It seems this band could be compared to a lot of bands in the melodic pop rock genre in almost every way, but that would be doing the basics of this band an injustice. They have a heart for this country; dedicating this album to the "lives touched by the recent tragedies plaguing our nation's schools." It seems the lyrics, throughout this CD, mirror the sentiment of a nation crying out for God. "Mama sits at her bedside with watery eyes, her son ain't been home in a week, she tries to tell herself that everything's alright but I can see the pain in mama's eyes, mama grabs her Bible and she reads another verse and prays to God her boy will be home soon." While listening to this album, their faith in God was very clear. "I was blind but now I see the light the life I lived, oh Lord I know it wasn't right I feel my heart slowly pumpin' up again and I'm a miracle." The titles on this project are simple and to the point; Jada, Miracle, Matthew 25, Thank You, Mama Won't Give Up, Bow Down, My Best Friend, Blind Man, What I Need, I want to Believe, and I Believe. Musically, this band is good. They pay attention to their sound. They are together and melodic. They are a bit mellow, but this should not hinder your interest in Seventh Day Slumber. The album's recording is just a bit shallow sounding, but easily over-looked once you get into the lyrics. I can not stress enough what an emotional trip these 4 guys put me through with their simple words and I am sure they will do the same to you. Enjoy! "Well, I know these times are changing and it's hard to tell the good from the bad, but just keep your eyes on Jesus and the mess will all just fade to black."
