Sister Seven has a great sound. Though occasionally confusing, they are skilled performers that deserve a listen. What puts them over the top is their strong vocalist, Patrice Pike. She can transform her voice over and over again, offering a great range and diverse tracks.
The first thing I noticed is that the opening tracks sounded a lot like Skunk Anansie. On “Fallen Angel”, Pike sounds a lot like their vocalist, Skin. The next track sounds like Skunk again. I wondered if it’s just the vocal notes, but the chorus of “Polishing The Looking Glass” sounds remarkably like Skunk’s “Secretly”.
Finally, “Under The Radar” feels more like an original track. It’s country, it’s rock, and it’s damn good. I really dug “The Only Thing That’s Real”. Sister Seven can go from the heaviness of Skunk Anansie to kicking around in Sheryl Crow’s league.
The second half of the album opens nicely with “Undone”. A big track that is easy on the ears but feels full and energized. “Loaded” does the rock ‘n’ roll thing. From the hook to the vocals, it sizzles. “Kiss Me Baby” is pop rock that’s radio ready without being too cute.
Getting their digs into Zepplin, Sister Seven cracks out the old-school rock on “Leave This Love Behind”. Each track is different from the previous track, keeping you continually excited. Sister Seven packs a lot of music into Wrestling Over Tiny Matters.
