"Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey is a colossal success; a myriad of angular guitars, impassioned drumming and deeply expressive vocals. The guitar work of vocalist Lance Lammers seems to become more forceful throughout the record, as he excels on Second Rome and Dress Rehearsal, while the rhythm section is bruising but controlled. Lyrically, the band addresses interpersonal relationships, but in a far more inventive manner than most. Unknown Satellite and No Return Address are other highlights from a record that is clearly worth finding. Abrasive, intelligent and passionate, Seven Storey are one of the sharpest acts on the Deep Elm roster, and that is truly impressive." - Jersey Beat

"Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey is intense, hook laden, Husker Du-esque, guitar layered post hardcore rock. The songs are brooding and powerfully constructed, usually starting out reserved but slowly sucking you in as the ride gets heavier and more intricate. As always with Seven Storey, the packaging and artwork suits the mood well and on the whole this is a great record that you'll be pretty damn lost without." - Fracture

"Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey has definitely been worth the wait. These are ten songs of solid rock, careful instrumentals and fine musicianship. Lance Lammers not only has a really unique voice, he also writes cryptic, biting lyrics that will have you singing along. The bass work here is remarkable, as it is turned up to be a good partner with the drums and guitar. The remarkable thing on Dividing By Zero is the overall maturation of the band, which is heard in their texture and ability to be full-on rock one minute and delicate beauty the next. Seven Storey has done it...superbly." - Action Attack Helicopter

"On Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey, the band proudly refuse to accept the death of guitar rock and proceed to leave their listeners wondering if it ever died. The record features a modern guitar sound with angular and aggressive riffs intertwining and exploding all over the place. The songs are jerky and intense, providing a perfect backdrop for Lance Lammers' pissed off vocals. He's screamy at times, but mostly restrained, and he doesn't let his need to vent get in the way of turning in a few gentle melodies and catchy hooks. Dividing By Zero functions at a visceral level. It's brimming with turn-it-up-loud-and-bang-your-head moments, but there is depth here, too, which makes the album satisfying on an intellectual level as well." - Splendid

"Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey is encased in deep guitars, catchy rhythms and true to life lyrics. It's almost scary how real Lance Lammers' words are. The sound goes from twisted and dark to light and heartfelt. If you want to enjoy something new, Dividing By Zero would be the choice for you." - Punkbands

"Intelligent, challenging indie guitar music...a contradiction I know but Seven Storey have a warm, captivating and emotional spirit. Dividing By Zero has a textured simplicity, a dynamic tension in its restraint and cleverly orchestrated rage. Seven Storey talks of melancholy anti-ballads...angular yet always smooth and graceful. Ten beautiful rock songs. Recommended." - Organart

"The songs on Dividing By Zero by Seven Storey fully claim your attention as they are very tight, always understandable but never transparent. Seven Storey like to experiment, and one minute they're playing jazzy rhythm patterns and then all of a sudden, they're rocking their brains out. You have as many noisy elements as bluesy, but also straight forward rock, which is a difficult task. I imagine the band playing under a dark and cloudy heaven, trying to resist a mighty storm." - Enough

"Deep Elm Records has been showing us their aggressive side lately, and Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey is an interesting and aggressive chunk of plastic that further fleshes out the punk world's picture of Deep Elm. There's just something about Lance Lammers' voice - which lies somewhere between a growl and a croon - while the origin of the quiet, jangly verses punctuated with loud, power chord-driven choruses is clearly Nirvana or The Pixies. Seven Storey's music is decidedly in the intellectual tradition of indie rock, and consequently pushes the envelope more than most bands who attempt this style of music. Instr. 1 leads off the disc, and it's the strongest track here. Without having to come up with a big chorus Seven Storey is free to wander down whatever road is most interesting to them, and the simple guitar leads and chunky rhythm chug that drive this track are a path worthy of following. The band's buildups are dense, angular and complicated indie rock, and Seven Storey have a ton of potential evidenced in every track on this disc." - Deep Fry Bonanza

"With Dividing By Zero, I don't know if it's the awesome guitar work, the amazing vocals, the mind blowing lyrics or a combination of all of those things together that makes me like Seven Storey so much. Dividing By Zero is influenced by the sounds Fugazi with a little Foo Fighters mixed in, creating an amazing blend of guitar heavy, technical, straight up rock and roll. The lyrics on this record are just as amazing, and in particular, I can't stop listening to Second Rome. This album is fantastic!" - Cope And Cry

"Dividing By Zero is winding and noisy, and Seven Storey create rock to get you going. No matter what mood you're in, putting on the record and listening to the band wail away on their instruments will make you really want to move. The light song structures give the band room to roam, from hard rock to poppy songs overshadowed by guitar rock through quirky noise. Seven Storey always seem to be able to improvise for the situation and deliver something that will make you stop and listen." - In Music We Trust

"Seven Storey play with a maturity on Dividing By Zero, both musically and lyrically, that is kind of rare these days. There is a hardcore feel combined with an indie rock flair, creating something that is wholly different." - Impact

"Seven Storey's latest, Dividing by Zero, is an aggressive mix of sounds...an indie machine gun of tight, wiry guitar riffs propelled by a heavy polyrhythmic undercurrent. Lance Lammers screams like a he's seriously pissed off and his antagonistic guitar sound appears to be the product of strangling riffs through an amphetamine-fueled telecaster. Seven Storey comes across like a lean, mean welterweight boxer, throwing out angst fueled musical punches with deadly precision." - Earpollution

"I got a package from Deep Elm today and in it was Dividing By Zero from my new favorite band, Seven Storey. These guys have made a record that blends all the finest aspects of hardcore power, punk energy, rock style and indie intelligence. This is for fans of blistering guitars, a stylish vocal delivery and a backbone that holds it down. Check out Seven Storey. You will not be disappointed." - Bedlam Society

"Seven Storey did it again. On Dividing By Zero, Lance Lammers' vocals emerge with grating force and mix well with the band's driven guitar rock. The flurry of strong guitars, ripping bass and steady drums create orchestrated pandemonium, and their cynical lyrics are balanced by the aggressive music. Another solid Deep Elm release and another solid record from a band that keeps improving." - Friction

"Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey has a very unique sound...a sort of spastic take on indie rock that juxtaposed against what has been going on, continues to sound refreshingly different. Nothing about this band sounds typical, and that's the clincher." - Invisible Youth

"Dividing By Zero from Seven Storey is the merging of conventional rock with crazier, more intricate music. This record is interesting to say the least, and I am happy to see Deep Elm work with another inventive and original act. One instrumental, No Return Address is the first song I have heard that uses the noise of connecting to the internet. Very creative. If you see this in a store pick it up because it rocks and rolls." - Abhor

"Dividing By Zero shows Seven Storey going in a straightforward, high powered rock direction, starting off with one of the best introductions to an album I've heard in a long time. Instr. 1 has a rocking drum beat and some wailing guitar licks, wrapped around a rolling, energetic tempo, and it lays the framework for what's to follow. From there, Lance Lammer's guitar wails away in a hardcore / punk assault of riffage, and his voice goes from shouting to singing with his own trademark harshness. It's always admirable when a band develops their sound, and Lammers continues to drive Seven Storey in new and interesting directions." - Delusions of Adequacy

"The moment I put Dividing By Zero in the stereo, the guitars shouted out to me that Seven Storey was in charge. The band falls into the indie rock category, but they hit harder than most of a similar style. Seven Storey retain that guitar driven edge throughout, with Erase as the true standout, which goes for a more garage punk sound but avoids the gritty trappings." - Pastepunk
