  1. Morgan simply lets his rage rock, infusing the album with the same kind of active/ alt-rock straddling approach that's vaulted Seether's previous releases to gold status.
  2. With hardly a distraction or ballad in sight, it is their most direct and focused record yet, and quite possibly their most consistent.
  3. On this South African band's third album, the guitar tones are a teeth-grinding, digitized-sounding nightmare, and a series of I'm-singing-through-a-cell-phone vocal filters can't disguise how played out Morgan's style is.
  4. Anyone believing that Bush betrayed grunge's punk promise will feel like reaching for a shotgun. [Aug 2008, p.135]
  5. Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces is nearly all negative space with very little beauty.

    This album is very disappointing, commercialized and over-produced. I expected more from this band.

    I'm bored and disappointed in them. Nothing but a stupid attempt at catchy, poppy tunes from a band who I used to love for their emotional connection with any audience who would listen. Turns out you can't be a happy musician... Full Review »

    Seether has managed to keep their old style sounding as original as ever. if you enjoyed the old albums, you will not be disappointed with this one.
