4.0 out of 5 stars Reef Continue To Glow, September 5, 2000

By	David L (Bangor, ME United States) - See all my reviews

With the release of Getaway, Reef's fourth full CD, they have continued to evolve. Building on a foundation of the classic rock sound of Replenish and their masterpiece, Glow, along with the pop sensibilities of Rides, Getaway is a somewhat logical, albeit commercial step for the band. Gary Stringer's vocals are the most restrained of his career, and depending on how you feel about his unique vocal stylings, this is either good or bad. The CD kicks off with the one two punch of Set The Record Staright, a rocker that US radio could dearly use and then the riffy sounding Superhero. Next up is the brit-pop sounding title track, which chronicles the bands likeness for traveling. After a few other stand out tracks like Saturday, Solid and All I Want (which makes me want to get out my lighter and hold it up in power ballad glory) the CD ends with a bang. Pretender comes close to rivaling the most rocking tunes on Glow, while I Do Not Know What They Will Do is a sonic noise fest that would make Soundgarden proud. Add to this the plentiful b-sides that accompany each of their releases and Reef fans can rejoice in 2000!! Now if only US audiences could be exposed to this great band once again...c'mon Sony, release this CD here!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reef Just Gets Better & Better Each Time., April 7, 2001

By	A.N. "acca_dacca" (Auckland, New Zealand) - See all my reviews

Place Your Hands" & "Consideration were the songs that got me into this band back in 1997. I Quite enjoyed that CD (also after the purchase of "Glow" I bought thier "Replenish CD) & then came "Rides" that further impressed me & now they give us "Get Away" that completes my Reef collection for the time being.

This Cd should be a Definite Must. I love Stringer's Voice & that is the sort of voice that Rock Music should have & deserves. It kind of reminds me of Brian Johnson's vocal style from AC/DC (another SUPERB ROCK N' ROLLING BAND).

The Cd is filled with something for everyone & it sure is Catchy so come on in & join along in the fun that Reef continues to provide with yet another superb Rockig Album.

Standouts: Set The Record Straight, Superhero, All I Want, Hold On, Saturday (This will so go off at a Concert) & Levels.

So do yourselves a favour & get this Cd, It will be a worthy addition to your Cd collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Freakin' Awesome, June 12, 2003

Simply put, this CD is the best Reef CD besides "Glow." The songs are catchy and well written. Vox are incredible and the musicianship is tight. Reef is an incredible band with very little recogition (at least in the US). This album proves them to be one of the best out there, an in my opinion, ever!
