Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces

One of my favorite albums

I like the music

It's an awesome album, had the cd and wanted it on vinyl Side D has the cover etched on it.

Before purchasing this album I had heard a couple of the tracks. The thing is the flow of the album from start to finish is not justified by simply hearing a song or two out of context. This is album is very reminiscent of Nirvana and Alice In Chains, of course two of Sean Morgan's big influences. Seether's sound is definitely well defined in this album, and unfortunately (thanks to the information age) this album may go unnoticed, people just don't buy records anymore. That aside this is an incredible album, I hope Seether runs in the direction of this album for the rest of their career.

Howard Benson is one of my favorite producers. He's the man behind the curtain for several fantastic rock acts, collaborating with Skillet, Creed, Flyleaf, Red, and much more. That being said, I haven't had time to listen to nearly every album he's produced, but out of the many I have had the pleasure of experiencing, Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces is easily the best. It's a fantastic listen start to finish, with the highlights being the humorous (and rude) "Fake It," radio-ready relationship song "Breakdown," and memorable "Walk Away From the Sun." One of the oddest parts about this record is "Eyes of the Devil," which ends with the line "Jesus, save me" sung passionately again and again. The cry for divine help comes out more honest and meaningful than any scripted spiritual regurgitation you'll find on a religious record, but such Christian sentiment feels out of place on a foul-mouthed album like this. Don't let the fact that there are only three explicit songs make you think there are only a handful of wayward words to worry about; vocalist Shaun Morgan drops the "f-bomb" over 20 times. ("FMLYHM" is the filthiest song, but the tune is so great it's a guilty pleasure, and definitely one of the album's most enjoyable moments.) Profanity aside, the only thing to be concerned about is the fact that "No Jesus Christ" is SEVEN MINUTES long, tempting me to skip it every time it comes on. And if your purchase includes both of the "Careless Whisper" bonus tracks, you're left with the choice to either skip one of them or listen to the same song twice, which is bothersome. (Skip the normal version. The strings version has a better outro and serves as a stronger conclusion to the album). At the end of the day, if you love great rock, this record is for you.

This is a good rock cd. nothing more,nothing less. some people will think it's coporate rock and that's their right.1. Like Suicide - Great! (9/10)2. Fake It - Classic (10/10)3. Breakdown - Different (8/10)4. FMLYHM - Catchy and Fun (9/10)5. Fallen - Heavy, classic Seether. (8/10)6. Rise Above This - Cool song (8/10)7. No Jesus Christ - Brilliant. (9/10)8. 6 Gun Quota -strong song (9/10)9. Walk Away From the Sun - Different style ! (9/10)10. Eyes of the Devil - New angle, but great. (8/10)11. Don't Believe -Heavy, good song.(8/10)12. Waste - Slower, relaxed tune. (7/10).

This album is great even if you are not a huge Seether fan. This was really the first Seether album I listened all the way through and it catches you from the moment track one starts. This album has something for everyone. It has the "mainstream" songs that are played on the radio and the heavier darker tunes that appeal to most when listening to this music genre.This is a great complete album for anyone looking to get into Seether.

This is easily my favorite Seether album. Every song is absolutely amazing. This album shows the band being able to scale down the heaviness of earlier albums in favor of better songwriting. They pull it off masterfully. This album showcases all that the band is capable of. From screaming to fairly mild balladry, they pull it all off. They even have enough skill to make Careless Whisper sound awesome. This is the place to start listening to Seether.

A very good sounding record. The depth is excellent a full amount on most of the record. The upper end detail is a little on the weak side, I thought it sounded better with the treble turned up a notch. The tone is just a bit on the dark side. The vinyl sounds better than the CD I own which has a bit less depth. The vinyl quality itself is also very good with not much surface noise.

Ich liebe diese Band und hab mir deshalb das Album gekauft :D

I had heard a couple of songs from this album before I bought it. And I loved them. But the whole album is fantastic. There's not one song on there I don't like.

Un album à écouter au "calme" chez soit.Super groupe et très bon album.

Album molto bello,lo consiglio ai fan del gruppo,ma anche a chi non li conosce!Si fa acoltare e vien voglia di ascoltarlo ancora,percio' e' un ottimo pregio per un cd al giorno d'oggi!
