. The album continues to ooze quality to the end. The bonus track 'Back Again' is a rock/bluesy song spontaniously recorded after the band had completed the album and this signs the set off perfectly (one of the best on the album and I hate the blues!). I've bought my mate this album who in turn has bought two more copies. My neighbour has also ordered it having heard it once.
Don't miss this one (or their previous two albums) and you too can have discoved one of musics most overlooked/understated treasures. Only wish I could see them live but they only seem to tour in Germany. Buy it - you'll definitely love it. My album of the year so far!

3.0 out of 5 stars Capable, but not compelling, May 6, 2006

This review is from: Beautiful Sky (Audio CD)

The music is very much MOR pop, big full arrangements, guitars churning but buried in the mix, good male vocals mic'd with a fair amount of depth, the whole thing sounds like a solo project by one of the guys from Abba. That's probably an unfair euro dig, but it fits. The problem is that as pleasant as the music is (basically all girlfriend songs), it never quite hits any memorable hooks. A good example is "Strong", all good stuff building up to something, but . . . it doesn't happen. The "I know you're strong" line ends up being the main hook, but it should just be the supporting line, and I doubt two hours from now I'd be able to sing it for you. Oh well, if you pop for it you won't feel ripped off, it's nice stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Music to your ears, November 19, 2003

Hey people I am a big fun of Reamonn and I wish they could come to USA for example, the cd "Beutifull Sky" is very good; however I believe that the 1st album \Tuesday\ is even better and I highly recommend it to everyone. It is a different music than many of you are used hearing in this country but is well worth of listening to it.
