  • Summary: Its third album on Wind-Up Records finds the band without lead guitarist Pat Callahan.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 1 out of 5
  2. Negative: 3 out of 5
  1. Morgan simply lets his rage rock, infusing the album with the same kind of active/ alt-rock straddling approach that's vaulted Seether's previous releases to gold status.
  2. With hardly a distraction or ballad in sight, it is their most direct and focused record yet, and quite possibly their most consistent.
  3. On this South African band's third album, the guitar tones are a teeth-grinding, digitized-sounding nightmare, and a series of I'm-singing-through-a-cell-phone vocal filters can't disguise how played out Morgan's style is.
  4. Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces is nearly all negative space with very little beauty.
  5. Anyone believing that Bush betrayed grunge's punk promise will feel like reaching for a shotgun. [Aug 2008, p.135]

    Almost as good as their first (2004). Best band since Alice In Chains. Morgan is best rock vocalist since Cobain. Even Canada's Matthew Good can't sustain this passion. Expand

    in this album seether display just how good they can be. this is thier best album yet and has HUGE replay value it has every thing from the softer seether to the head-banging mania that is the bands unique style and take on the music genre it really makes me want to see seethers next golden hit!

    This album is the best album of 2007. Every song has a bit of a different feel to it and every one of the songs are excellent. Need proof? How many albums that came out over a year ago, (that are any good), are still having songs chart very well. This album has also been recently certified as their best selling album. This album is great at first, but requires you to listen to it several times to really get it. This album could not get enough praise for it's greatness, and sadly will never get the sells it deserves (even though it has sold well compared to their other CD's). If you like Seether or even just a single song from them you must pick this up. Expand

    I really like this album. I recently saw seether in concert and they played songs from this album. Like suicide, Fake it, and FMLYHM are just a few songs that make this CD awesome. Expand

    Be fair Brandon - Brad and H are entitled to their opinion - even if others of us disagree. In general, this is a pretty good album, with solid guitar work, and some decent lyrics. If that's what you're looking for, you could do a lot worse than this! Expand

    This is a response to that "Hannah Montana" comment. Are you insinuating that only prepubescent pop girls wouldn't like this? Because FYI, the same overpaid intern-fucking executives that tell Hannah Montana what to do do the same thing to Seether while they turn the knobs to make this half-assed attempt at noise sound even remotely listenable. It's all produced by the same people, on the same immense editing equipment. You don't know anything and this is the worst album of the year. Go tie your bondage pants to the back of a car. Expand
