Is he living in the shadow of his brothers? Are they overachievers and maybe he feels less successful?
I would suggest spending some one on one time with him and pointing out his strengths.
When you say angry, do you mean "out of control" or is he just kind of sullen and angry a lot?
I would suggest therapy if he's an unhappy little boy. Sometimes having an objective person he can talk to can help.
My son was angry alot and we could never figure out why. Finally, things came to a head and we realized he was very very depressed and that's how he was expressing it.
