Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces is the fourth studio album by South African Post-grunge/Alternative metal band Seether. The album was released in South Africa and Switzerland on 19 October 2007, and released worldwide on 23 October 2007.

Contents

The cover artwork was designed by David Ho, the same artist who designed the Vicious Delicious cover for Infected Mushroom. The covers apparently display the same character: Candice the Ghost.

Three singles, "Fake It", "Rise Above This" and "Breakdown" have been released from the album with all three being top 10 singles, the former two reaching the top position on several Billboard charts, despite generally negative reviews from critics, scoring a 39 out of 100 on Metacritic. The album was reissued in 2009, featuring a fourth single, a cover of George Michael's "Careless Whisper", as the final single from the album. It is the first Seether album to reach gold status in their home country, South Africa.

Track listing

  • "Quirk" is a demo version of "Fake It" & was apparently recorded in Morgan's bedroom.
  • Later versions of the album, pressed after the release of "Careless Whisper", were released with tracks 13 & 14 added on.

  • Album information

    The band updated both their official web page and Myspace on 23 August 2007, with the new single, "Fake It", being uploaded to both. The band had this to say on their official webpage:

    In the lower right corner where the album title appears, one can faintly see a Chinese symbol overwritten by the letters of the title. The symbol shown is 美, the Chinese character for the word "beauty", or "America".

    Commercial performance

    The album debuted at number nine on the Billboard 200 chart in the US with 56,900 copies moved in its first week, and ended up being certified Gold for shipping 500,000 copies. Seether claimed their first South African Music Award in the category "Best Rock: English" for Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces.
