When it comes to modern rock music most of it sounds the same with the exception of a few bands, Seven Channels is one of those few new bands that are just incredible.

I saw them in concert when they opened for Nickelback, I think it should of been the other way around. This band so much better than Nickelback and I think it's an insult for them to share the same bill with Nickelback.

The songs on the self-titled debut release vary in tempo and are all pleasing to listen to. "Velcro Parade," "Breathe," and "Superconnected" are all great songs. This album should be in every rock fan's library. I give Seven Channels' debut album five stars.

I first heard these guys while they were performing as an opening act for Collective Soul. In person, they gave a very energetic, lively performance... very impressive... I ordered their CD the next day.

Their sound might be best described as a youthfull cross of alternative and rock, with powerful vocals and guitar... yet the music has clear, clean melodies. Very nice.

this cd is the best ever.then songs electric voices and circles rock.this is cd is a must have for the secular and christian audiences.

I first heard them play a show in Houston replacing Tantric. They had a great sound and i rushed out and bought this CD. After further research and wondering " What Happened to them" i discovered that their name has changed to The Vanished. So now you know what happened to them. :)

As I look through my CD library and uncover albums I totally forgot I owned, I occasionally come across CD's that leave me rather stumped. I'm left scratching my head wondering why I own them in the first place. What in the world could have possessed me to buy this? That question was raised when I found Pressure 4-5's album. That question was also raised when I saw Seven Channels' debut album in my pile. I looked at it and thought `this looks cheap' and then I loaded it into my computer and listened to the first track and thought `this sounds cheap' and then listened to the second track and thought `this sounds awful' and it soon became obvious that I was going to have to suffer through this in order to write a review.

The singer is obnoxious. That is the first coherent thought I have regarding this album. It's funny because another reviewer titled his review `obnoxious car singer' and when I first read that I thought `now there is someone who agrees with me' and then I realized that he didn't.

The album is just a collection of below mediocre rock tracks with no edge and no oomph. There is nothing here that is worth writing about really. Ugh, I hate that. I mean, I have nothing to say but the same `this song is bad', `this song is worse', `don't understand why people like this song' and so to save myself from becoming redundant and annoying I'm simply going to say that this album is dreadful and I'm not surprised I forgot I owned it.

I am, however, surprised that I do own it.

I buy a lot of new music these days hoping to find those standout bands, just to be dissapointed after hearing the whole cd and hearing only one or two good songs. Seven Channels is definetly an exception to the rule. If you like bands such as Default, Hoobastank, and Nickelback you should definetly buy this cd because Seven Channels completly blows them away, no joke, I'm only speaking the truth. If you buy this cd and don't like it, feel free to email me and give me a piece of your mind because I gurantee you will like it.

My girlfriend and I were listening to the Secular Alternative in Birmingham to determine what messages each songs were putting out. "Breathe" came on and we liked the music at first and the message was wonderful. Being a Christian, I really liked the fact that Seven Channels are not ashamed of their belief in God. So, we went to see them in concert the following are we were blown away. We got the free single (I listened to it about 35 times in a 2-3 day span) and I was excited about getting the album. The album was really good and I am thankful that God had me turn off my CD player in my car to hear them or I would have missed out.

This is the most awesomest CD!! I met these guys, interviewed them (well actually my 2 sisters did and I just worked the video camera), watched them perform (acoustic), and got free tickets and met them at the concert, aagin! They are the nicest and most talented group of guys I know. I love the songs Breathe, Electric Voices, and Submarine Dreams! All the tracks are a 10/10!! If you don't own this CD, I definately recommend it!!

It is a relief that this album is finally out. I've worn out my copy of their "Velcro Parade" release. The new songs on this album are extremely good, esp. 'circle', 'rooftop', & 'fluid'. I hope you buy this album and enjoy it as much as I am now. (PS...if you get a chance...see them in concert!)

After being a fan of Seven Channels for a while after buying their Velcro Parade EP, I had high hopes for this album, and for the most part I am satisfied. While this album does feature four of the five songs from their first release (velcro parade, helium, superconnected, and electric voices) they have been re-recorded and slightly altered and sound much cleaner and improved. My only qualm is that the song "Helium" is now much faster then before and seems to lose some of the power that it had before. The new songs are a welcome addition and most of them are very good additions. Besides their first single, "Breathe", "Circle" is another song that seems destined for single success, even though it sounds very similar to another southern hard rock band (3DD). Overall Seven Channels is a solid rock album for anyone looking for some more straight-up rock.
