SENSATIONAL!!,
FEET. They are favorites and beautifully done by Jessy Dixon, Sherri Easter, Ivan Parker, Reggie & Ladye Love Smith and The Booth Brothers. They have a special meaning to me. Also, a lyrics songbook was included which made it easier to remember the
words. The audience interactive comments were great to see and listen to from Johannesburg fans who enjoy the performances
of those anointed singers who are the homecoming friends. I am uplifted and inspired every time.

Another Great Release,
Here’s a break down of the songs
Like Suicide 10/10 – This song is exactly what I think of when I think of Seether, great guitar riffs and a catchy chorus.
Fake It 9/10 – Very catch but doesn’t sound like the classic Seether. After hearing the song 20 times it tends to get a bit Repetitive.
Breakdown 10/10 – Very sad song (The sun is gone, and the flowers rot). The first time i heard this song I thought I was listening to Breaking Benjamin. But this song has all the elements of an Amazing Seether song (great lyrics, great guitar riffs)
FMLYHM 10/10 – Reminds me of my last girlfriend. I like songs I can relate to. Has a very catch chorus and is very interesting.
Fallen 7/10 – This is one of the weaker songs on the Cd. It has weak guitars (a lot of the parts don’t even have guitar on them) just a very forgettable song.
Rise Above This 5/10 – My least favorite song on the CD. This song was written about Eugene Welgemoed before his death. It’s (this is going to sound bad) Optimistic. It just don’t fit on this CD. The guitars are weak and the lyrics don’t sound like Seether.
No Jesus Christ 10/10 – A much needed heavy point on the CD. One of the best songs on this Cd. The guitars are very unique, amazingly catchy riff. The premise behind the song just makes it stand out on here.
6 Gun Quota 9/10 – Catchy, classic Seether. The guitars aren’t amazing but the lyrics counteract that.
Walk Away From The Sun 10/10 – This is my favorite song on the CD. This reminds me of Songs like Plastic Man, and Broken(without Amy Lee) it should have been at the end. Shaun makes this one of the most emotional songs he has ever written.
Eyes of the Devil 10/10 – Another classic Seether song. The perfect balance of lyrical amazement and catch guitar riffs. This song if perfect after Walk Away From The Sun, it continues on that emotional path.
Don’t Believe 10/10 – This song could have been off of Disclaimer. Perfect mix of heavy, distorted guitars and catchy riffs.
Waste 9/10 – This song starts off and sounds like Pink Floyd. Has some of the best lyrics on the CD and amazing guitars. Great close to the CD.
so overall 109/120 = 9/10 = 4.5 rounded up to 5 Stars

Despite persona issues, Shaun Morgan and Seether put out a solid album,
THE DISC: (2007) 12 tracks clocking in at approximately 50 minutes. Included with the disc is a 10-page booklet containing song titles/credits, song lyrics, a dedication to Morgan’s brother Eugene Welgemoed (R.I.P.), artwork by famed Chinese-American artist David G. Ho, and thank you’s. Music by Seether, all lyrics by Morgan. This is the band’s 3rd studio album. Label: Wind-up Records.
COMMENTS: Seether continues their breed of angry post grunge songs (with an affinity for the F-bomb – which sometimes works, but usually doesn’t). “Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces” is a solid album, but there’s nothing out of the ordinary here. To me, Seether is still in the same class with Breaking Benjamin, Staind, Three Days Grace, Crossfade, Cold, etc… the band continues to write quality songs that deliver with conviction. There are some issues here that perhaps affected the songs/album – Morgan dealing with his brother’s suicide, his own drug addiction, and numerous production delays. Also, gone is guitarist Pat Callahan – in these 2nd tier rock bands, 2 guitars are usually better than 1. “Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces” is a solid album, filled with stinging guitar riffs and some decent hooks scattered through out. I find myself listening to the entire disc without hitting the `skip’ button. While there’s no mainstream rock powerhouse hit like Disclaimer’s “Fine Again”, or a pound your fist get-up-and-yell track like “Gasoline”, or a top-notch smoky ballad like “Broken”, “Finding Beauty” still manages to please – reaching #9 on Billboard’s Top 200 albums in 2007. 11 of the 12 songs fit into the 3-5 minute range, with only “No Jesus Christ” breaking the mold at over 7 minutes long. Two singles did emerge – the most well known track on the album “Fake It”, and the mainstream mid tempo “Rise Above This” (about one brother missing the other). Other highlights include the heavy opener “Like Suicide”, the crunchy rhythm guitars in “Fallen” (sounds like it could be a Godsmack tune), the slower acoustic “Walk Away From The Sun” that gradually picks up speed, and the beautiful final cut “Waste”. Several reviewers here on Amazon (as well as other sources) have said how different they feel this album is when compared to “Disclaimer” (2002) and “Karma And Effect” (2005). I guess I’m not on the same bus – I think this sounds a lot like previous Seether albums… maybe too much so. “Finding Beauty” is trademark Seether – melodic with crunchy guitars, good familiar vocals, and lots of attitude. “Finding Beauty” will not hit you as hard as “Disclaimer”, but it’s still a solid release (4 stars).

Look for the maroon sticker… …if you’re looking for “Careless Whisper”…,
The “hidden track” actually appears twice — Trk 13 is “Careless Whisper Cut 1” (5:01), Trk 14 is “Careless Whisper Cut 2” (4:24). I can’t detect much difference between the two, other than “Cut 1” sounds a little strange (like a broken cd) before the fade-out…. “Cut 2” seems to be the version they play on the radio.
Disclaimer, was not previously familiar with the band or their other records, though the name was familiar. As for the rest of the album, if you like good hard rock you should like this. (WinAmp lists genre as “Post-Grunge Alternative Rock”, whatever that means….) In particular “Fake It” (also heard on radio, catchy), “FMLYHM”, “No Jesus Christ” are all notable. The whole cd rocks. This is not a case where you feel like you got ripped off buying a cd for one track & then the rest sucks…
Recommended for all you hard-rockin’ George Michael fans out there — this is right up there with Limp Bizkit’s “classic” remake of “Faith”….
