Seether With a New Album Yay
July 17, 2007
Seether really doesn't satisfy me. Their sound is an inherently bland mixture of low guitar riffs and overall unsurprising beats. They are popular for sub-par tracks like "Fine Again" and "Broken" with Evanescence's Amy Lee (ex-girlfriend of frontman Shaun Morgan).
The new album entitled "Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces" or "Finding Beauty in Too Long of an Album Title in Negative-Spaces" is set to drop Oct. 23 courtesy of Wind-Up Records, the great people who brought you other mediocre bands like Evanescence, 12 Stones, Alter Bridge, Creed etc..
In a recent interview with Billboard.com Morgan divulges a bit in a lie to get us interested in the long titled album:
"This is an album where I'm going to be proud of all the songs for a change, because there were so many to choose from, from the beginning.."
It's certainly good to know you lack pride in your work at times. Tell us more.
"As far as the sound goes, it's not a complete departure. You won't pick this album up and hear German polka music."
Oh I see, no German Polka. Gotcha.
"..I think the point was to try and explore the poppier side of the band. Having said that, we explored the heavier side of the band too. It's an album of extremes, or oxymorons, in a way."
A "poppier" side, grrreat.
On an up note, I've seen Seether in concert a couple times and they put on a pretty good show. They get into their music certainly, and the leaked clips of one of the new tracks entitled "Like Suicide" give hope for a different sound and good things to come.
Look for Seether with Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace in a city near you this fall, and judge for yourself.
