Though Skypark releases its albums through Word and pens the occasional lyric making a specific reference to Christianity, initial exposure to its second album could cause the listener to recall the summer of 1966, when John Lennon stirred up a fuss by commenting that the Beatles were more popular than Christ. At least on this record, the two co-exist harmoniously. You don't have to wait until the seventh track, "The Girl in Your Picture," and its opening line, "I went on down to Penny Lane," to realize that the members of Skypark have spent a lot of time listening to the Beatles; long before that, the Fab Four's influence is all over the record, from its melodies to its ornate arrangements. True, Skypark tends to rock a little harder than its favorite band, but you're never far from a harmony line or a guitar riff that recalls the famous quartet from Liverpool. In "What God Does" and "Under Your Mercy," Skypark reveals its religious background explicitly, and the lyrics of other songs, such as the title track and the album closer "That's What You Say," support a religious interpretation, but for the most part Overbluecity is no more spiritual than your average U2 album. You might listen to the record through without thinking much about Jesus Christ, but it would be harder to avoid thinking about Paul McCartney.

The songwriting,playing, and production have improved dramatically over their major-label debut, "Am I Pretty?" The first disc was good, but didn't compare to the energy of their live performances. "overbluecity" is full of beautiful vocal harmonies and Beatle-esque guitar, creating an overall moody (but not depressing) atmosphere. Overall, I'm very impressed and looking forward to repeated playings. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:  Awesome CD!, By Zoe (California) - See all my reviews This review is from: Over Blue City (Audio CD) I was invited to hear Skypark at a private concert they held to promote their new CD. Until then, I had never heard of them. But I listened to three of their songs and purchased the CD imediately! I highly recommend this CD, and would compare it to groups like Matchbox 20 or the like. Their CD is very professional sounding, and the lyrics and tunes are excellent! I am going to purchase their other 2 CD's because I enjoyed this one so much. As a side note, they do not sound very "religious", and only 2 of their songs list God or Jesus. What a nice, refreshing sound for the new milennium. Buy it now! ...

I was amazed by their performance. Later on I got a new french teacher and I found out that he was in a band, none other than the great SKYPARK!! He's the bassist Tony Deerfield. From then on i have been listening to their music and continue to be amazed by their great new style to christian music. I especially enjoy What God Does as well as The Girl in Your Picture. I can guarantee that most people will enjoy this CD. |
