Reviews Customer Reviews for Getaway      Freakin' Awesome      Rating:      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!     Customer Reviews for Getaway Cd      The record is set to Reef      Rating:      Reef's 4 studio album could be considered by some an exploration into american-seudo-pop-rock-music by some or an effort to finally have a huge comercial hit by others, yet this classifications fall only short of what "Getaway" really represents. Yes, this cd does have catchy tunes, and Yes most of the songs are radio friendly, but this doesnt mean that reef has compromised any of its music to sell out. No, this is just the logical step up from their previous album. Here every musician plays their original instrument (unlike "Rides" where everyone played different instruments) therefore creating more solid and concise music. The music is clearly inspired by american blues and grassroots music, for several songs contain blues type choruses or melodic riffs that set the pace of the song. One thing that is clear in this album is its production. Everything sounds very clean, in comparisson to their previous albums, but for reef it may be a little too clean. Most of the songs lack that scratchy sound the instruments made on previous albums, stringers voice is not pushed to higher limits, and most of the songs lack that extra punch that makes you dance to the music. But do not be mistaken, this is a great album, maybe not the bands best, but a well made effort that could have been an international breakthrough for the band. Most notable on this cd are "Set the record straight" a rock song that compares to "place your hands" and "naked" "Levels" is a beautiful ballad, maybe the best that the band has written, "getaway" another catchy rock song, and "all i want" another great soft track.
