Angst mongers are likely licking their chops over the prospect of Seether's new album. After all, Shaun Morgan, who leads this trio of South African expatriates, has been through the ringer in the past 18 months, with a public breakup with girlfriend Amy Lee (who vented her feelings on much of Evanescence's "The Open Door") and a stint in rehab counted among his struggles. So Morgan theoretically had a few issues of his own to work out in song, and he doesn't disappoint. The singer/ guitarist claims that only "Breakdown" deals with Lee, but you can't help but figure she crossed his mind while writing such fury-filled diatribes as "FMLYHM" and the single "Fake It." Regardless of the inspirations, 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.—Gary Graff
