Sevenout - "Feast of Eden" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Sevenout - Feast of Eden
	Location	Detroit
	Initial Impression	Mystery: for some reason I feel like I've reviewed this band's material before, though not for this Website...
Notable Lyric	"In the dark you cannot hide/From all the feelings you have deep down inside/It's up to fate it's plain to see/How a moment can be an eternity."
Factoid	The four-piece - which formed in 1998 - released their debut full-length in 2002, entitled Back from Reality
Serve With	Good friends, pack of cigs, couple of Buds.
Comments	Sevenout play alt-rock/pop that lacks bite and an edge. Though there are some "tougher" songs like "Back on You" and "Daydream", they're still pretty tame. Overall, the feel of the record is rather mellow, but there are some upbeat tunes like the Gin Blossoms-esque opener "Round" and "Forever", while slower more heartfelt offerings come in the form of "Bobbie Jo" and the finale, the bittersweet ballad "Away from You". "Got to" sounds oddly familiar and is one of the standouts on the album, as it's a bit slower, but powerful in an emotional sense and highlights singer/guitarist Shane McGregor's gritty vocals. Not a bad release by any means and fans of mellow rock will most likely dig Sevenout, but quite frankly, it's been done before and they don't really bring anything new to the genre.
