Free Music Notes for Young Modern
Free Music Review: 4-1/2 stars -- Have a seat
Hit: 4 Stars
Like it or not, Silverchair might be eternally defined by "Tomorrow", a song that pretty much owned the rock charts back in 1995 (not bad considering the guys were only fifteen when it was released). But if you have been following the band since then, you'll know that Daniel and the boys have been slowly changing their sound with each coming album. And their latest, Young Modern, might be their best album yet.
I probably wouldn't have even known this album existed had it not been for the VH1 favorite "Straight Lines", but I'm sure glad I found out about it. About the only grunge-ish songs you'll still find are "Young Modern Station" and "Mind Reader", which are still good, but there are other great songs like "Reflections of a Sound" and "Waiting All Day". The storyteller "The Man That Knew Too Much" is quite interesting, as is the medley "Those Thieving Birds".
The only song I find myself skipping is "If You Keep Losing Sleep" (sorry; I tried my best to like that song). If you're only a fan of the Frogstomp-era Silverchair, then you probably won't like this album. But while I think the editorial reviewer is going a little too far when he's comparing Silverchair to Queen and AC/DC, Young Modern still proves that although they have never really gotten a lot of mainstream appeal, they still know how to make great music. Pick it up.

With front man Daniel Johns at the helm, Silverchair refuses to do the same thing twice. When the Australian trio released their first album, Frogstomp, in 1995, they were merely 15 years old. Each new album since has been a dramatic departure from the last, and the band eventually shed their sticky grunge image with 2002's Diorama. A returning cast of producer Nick Launay (INXS, Talking Heads), mixer David Bottrill (Tool, Muse), and legendary composer Van Dyke Parks (U2, Beach Boys) coddled Young Modern--yet another completely different version of Silverchair. The lyrics are pensive, the melodies cathartic, and the music is distinctly refined. Having already proven his epic vocal ability, Johns appeals to more creativity and experimentation this time around. He retains his singing style, but at times he is reminiscent of AC/DC's Brian Johnson, at others of the Beach Boys' Brian Wilson. Listeners will be shocked to learn that the upbeat opening track, "Young Modern Station," is the heaviest rock song on the record. "Straight Lines" is a celebratory pop f?te, and "If You Keep Losing Sleep" makes Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" sound almost docile. Van Dyke Parks's renowned talent shines on the tracks with orchestral arrangements like "All Across the World" and the three-part epic "Those Thieving Birds." The entire album is seamless and offers new facets with each listen. Once again, Silverchair has clearly taken another giant step forward. --Jordan ThompsonSilverchair are Australia's most successful rock band with five #1 albums and global sales of over 6 million CDs. Since exploding onto the alternative rock scene as teens in the mid-90s, Silverchair have grown up into a much more eclectic and melodic band. They've built a large and passionate fan base and have garnered high regard among critics and peers that once seemed unlikely. "Young Modern" is the fastest selling album of the band's career in their homeland - propelled by the #1 hit single "Straight Lines". It also features orchestral arrangements by legendary Beach Boys collaborator Van Dyke Parks. Look for Silverchair on a North American summer tour that includes a Lollapalooza appearance alongside acclaimed artists Arcade Fire and Bright Eyes.
