Editorial Review:
Alpha, the latest outing from this veteran act is both good and maddening. Good because many of the riffs and the songs to which they are affixed are driven by an element of boogie--for lack of a better term--too often absent from contemporary metal. Maddening because the group often cops out and trades in original and challenging ideas for the expected mid-song freak outs that will no doubt send listeners over the brink once the band takes the stage but do little but inspire passive listening in the current setting. As good as Sevendust may be on the stage, this is the studio and they owe it to listeners to create an experience that will last them a lifetime. A few more risks and less of an allegiance to brute force may serve this band well as it does in the more subtle moments of "Deathstar" and "Driven." --Jedd Beaudoin

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Sevendust again
I absolutely LOVE this album! Great music for working out and running, that's for sure. Some people have the nerve to call this recycled rock in the vein of Nickelback- whoever puts Sevendust in the same sentence with Nickelback should get pistol whipped across the face. Yes, Sevendust toured with Creed back in the day. Yes they collaborated with Daughtry and Alter Bridge on the new album. The music on Alpha is simply awesome- I wouldn't recommend playing this for your first date or anything ... Read More
Rating:  - STOP SCREAMING IN EVERY SONG!!!
I love this band from the beginning, but you're losing me with the idiotic screaming. What's the deal? You're way too good to fall into this new metal screamfest. ANNOYING!! Love the first record, Home, Seasons, The acoustic set, Next is decent but I find this record almost unlistenable. Sorry.
Rating: - 10 years later and Sevendust are stonger than ever
I've been a big fan of Sevendust for almost seven years now. They are one of metal's most likeable and most hard working bands as well as one of the most underrated bands in hard rock and metal. The latest offering from Sevendust 2007's "Alpha" is the band's heaviest, strongest and best album to date thus far and it's already up there with their classic 1997 self titled debut and 1999's "Home". This album definately proves that after ten long years Sevendust are still going strong, and these guys ... Read More
Rating: - The Sevendust Disappointment
The new album "alpha" sounds like a completely different band. I understand that Sevendust has changed quite a bit since their debut album that was self titled. I don't necessarily think it was a great decision to change but I bought and kept and still listen to every sevendust album ever recorded besides "alpha" Lejon has the best voice in the genre of rock. He has the tough and aggressive vocals that can be changed to the greatest singing voice in rock. I felt like this album completely wasted ... Read More
Rating: - For anyone who has never listened to Sevendust before...
I listen to Sevendust to feel the energy, the heart and the soul that they pour into their music. With every beat in each song you can feel the power of those effects growing stronger. It's easy to tell that each member of the band is there because they love the music they make and can't wait to share it with anyone willing to listen.
And if you ever see them live all of the notions I have expressed will only become more evident.
Obviously I would recommend any of their albums, but this is ... Read More
