5 out of 5 stars I love these guys.......2005-06-19

This band started out like all other good bands, as a group of locals that loved music. They all went to college together and wrote and played in the off time, played local venues on the weekends, and we all loved them. I was suprised to see other reviews from all around the country on amazon, and figured I'd leave my peice here as well. I thought they had broken up, but apperantly they have just moved to the minnisoda area and i hope to have the chance to see them again in person. as every one else said, these guys are very talented and I would Love to see them make it big. good luck RVM, Iowa misses you.

5 out of 5 stars A "must-own" Diamond in the Rough.......2004-10-30

Rearview Mirror is a blender mix of rock influences, a versatile prism of modern rock that reflects a wide range of styles.

Ptacek as a vocalist is amazing--the most talented relative unknown in the rock world. He brings great range, and a penchant for expression; anger, pain, sadness, lonliness and desperation come out in full force with lyrics like

"I'll watch you hang from the rafters /I'll watch you from beneath /'Cause today the world means nothing /Just hang and try not to think / Do you feel the blood and sweat pouring down / over your face now?" from "Dead Air" and

"...my fingertips / they bleed across the line / of these city walls cause all these lights look / like eyes to me / they're staring in / my filthy window is found to be / my only light / as this candle burns /... [this] is not the life / for which I asked / ....so vulnerable to all the pain / ...please take your shots / while I'm down here." from "City Walls"

"City Walls" is one of my top ten modern rock ballads, somewhere amongst "Bleed" by Cold and "Darkness" by Disturbed. "In the Beginning" is the token commercialized release, although even that is quite good. "All Lights Off" is hard to describe: uptempo yet insightful, introspective yet expressive, angry yet accepting. Hard-driving lead guitar riffs and a subtle bassline complement the crooning, sometimes soulful but always edgy vocals.

All Lights Off is the best CD that you've never heard of. A truly unique creative production, it breaks the mold of whining, cliched modern rock lyrics and riffs with something distinctly personal. Sure, it has its downfalls ("Guilty" is just terrible, and "Animal" is forced), but this CD will make it's way into most modern rock fans' stash of personal favorites.

5 out of 5 stars Pretty good CD.......2004-02-15

I've been fortunate enough to have known about this band for time since I lived about fifteen minutes outside of Cresco while I was in High School. This album is really good, and I think everyone should give it a listen. But since this album's release, the band has gone through some tough times. I don't know exactly what happened, but somehow the band lost their record deal and drummer T.J. Krammer was either let go/fired or quit because of creative differences. At any rate, they have a new CD out that's pretty good, but it's a hard find since the band doesn't have the record deal anymore. If you are looking to buy, "All Lights Off" go ahead and do it. You won't regret it. However, consider buying their new self-titled album too. You can't get it here, but visit www.rvmonline.com and there will be a link to buy the record. It's different, but still really good. If you really like the band, they also have an older small time release entitled "Blown Out." I don't believe it's for sale anymore, but there's a site where you can download it for free. Just go to the forum on the official site and you'll find the link to Rearview Mirror source. Anyway, spread the word. This band is great, and they need your support.
