"Having followed the band from their traditional days as Clan Na Gael, almost 10 years ago, I have watched this band sadly as they sell out and go mainstream. Their old albums, Rain and Thunder, Old Ground, and Big Dog, are such superior albums to the [junk] they spin out now. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with any of their new stuff unless they bring back Neil and Nick!"
Not the best but you can't go wrong with any 7N

"The self titled album is definitely not the best of seven nations albums. I own every last one of them and the album i listen to the least is this one because it's not really a good representation of the band. It's somewhat contrived and it tries to be sort of a greatest hits for new listeners. my recommendation would be to purchase every other 7N album you can find and then make a judgement. The close mindedness of some people over the change in the band's sound is upsetting. While they are undoubtedly not as folky or traditional as they once were, their sound has matured and continues to become better and better. What should be focused on instead is the spirit and energy behind the band. Seven nations is a band that anyone who knows anything about celtic music should include in their library. you won't go wrong."
7N Rocks

"I first saw these guys in a tiny Irish pub in St.Pete, Florida. I've been listening to them ever since. This album has a few remakes of earlier songs, made even better by the encorporation of the fiddle. Even if you don't favor bagpipes, this Celtic rock definately grows on you."
