"Seasons" is the fourth studio album by American hard rock band Sevendust. The limited edition album comes with a DVD featuring "Black" (Live and Acoustic) and some other special features. "Seasons" was dedicated to the memory of Reginald Whiterspoon (Lajon's younger brother) and Dave Williams (Drowning Pool's original singer).

The album's lead single, "Enemy," had a music video which aired frequently on "Headbangers Ball" in late 2003. It features former professional wrestler Chyna in a comical yet violent street brawl against an armless man.

"Seasons" was, for a time, the band's last album with Clint Lowery as he left after it was recorded. However, as of March 2008, he has returned to Sevendust.

Morgan Rose had one draw back for Seasons about it being too Commerical because Sevendust lost Creative Control due to TVT Records thinking that Seasons should be suitable for Radio.

Reception

While many of Sevendust's newer fans considered this to be the band's best album to date due to the tightly structured songs and lyrics, many of the band's longtime hardcore fans consider this their least favorite album due to its lack of heaviness and watered-down guitar sound. This may be the result of working with producer Butch Walker who, as a former member of the band Marvelous Three and a current solo artist, is known for producing (and making) indie rock music. Despite this, Walker did, in fact, produce Sevendust's original demos before they were signed to TVT Records.
