Apart from that they aren't anything special but i'd go 'older era' to keep on topic Title: Re: Silverchair, New or old? Post by: jimmythegent on February 20, 2005, 07:45:31 PM Their early stuff was very derivatve of the Seattle sound. In recent times I think they've started to stretch out a bit - I think Daniel Johns is pretty talented but the band have always collectively produced mediocre albums that don't add up to more than the sum of their parts

Title: Re: Silverchair, New or old? Post by: Neemo on January 11, 2006, 09:00:30 AM I actually Just pulled out some Silverchair after a few years and am loving it!!!! So i decided to look up current info on them. I didn't realize that they had an album after Neon Ballroom.
What's wrong with Diorama? how is Daniel's guitar work on it? I looked for it but haven't found it yet for sale here in Canada, was it only released in Australia? Can someone give me a review of the album please. Title: Re: Silverchair, New or old? Post by: badapple81 on January 11, 2006, 05:30:45 PM Diorama is an experimental album with strings etc backing most songs.
Very successful and big album here in Australia. Johns couldn't tour though when it came out as he became ill, so although it was big here, it really could of been bigger. I used to like Frogstomp when I was younger. I never got into their second album Freakshow. Neon Ballroom and Diorama are both a little above average albums. They are reuniting after a break (which brought awful solo stuff from Johns with Paul Mac), with some love shows in March/April at some festivals, then going to write a new album. Title: Re: Silverchair, New or old? Post by: Neemo on January 11, 2006, 09:10:38 PM Thanks gunnerdownunder. so is Diorama worthy to buy? After listening to Frogstomp, Freakshow and Neon Ballroom I'm pretty happy with their sound and the progression that the music takes from album to album.
Title: Re: Silverchair, New or old? Post by: badapple81 on January 12, 2006, 01:56:15 AM Yeah certainly worth a listen Neemo.
Perhaps you could have a listen to the previews on itunes? Title: Re: Silverchair, New or old? Post by: Queen of Everything on February 04, 2006, 03:45:03 AM I Love them all!! Mainly because I am Aussie and therefore Bias towards any Aussie Bands. But I think they are great. I used to have the biggest crush on the drummer?! :P But Daniel Johns is awesome aswell. : ok:
There is a video on the board somewhere of silverchair at rir commenting on GNR but the audience wasn't particuly interested! >:( Title: Re: Silverchair, New or old? Post by: Neemo on February 04, 2006, 04:03:39 PM I managed to find the newst album used for $7 so i bought it. Pretty experimental for sure. I mean the song writing has progressed significantly through their whole catalogue but Diorama just seems like its gonna let loose but it never reaches that point. I'd have to say that Freaks is the best album by Silverchair
