4.0 out of 5 stars Beyond their years, November 16, 2004

This band seems to have a Rock and Roll presence that is beyond their years. They seem steeped in the school of power pop heavies like Big Star or Cheap Trick.

This second album sees a lineup change as well as a more mature sound. The sound is full and thick with guitar chops, rumbling drum beats and moving and passionate vocal harmonies. The sound gets under your skin. At first listen it could sound simple. Yet deeper examination reveals thick layers of sound and production.

The kids are talented. I have seen them live and they love what they do. It is evident in the energy they display. The lyrics are deep. They are not your everday Chrstian band lyrics that deal with "Sunday School" questions. They are real and believeable. And the band is relentless and fearless in their faith and offer no apologies.

It is a shame that you will never hear them on modern radio. Seven Places have talent above and beyond what you will hear. I recommend this album to not just lovers of Christ, but simply to lovers of great music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow a step up from their first album!, February 15, 2005

I enjoyed Seven Places, first album (Lonely For the Last Time) but they have taken a step up with the new release! The songs have a much more "deeper" feel to them with more layerings of guitars of all kinds as well as other instruments.

They are truly one of the most unique and talented Christian artists right now with their brand of progressive modern rock (with a pop feel to it). The lyrics have a depth to them that gets into your soul. Check out "I Look Upon Your Hill" which comes from Isaiah 53 and others for a terrific and moving ballad. They also rock quite hard on "Fall in Line", "Even When" and many others.

The thing I like about this album, though, is that they don't stick to just one formula. Several of the songs have that unique and different feel that breaks up the album (where some other modern rock albums don't). The production of Aaron Sprinkle has truly helped them. They also are without a doubt a Christian band and they make no apologies for it! I wholeheartedly recommend it!
