The Problem with Me is the second album by American indie rock band Seam. It was released in 1993 through Touch and Go Records.

Critical reception

Magnet wrote: "Nine blissfully hypnotic songs circled Park's sadness and anger, building up tension and releasing it in a crash of restrained guitars and half-shouted vocals." Spin called the album "completely enveloping—a soft swirl of mood music with echoes of loneliness and confusion."

Legacy

Andrew Earles, in Gimme Indie Rock: 500 Essential American Underground Rock Albums 1981–1996, wrote that the album "would be hugely influential on the first wave of '90s emo bands and related practitioners of semi-popular indie rock" throughout the rest of the decade.
