CD Reviews

Fixx aging right along with us!!
Back to the '80's | Northern VA | 12/18/2004

"I have been a die-hard Fixx fan for many years; listening to Reach the Beach album brings back memories of entering college in '82. This album is a solid entry for the band. Yes, I know it lacks the energy and punch of their great albums like Beach and Shuttered Room, but my tastes have matured and softened over 20 years...I don't really want them to try to "swing for the fences" with more tunes like Zero and Stand or Fall. I want creative lyrics, solid bass and guitar blended with catchy synth sounds, and most of the tracks on this album deliver. The best tunes are Touch, Are you Satisfied, Want that Life. You can throw-out Hollywood ending and a couple others. But this is a solid effort and I'm glad the band is still cranking it out after all these years. After seeing them live this past summer I've really come to appreciate Cy's voice and Jamie's awesome guitar talents.

I know this albut and any future releases will never make the top 40 or even get any air play, but in our current environment of rap and other garbage music, The Fixx is REAL music to my ears! Keep it coming guys!"

"Hey Music fans!! Rejoice that the FIXX are here to stay! What a wonderful CD full of life and great tunes! From the hypnotic "touch" to the classic sounding "Roger and out", By far One of the Best new CD's of the year...and Probably ranks as one of the best Fixx CD's Ever! I recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the 80's to people looking for updated, and Fresh material...this one is worth the effort! Buy it, and Spread the good news!"

"The Fixx are still going strong over 20 years after thier debut release. While this will certainly not bring them back to the popularity they once enjoyed it certainly should but the industry being what it is today it doesn't really stand a chance because it is well-crafted, meaningful music. Let me run down the cuts for you:1. Touch- touches of funk pepper a pop love song. Grabs you right away.2. You Don't Have To Prove Yourself- Think "One Thing..." but mellower and more melodic. The best song on the c.d.3. Are You Satisified?- A Bit plodding and too long. Still a decent song.4. Want That Life- Excellent title track, very hummable.5. We Don't Own The World- 2nd best song. Touches of World Music. If you like XTC's "Were All Light" you will love song.6. No Hollywood Ending- Mellowist song of the bunch. Somewhat dark and brooding underneath the surface. A little too long7. Staright Round the Bend- Good song, sounds a little familar but cannot put my finger on it.8. Roger and Out- Think "Make No Plans" but a bit mellower9. Taking the Long Way Home- Hmmm, sounds a lot like "Precious Stone". Still a good cut.10. Way to end it. Sounds like nothing the Fixx have ever done before. Gerry Rafferty style saxes brings it home.All in all some songs venture into familar territory but the Fixx remain vital and creative and Cy's voice has never sounded better and he puts his usual heartfelt emotion into each song. Not bad for a band that has been around 20 years."
