Silverchair is back with a new label and it sounds like a new look on life. Gone is the grinding grunge sound and here is the crisper, clearer, and more mature Silverchair where Neon Ballroom almost reached.
Strong:
“Tuna In The Brine” and “Luv Your Life” – Bigger sound that echoes in a way we haven’t heard from them before.
“Across The Night” – One of the simplest and best songs offered by Silverchair yet.
“The Greatest View” and “After All These Years” – Again nothing more powerful than a track that sucks you in on melody alone.
“Too Much Of Not Enough” – Rocks!
“World Upon Your Shoulders” – Deeper, and certainly a better shade of Silverchair.
In the middle:
“Without You” – This ballad is a bit flaccid.
“One Way Mule” – They want to prove they can still rock, well they can, but this track goes no where.
Weak:
Nothing.
Silverchair may now come off as sappy and too gentle after a career of anger and bittersweet rock. Perhaps I’m a sucker for the sound, but I prefer the more mature Silverchair. Enjoy.
