Seether, with what seems to be a changed frontman, hits the music scene with their third true album. After an eventful
year for the frontman, one that we won’t go into details with, a new out look in life has emerged and a somewhat new
sound has followed. It does, at least for me, to truly love this album. Back from “Disclaimer,” which was the
debut U.S. album, the rougher voice and harder music Seether has materialized into a
lyrical and less rough version of them selves. Don’t get me wrong, the old Seether can still be heard on this album,
but it’s blended very well with the newer, more mature Seether. The album begins with a track named “Like Suicide.”
It displays lyrics that unquestionably have a deep meaning for the band. It is very easy to get lost in this song. Next on
the track list is the first single. “Fake It,” is a remarkable song this is sure to take off even more than it
already has. “Six Gun Quota” has this unique sound that will stick inside your head and stay there. Overall this
is a pretty solid album and may be the best from them to date; I’ll leave that for you to decide. The album starts off
great and by the end flattens out to an “Okay” line. I’m a sucker for guitar solos and there were not enough
of them for me. They kept it simple, but simple can be good and for the most part they were right. This was an album that
grows, grows on you that is. The first listen you might be saying “What the hell is this,” but after a few more
time through you will love at least ¾ of the album.
