Under Museum Quality Glass

Editorial Reviews
About the Artist
Pivitplex, a four piece band from the Northwest, is beginning to make big waves with its ground breaking, but somehow familiar, brand of rock and roll. They were formed in 1999 and created a instant following from Washington to Tennessee. Their success took them to Europe as they headlined the In:fusion Festival in County Meath, Ireland. They released their debut album, on Sonicfish Records, in July 2001. It was produced by renowned producer Ken Mary, the ex-drummer for Alice Cooper and House of Lords, who helped the band refine their sound and create an unbelievable album titled, "Under Museum Quality Glass". The future is looking bright for these rockers, so now's the time to catch a rising star.

Album Description
"Under Museum Quality Glass", the debut album from modern rock act Pivitplex, is an amazing collection of ten thought provoking and melodic tracks. Produced by renowned producer Ken Mary (Alice Cooper, Megadeth), each song different from the last, there is everything on this album, from guitar driven anthems to "Pink Floydy" ballads. This record is like nothing you've ever heard and there is not a weak track to be found. "Under Musuem Quality Glass", with its roll down your window and rock sound, will be having your friends asking who is that and how do I get it.

awesome.......2006-11-03

i went to thier concert november 1st and heard some of the songs that will be on the next cd that will be out in about two weeks. we bought the cd. it is highly recomended

Great Sound!.......2006-02-19

This cd is a refreshing change from all of the "clone" acts currently hitting the Christian airwaves. Their sound is familiar and reminds me a little of Tom Petty and The Heartbreaker's earlier stuff or maybe The Outfield. Some folks won't like it cause it's not "hard enough" or has an "older rock" feel to it. A band's style has nothing to do with talent or creative song writing. Tired of the same old sounding stuff? Grab this cd for some simple "feel good" rock. I'm looking forward to their next one!

This is a REALLY good good cd. i like it very much, if that makes me sick in the head (as has been suggested earlier) I'll gladly enter the loonie bin, if only i can bring this with me... and ok......maybe the whole relient k collection..... but really!!! this is Great!!!

It's great! Also, to the "Yo" review..........2005-02-17

To the reviewer titled "yo", why did you say in BOLD PRINT don't buy this album and then tell us it's good and you recommend it? John Kerry has less flip-flop than you.

Anyway. This is good solid rock music the way rock used to be 10 years ago. "You Know" is a good single and the other tracks are great. I hope their next album is this good.

Should be under much thicker glass.......2004-07-08

Come on now...what's up with this anyway? Terrible. Let's kick off this vomitaceous cd with the singer: he's an okay singer, but what bothers me most about him is that he starts singing "yeah"...and he totally overkills how many times you should be saying "yeah", which is more annoying than anything. Next, the sound: almost every single song on this cd sounds exactly the same! It has one good one "you know", but who wants to buy a cd for one good song out of 11? You'll get tired of it quickly anyway. Someone on a review said that this was hard rock!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA...somebody doesn't know their genres...this is about as light as rock gets. Also, their lyrics: their name is pivitplex, but the lyrics are one of the many things that PIVIT downward in this cd. They don't make sense at all, and it's hard to get anything as far as a message or anything at all. LYRICS ARE TERRIBLE...anybody that says they're good obviously has either brain damage or hasn't heard REAL GOOD lyrics before. REMEMBER people: just because this is a bad review doesn't make it untrue. DON'T BUY IT---you'll regret it.

A Good Debut.......2004-05-12

With so many new artists vying for a place in the Christian industry it is becoming increasingly difficult for new acts to set themselves apart from the crowd. When every week seems to deliver at least one or two new rocks bands it is refreshing to find one that features a truly unique sound. Adding 60's and 70's sensibilities to a modern rock sound Pivitplex manages to offer something original to the genre with their debut album Under Museum Quality Glass (I'd like to give kudos to the band for the great title for the album).

Pivitplex plays upbeat, melodic, guitar-driven rock and roll mixing things up with some electronic sounds and slightly distorted guitar. Lead singer and songwriter Scott Brownson works in a lot of masterful harmonies and focuses lyrically on the joys and pain of life but always with a view to the hope of eternity.

The album starts strong, kicking off with three solid rock songs. "Some Will Fall" shows off all of the band's best features, showcasing harmonies, guitar and some funky electronics. "Grounded" is a song played over a great background track that finds Brownson anticipating heaven. I couldn't help but think of the band Zilch on this one. Following "Grounded" is "You Know," easily the strongest title on the album and one that has already had success on the charts.

It seems tradition calls for a ballad as the fourth track and Pivitplex offers a great one in "Cash It In," a rock ballad about losing a friend - saying goodbye and then dealing with the pain of separation.

At this point the songs begin to blur together a bit. There aren't any bad songs, but the Pivitplex sound which had felt so original begins to feel a bit used. Still, there are a couple of other standout titles. "Feeling Fear" is a slow ballad that speaks of the fear we feel as we try to hide from God and ultimately the importance of learning to rest in His love. "Clarity," which may have the tightest harmonies of any song on the album, is a rocker that leads nicely into the closing song "Lullaby," a bedtime prayer. Though a bit corny, it is a stirring song with a beautiful and original chorus.

Pivitplex has a sound that is all their own and one that should appeal to fans of downhere, Dakona and bands of that nature. Though I truly like it, I found myself wondering if they would be able to sustain the sound through several more albums without becoming tiring and repetitive. Even on this album the sound started to get old and I wish they could have carried the momentum through the middle tracks. Despite that small hang-up, I enjoyed Under Museum Quality Glass and hope there is a bright future ahead for this band. I will be eagerly anticipating their sophomore release.

Amazing Music with a Message.......2003-09-01

I really enjoy this album. It is always great to find new Christian music that I enjoy, and this album is definitely now in my top ten! It's fabulous! I really appreciate that the band had a couple full length songs on their website as well, I was able to judge whether or not I wanted to buy the album right there. A friend from California passed the info about this band on to me and I will definitely be passing it on to my other friends.

Diamon in the Rough.......2003-04-08

You will be hearing big things from this band soon. This album has some of the best unique Rock and Roll in a flooded market. This album is one of my faveorites and I never get tired of it.
It is packed full of great songs. I would even go far as to say it has as many as 5 number 1 hits on it.
I give this CD a 11 out of 10

THIS IS THE BEST CD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-02-02

This is the best CD I have ever bought! Every song is great! Especially the songs "You Know", "Grounded", "Clarity" and "Some Will Fall". This CD is great to listen to, whether in the car, at home, etc... If you like, or don't like, Christian rock, you will enjoy this CD! A "must-have" for every CD collection! I'd probably give it more than 5 stars, but the ratings on here only go up to 5 stars! Go buy this CD...you won't regret it! =o)
