Disclaimer II is the second studio album by South African rock band Seether. It is a recompilation of the band's debut studio album, Disclaimer (2002). Although the 12 tracks from the original album are present, they were slightly remixed and differ from the original. Also, the majority of the remixed tracks feature additional lead guitar melodies with the addition of a permanent lead guitarist to the band's line-up prior to the release of the album. This is also the first Seether album to feature contributions from their current drummer John Humphrey. In Europe, the album includes four tracks more than its predecessor; in the United States, the album has eight extra tracks, some of which had been previously released on soundtracks, such as "Hang On," which had been featured on the 2003 Daredevil soundtrack and "Out of My Way," which had been featured on the soundtrack to the 2003 horror film Freddy vs. Jason,

WWE would also use "Out of My Way" as an entrace music for his Wrestler Zach Gowen and "Sold Me" as the theme song for his June Pay-Per-View WWE Bad Blood (2004), which was aired on June 13 (2 days before the release of the album)

A primary reason for the reworking of Disclaimer was the popularity of "Broken".^{[citation needed]} Originally a simple acoustic ballad, it was remade into an electric, duet version with vocals by Evanescence frontwoman Amy Lee, who was dating Seether frontman Shaun Morgan at the time. This new version was originally featured on the 2004 Punisher soundtrack and had an accompanying music video. Both the US and European releases include the new rendition of "Broken", and Disclaimer II subsequently became Seether's most successful album commercially. The song "Take Me Away" is an acoustic version of a track from their first independent album (originally as Saron Gas), Fragile (2000).
