Legend Seven, in their latest offering, Blind Faith, gives Christian rock fans another "must have" album. Still a relatively unknown band, Legend Seven is definitely one of the best.

Their musical style is best described as "good rock-n-roll." Their harder songs sound like the new Bad Company, and their slower songs sound like Richard Marx. Their music is nearly flawless. While listening to Blind Faith, I was impressed with their strong vocals and excellent guitar playing. The bass lines and drum work are solid and consistent as well. If you like White Heart, DeGarmo & Key, or Petra, it would probably be worthwhile to give this album a listen.

The message presented in Blind Faith is fresh and relevant, while not being too deep for younger listeners. Each song presents a different topic, while maintaining a solid Christian base throughout the entire album. I was especially impressed by the lyrics in the three slower songs, "The Calm," "Call On Me," and "First Love." I also liked "Shoot Straight Johnny," a "southern rock" style song about a guy who becomes a Christian. Because of its high musical quality, Blind Faith will appeal to Christians and non-Christians alike. The tight, professional production by Bubba Smith helps this album stand out as one of the best of Word's offerings this year.

I would highly recommend this album. Blind Faith clearly shows that Legend Seven is a great band whose time has come.
