Seasons (w/ Bonus DVD) Reviews:
This may be where Sevendust peaked.
2008-12-01 - I have the benefit of writing this review after three follow up CD's from Sevendust. Since the release of Seasons Sevendust have released Next, Alpha, and Chapter 7. Looking back, I raise the argument that this is Sevendust's finest album, and possibly the best they will ever write.

The major difference in the follow up CD's could be the change in songwriter/guitarist Clint Lowery. Since he left there seems to be something missing. Sevendust kind of tried to do the brutal thing, they tried to do the pop-rock thing, but none of their albums have the depth and heart of Seasons. Seasons is raw, driving, and has lush vocal harmonies that only Clint brought to the band.

The 3 cd's before Seasons seem to be building up to this peak of songwriting. The self-titled album and Home show off some groundbreaking material, but they seemed to have difficulty finishing the albums, some songs possibly could've been excluded all together. But in their own right they are both strong albums. That brings me to Animosity. This is easily my second favorite album from Sevendust. The songs are tight and catchy, but I still argue that Season's was stronger with the heavier guitars and some great lyrics.

With all that said, I believe that if you are looking for a Sevendust album to purchase this would be the best one to go with. I think that Sevendust peaked here, and the releases after this CD just aren't up to par.

Here's where I hold out hope - Clint Lowery rejoined Sevendust, so lets hope they pick up on their next album where Clint left off with Seasons.



Excellent Fourth Effort by Alternative Metal Kings
2007-12-21 - 7Dust hits another one out of the park with "Seasons", a continuation of the sound they began to shift to in there last album, "Animosity". While I believe "Animosity" to be their best album from front to back, this one is a worthy follow-up and a solid addition to any heavy music collection. There are heavy-hitting, mosh-worthy songs like "Enemy" and "Face to Face", and there are great rockers like "Seasons" and "Disease", and you can also find mellow ballads like "Skeleton Song." Whatever side of 7Dust you prefer, there is something for you. If you're like me, you'll like everything about it.
The great thing about this cd is the emotion and energy put into each song. It is full of great hooks, excellent vocals by Lajon, and the production is perfect.
I give it 4/5 stars, because despite it being a great cd, they have done better before.

Mellow (at least for Sevendust)
2007-11-09 - Sevendust's 4th full effort, "Seasons", is an excellent record, however it sounds softer and more superficial than any of their other releases to date. The only real traditional sounding Sevendust songs on the album seem to be "Disease", "Enemy", and "Face to Face". "Seperate" and "Suffocate" both start out firing on all clyinders, but quickly lighten up and actually have very lengthy choruses, driven by melody. This is not a bad thing, as Sevendust has always used a degree of melody in their music; plus Lajon Witherspoon has one of the better singing voices in this genre. It is, however, a step away from the angst-ridden overtones of their first three records. "Seasons", "Honesty", "Disgrace", and "Broken Down" are all very well written, basic rock songs that are catchy and don't have too much of an edge. "Skeleton Song" is an acoustic track which one might come to expect from a typical Sevendust record.

For the Sevendust fan who grew up on their fierce, full fledged hard-rock albums, there may be some dissappointment. But if you look a little deeper, you might realize that Sevendust have really matured; they wrote some excellent songs, but left the metal riffs behind. Most hard rock bands would have problems trying to add more melody to their music.

This album dominates
2007-08-05 - I must admit LJ's voice did it for me on this one. This guy has talent. Enemy and Broken Down are my two favorite tracks on this album. I have all of Sevendust's albums and this is their best work. If you're more into melodic beats with plenty of heavy guitar riffs this is the album for you. LJ really lets loose on the song Disgrace. He puts a lot of emotion into his songs, thats one thing i like about this album. Forget all this talk about nu-metal this and nu-metal that. They have a style of their own and that's all i gotta say.....

good work
2007-03-20 - this is a great cd. "Skeleton Song" has made my personal top 50 list of all time greatest songs.
The new album "ALPHA" is a return to the harder side, and it is great as well.
