New Silverchair

[Spruce Goose]

Anyone have Diarama?
I was listening to it today at work. It sounds pretty cool, I might grab a copy. I love the first song.
In my opinions, Silverchair have grwon tremendously as a band. They are much more capable songwriters, and performers now than what they were when they did Frogstomp.

I also looked in the booklet, and was surprised to see just how much Daniel Johns does in that band. He plays geetar, sings, harpsicord, piano....... he wrote all of the songs, music and lyrics, plus he co-produced the album.

Saw them on Rove Live tonight, and your right, they really have progressed as song writers. I don't mind some of their stuff, but I doubt I will pick up their new album (too much other good shit on my list ).

BLOODY silverchair They have turned into f**king Crowded House and are too busy being "artists" now to rock.....

Ill still get the new album, but I dont have very high hopes for it. I think they peaked with Freakshow personally

 

[TinMan666]

I agree. Was never a fan of their older stuff, but I'm very impressed by the first single of the new album.

They did a good job on Rove last night.

 

[spawn]

I like their new stuff...... but I secretly long for the angsty heavy rock of days past

 

[Spruce Goose]

Bullshit Spawn. You are now just agreeing with the general consensus...........................

Why dont you go jump on some other band wagons!!!

 

[spawn]

Its true, the first single is good, I didnt like it at first, but have grown to appreciate it, I havent heard the album yet (getting it Friday) but I dont think its going to be rocky and it SHOULD be, they can be "artists" when they are 50, you should rock while you are young, just ask Metallica! Silverchair are ahead of schedule dammit!

Maybe they are slowing up Because whatshisname the singer has some Viral arthritis in his hands..apprently contracted it when he had Anorexia. That would make ya slow down a bit you couldn't play as good i would think??

Hello Moony!

 

[Spruce Goose]

You know Moony, I thought the same thing about Daniel Johns being on the verge of a musical genious. He is only my bloody age, and look at what he has accomplished!
I could believe when I read the liner notes from the new album. He does everything! And he will continue to get better!

If you aint going to buy the album, see if you can download the song "Across the Night". Its the first song on the album. His voice sounds GREAT on that track. When he sings the chorus "Across the night..... Across the NIGGHHT", he really shines. Beatiful orchestrations too. It kinda has a funky jazzy bluesy symphony feel to it!

 

[spawn]

I always thought he was a musical genius, ive got all their albums (2 copies of Neon Ballroom too ) all their singles and some bootlegs as well

Silverchair rule

 

[Goreripper]

Do they still spell their name 'silverchair' with a small 's'?

 

[Southy]

yes they spell it with a small 's' could tell ya the story behind it but i couldn't be bothered

 

[Lord Tim]

I agree with Tania, Daniel's range is pretty weak when he goes for the higher notes...

But then I'm not a fan of silverchair at all, I think they're rubbish!

 

[spawn]

Hmm well im listening to the cd now, and he does that stupid high voice a lot....

Methinks ill be ranting and bitching SEVERELY about this album if it doesnt improve from track 5 onwards...... Just warning you lot, prepare yourself, for Spawny could get nasty....

[Lord Tim]

Didn't get any better, huh?

 

[Ralphe]

It wont be on my shopping list.I have the first 2 CD's adn quite enjoy them(especially the first one) but their performance at this years BiGDayOut was just boring!They used to be great live several years ago(i probably saw them about 6 times when they and the first 2 CD's and they were excellent every single time.i wouldn't go see them play live again

Hi Moonchild!

 

[spawn]

Ralphe you nailed it, they used to rule the stage live, but since Neon Ballroom (which is a great album) they havent been the same

Tim: You shall see my rant on this album soon enough, trust me
