Review - Seether - Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces

Seether - Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces

View The Review

2 out of 10

It's so inoffensive it's offensive. Seether is that band who seems to soundtrack every shit action/superhero film, every driving/racing game. They're the ones who did that terrible duet with the lass from that Evanescence band and who the vocalist went onto scuttle. It's only when you start listening to it that you realise how out of touch it is. Or maybe I am. Are people still bothered about middle-of-the-road bands like this anymore? Lacking the heaviness of early nu-metal and the song writing of 90’s rock means you are left with one of the most soulless pieces of music I have heard in a long time. Boring, lack lustre riffs and structures and clichéd lyrics. My God they're clichéd.

As harsh as this sounds it's just the truth. The most interesting thing about them is they're from South Africa. Other than that it will only find interest from those kids that still hold onto their bootleg Coal Chamber hoodies and do that bent double, bobbing for apples dance in rock clubs.
