The reviews are in:
"The cover of the The Empty Mirror's debut, Overwhelm, says it all. This is no pleasure cruise but neither is it a journey made without care. Grant Valdes clings to each song like a post-apocalyptic life preserver in a world that's taken more than a turn for the worst.
The opening track alone, "Zeppelins in the Fiery Sky," takes several rock opera evolutions. Tackling ballads, heavy rock riffs and everything between, these guys could be compared to Mars Volta -- minus the unbearable shrillness and the type of virtuosity that makes meistros incapable of separating the gold from the garbage. Cheers to The Empty Mirror for a more level-headed look at chaos." -MINI LIFE
"I broke down in tears the first time I heard it" -A fan
"I tried to listen to your record while I was tripping on mushrooms, but there were so many crescendos, narratives and things going on that... I had to turn it off." -Anonymous friend
"There's been so much good music associated with this campaign." -Ron Paul, 2/11/08, presumably referring to the copy of Overwhelm that he actually owns.
"Why the delay? So you can maximize your profits? Are you going to release it on special edition Blu-Ray disc with a holographic cover? Who do you think you are? Oingo Boingo? Empty Mirror...pssht....more like empty wallets...." -Simone Kern
There is a great drummer wandering the Northeast... His name is Pascuatch. It's awesome to hear Justin Banging the shit out of those drums again. Good tunes guys. PEACE

The Empty Mirror, We would love to see you guys at our show with Scorpiknox at The Bit Saloon in Ballard on Saturday. It'll at least be the best rock show in Ballard that night...I think.
