 (7 Customer Reviews)
1970's SEVEN, the mysteriously titled fifth Steppenwolf album overall, sees the group's return to the good-old heavy metal direction. 1969's MONSTER, an album that explored more serious social topics, proved to be an experimental side-step. Steppenwolf ... Full Descriptiongets back to basics on such Spinal Tap-esque titles as the funk rocker "Ball Crusher" and the instrumental "Earschplittenloudenboomer." With "Snowblind Friend," the band revisits the cautionary drug tale originally laid down in their '60s anthem "The Pusher." The most lyrically interesting track on the album is definitely "Renegade," in which Steppenwolf singer/leader John Kay tells the autobiographical tale of how he and his family fled Nazi Germany during World War II.
Steppenwolf: John Kay (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Larry Byrom (guitar, background vocals); Goldie McJohn (keyboards); George Biondo (bass guitar, background vocals); Jerry Edmunton (drums, background vocals).
Recording information: 1970.
Rolling Stone (12/2/70, p.54) - "...The tension which charecterized some of Steppenwolf's more popular material is missing..." Hide Description Steppenwolf Seven Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews They Don't Get Any Better Than This!
First, to address two misconceptions in the blurb above, this was in fact the seventh release from Steppenwolf counting "Early Steppenwolf" and "Steppenwolf Live."
Second, John Kay and his family did not escape from Nazi Germany... it was from Communist East Germany. Check your dates against his age.
The Seven album in the band's own estimation (along with Monster) is the best work they ever did. Songs are top drawer from front to back, the playing is superb, and the production makes this recording sound contemporary. These guys ALWAYS had the goods. If you're going to own just one Steppenwolf CD, this should be it.

 Mislead by New Release Date
When this was reissued this year I ordered because I thought it was a new, remastered version. Unfortunately it was just the same version from many years ago at a lower price. Music still good but don't buy if you think it is a remastered version.

Its not what you think!
Bought this from CD Universe when 2006 version was announced thinking it was a newly remastered version of the original CD. It's not, just a lower price version of the original CD. If you already have a copy, don't buy this one. Still great music. Hopefully a remastered version is on the way someday....

A real rock classic! I've seen John Kay and Steppenwolf recently, and they still have their own special sound. After all these years, Steppenwolf remains the best sound ever.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Steppenwolf's best~~~
The one two punch of 'Renegade' and 'Foggy Mental Breakdown' alone are worth buying this cd.The musicianship and songwriting is top rate. there is a whole lot more depth to this band than 'born to be wild' and 'magic carpet ride'. if thats all you are familiar with this cd will probably blow you away.

Cornel West is one of America’s most gifted, provocative, and important public intellectuals and has been described as a man who plays two roles. First, he is a highly regarded scholar of religion, philosophy, and African-American studies. Formerly a university professor at Harvard (a position held by only 17 of 7,000 faculty), he is currently a Professor of Religion and African American Studies at Princeton University. Second, he is described as an "intellectual provocateur" outside of the academic world, appearing in lecture halls, on television, at protest rallies, on his own rap CD, and on the silver screen. West’s unprecedented academic achievements include a 1973 degree from Harvard University in which he graduated magna cum laude in just three years, and MA (1975) and Ph.D. (1980) degrees from Princeton University. West’s writing, speaking, and teachings have been known to weave together the American traditions of the Baptist church, transcendentalism, socialism, and pragmatism. He has won numerous awards, including the American Book Award, and has received more than 20 honorary degrees. In his scholarly work, his book Race Matters sold nearly 400,000 copies and influenced a national dialogue on race, justice and democracy.A political theorist who’s worked on presidential bids by Bill Bradley, Al Sharpton and now Barack Obama, West has also been involved with such projects as the Million Man March and Russell Simmon’s Hip Hop Summit. He continues to be an integral part of social change as well as a driving force in pop culture. He has appeared in both The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions playing one of the elders, Councilor West, while also providing philosophical commentary on all three Matrix films in The Ultimate Matrix Collection. With his third CD project, West joins forces with Black Men Who Mean Business (BMWMB) consisting of Sacramento-based writer and producer Mike Dailey and his brother Clifton West along with a who’s who of hip hop and R&B all-stars such as Prince, Andre 3000, Jill Scott, Talib Kweli, KRS-1 and the late Gerald Levert among others with the mission of bringing back the essence of Black music with a ‘real’ ...
