5.0 out of 5 stars An Already Solid Album Just Got Better., September 7, 2004

This review is from: Disclaimer II (Bonus DVD) (Audio CD)

"Disclaimer II" is a bit shameful. It is obvious this re-release of Seether's 2002 debut was put out not only to cash in on the buzz surrounding the re-make/collaboration of "Broken" (featuring new vocals and string arrangements by Amy Lee of Evanescence & frontman Shaun Morgan's girlfriend) that has been floating around the airwaves all spring/summer, but also to fill in the space where the band should be releasing a second album (of which, there are still no plans officially in place). Nevertheless, their label, Wind-Up, has put together an awesome deluxe package for us all to eat up at a reasonable price. In addition to the eight non-album tracks tacked on, we are treated to a bonus DVD which is the host of all of Seether's music videos ("Gasoline," "Fine Again," "Driven Under," "Broken"), a short "Making-Of" featurette for the "Broken" video, and a 30-minute concert that plays out Seether's best material. The original album (on here, the first 12 songs) are also re-mixed by Bob Marlette (Saliva, Ill Nino) and have a few noticeable differences from the original mixes -- especially on "Driven Under," which benefits from some beefier guitar tones in the chorus. The b-sides are a nice addition. You'll remember a few of them from soundtracks: The heavier "Out Of My Way" and "Hang On" appeared on the "Freddy Vs. Jason" and "Daredevil" soundtracks, respectively. The uncut version of "Sold Me" (from "The Punisher" soundtrack) is a nice touch, and it's kinda of cool to compare the two versions of "Broken" on the same disc (a lot of fans are split down the middle, I think they're both great). The rest of the songs are either completely new or just re-workings of old demos from when the band went by the name of Saron Gas, the highlights of this series being "Love Her" and "Cigarettes." As for the original album, it's got a nice mix of slower songs ("Fine Again," "Broken"), anthems ("Sympathetic," "69 Tea") and grinding hard-rockers ("Needles," "Pig"). If you liked the original, you should pick up this package that basically expands on the experience (even if it may be just a cheap cash-in). Plus, I get the feeling it's still gonna be a while before we hear new material from these guys...

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid, January 30, 2005

Is Disclaimer II worth it for the bonus songs and DVD? Absolutely. Of course, this CD comes with both the original Broken as well as the new one from The Punisher Soundtrack w/ Amy Lee. Surprisingly, the 8 bonus songs are all actually really good -- including Hang On from the Daredevil soundtrack, Out of My Way, Sold Me, and Got It Made.

The DVD includes 4 music videos as well as the making of the Broken video with interviews with Amy Lee and Seether. More importantly, the DVD gives you great concert footage of 8 songs including great performances of 69 Tea, Gasoline, Sympathetic, and the acoustic version of Broken. Also, the CD insert includes the lyrics. Good stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars IF I COULD GIVE IT 6 STARS I WOULD, July 2, 2004

I will first admit that I didn't purchase the original version of Disclaimer as I only got into Seether about 4 months ago. So after hearing that it was to be re-released with extra songs and a DVD I thought I would wait for that. Upon receiving this on the day of release, I stuck it straight into my CD player and cranked it up. Being a Nirvana fan, I can make some comparisons along the lines of they sound rather similair. For me, the best songs are Gasoline, Fine Again, Driven Under, Sympathetic and Broken (with Amy Lee). This is probably the first album that I own with which I have no alarms toward any song - they are all absolutely brilliant ! Now I suppose I shall wait until 2005 for the proper follow-up and if it is anything like Disclaimer (musically), then I can't wait. Also - I have heard a lot of people compare Seether to Staind. All I can say to that is that apart from 'Break The Cycle', Staind are yet to produce anything of any quality - whereas Seether have managed it with their first try and hopefully Seether's next album will be just as good.
