I honestly believe that these guys cannot make a bad cd. The production on this one is great. It is more polished than previous albums and not as raw but it has a 'freshness' to it that was very welcome to my ears.

There are some very good songs on this cd as can be expected by this band. The opening song 'Wheels' is one that you can get hooked on with the first listen. '5 Smiles Away' has a Beatles influence that works very well with the song. You also have the nice ballad 'You And I' that shows a bit more of the vocal talent of Donnie Vie. There is also a cool John Lennon cover on this cd with the song 'Jealous Guy' that fits in great for this album.

I highly recommned this album to any fan of this band or those who like Cheap Trick,The Beatles,or great music in general.

I'm a Chicago-girl who has grown up listening to Enuff Z Nuff. There has never been a band so likeable, or so unforgettable. Seven is such a warm and appealing ablum; it is, by far, EZN's best since (the unequivocal) Strength album. Although much of this album is comprised of previously unreleased material from EZN's archives, the songs show a true modern flair due to the remastering and mixing. Additionally, Donnie Vie's vocals display an exceptional solidness that previous albums were lacking; Donnie has the most unique voice in the business and he really knows how to use it. Songs like "It's No Good" and the heartbreaking "We Don't Have To Be Friends" not only have Donnie singing in a clear train of emotion, but bring out more of Chip Z Nuff's backing vocals. The effect is unforgettable. As well, songs like "So Sad To See You" and the cover of "I won't Let Yo Go" thrive on that charismatic EZN groove.

Vie and Z Nuff have been creating some of the most heartfelt and sparkling songs out there, reminding a person that rock music is more about emotion and creativity than anything else.

The songwriting genius of Chip Z'Nuff and Donnie Vie comes through with a vengence again and again on this record. From the catchy and upbeat acoustic track "It's No Good," to the powerful, guitar driven crunch of "So Sad to See You," and the emotionally drenched ballads "Downhill" and "We Don't Have to Be Friends," this record takes the listener on a musical roller coaster of melodic sensibility, summed up appropriately enough by the fun yet laid back opening track "Wheels." The album masterfully shows off the band's trademark harmonies led by Vie's rich and intense vocals. Here is a perfect example of the genuine talent that lies beneath the glam rock image that many people associate with the band who only know them from their 1989 hit "Fly High Michelle," with songs like "On My Way Back Home" and "Still Have Tonight" to prove it.

This is a great album for anyone that likes good ol upbeat rock and roll with a twist of The Beatles. Every song on here is inspiring and a standout is the remake of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy".

Ok, now I've seen a lot of complaints about this album being "too soft". Well, I own all of Enuff Z'Nuff's albums, and while this isn't one of my favorites, I actually think it might be their most accessible. This, quite simply, is a solid album all the way through. Despite a goofy intro, "Wheels" is a great mid-paced rocker as well. But there are so many great songs on this album: "Down Hill", "You and I", "On my Way Back Home", "So Sad to See You"...Even "Clown on the Town" which is a country song, is tight and tuneful. I must admit however that this album is much softer than STRENGTH or ANIMALS WITH HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, comparable to Firehouse's new album, CATAGORY 5. If you judge music based solely on how good it is, rather than how heavy, I guarentee you will like this album if you give it a chance. When I first bought this album I wasn't very impressed, but the more I've listened to it, the more it's really grown on me. I think it's a (slightly) better album than TWEAKED, and stronger overall than the self-titled album. Give it a try, it's a good album.

I enjoyed the CD alot.It sounds like the 80's band I was accustomed to hearing.

Another mature great album from Enuff Z'nuff. The first 8 tracks are all very good, with WHEELS & NEW KIND OF MOTION as standouts to me. Tracks 9-14 feel like filler, and then I WON'T LET YOU GO ends the album, leaving you wanting more. Grow up if you can't handle albums that blare screaming guitars and thundering drums throughout. Or better yet, just don't buy anymore EZN.

This side of Enuff Z'Nuff is just horrible , I don't like this album because it's way too pop and it shows no interest in me . Fans of Enuff Z'Nuff should get Enuff Z'Nuff , Strength or Paraphernalia becuase those albums are terrific !

Seven is a great album that really expanded Enuff Z'nuff musically. Coming after the dark and thunderous Tweaked the light Pop feel of Seven was a major shift for the band. Seven is a great mile stone Musically for Enuff Z'nuff. Rockers like wheels and So Sad, to the ballads It's no good and Down Hill, show why Enuff Z'nuff fans have stayed with these guys through the years.
