Same exact Band as Legend, They just added a 7 for whatever reason. very solid rock album, but I especially love the love songs to Jesus. those songs just get you right here( pointing to my heart)Or Maybe The Reason .they added seven because of so many other bands using Legend out there. Some great straight ahead rock that represents the era. This album rocks! Legend Seven uses heart-gripping words and bangin' music to describe their faith and experiences. If you love Hard Core Rock and sincere lyrics this cd is especially for you. Blind faith is a jazzy-rock combination that boasts of having confidence where you don't have to see what you're looking for to believe it's there. This song is pretty wild combining swing-like jazz and loud rock to make music where straight up rockers, punkers, and jazz/r&b fans can get out of their seats and bust a move for their faith. "Shoot Straight Johnny" is the story about a bad boy who once was wanted, has been converted, and mysteriously changed. It's a loud, wild song encouraging the guy to keep up the faith. Saddle up, put on yer cowboy hat and git ready to ride... "Be Still" and "First Love "are the most beautiful songs on this cd. "Be still" is a reminder that God will speak and He will always be there for you no matter what happens. This song has awesome lyrics (it's kind of like those ZoeGirl and OOE songs that have mountains falling, and stars colliding, it's pretty intense). "First Love" moved me to tears. It's so sweet. Deep, penetrating words and the singer's powerful voice describe how God tenderly touches the human heart and how faithful He is. The music is equally touching: the piano brings in a mix of class and raw emotion. After getting used to the crazy rock by tuning into the cool lyrics, I enjoyed this album very much. Don't miss out on this great opportunity to hear some geniune oldschool christian rock.American rockers Legend Seven can hardly be accused of breaking new ground - if Bon Jovi were to become Christians they would probably sound something like this - but what they do, they do well. 'Blind Faith', their second album, is catchy, competent, slick and sound like it was recorded in a studio with a New Jersey postcode. The Van Halen-esque opening of "Refuge", "Call On Me"'s plaintive cello solo and some powerful horn charts on the title track rescue 'Blind Faith' from being just another bland, mid-Atlantic, White Heart rehash. I liked it, but then again I've always been a Fan for a loud guitar. Either the sleevenote compilers had their tongues firmly in their cheeks when they included the information that "Andy Denton uses Biolage hair products", or endorsement deals have scaled new heights of idiocy, even in CCM. I hope it was the former. Play it loud(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
