Hey guys! Silverchair is actually favorite band, been a follower since Frogstomp. I disagree about the "Metrosexual" term, its definitely a wrong word to describe the band.
I love the new stuff, as well as the old stuff. But I gotta say Diorama is still my favorite album, and I find that album to be highly underrated since they weren't able to promote it properly because of Daniel's reactive arthritis a few years back. I gotta admit though, I've been playing Young Modern to my ears since I got a copy of the album back in April.
If you've been a real follower of the band you'd actually appreciate them even more, being dynamic and always stepping up their music to a whole new level. I believe that they should be a good influence to bands who want to continue growing musically.
Anyway, nice to see some discussions about the band here. Grab a copy of Young Modern and see how diverse the album is!
Hey, I'm also hoping to know more fans around here!
