    Atmosphere's least frantic, most playful album. [Nov 2003, p.114]

    Bristles with the independent spirit that put both punk and hip-hop on the map.
  3. Blender

    Slug 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]

    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.

    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.
  6. Delusions of Adequacy
    70
    It is far too lengthy to function as a coherent hip-hop record.
  7. PopMatters
    30
    Life is too short to spend valuable time with a record as essentially inessential as Seven's Travels.

A BOMB ASS ALBUM. This cd is great. Slug has always had an intensive lyrical ability. Slug has never dissapointed me with any of his music. Slug is the nbr 1 artist if u ask me. Fuck MAINSTREAM crap. Slug is real. If u have a problem with this cd its best that u shut up and pop in ur favorite Nelly cd. That ought to suit u better. -Lame-… Expand

    These guys are a bunch of wannabe thugs. I saw them live at the warped tour, and they almost incited a riot by pissing off the crowd. Not These guys are a bunch of wannabe thugs.
