Music reviews of Glow

Music Review: Glowing with excellence
Rating: 5 Stars

Glow opens with the single "Place Your Hands, one of Reef's most memorable songs. As "I Would Have Left You" starts, you can recognise the demanding verses follows by a straight guitar beat that you will want to know how to play. Next is "Summer's In Bloom", with a great starting beat and strong chorus to go with the mighty verses. "Lately Stomping" has the tropical kind of feeling to it to match it's sugary rush, at only 2:44 you might think this would sound cheap,it may not be long but it holds up with a chorus that uses Gary Stringer's voice in a unique way. The next single from Glow is "Consideration", a slow but clever song using soft drums combined with strong vocals that continues until the end where it shows its strong point. The slow drone of the band singing "It's gonna be alright" is a memorable tune that Reef fans cannot forget. The pace picks up with the constant riffs of "Don't You Like It?". The verses go well with the guitar. The fast chorus go perfectly with the drums and guitar constantly to keep the song strong. The next single is "Come Back Brighter" starts with what you might think is the chorus but instead is a short verse that works well with the deep guitar and bleeping noises that continue throughout the song. "Higher Vibration" lives up to its name with a ground braeking beat that will defintely vibrate the floor higher than any other song with its constant stop and start habit. The powerful chorus will leave other bands in the dust, crying for mercy. "I'm Not Scared" opens with a simple drum loop which is closely followed by Gary's voice. The chorus is long and perfect for the rest of the beat that follows, "I'm Not Scared" is a song that you can't skip, it is so catchy that you will constantly sing it. It is given an echo effect in the chorus which gives it a boost to go along with the crowd of people that can be heard later on in the song singing the chorus which gives it a brilliant mood for the album. "Robot Riff" hence it's name, is a long 7:12 track full of faint lyrics and robotic bleeps and other noises. The lyrics do well to match the robotic sounds. The last single from the album is "Yer Old". The fast drums and various guitar beats match the vocals excellently to give it the angry feeling. A fast paced and demanding song gives "Yer Old" to be a classic. The closing track "Lullaby" infact as the name suggests, a soft slow beat with catchy drums to keep you interested.
Glow is a definate hit with 12 brilliant, high quality tracks and various catchy beats to keep you listening. I would suggest this to Reef fans. Rock lovers can't go wrong with this.
