"This is a great CD. It is an exhibition of pop-rock at its rhythmic best. Kristi, the vocals singer has a extraordinary voice just as good as Vanessa Carlton and better than Amy Lee of Evanescence. I can see bigger and better things for her like what happened to Delerium's Sarah McLachlan. I mainly got this CD for the second song on the album list 'Breakthrough' which has a great party feel to it and can be used for a dance mix. I gave this CD a twirl in my CD player and loved all the songs - all 11 songs are pure pleasing listening tracks. This is pop rock music with some heavier moments in the later tracks of this CD. I also enjoyed the lyrics of the song 'He's Reason Enough', a song of a woman's love for a man. Wow, I so love Kristi's voice.

Anyone a fan of Hillary Duff, Tori Amos and Vanessa Carlton will love this small group from the USA."

"Ever since i got their single Breakthrough, i knew i had to get their cd. So when i saw it last weekend, i bought it right away. I wasn't dissapointed



1.Top Of The World-10/10: This is a really fun song. I really like in the 3rd verse when they use the sound effects. Basically, the meaning is "i will be on top, and never slide down". 2:30.



2.Breakthrough-10/10: Everyone who knows Hope 7 knows this song. It has been around since summer 2003. Its a fun upbeat song about reaching for your dreams no matter what. 2:43



3.Stupid People-10/10: Another great upbeat song, and the guys do a little singing too. 3:08



4.Fly-10/10: When i bought the Breakthrough single, this song was on it. It's a song with a great meaning. The meaning is "I'll fly and face the obstacles along the way" 3:07



5.One Thing-10/10: I think some people can relate to this song. It talks about when you go out with somebody and they use you only to get one thing. 3:03



6.He's Enough Reason-10/10: I can kind of relate to this song (If you flip it around and make the song a guy talking to his girlfriend) It has that happy feel to it, talking about wanting to spend every moment with the person you love, but you can't promise forever. One of my favorites off this cd. 3:29



7.Better Off-10/10: This song is fast but talks about how her life is better off this way ever since she dumped her ex. I like the part in the 3rd verse when she goes "I'm not the one whose broken" 2:45



8.Falling Down Your Stare-9/10: I don't find myself listening to this song as much as the others. But i like her voice in the verses. 4:03



9.I Want Everything-10/10: At first when i heard the clip, i thought "They just changed the words to Breakthrough," but when i listened to the whole song, it is a little different. I like the ending, when it goes acapella and then the music comes back on for about 2 seconds and then cuts back off. 2:55



10.Feels So Good-10/10: This is another slow song. It's the longest too. It talks about not being afraid to show the real you. "it feels so good to finally be me. I was an open book, never bothered to read." 4:27



11.Who We Are-10/10: A great message and great beat. It really sounds like an ending song. The message is we are all free and stars in our own way. One of the guys sings in the 3rd verse too. 2:57



Overall: 10/10



This cd is really good and i reccomend it to everyone."

Great New Pop-Rock Band!

"I bought Hope 7's single BREAKTHROUGH- loved it and rushed to get this-their first CD-the minute it came out. I am glad I did -its great! Kristi Mc Clave has got a great voice-maybe the best of all the young women rock singers!Her band -three guys is great too- Chase Duddy slams down a great beat on drums-Chevy Martinez plays great bass-and Dave Noble rocks out on guitar!

Some of the songs-have been released on soundtracks-like their hits BREAKTHROUGH and I WANT EVERYTHING but its good to have them on one CD ! I like the news songs too-fast ones like STUPID PEOPLE and ONE THING,as well as slower songs like FEELS SO GOOD and FALLING DOWN YOUR STARE (one of 2 songs Kristi co-wrote!).

My favorite song maybe the CD closer-WHO WE ARE-which has a very positive message for young people:""Live your life you better not be faking."

All the songs are good and it is clear that Hope 7 are not faking-they are the real thing- a great new pop- rock band!

PS-a note for parents-this is a positive CD for young people-no bad langauge or inappropriate messages.It would make a great gift

for a young person-especially a young girl!"
