This CD ROCKS. Seven Mary Three burst on the scene with "Cumbersome", but in all honesty, it is probably my least favorite song on the disk. Unfortunately, after the release of American Standard, the record label that they were on collapsed, and it was a few years before the next CD, Rock Crown, came out. By that time, many people had forgotten about them, or didn't like the fact that Rock Crown wasn't "American Standard Part 2" and there was no remake of Cumbersome on there - the band had moved in a new direction! In the words of Jason Ross (vocals) "it was commercial suicide". However, to many 7M3 fans, Rock Crown is THE seven mary three CD.
When this cd was released in 1995 the song "Cumbersome" was a huge hit. I owned the cd the week it was released and found that the band had a great approach to both the lyrics and the music. Unlike a lot of the other bands from this time, 7M3 was more lyrical rock/pop and less about grunge (which is why I liked it so much). This band really stands out as one of the better new ones from this time period, its just too bad that this is the only title that produced a hit for them, after this release they kinda went into quiet obscurity and due to that fact you can now get their music cd's for give-away prices here on ebay. Check it out, you can actually buy this title now for a $1 or $2, no kidding! If you like good guitar rock with really good story-telling tunes then you'll like this cd, I guarantee it.Read full review
A product I have been wanting and very hard to find at what I think was a great price.

If you like Cumbersome at all buy this CD, another review said that wasn't the best song on this and I totally agree. I've worn out at least two copies of this over the years, a GREAT CD for sure! Sadly they're still not putting out music, it is a timeless sound.
7M3 is good stuff.
