After two years of no new material from the South African post-grunge band (besides one single from their “Best Of” album in 2013), July 1 brought us Seether’s sixth studio album, “Isolate and Medicate”. I’ll just start with saying I love Seether. Along with Papa Roach and Three Days Grace, they were my very first concert. There isn’t a single song by the band I dislike. Most bands’ styles change over time; it’s just a fact, but Seether’s music has retained the same feel it has since 2002, without boring their fans. Like their past five albums, Seether executes a perfect mixture of hard rock tunes and beautiful ballads in “Isolate and Medicate”. I fell in absolute, unadulterated love with the single they released called “Words As Weapons,” and was not disappointed when the album was released. The opening song, “See You At The Bottom” kicks off the album with a hard rock tone that matches the style of Chevelle. The fourth track on the album, “My Disaster”, has bassline that will remind anyone of a Tool song. The whole album has influence from other hard rock bands of Seether’s time. “Isolate & Medicate” continues to maintain the sound that Seether has made their own.
