Editorial Reviews :
Creed's brand of life-affirming hard rock has done little to lift the spirits of label mates Seether. 'It seems like everything is gray and there's no color to behold,' the South African trio's frontman Shaun Morgan fumes on 'Fine Again.' Its debut album is an unrelentingly grim affair, punctuated by self-obsession and angst, grinding riffs, and dragging rhythms. 'It seems like I'm alone here, hollow again,' Morgan sings on 'Sympathetic.' But taking a cue from leading miserablists Staind, Seether temper their angst with melody and soul, allowing the sun to break through in sweeping, emotional tracks like 'Fade Away' and 'Driven Under.' Perhaps shifting a couple million units will improve the group's disposition. --Aidin Vaziri
Buyer Reviews :
This debut album from Seether is a great. Seether's sound can best be descirbed as Nirvana gone hard rock. The lead's singers voice on many tracks greatly resembles Kurt Cobain's. But don't get me wrong, in general the music is quite a bit harder than Nirvana. They nicely blend the hard songs with the more mellow one's. Personally I think the best tracks on the album are Fine Again, Driven Under, Sympathetic, Broken, Fade Away and 69 Tea. This is a very dark album, but infectiously catchy. If you like Chevelle, Taproot, Staind, or even Alice in Chains I would recommend this album to you.
Here's a track breakdown:
1. Gasoline - very grungy song, extremely catchy chorus, nice heavy guitar riffs 8.5/10
2. 69 Tea - another grunge song that breaks into heavy guitar and drums during the chorus, also a catchy song, interesting lyrics 9/10
3. Fine Again - their first single, surely you've heard it on the radio, my favorite song on the cd, very dark song about alcoholism, catchiest chorus on the whole cd 10/10
4. Needles - Another very dark song, the tempo is medium paced, again breaking into heavy guitar riffs during the chorus with more of a mellow bridge 7.5/10
5. Driven Under - one of the slower songs on the cd. Very emotional lyrics, yet again with an exploding chorus. 7.5/10
6. Pride - one of the hardest songs on the cd. Has a faster pace than most of the other songs, almost growling like verses, than slows down for the chorus. This song doesn't follow the same model as the others. Awsome ending! 9/10
7. Sympathetic - Slowest song on the cd by far, the tune reminds me of Lifehouse, but before you get turned off give it a listen, they really pull it off! Super catchy chorus. This song is placed perfectly on the cd. Also unlike any other song on the cd. 10/10
8. Your Bore - Sounds similar to song # 4, listen to the drum beat they have going, it's great. Hard chorus. 8.5/10
9. Fade Away - Second slowest song on the Album. But it has a great sound to it, probably has the least voice fluctuation in it. Very mellow, but about 1/2 way through the guitar picks up and it sounds awsome. 9/10
10. Pig - Dark chorus, with almost a growling voice. Follows the pattern of most of the songs, but the way this song is put together is brilliant. They have the hard rock sound going strong on this track. 9/10
11. Fxxk It - This song earned this cd the explicit lyrics alone. Very dark. It goes from a mellow verse into a very hard chorus, harder than anything else on the cd. Also, very catchy. Growling vocals going on. 8/10
12. Broken - They end the cd with a lighter song, but it seems to sum up the album nicely. Mellow song, never really breaks into heasvy guitar riffs, but his voice sounds great on this song. Good way to end the cd. 8.5/10
