Buy Seether – Breakdown [Single] From Amazon.com
Spacer Icon
Hearing Seether are named after the Veruca Salt song I was hoping for a slice of joyously buoyant indie-pop-perfection. Or, if not [given the anger and hatred encapsulated in the name], maybe some doom-laden gothic music laced with swirling melodies and self-loathing.

Seether offer neither.

Instead it is a return to formulaic mid-90s post-grunge. It is a well-worn path that 'Breakdown' brings absolutely nothing new to. If important questions to you include “why can’t I have more arena-friendly grunge on my hard drive?” or “who would be the ideal support band for Nickelback’s next tour?” then ‘Breakdown’ by Seether is for you. If those questions are irrelevant so is this retrograde and banal music.

“I’m so much more than meets the eye” sings Shaun Morgan.
Sadly, not.

The band photo says a thousand words, if 'Ha ha ha ha ha' repeated 200 times counts as a thousand words.

I was commenting on the photo via the medium of Pixies lyrics.

I like it you crazy bastard! Haha. Will you put together and send me a Pixies compilation please? For whatever reason I have never managed to check them out and would love to check out your personal best of compilation. Reckon you could do it for me?

Yeah that sounds like a challenge, no problem. It will have to wait until I have moved into the new place, as my CD's are currently in storage whilst I go to war with our new land lady.

Hmmm, this is gonna be a toughy - how to whittle it down to one disc.
