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

    If I were to compare most of the songs on Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces to tracks off of either Disclaimer II; Karma and Effect; or their latest album Isolate and Medicate, then Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces would not work out too well for FBINS. However, despite it being one of my least favorite Seether albums, it had some very good songs. For example, Fake It was very catchy; theIf I were to compare most of the songs on Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces to tracks off of either Disclaimer II; Karma and Effect; or their latest album Isolate and Medicate, then Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces would not work out too well for FBINS. However, despite it being one of my least favorite Seether albums, it had some very good songs. For example, Fake It was very catchy; the message of Rise Above This was great; and FMLYHM was weird but surprisingly one of my favorite tracks off this record.

    So as a final verdict:

    Get Fake It, Breakdown, FMLYHM, Fallen, Rise Above This, Don't Believe, and Waste.

    If you have spare money get Like Suicide and No Jesus Christ

    Stay away from Six Gun Quota, Walk Away From The Sun, Eyes of the Devil, and Careless Whisper (despite the good video)    … Expand

    the album has its high points and low points, listen to "Fake It" "FMLYHM", "Like Suicide", and "Waste". and skip "6 Gun Quota", "Eyes of a Devil", "Walk Away From The Sun" and "Rise Against This". half the album is the best Seether has ever done, half is some of there worst shit ever.

    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.

    With hardly a distraction or ballad in sight, it is their most direct and focused record yet, and quite possibly their most consistent.

    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.
