Free Music Review: Misnamed Album
Hit: 5 Stars

I don't know why this album is titled 'Silverchair, The Best Of, Volume 1'. It doesn't contain their best music, and are we to assume there will be more volumes? If so, I hope they aren't like this one. I've heard the band wasn't even involved in the decision to release this album, and disapproved. Here is a track-by-track breakdown:

(1) Anthem for the Year 2000 - A single from their third album, Neon Ballroom.
(2) Freak - A single from their second album, Freak Show.
(3) Ana's Song (Open Fire) - A single from their third album, Neon Ballroom.
(4) Emotion Sickness - Never released as a single, as far as I know. A great song though, from Neon Ballroom.
(5) Israel's Son - A single from their first album, Frogstomp.
(6) Tomorrow - A single from their first album, Frogstomp.
(7) Cemetery - A single from their second album, Freak Show.
(8) The Door - A single from their second album, Freak Show.
(9) Miss You Love - A single from their third album, Neon Ballroom.
(10) Abuse Me - A single from their second album, Freak Show.
(11) Pure Massacre - A single from their first album, Frogstomp.
(12) Untitled - This song was on the soundtrack to the wretched movie Godzilla. Typical Silverchair, alternating between softer melodic parts and extremely heavy parts.
(13) New Race - A fast catchy punk song, and a cover from another band. Not on any of their albums. I like the chorus 'Yeah-eah, Ha! I'm gonna knock you out!'
(14) Trash - A track that was left off Neon Ballroom, probably because it is very similar to the song Spawn Again, with Daniel Johns screaming the whole song through. I like it though.
(15) Ana's Song (Open Fire) (Acoustic Remix) - Just an acoustic version of track #3.
(16) Madman - A different version than the track called Madman on Frogstomp. This one has vocals, which they apparently decided to do without on the album. A really cool song.
(17) Blind - One of the best songs I've heard by them, I can't believe this wasn't on one of their albums.
(18) Punk Song #2 - A fast punk song that was left off of Freak Show.
(19) Wasted/Fix Me - These songs are originally by punk band Black Flag.
(20) Minor Threat - Yet another punk song, this song is by the band Minor Threat.
(21) Freak (Remix for us Rejects) - An interesting remix of the song Freak.

Overall, this is a good album for a Silverchair fan, but of course any fan already has the first 11 tracks at least. There is another album called Rarities which has the last ten tracks on it. I don't know why two different albums were made with these same tracks.

If this was really a 'Best Of' CD, then the rare tracks don't make sense to include, because most people haven't heard any of them before. This seems more like a release with their singles plus some rare stuff to lure fans to buy it. A weird combination. The song Emotion Sickness is the only exception, being a song that really is one of their best and it wasn't a single. An actual 'Best Of' CD, comprising tracks from their first three albums, would have to include more tracks that weren't released as singles but were really great (like Shade, Slave, and Petrol & Chlorine), and not the rare songs.

If you want to really hear Silverchair's best material, then get their latest album, Diorama.
