距上一张全长时隔三年之后的新作，6X7重回独立乐迷视野。这支已经成立12年的独立摇滚老团更显淡定，声色把玩信手拈来之意尽显独立音乐的跨界本色。个人听感就像缺失人声的澳洲独立团“搏斗艺术”（Art of Fighting）。在感情色彩的隐敛上较后者更胜一筹。如果形象点描述，听者和创作者的影像都虚虚飘浮于声音之中。对不需要明确指向性的听者来说，这张封面很北欧的新专是不错的选择。换言之，惯于“按图择音”者很容易发现所得非是。

First off: Don’t let the Viking scare you, he only wants to shake your hand.

However, maybe you should be slightly afraid of the contents embedded on the disc lurking beneath our Nordic friend. See, Casually Smashed To Pieces isn’t your typical “album.” No, Kent, Ohio’s Six Parts Seven haven’t so much redefined their sound as they’ve transcended it here, bringing in new sonic elements, textures and feelings to weave a tapestry as sprawling as the Himalayas. In other words, forget what you think the disc sounds like – because, chances are, you’re wrong.

Epic guitar driven soundscapes filled with hooks – Village Voice

Once you acquire the taste it’s hard not to get addicted – XLR8R

Their tunes are sweetly folkish in mood but rather than verse – chorus – verse song structure that might make the absence of a vocalist noticeable the music gently swells towards peaks keeping the focus on the guitar interplay. The result is incredibly fluid and familiar sounding touching none of the standard bases one might expect from guitar-led group playing rural-inspired instrumental music. – Washington Post
