5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a fresh, new sound!, January 18, 2000
By SK (USA) - See all my reviews
Like a cross between Beck and G.Love, these guys have a fresh soulful groove with a an original sound that is all their own. I especially liked "Chocolate" and " Does My Color Scare You". I'm picky about my music, but I HIGHLY recommend this CD.

They're like the Average White Band of the 90s. Soulful grooves, hip lyrics, cool melodies. Awesome album!

5.0 out of 5 stars So Funky!, April 11, 1999
By A Customer
I love the Getaway People's debut album. Their style caught my eye when they opened for Barenaked Ladies this November, and I have been hooked ever since. Their music is brimming with funk and soul and listening to their CD just puts me in such a great mood. You have to try them!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars funky grooves
I bought this album after seeing these guys, who hail from Norway, opening for DMB in '98. They put on an energetic, quirky performance which this album captures nicely. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Funky!
This CD is absolutely excellent. There's not a bad track on it. It's pretty funky and a good one to sing along to (if you're alone!), dance to or chill to. Read more

I picked this one up out of the cut out bins for a buck. Pretty good white boy Hip-Hop, if that's your thing. Similar in style in tone to The Stereo MCs. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars one sweet album
Every cut on this record is good enough for repeated listens. "Chocolate", "Mr. E", and "Get a Handle On It" are particularly good. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars It rarely leaves the player
This is such a good album. I picked it up from a listening booth and I NEVER buy stuff from these. Why are these guys not better known? Read more
