Arco Iris

I really like this album! I didn't think I would. I listened to the first three songs and was ready to write the album off as typical pop. I was actually reading through the other iTunes reviews, laughing at the transparent effort of the band's friends and families to tout Skybox's versatility, when suddenly "Superflued to My Spaceship" started and I was suddenly hooked by its quirkiness and friendliness. And then the style changes started coming: from the early Elephant 6'ishness of "Various Kitchen Utensils" to space-rocky Radioheadedness of "Gravity Can't Keep Us Down (Unless We're On Earth)" to the funk of "Werewolf," I was surprised and delighted all the while. And finally all the comparisons to others fall away: on final listen, Skybox emerges with a thread of personality all its own. This is an album I'll be listening to on repeat for a while.

If you like something new, odd, or just plain "different", Arco Iris is for you. Very outgoing and something like punk, but more of an underground pop style. If i were u i'd buy it!

I just saw Skybox live, I will say it was one of the best shows ive been to, even lacking theyre bassist, he was out for the night. definately worth buying the cd, Skybox's sound transfers really well to cd. if you like the Spinto Band youll love this.

This is a wonderfully different album I highly recomend it if you like something with a new sound.

SkyBox has become one of my favorite bands ever. They are like nothing else that's out there. Great first CD!! I LOVE IT :D i cant wait for more

Their album is truly amazing. very original. I had the opportunity to see them live...AMAZING! If you can, go to one of their shows.

This band is splendiforous...

i was lucky enough to see Skybox at a concert before i purchased their cd, and i have to tell you - these guys definitely have their own sound. its so different from ANYTHING you can find these days, but its not too eccentric or weird. its a nice mix of funkiness, alternative, power pop, and sometimes with a twist of an unclassifiable mixture of rockabilly and surf. there's almost some narrative in their songs, which makes them even more interesting. Arco Isis covers a huge variety of styles that will appeal to many. i'm so sure that these guys are going to be the next big thing, and there is no way you can't get this cd.

i love skybox. they are sooo good. such a great album. BUY IT.

A really great indie pursuaded album though it may even be eligable under the description of alternative or even pop. Very catchy and upbeat. If you like The Format or The Hush Sound I think you'll really enjoy this album. Definatly worth buying at least 2 or 3 of their songs
