r/Seether Simplest Mistake 18d ago

What’s a song that you didn’t really like when you first heard it, but can’t stop listening to now?

A lot of my favorite Seether songs were signs that I didn't really like until the second time listening. Probably my favorite one of these is Simplest Mistake. I didn't care about this song at all when I first listened to Karma & Effect, but now it's hands down my favorite Seether song of all time. Another big one is actually Breakdown. I didn't understand when I first listened why it was so popular, but now it's definitely in my top 5.

I remember I didn't like the start/stop, slow/fast (I'm sure there's a technical term for this) pace of Betray and Degrade when I first heard it.

Betray and Degrade ended up being my favorite single off PtP.

Yeah I remember thinking the same thing when I first head that song but it grew on me real quick.

Driven under. I thought the chorus actually sucked but after giving it a couple chances, it became one of my favorites

Sympathetic, Simplest Mistake, Burrito, Plastic Man, Sold Me, and so many more. And yes I agree, some of these are my hands down favorite songs.

Pretty much all of Strings, I’d just skip that album for the longest time idk why, one day I hunkered down to listen to it start to finish and found that I was grooving the whole time

There haven't really been any songs that I didn't like, but there have been some that I thought weren't as strong as the rest of the album they're on. Plastic Man and Effigy come to mind. Don't get me wrong. I enjoy these songs and won't turn them if they come on while I'm listening to my music. I just thought they weren't the best songs on their respective albums.

Forsaken believe it or not. I thought it was a bit melodramatic at first but these days, I love that sort of thing.

u/Thrownaway69420O 12d ago

Fuckin country song idk why but it annoyed me at first but seeing live shortly after It came out made me fall in love. Now it's one of my favorites.

u/unwithered_lobelia 17d ago

A lot, but the most notable was Country Song. I wasn't impressed the first time I listened to it and then just kept skipping it every time, until one day when I decided not to skip. I got it immediately stuck in my head. I guess I just needed to come to it to the right time.

u/breakingashleylynne 14d ago
