I'd like to point out that one of the things contributing to 7/4 (Shoreline)'s distinctive feel is that the song is played in 7/4 time (7 beats to a measure). They found such a wonderful groove using this uncommon time signature -- and they pay tribute to that not just in the title, but also in the line about trying to "steal the beat", which is kind of what happens in 7/4 time.
