From the start Oklahoma-based indie/rock/screamo band Subseven shout potential talent, versatility and professionalism. This is their first full length album and would attract a wide listenership with a more worshipful input from "Breathe" and from the heavier end of the spectrum such as "Game Of Love". There are welcome variations in each track and each has something different to offer. The vocals range from more relaxed rock ("Breathe") to screamo particularly seen in "Up To You" and this is carried throughout the album well. The introductions are perhaps one of the first striking features on this album and each is well organised and excitable. There are memorable riffs without being repetitive while each member is given the chance to display individual skills. It's hard to choose favourites on this album but I'd recommend "Breathe" for a more relaxed track, "Game Of Love" for the heavier, "Free To Conquer" and "Dirt Roads" for the rousing introductions and versatility.
