Album of the weekend

Seether-Disclaimer II

I saw them live in New Hampshire and was deeply disappointed. They missed notes, Shaun Morgan forgot lyrics, and the set wasn't very long. It didn't work out for anyone and many people left early. It was one of the bigger disappointments in my concert going life because I really like this album.

Saying it is post grunge doesn't give it enough credit. It's alternative with a healthy dose of metal that doesn't fit into the nu-metal sound of Korn or Limp Bizkit (thank God). It also deals with more mature content. "Broken" the incredibly powerful duet with Amy Lee is about a failing relationship and you can feel the pain that both characters are going though. I think "Fine Again" deals with the mundane aspect of living a life after rehab-but it can be read several ways. That's one of the signs of a good song, for sure.

Seether peaked with this. Like Bush with Sixteen Stone this might have been all they had but it's a very good album.
