"Orange Sky has a sound all their own, there is nothing being played on the radio that can come close. If you are like me, over rotated songs and similarly sounding bands on the radio has gotten tired. Orange Sky has what you have been looking for, the hard and fast style of a rock band, with the subtle influence of Reggae. While not overpowering, it is noticeable, but sounds better than anything that you have ever heard. Check out the web site, [...]. My favorite tracks are as follows: Beautiful Day, Peace Train, Escape, & Alone. If the album moves you, the DVD sample will kick you in the chest. [...] Give Orange Sky a shot, you will not be disappointed."
This CD rocks!

"I have been following Orange Sky for a while now. This CD is the best they have produced thus far. The production is clean and all the instrumentation is clearly defined. Their style is similar to the british rock band now defunct,"Dub War" and gives you a nice mix of reggae and rock, quite unique. I wish them the best of luck and do look forward to better things to come."
I love it !!!!!

"WOW,
It sounds great, every track has its space they all tell a different story and it sucks you in.
The singers voice takes a little getting used to...but so does the singer from MIDNIGHT OIL, AC/DC even GUNS AND ROSES but we all found a place in our hearts for them.
I really love the new metal feel lurking in the background and OH MY GOD! the lead guitar textures are so cool, I am not one for guitar solos but they are done in good taste.
THE DRUMS are BOOMING in my headphones ITS ALL GOOD!
This CD is very good , if you like to discover new bands its a great buy........if you like MUSIC buy it......no matter what other people say, its up to you if you like it or not in the end, but if you dont like it, give it to someone who does ( the love of your life? maybe)."
The best $13.00 i have ever spent

"Like the reviewer Gidrah, I saw Orange Sky open up for Yngwie Malmsteen in Indianapolis. For a band I've never heard before, they did a great job with many catchy songs that one could get into on the first pass, and their live sound was well balanced. I was fortunate enough to pick up their album Upstairs at the concert, and it was well worth it!
Considering that they come from the island nation of Trinidad, there is a strong Caribbean accent to the singing, and a hint of reggae music thrown in, but that is about it. Past that, this album is very solid rock, with great catchy songs and wonderful solos (yes, actual guitar solos in this day and age!) It is a little difficult to compare these guys to anything else, but there are a couple of times that their rock sound reminded me of Alice In Chains. It's just good music.
Favorite songs: Escape, Beautiful Day, Dogs, Tug of War, Alive, and Falling. With about half of the album being absolutely great, and the rest of the songs also being quite good, this album earns a solid 4/5."
