"Remedy" opened the Karma and Effect campaign for Seether in 2005, the South African band's lead single and the second song on the album, and it's alternative metal with the corners sanded just enough: a grinding riff, a big bruised chorus, and Shaun Morgan, who wrote it alone, growling his way up to a howl. Dale Stewart plays bass and sings backup, John Humphrey pounds the kit, and Patrick Callahan doubles up on guitar with Morgan. Bob Marlette produced and recorded it; Rich Costey mixed.
It gave Seether their first trip to the top of the Mainstream Rock chart, where it lost and won back the number-one spot for eight weeks in all and hung around for 52 weeks. Dean Karr's video puts the band on a beached ship above contest-winning fans in the shallows, with Morgan as a sinister carnival barker whose passengers come out the other end as skeletons.
