A Solid, Modern Effort
I really liked it. I "discovered" 7M3 with their mid-nineties offering "American Standard". I have bought a few of their other albums since then, but didn't really "get into them". Dislocation changed that. From the very first listen, I knew this was gonna be a disc that would see some significant playing time in my cd player and in my car.

I have to admit, I mostly like straight-forward Rock. And that's what you get. It has a slightly modern feel to it. I don't know why it's not getting any air-play along with other modern rock bands such as Nickleback, Staind, Theory of a Deadman, etc.


4 1/2, better than what some reviewers are saying
I can't believe that some people don't like this album. . it's just so, good!

I agree with the one reviewer that is wondering how 7M3 can't get radio play. Without You Feels would make an amazing single, and would definitely bring them up to "2-Hit Wonder" status, because it's an absolutely fantastic song. That being said, so are Settle Up, Dislocation, Bark No Bite, Oceans of Envy, Made to Be Broken, and basically the rest of the album.

It's a completely different sound than anything else they've done, and I think they took a turn for the better. I loved American Standard and Economy of Sound (Rock Crown and Orange Ave. were very good too, but not in comparison), but this CD is just incredible.

Do yourselves a favor, give these guys a chance.


Life Since American Standard, A Fabulous Journey


This review is really directed towards those who may have missed 7M3's last few albums. I wasn't going to write this review until I needed to replace my copy that got jacked out of my car and I read the last two reviews here.

Seven Mary Three surely saw the height of their fame with their debut album-American Standard, at least in terms of radio play. For true fans of this band, or just good music, that CD was only a beginning. American Standard was a solid disc, quality songs surrounding a few true standout singles that everyone knows. Since then the band has created truely complete, incredible albums.

7M3's music life since American Standard has been a fabulous journey with Dis/Location as a wonderful destination. This album is prime example of what amazing music can be produced when a band is brave enough to evolve past the commericalization and pressure that major record labels put on musicians.

If you're someone who wants highlight songs, just look at the track listing.


What the #@$%!!!
I'll stick with their first three releases other than that this bands had it! Goodbye!. This band has took a turn for the worst.


step backward
After two great offerings, this CD is made up of a bunch of sound-alike songs that blend together into one long roaring sludge. I think the band took a big step backward with this CD. Not a single song stands out here. Newcomers would be better off going with "Orange Ave. " or "Economy of Sound" instead.
