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.

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!


The record is set to Reef   April 16, 2002
Roger I. Camara Lemarroy (monterrey, nuevo leon Mexico)
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.


No matter what others say, especially this guy earlier   June 17, 2001

It is still a stompin' album. If you're a reef fan, then yes you'd notice it sounds a weee bit different to the earlier stuff, but so what? This guy above obviously doesn't have a clue. If you like rock 'n roll, the album is a must for ya. It blends all sorts of rock and the album varies in the tones of songs, as they have managed earlier, which makes it unrepetetive and never dull. Buy it!
