Seether, The Surface Seems So Far Review

by Seamus Fitzpatrick

Seether’s latest album, The Surface Seems So Far, dropped in September 2024, continuing their reign as one of the most successful hard rock bands on the scene today. With more than 20 years of chart-topping albums, including platinum and gold records, Seether shows no signs of slowing down. This album is blatantly aggressive, kicking off with the hard-hitting track “Judas Mind.” Full of raw energy with heavy, intense guitar riffs, hard-driving bass and drums, and outstanding singing by frontman Shaun Morgan. The album also takes moments to slow down with melancholic tracks like “Regret,” giving listeners a blend of power and vulnerability.

From the pulsating drive of “Lost All Control” to the dynamic neo-grunge sound of “Same Mistakes,” Seether delivers on their ability to evolve without straying from their core sound. Morgan’s vocals are just as gritty and gripping as ever, elevating songs like “Dead On The Vine” and “Paint The World” to intense levels. The album feels charged with creative energy, reflecting themes of internal struggle, anger, and reflection.

Seether sticks to what they do best on this album—offering no unnecessary detours or experiments. The band remains faithful to their post-grunge roots while introducing subtle atmospheric touches that make tracks like “Illusion” stand out. Fans of the early 2000s rock scene will feel right at home with The Surface Seems So Far, a record that packs a punch while staying grounded in the band’s iconic sound.

With this album, Seether brings their aggressive sound to deliver a rock-solid collection of tracks that satisfy loyal fans and newcomers. The Surface Seems So Far is a powerful addition to their already impressive catalog; don’t miss this one. That’s the short of it?
