Vena Sera is the fourth studio album by American rock band Chevelle, released on April 3, 2007, through Epic Records.
[6] According to Blake Solomon of AbsolutePunk, "Vena Sera will not stun anyone with its creative approach to rock or metal or alternative music (depending which song you hear or who you ask).
"[8] Blabbermouth.net felt that the album "is a showcase for this band's tight, punchy sound, Peter Loeffler's fluid vocals...even if the tunes don't have the staying power of truly great rock music.
"[9] Michael Endelman of Entertainment Weekly stated that the album "begins to bore" because of the band's "reliance on a formula — chugging intro, choppy verses, clouds-parting choruses.
"[11] Sputnikmusic felt that the album was "[a] significant step in the right direction" and praised the addition of Dean Bernardini on bass, stating that "[he] breathes an astonishing amount of life into...the rhythm section.
