"There is just so much going on, from a death-dealing speed metal riff here to a pompously overblown melody there, from solos that would sear a steak quicker than a Texan barbecue to beautifully constructed

"Black 7 features the most graceful interchanges between leading instruments ... lures people into the symphony with the somber violin, quickly turning into a sorrowful acoustic guitar which is then beautifully overtaken by a soulful electric guitar." - mxdwn.com
