Ah, a christian group that isn't afraid to put Christ into the lyrics. Like SDS's previous album, "Picking up the Pieces", you get hints of things gone wrong, and how Jesus helped them through their troubles.

The track "I Believe" was a rework of a song from the 25th Chapter album. When taken together, they're very effective. Lyrics that were once "I want to believe in something", have become "I Believe in Jesus" There's a very powerful message there, once all the lyrics start to register. It's really too bad that the original song wasn't snuck on this cd too.

Musically, these guys remind me of slightly softer version of Kutless. A few songs were a little slow for my tastes, but that might be because I've been listening to too much 80/90s metal lately.

The "enhanced" portion of this cd is a weblink to the BEC homepage. That's it. Nothing special there.

I recently saw Seventh Day Slumber at a Skillet concert in Knoxville, TN. I bought there CD when I was there and I thought they were great at the show and very hard rock and sounded like 12 Stones or Demon Hunter but when I bought there CD I found the studio found them more sounding like Kutless or Everyday Sunday. That isn't at all a bad thing just not what I expected. After I got over that I found it to be a very good album the only thing I thought it was missing was that one great song that makes the CD complete. Its a bunch of average to good songs but its missing that one really good song that completes the package on a good album. It sounds to me like a collection of B-Sides. Still very good and I would recommed it to any Christian Rock fan who likes music in the middle between say Kutless and Skillet there right in the middle.

If you like any of their previous cds, you will really enjoy this one. There is not one bad song on this entire disc. The production on this album puts the sound far above their previous releases. The songs range from soft rock to heavy. So, no matter what you like, you will definitley find something you like on this disc.
