This is THE best albumn I have heard lately. These guys are great. If you like hardcore, metal, or even emo, BUY IT! Why aren't people buying this CD more? I am bummed because it will be a long time before they play a show anywhere near Reno.

While this CD only has 6 songs on it, it's worth any amount of money. If I could give it 100 stars I would. This absolutely blew me away. There are so many different elements in here I can't even begin to explain how amazing it all sounds. Most of the time, two screaming lead male vocalists would be considered a bit much (except for the guys from Haste), but it works perfectly in Codeseven. "Lights" has to be one of the ballsiest songs on the face of the planet, while the very next track, "How Many Miles to Babylon", switches from an emo-esque intro to more of their trademark screams, and even throws in a little bit of Sonic Youth during a break in the song. "Steady State" is also another incredibly forceful number, and "It Could Happen" has some great back and forth vocals in it. "Sod Within the Hill" has one of the greatest guitar openers and doesn't quit, while the very last track, "Leaches of Karma", is simply a masterpiece. There is no end to how wonderful and amazing this little CD truly is. I don't understand how anyone who likes well-put-together hardcore could not have this CD. If you're a fan of the Deftones, Glassjaw, old Cave-In and Haste, then not having this CD is a serious offense. I can't wait for their new stuff to come out so they can finally tour way up north here--even though they recently let go of one of their singers, which is definitely going to make a huge difference on the next CD. Either way, this CD is one that absolutely, positively CANNOT BE MISSED, whoever you are. I've been listening to it at least once a day for the past six months or so. GO OUT AND GET IT NOW!!!

This is the best album of the year.The arrangments are so complex yet Codeseven manages to keep everything flowing so smoothly.Off time changes and dischordant guitar lines just boggle my mind.I would recommend this record for fans of A Perfect Circle , Deftones, Cave In or Refused. Although these guys have there own disticnt sound ,thats a good place to start.Don't let this record slip by ,go and get it today.

Buy this album if you want your face blown off. You won't be disappointed. Thats all Im going to say.

This CD is a great example of heavy hardcore with a softer edge - but not too soft. This band is a few years old, but many bands these days are trying to combine the screaming and singing thing with a rather unpleasant result. These guys music is pretty melodic despite its heaviness and the addition of aesthetically pleasing melodic singing to key parts really makes this a great album. This is the only album by Codeseven that sounds like this - nowadays they play really wimpy pop/rock music, but back in the day they rocked out hard.

I am really suprised that more people haven't heard of codeseven. They are coming to B'ham soon and I can't wait to see them! I've spoken to Dave the lead singer a few times and I really think that these guys need more air time! Crank it up! If you like hardcore (and especially if you're a girl), you'll like this band! They're all HOT!

YOUR NOT MISSING ANYTHING ITS ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE AND DONE BETTER, PROBABLY WHAT DEFTONES OR VOD SOUNDED LIKE WHEN THEY FIRST STARTED THEIR RESPECTIVE BANDS, JUST NOT GOOD you have been warned!
