Better than horrific....
is better than horrific, but less than bad, if you catch my drift. Orange Ave. :) This album is an awkward, dis-jointed record from beginning to end. From what was written about the album by Jason Ross, there was a lot of turmoil in the band during the recording, and as a result, they put out a pretty bad stinker. With that said, I gave it 2 stars because there are actually a few good songs, "Hang On" is my favorite song on the CD. "Flagship Eleanor" is also good, and "Peel" is a very good song. I wasn't big on the first and only release "Over Your Shoulder", and never will be. All in all, I'd give it 2. 5 stars out of 5, but certainly not 3, so I'll stick with 2.


Very Pleased!!
This album is just what I expected and hoped it would be. . another smash hit. .


no better than this
Period. This is the best CD the band has done so far (2005).


Florida Band Keeps Growing
" Jason Ross's vocals are more restrained in this record than the hit album "American Standard" and guitarist Jason Pollock proves he can lay down some real lead work on his final record with the band. After dropping anything that resembles Pearl Jam on their sophomore effort "Rock Crown" Seven Mary Three cranks up the tempo and distortion a bit on "Orange Ave.

"Orange Ave. " features the best three-song stretch of any 7M3 record to this point. "Over Your Shoulder" is the best song Ross and company have written, "Chasing You" is a solid mid-tempo track, and "Each Little Mystery" is a unique radio-ready ballad that unfortunately never caught on. Ross's voice is outstanding on the slow paced "Southwestern State" and Ross and Pollack show how far they have come as guitar players and musicians on "Joliet". "Flagship Eleanor" is also and overlooked gem.

You're never going to hear "American Standard" from 7M3 again and that's a good thing because they are so much better than that.


7 Mary 3 Orange Ave.
If you are into this kind of music, get it. This is a great album. This is a great band really, not sold out to the world. They stay true to music. They have their own sound and if they keep it they could be huge.
