Formerly
know as Saron Gas, Seether-Disclaimer produced by Jay Baumgardner
(Papa Roach, Drowning Pool) is the answer to the post nickelback
period most hard rock fans have been waiting for. This 12
song album is a relief effort into the hard rock genre that
bleeds the ears and soothes the senses all at the same time.
Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist
Shaun Morgan has a distinct similarity to Kurt Cobain in his
voice work, and it makes you feel like you're listening to
the deceased legend immediately as you hear the opening song
"Gasoline". The track "Driven Under" is a perfect example
of brilliant lyrical work and first-rate songwriting. It takes
you into the world of a f*cked up relationship and a crazy
bitch with a gun. It's unbelievably deep music that just simply
has to be heard. The music itself follows more along the lines
of Nickelback and Creed then Nirvana, but there are a few
tracks present that you can tell had Nirvana influence. Not
too heavy, not too soft, the tracks offer an excellent variation
of hard and soft rock. This band will definitely head toward
the top of the charts with the right promotion and interest.
Seether
will play Ozzfest 2002 this year, a great place to promote
themselves and their music. Although playing Ozzfest is a
great accomplishment in itself, the concert may be the wrong
venue to show the world their music (the album itself is due
Aug. 20th, long after Ozzfest is over). The reason why is
that most Ozzfest fans are looking for an intense show, with
lots of reason to head bang and mosh. Seether may or may not
be able to provide this for them. Tracks like "Pride", "F*ck
It", "Pig", "Your Bore" "Gasoline" and "Needles" would be
perfect for the concert, while the other tracks may be too
soft.
Overall,
Seether is a perfect addition to your music collection. Catch
them at Ozzfest and buy the cd later on this year. It's just
that good.
