SpinAtmosphere's least frantic, most playful album. [Nov 2003, p.114]
-
Alternative PressSeven's Travels ultimately nods to the mainstream as much as to the underground. [Nov 2003, p.116]
-
BlenderSlug pushes against the beat like he's afraid it'll pass by before he's done, returning to the challenges of coupledom. [Oct 2003, p.114]
-
The music is always full of life, and Slug's white-boy flow is brassy, deft, and one-of-a-kind.
-
Bristles with the independent spirit that put both punk and hip-hop on the map.
-
Seven's Travels features some of Ant's most adventurous and assured production.
-
Entertainment WeeklyAfter 70 minutes of world-weary musing and with little variation in Ant's linear, loop-based production, Seven's Travels feels like an overlong vacation. [26 Sep 2003, p.92]
-
Though leavened with self-deprecation and lacerating wit, Slug's unsparing self-analysis can feel a little solipsistic and oppressive, particularly over the course of the album's 70-minute run time.
-
Though it's not the emotionally draining follow-up many were expecting, Seven's Travels succeeds. Its saving grace is the fact that Slug and Ant remain ignorant of, or choose to completely ignore, the hip-hop conventions that have handcuffed similar artists for almost a decade.
-
Interesting, strong in places, but overlong and uneven.
-
It is far too lengthy to function as a coherent hip-hop record.
-
Self-loathing, navel-gazing and occasionally hilarious.
-
I suppose that this isn’t the album a lot of people were probably hoping for. But it’s never the album people were hoping for.
