Dylan Rice is a genius. A GENIUS. I think I spelled that right. Anyway. his music is unexplainable for me,I don't think there's a word in the dictionary to describe it just yet. But it's so good, so thoughtful and thought-provoking(??). And I mean, yes, his Lyrics are fantastic, but his voice is.......so crazy, man. It's like he makes you sorta feel every word. I bet you the guy could sing a song with no lyrics and you'd still get what the song was about. This is odd sounding, but he is a beautiful performer all 'round. I was extremely overwhelmed with how great this album was. "Truer Days" "Intangible" "One Pure Thing" "Wandering Eyes" (all time favorite). Especially,"Lucky to Need You" I felt that!! But, truly, EVERY track on this album is absolutely FANTASTIC. This is my second time buying it because I scratched the hey out the other copy. I wore that thing OUT!!!! Dylan, You R-O-C-K ROCK!!! Keep it up. you da bomb, man!!

My best friend Marc, knowing what type of music I like - suggested I listen to this guy last summer at Chicago's largest street fest Market Days. I only got a chance to hear a few songs, but after getting a chance to talk to him, I went home and ordered it off of Amazon. It has remained in my CD rotation ever since. I will always support this genre, as it has more heart and soul than most pop singer out there. His voice reminds me of many, but is unique enough to be on its own. His tunes are highly radio friendly like Someday Heartbreak, The Lie, March of the Misunderstood and Truer Days, but will we ever hear the day (besides WXRT)? I hope so, but until then, I will continue to listen to Wandering Eyes and see him when performers around Chicago.

Dylan Rice is a really good performer out of Chicago with a great voice and an uncanny instinct for writing memorable tunes. He covers a lot of ground on his debut, with rich melodies woven into an altrock and pop structure, tinged with melancholy and bittersweet recollections of relationships and life.
My favorite songs on this disc are "Distant Planet" (shades of Bowie locked away in there), "March of the Misunderstood", and "One Pure Thing" -- all of which could be solid singles if people programming radio had a clue.
If you like Emily Strand (whom I consider to be the female Dylan Rice), Aimee Mann, and Chris Isaak, you ought to like Dylan Rice.

Dylan Rice is a guy you've never heard of. He's not the flavor-of-the-month on your pop radio station, his video isn't topping at number one on TRL, and he has no major record label pushing him into your ears. But what he does have is something very few of today's chartmakers actually possess - raw talent and a ballsy voice that will stop you dead in your tracks!
I read a short review of Dylan's debut, WANDERING EYES in a gay magazine a few months back. That's right, he prefers the guys. But while some of his songs definitely play to a gay sensibility, the themes he's singing about are essentially universal: soured relationships, childhood disappointments, true friendships, and the longing for a real loving connection in a detached world. Things everyone can relate to. His twelve handpenned songs are a tapestry of emotions with a copious amount of catchy hooks and choruses that'll have you singing along - but the most engaging thing about WANDERING EYES is Dylan's deep, magnetic voice. Ahhh, that voice! He's the real deal, powerfully packing every tune with feeling - whether he's being tough and no-nonsense on JUST LIKE YOU and DRAMA QUEEN, absolutely heartbreaking on I DO & I DON'T and LUCKY TO NEED YOU, mustering hope on ONE PURE THING, or oozing sex on TRUER DAYS - he'll catch you and keep you with every track. His voice could almost be a religion, it's that remarkable! Top the whole package off with his handsome looks and you've got the makings of an underground idol ready to follow in the footsteps of Duncan Sheik and Howie Day.
(As a sidenote, even my indie record stores hadn't heard of this guy - after searching for a couple of months I finally picked up my copy through Amazon. So don't miss out! And Dylan, if you're reading this, I want to marry you.)

A complete album: energizng, far-from-your-standard rock chords, with lyrics that express something different every time you hear them. For me, the highlight of the album is Rice's outstanding & cunning voice: with a strength and range that is comparable to George Michael or Bono, it has a sexiness that is nothing less than unique. 'Wandering Eyes' is an album that will wake you up from the stale state of independent rock music and will leave you wanting more.
