A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Phil Ashcroft: It's unfathomable that their rapidly improving discography - from the patchy 'Become' (2005) through the impressive 'Waiting In The Wings' (2006) to the simply awesome 'Mercy Falls' (2008) - didn't see Seventh Wonder raise their profile significantly outside of their native Sweden. The latter was widely lauded by those in the know as a masterpiece, but if you thought that 'The Great Escape' couldn't possibly scale the same lofty heights, then think again. In common with fellow Scandinavians Circus Maximus, Silent Call and Magic Pie, Seventh Wonder generally shy away from the darker and heavier end of the progressive metal genre and concentrate on soaring melodies and challenging guitar and keyboard parts, but it's singer Tommy Karevik who's the band's biggest asset. http://ping.fm/DrJ4j
