Fans of Enchant will be in for a treat here, as I find that 7 Months sound very similar to the progressive rock legends, so much so, that vocalist Joe Booe could probably pass as Ted Leonard. And that's certainly not a bad thing.

7 Months' self-titled debut album is a pretty decent effort by a band that hasn't been very active since forever. In fact, for a prog band that nobody has really heard of, this is a great little gem if you stumble across it! While there's nothing here that hasn't been done better by other bands, the songs are all very well written and easy to listen to. Joe Booe has an incredible voice (if you like Ted Leonard, that is), and the music perfectly compliments it.

The music at times sounds very AOR-ish and very melodic, making even the rocking moments sound blissful, and as a whole, while this album isn't anything incredible or amazing, I can't find any reason to knock it. If you needed a reason to check out this band, then the closing track 'Senorita Serenade' is definitely it. This song makes the entire record worthwhile, with melodic and epic elements, great guitar work and some fantastic keyboard melodies, this is a fantastic song that really brings it all together. And of course, the vocals on this track are some of the best I've ever heard.

A good album if you come across it. Especially for fans of Enchant.
