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.

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!

Seven Places continues to impress with the release of their second album! These guys are incredibly talented. God's anointing is on their lyrics and music. You will not be disappointed:)

Excellent Christian CD with really great lyrics... you can see that they have a relationship with the Lord Jesus!

I got this cd about 3 months ago, because I own their debut album, plus I had heard the first single "Fall In Line", from the album on Christian radio, which I loved. This album is much better than their first. Hear Us Say Jesus has alot more songs that jump out at you. I really like the songs "Watch", "We're Almost There", and "Be My Salvation". My favorite track though is "I Look Upon Your Hill", which is a song that really speaks to your heart, and you can feel the love of Jesus. A really good album. Good Christian alternative music. 4 out of 5.

Seven Places delivers far beyond expectation in their second album. Just as the title suggests, you will hear the band "Say Jesus" many times throughout the album. The lyrics are real, mature, heartfelt, and annointed. Lyricly, there is much depth amidst simplicity in this album.

The change in the line-up does great things for the sound of this album. While still sounding influenced by 'Third Eye Blind,' this album leans more toward 'Coldplay,' and 'U2.' Everything sounds a lot more complete and radio playable production-wise, while still bold and ground-breaking in creativity.

This album is an immensely rewarding and enjoyable listen the whole way through.

This is by far one of the best worship CDs and worship groups out there.
True, genuine, spirit-filled lyrics and excellent musicianship and melody writing.
All three Seven Places CDs are amazing. I listen to them at least once a day
and are ministered to more each day. Don't pass this group up. If you can,
get your hands on some Psalms Project CDs also from these guys (Seth Gilbert).

Although this band is not together anymore, this classic cd is well worth having. Great CD from cover to cover. Just buy it!

This CD and Seven Places' other two CDs are awesome. The music is very good, the band is tight and the lyrics are catchy, meaningful and doctrinally sound. Seven Places' last release, Glowing, is amazing. If you purchase any of this bands music you will not be disappointed.

This band is different from what you will hear from many Christian artists. They are not afraid to say Jesus as the title suggest, and it's a nice change. The music is clean sounding, and lifts the spirits. I really loved this CD. It's definitely worth the money.
