Awesome times 2
It is deep and full of mind tingling thoughts. I love this CD. A lot of power, emotion and energy is recorded here. .
I don't know if my order was right or not
I was sent Seether, Disclaimer II, a red labeled CD I do not know if it is the one my husband asked for or not. . I won't know until Christmas morning! It doesn't look the the album cover that is shown here.
One of the best hard-rock debuts of this decade.
Now, I have nothing against Nickelback as a band, but they are extremely overplayed. In a world where you can't go 10 minutes without hearing a Nickelback tune on the radio, Seether is there to offer an in-your-face answer to the formulaic approach that so many bands are using.
Their name is very appropriate, because they are seething with intensity, anger, and emotion. They had a handful of hit songs on this cd, most notably "Fine Again", but it is a very strong cd. If you want some hard rock with some real attitude and energy, I would check these guys out. Also, their second disc, Karma and Effect, is just as good.
Awesome
I love every song and I love Shaun Morgan's voice. I love this band. These guys in are awesome in concert too. I do like Broken but I've heard it so much that I got tired of hearing it. Pride is my favorite song and The Gift. I recommend it to everyone.
Awesome and I disagree with those saying they copy other grungy bands
The guitars while being atypically heavy still don't sound like most bands that I've heard. Shaun Morgan's voice is not like anyone else out there that I've heard (and maybe that's my fault but bear with me). Now on to the album no more whining :).
1. Gasoline=Absolutely hilarious song about superficial women, I actually laugh when I'm singing along to this one. I think Morgan is right on with how he characterizes women who think the only way to make them pretty is to listen to others and wear lots of makeup.
2. 69 Tea=This one is also pretty funny. At one point Morgan sings "Don't tell me that you're bedwetters, I don't care if you are". Mostly about being crazy but not caring what others think about who you are, love the guitars throughout the song.
3. Fine Again=One of the hits on this album. About alcoholism but the chorus is very uplifting and the breakdown is great as well. Morgan's voice isn't exactly on display here (like it is more prominently on Karma and Effect) but it still seems pretty good to me.
4. Needles=My second favorite song on the album. A lot of negative feelings that I can't really describe are in this song, it is pretty heavy and full of some nice screams. Favorite lyric: "Let me stick my needles in and let me hurt you again. "
5. Driven Under=Another one of the hits. Slow burning and about a bad relationship with a woman. Although I think they could've shaved off about 30 40 seconds off this one, I don't skip any songs on any cd I have anyway and this one is very good if you're in the right mood.
6. Pride=A very good example of what Seether can do. Mixes melody and the harsh grating sides of metal. I sense some sadness in these lyrics: "Steal my pride, leave me blind" as if Morgan is saying I tried being nice to you but you screwed me over anyway.
7. Sympathetic=They should've released this as a single. It was listed as one of the songs on the CD's that are supposed to be the hits. Morgan seems to finally put down some of the walls and show that he cares about others.
8. Your Bore=The anger in this one slowly creeps up. It's pretty heavy but it's no Needles or F888 It. This lyric sums it up pretty well: "Cuz I can't seem to show you what you want to see, I can never give you anything you need, I'm sick of wasting time on what can never be, I cannot control you into wanting me. "
9. Fade Away=My apologies for gushing because I absolutely love this song, it is my favorite Seether song. The guitars start off slow then become heavier once the song gets going the second time around. I like this one because it starts off positive but this lyric makes it almost ironically depressing: "Today's the day we'll all fade away". Almost as if Morgan realizes that regardless of how hard he tries he might still come up short.
10. Pig=Similar to Needles as Morgan is basically insulting those who are overtly selfish because it perhaps upsets him because he tries to care but others don't.
11. F888 It=No real explanation really needed for this one. Very angry and pretty short as well. This album almost couldn't have got a Parental Advisory label if this song was removed. Best lyric: "I cannot please you all forever I cannot please you at all".
12. Broken=Since ruined by Amy Lee's relationship with Shaun as they remade this song and screwed it up. Perfect just the way it is on here and my third favorite song on the album. All acoustic and summed up best by this lyric: "Cuz I'm broken when I'm open and I don't feel like I am strong enough".
Overall rating here 10 out of 10. However I love all the music I have so I give that for every album I have. However if you like nu-grunge (Smile Empty Soul, old Puddle of Mudd, old Nickelback, etc. ) this is worth checking out. .
