Review about Silverchair SILVERCHAIR rocks! | Reviewer: Donna Bongalos
------ About artist/band Silverchair
i love Silverchair ever since I was a kid. you know, I was 10 YEARS OLD THEN when they released their first album "frogstomp", they are expressing their naivety. when they released their 2nd album "freak show"in 1997, it is more adventurous and feeling of anger than the first one. the third album "neon ballroom", expresses their depression. the fourth one "diorama", they are trying to escape from their personal demons particularly, DANIEL JOHNS. when they released their fifth album "young modern" after long years of hiatus, they are expressing their acceptance and I am very happy for them. It inspires me. Silverchair is MY INSPIRATION to pursue my life and my dreams. I am a LOYAL, BIG and NO.1 fan of Silverchair. I love them and their music. their music show their creativity as a band. not only that, they showed us how important is their relationship with each other as BEST OF FRIENDS. we all know guys that they have grown together in same place, they go together in the same school, they graduated from school together in the same year. wow! they showed us the true meaning of friendship. I love them. i wish i could see them personally to express how much I love them especially Daniel Johns. I will love them and their music forever....

a little insight... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Miss You Love performed by Silverchair
Personally we have analysed this text, Miss You Love by Silverchair, and we feel that it expresses a frustration for the music industry and the way it mooches all life and love away from performance and the soul of music.
In particular, the line
"Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people"
How is a child supposed to handle what comes across as almost teenage angst while his life being exposed and thoroughly over come by those wishing to milk a talented young man for money and treat him like a performing monkey.
This song totally juxteposes the idea of inspirational love through music, against the hatred and greed and pain associated with the music industry.
Has the art form of music been totally reduced to a game to access attention, regardless of quality?
The song truly communicates, in MY opinion, frustration and confusion which normally resounds in youth as they are fed what to think, contradicting how they feel. Example: "But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say"
Bit in plain sight, and maybe we're reading too much into the teenage angst thrust thoroughly through the song.
Is it possible that this song is another cliche response to what the industry has TOLD them to perform, or is it a rebellion against the command of the industry, is it the last straw?
Another example - Love Song by Sarah Bareilles
The song was against the music industry telling her what to write, what to sing, and yet it is/was so successful, and would have brought in alot of profit.
All we can ask is, are we finally at the point where we have lost songs such as this to an overrun industry which produces mainstream crap which none of us like?
Have we lost the soul of music, the love of music?
"I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back."
i'm one the solid fan of the band silverchair,shit!your awesome sounds really makes me stoned,my most fav.single of the band silverchair is? "freak" israel's son,suicidal dream,ana's song and learn to hate.i think their new album is kind of oldy songs.

------ About the song Without You performed by Silverchair
As a musician I respect Daniel Johns more than anyone I have ever seen perform. He's so brilliant and talented ENVY is the only reason anyone would say the Music sucks.
Without You makes my heart melt every single time I hear it.

------ About the song Faultline performed by Silverchair
Makes me sad thinking about the earthquake ever though i was not alive to experience it i've heard the stories seen the videos and as i walk around beaumont street i cant believe the disaster that took place there nearly 20 years ago.
I hope the 13 who died are resting in piece.
by the way its Unexpecting Brother.

------ About artist/band Silverchair
Silverchair is silverchair. That would have been great in the 90's but not now. they're too...fruity? yes, i suppose thats the word, fruity. when someone is compared to silverchair these days most people would turn their nose up and say, "ugh. no way!"
only if your a die-hard chamber-pop (pop music for stuck up posh people) fan would you say, "really? thanks!"
but thats just my opinion.
To me, this song is just plain genius. I never know this song is related to anorexia. But he commits so much feeling to this song when he sings. I can almost feel pain and anguish. Very brilliant song. He has a heart-melt voice and simply makes this song alive.

The way I see it the first album was naivety, the second one was anger, the third one was depression and the last one was escapism. Young Modern is all about acceptance - Daniel Johns
if you ever want one of the most colourful music experiences, listen to young modern. If you want to hear one of the greatest albums ever made due to the immense effort put in to it and the masterpiece result, then listen to Diorama. If you want to be a tool and be accepted by your friends or to create an cool and individual image about yourself (but its no that individual seeing as though everybody wants to be it) then listen to their first stuff.

whatever other people's opinions are, daniel johns is awesome. He is kind hearted, what can i say? he loves animals and as a vegan, that is such a powerful decision to make,. I love this band ever since, and will always love it.. Can't stop listening to without you, ana's song and miss you love.. =)
"Miss You Love" | Reviewer: retro_chic
------ About the song Miss You Love performed by Silverchair
I listened to this song many times and it has occured to me that maybe the song is not about missing a person loved but missing the feeling of being loved. What I mean is, he was goin through a very difficult time in his life (anorexia) and maybe that is what the song is about: he misses loving himself because the anorexia is not letting him... Or maybe I'm just reading to much into it!

Silverchair are an awesome band, I've loved their stuff for ages.
I think that their new stuff isn't bad, but its not as good as there old stuff.
even if u don't like their new stuff, u shouldn't be rippin on them, these guys are music legends, they have already earned respect.
The truth about this song | Reviewer: Ashley
------ About the song Ana's Song [open fire] performed by Silverchair
What many people don't realize and refuse to see is that anorexia takes over every part of your life. You refuse to let others see what you are dong, many go as far as bulemia as well to control the food intake. Once you have gone that far you hide, from everyone. The people who know you best will start questioning you about it. Anorexic's lie, its how we continue to do what we have to. It does not just affect women, it affects men as well. There's is a large wake up call. What Daniel Johns did was brave and it brought awareness to a much needed cause.
Anorexia is a disorder I have suffered from for 10 years. Even know after nearly dying once, being hospitalized a second time, I still have problems. I am now marrie and 24, my husband and I are trying to have a baby but can't because I can't let go of the anorexic habbits.
If you know or suspect someone you know may be anorexic do something about it. Get help, don't be ashamed to aske them, they will tell you know but you have to give them complete support otherwise you will watch that person die. Do Something!

------ About the song Mindreader performed by Silverchair
what a great song. proves silverchair havn't sold out, can still rock, and still rock hard, but proves that they can be creative towards it.
a brilliant version is on the Across the Great Dividence tour
fuck you | Reviewer: chris
------ About artist/band Silverchair
i_don't_give_a_shit and others who think Silverchair have sold out needs to fucken grow up, mature. Daniel Johns isn't a druggie, he is one of the best music talents that this country has ever produced, and Silverchair are one of the greatest bands that Australia has ever produced. You disgust me.
Their new album is stunning, it's got so much colour, and is so bright. So what he isn't thinking about killing himself or ghost are surrounding him or he isn't thinking about war and shit. Who cares. He's a happy man. Diorama and Young Modern are top albums, and it shits all over their previous stuff. And I watched the Silverchair live concert on Channel V and I thought it was average, but you should see their performance on the Great Dividence DVD, that's stunning. I don't see you singing or trying hard like him. Daniel Johns is someone to look up too.
arn't people aloud to evolve, grow up? the beatles were moptops then they experimented with drugs with amazing results, and came up with Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road. pink floyd did phsyidelic shit and they grew up and did the dark side of the moon. fucken get over it you low lifed shits. Daniel is still amazing and shits all over the When I'm Gone shit that Simple Plan and the American crap that we here these days. Silverchair and Powderfinger, they have passion, a drive, a purpose. Fuck off and go and listen to their suicidal shit and commit suicide you fuckheads bogans.
And corban, it is silverchair, because they wrote u fanny rash. and tayla your probably a lesbian.

Silverchair.
well i guess lots of people love their new stuff or they woudlnt have gotten number 2 in Triple J Hottest 100 the other day.
I personaly hate their new stuff. its weak.
it's totally different.
and i dont think that if you are a "true fan" you should like it. im a fan of their old stuff.. its part of the sountrack of my childhood. i remember watching Freak with my mum on Rage when i was like 7.
but yeah. their new stuff sucks, but thats just my opinion. they kind of have sold out. but who the fuck cares. either you like it, or you dont. maybe they are trying to cash in with more commercial sounding stuff, maybe its just a different decade with a different sound. they have grown up.
but i MUST say, that Daniel Johns' new plaitnum do is fucking rediculous and he sits there with a smug little grin with a fag out the corner of his mouth and a pair of ray bans and he just looks liek a pretentious tool.
i saw a Siverchair special on Chanel V last year. 1. they sounded crap live form what i could tell & 2. it saddened me to hear Daniel Johns say "i dont think we will ever go back to that grunge sound".
i also hear he likes to snort coke with frinds of mine in popular Sydney nightclubs and he doesnt mind Natalie snog other people ....just thought i might throw that one in for safe measure....
why the fuck am i even bothering to write here?
ugh get a life. who cares????
but uuuh.. good to see a good aussie rock band has stood the test of time. makes me proud to be from this awesome country. nice one guys..

I've loved Silverchair since I was a 5 year old rocker listening to them. I loved their style and how they grew with the years. I'm a loyal Chair fan, their music is as rox now as it was when i was wearing a barbie t-shirt and listening to them. They've grown as men, and as musicians.
Plus, now that Daniel and the wench have broken up he's mine >:)

------ About the song Tomorrow performed by Silverchair
This jam more than makes up for the many run of the mill metal Silverchair has put out and is worth the the price of this album alone. The bass, vocals, and lyrics of the two verses are just awesome and the grinding final minutes are classic Silverchair. I loved this one from the first listen and still do, kind of like many Hendrix tunes that you can listen to forever.
