Silverchair

Young Modern

            Silverchair’s latest release “Young Modern” is a silver medalist at best. The Aussi band is just missing that special element this time around. There are many songs that are close to exploding, but the fuse just burns out. It’s great for a band to experiment with their song, but they also need to stay with their roots. This album hit upon many different sounds. They even try a little country with the song “Low.” They also use many sound effects that distracted me from the juicy stuff. The album has many spots of musical talent and the lyrics are well thought out. The album just needs that add spice that Prego doesn’t need. I will say this though; if someone can’t find at least one track on this album that they like someone needs to pick a different genre to listen to, perhaps rap. This is at least one song on this album for everyone.
