As a UK based fan, this album took an eternity to get hold off, most stores still don't stock it, I managed to get an import copy from a well known UK high street store, got home, and cranked it!So, what is it like and does it beat "Disclaimer II"? in my view, for now, answer is "not quite", although already I like the album more after repeated listenings. It is more "grown up" than "Disclaimer", for me, although lyrically along similar themes to "Disclaimer" everything sounds more polished and smooth, the band seem to be more settled and confident. "Because of me" is an excellent opener with an infectious riff, "Remedy" is equally catchy. Other stand outs are "Never Leave", which is fantastic, "The Gift", and "The Truth". Well worth your money, the only issue I would have is that Seether don't seem too keen to tour the UK in support of the album, because I can really imagine some of the album being fantastic live. Here's hoping!
