Arguably, each album released by Silverchair has been an improvement on the last, or at least a marked change in direction. It is a natural progression for a band to evolve away from its early influences, and in this instance the world has listened to the boys become men.

1. Silverchair Young Modern Station

As major songwriter Daniel Johns' teenage angst turned into youthful enthusiasm and experimentation, there has been a distinct maturity in the band's songwriting and production. Gone are the heavy Sabbath riffs, the lazy adolescent poetry, and Ben Gillies trying to invoke Bonham or Moon.

In their place are catchy melodic hooks, inspired lyrical themes, and stunning string arrangements. This album is the pinnacle of the band's fascinating development. Titled after Van Dyke Parks' nickname for Johns during their time together working on 2002's Diorama, Young Modern is a highly ambitious work that happily jumps from glam rock to sweeping orchestral pastiches and almost everywhere in between. Once the opening sonic aural frenzy of 'Young Modern Station' effortlessly segues into the instant rock classic (and Aussie number one hit) 'Straight Lines,' there is an overwhelming feeling that all bets are off - there has never been a Silverchair album like this. Diorama and 1998's Neon Ballroom offered a few musical surprises, but ultimately strayed into the familiar grunge-tinged formula that heavily peppered the band's first two long-players. You can hear in Johns' vocal performances a playfulness and energy that never dared show itself in previous works. There can be no doubt that his eclectic 2004 side project release with renowned DJ, remixer, and keyboard player Paul Mac as the Dissociatives opened Johns' musical landscapes wide open, and his vocals on this album are versatile enough to fit into each genre jump.

Another contributing factor to the change of the band with this album is Julian Hamilton, of the Sydney duo the Presets, who appears on four of the 11 tracks as a co-writer (the last two Silverchair albums were completely written by Johns). Young Modern made history in the Australian music charts by becoming the fifth straight album by an Australian act to debut at the number one spot. Silverchair are also the only Australian act to achieve five number one albums, eclipsing native heavyweights INXS, Midnight Oil, and Cold Chisel. Clayton Bolger.

McDonald's lawyer cited the lyrics 'Hate is what I feel for you/I want you to know that I want you dead' which were 'almost a script. They're relevant to everything that happened'.

The band's manager, Watson, issued a statement that they did not condone nor intend any such acts of violence. Prosecutors rejected the defence case and convinced the jury that the murder was committed to 'steal money and belongings and run off to California.'

It was released in March 1999 and peaked at number-one in Australia. McFarlane said, 'As well as being the band's best album to date, it was universally acknowledged as one of the best albums of the year.' The band originally intended to take a 12-month-break, but in the end decided to devote their time to making music. Neon Ballroom provided three Australian top 20 singles: ', ' and '; a fourth single, 'Paint Pastel Princess', did not reach the top 50.

Johns noted that the lyrics to 'Ana's Song (Open Fire)' dealt with his disorder, where he would 'eat what he needed. To stay awake.' He revealed that his eating problems developed from the time of Freak Show and when Neon Ballroom was written he 'hated music, really everything about it', but felt that he 'couldn't stop doing it; I felt like a slave to it.' Johns sought therapy and medication but felt 'It's easier for me to express it through music and lyrics'.Silverchair added an auxiliary keyboardist, Sam Holloway (ex-), for the Neon Ballroom Tour.

The US leg had the group playing with and Red Hot Chili Peppers, while Silverchair's tour of UK and European had as the support act. Rolling Stone's Neva Chonin attributed their chart success to the album's more 'mature' sound.

In November 2000, after the group had left the label, Sony issued without the band's involvement. Johns disavowed the compilation, 'We thought about putting out ads in the street press to make people aware that we weren't endorsing it, but that would have blown the whole thing out of proportion. If people want to buy it, they can buy it but I wouldn't buy it if I was a silverchair fan.' Diorama (2001–2002).

The album name means 'a world within a world'. Most tracks came from Johns' new-found method of writing material on a piano, a technique he developed during the band's break after Neon Ballroom.In order to complete the vision for Diorama, several other musicians contributed to the album, including, who provided orchestral arrangements to 'Tuna in the Brine', ', and '.

(from ) and (from Midnight Oil) both on piano also collaborated with the band. While recording Diorama, Johns referred to himself as an artist, rather than simply being in a 'rock band'.

As a result of WaveAid the band decided to resume working together.

Gillies explained the band's reunion as due to a special 'chemistry' between band members, telling, 'It only took us 15 years, but recently we've realised, 'We've really got something special and we should just go for it.' ' Return from hiatus (2006–2010). Silverchair performing on the in September 2007.After performing at Wave Aid, Silverchair reunited and by late 2005 began preparations for their next studio album,.

No release date was set, but the band uploaded in-studio videos of them working on several tracks to their official website. In December, Johns called in to Triple J's breakfast show, Robbie, Marieke and The Doctor, and discussed the band's new album which they were working on in Newcastle. He told them 'the main difference is there's a lot of experimentation with instruments and synths. I think there's only guitar on four songs out of fifty so far,' but added the new material is 'surprisingly rocky given there's no guitar.' In April 2010, via the band's website, Joannou announced that they would perform two new songs called '16' and 'Machina Collecta' at May's Groovin the Moo festival.

He said work was progressing well and confirmed there was, as yet, no title for the proposed album and that they were simply referring to it as Album No. 6. The final concert of the festival was at on 15 May. By year's end, work on the album had stopped as each member pursued other interests. 'Indefinite hibernation' (2011–present) On 25 May 2011, Silverchair announced an indefinite hiatus:We formed Silverchair nearly 20 years ago when we were just 12 years old. Today we stand by the same rules now as we did back then. If the band stops being fun and if it's no longer fulfilling creatively, then we need to stop. Despite our best efforts over the last year or so, it's become increasingly clear that the spark simply isn't there between the three of us at the moment.

Therefore after much soul searching we wanted to let you know that we're putting Silverchair into 'indefinite hibernation' and we've decided to each do our own thing for the foreseeable future. — Daniel, Ben and Chris, chairpage.com (Silverchair Official Website), 25 May 2011.Sydney Morning Herald 's music writer, said the band's use of 'indefinite hibernation' was a way to soften the blow of the group's break-up for fans; he expected future reunions and performances for worthy causes.

Gillies has said that there are plans to release a new Silverchair album, which was almost finished before the hiatus. Musical style. 'Straight Lines', ARIA's 2007 Song of the Year, was described as an 'instant rock classic' by Allmusic's Clayton Bolger asserting Young Modern was drastically different from the straight-forward on early albums, and the 'few musical surprises' on Neon Ballroom and Diorama.Problems playing this file? See.Silverchair are generally classified as an and band, although their loyalty to specific genres has changed as they have matured.

Much of the band's early grunge and post-grunge work was inspired by Nirvana,. According to Australian rock music historian, ' frogstomp captured the tempo of the times with its mix of Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Bush post-grunge noise and teenage lyrical angst.' In their early years the perceived stylistic similarities led to Silverchair being derisively dubbed as 'Silverhighchair', 'not Soundgarden but Kindergarden' or 'Nirvana in Pyjamas' by the Australian media. The latter is a sarcastic conflated reference to the band's youth and the popular Australian children's TV series. McFarlane stated ' Freak Show and tracks like 'Freak' were firmly in Nirvana territory with a hint of Led Zeppelin's Eastern mysticism'. Gillies noted that the band were inspired by the, as well as and, and were highly impressionable in their youth. Johns admitted that 'We were always influenced a lot by Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin it just so happened that we weren't very good at playing that style of music.

So we were put in the whole grunge category because it was such a garage-y, heavy music term.' Australian rock music journalist felt that Johns 'had never intended to use his problems for inspiration, but in the end the music was the best way to unburden himself.

'Neon Ballroom' took six months to record. The album's passion and musical sophistication proved to the world that silverchair were a force to be reckoned with'. According to, by three fellow journalists, and, Neon Ballroom 's lead-in track, 'Emotion Sickness', described Johns' life in the 1990s and 'addressed his desire to move beyond the imitative sounds of Silverchair's first two albums. And create something new and original'. 'Ana's Song (Open Fire)' directly focussed on his eating disorder; 'it became a hit all over the world and opened up for discussion the fact that males could also be affected by anorexia.' Allmusic's felt Diorama 'was a shockingly creative and impressive step forward that showed the band shedding its grunge past and adding horns, strings, and mature lyrics to its arsenal.' Fellow Allmusic reviewer Bradley Torreano noted that 'they somehow kept going and kept improving.

Silverchair has grown up and put together a fine mix of orchestral pop and rock on Diorama.' Bernard Zuel described how the Diorama concert tour marked a move from hard rock towards: 'they stepped out of the arenas and barns and 'got classy'.

Finally having admitted to harbouring artistic ambition (a very un-Australian band thing to do), they've proved they have the ability'. Silverchair on stage at the 2008In writing Young Modern, Johns tried to make the music sound very simple, despite a complex musical structure. The lyrics were written after the music was created, sometimes as late as the day of recording. As Johns dreads writing lyrics, he suggested that the band could produce an instrumental album at some stage in the future.

Johns is the band's primary songwriter, and notes that while Joannou and Gillies do not have significant influence on what he writes, they are key to the band's overall sound. For that album, Hamilton co-wrote four songs with Johns including the APRA Award-winning 'Straight Lines'.

Joannou believed that Young Modern was simpler than Diorama but 'still as complex underneath with simple pop song elements'. He said that much of the band's success resulted from trying to push themselves harder in recording and writing. Self-producing has allowed the band to do so without the pressures of a record label.Gillies notes that Silverchair will often 'run the risk of losing fans' with their work, and this was evident in the changes in musical direction in Diorama and Young Modern.

However, he described this as a good thing, describing the fact 'that we haven't been pigeonholed, and people really don't know what to expect' as one of the attractive elements of the band. Despite the ups and downs of success at a young age, Gillies says the band 'appreciate what we've achieved and what we've got' in their careers. The band have received six with Johns winning three songwriting awards at the. Reception Frogstomp was described as similar to Nirvana and Pearl Jam; Erlewine noted that it followed in 'the alternative rock tradition' of those bands. Erlewine also stated that 'their songwriting abilities aren't as strong' as those of their peers. However, claimed that the band had risen above their peers, applauding Johns' 'ragged vocals'. Journalist Nue Te Koha praised Frogstomp for 'breaking the drought of Australian music making an impact overseas'.

However, he felt 'It is highly debatable whether the three teens have gone to the world with a new sound or something identifiably Australian. Silverchair's image and sound are blatantly.

Nirvana meets Pearl Jam'. Nimmervoll disputed Te Koha's view, 'It's not original, it's not Australian. It's just as well Britain didn't say the same thing when The Beatles reinvented American R&B'.Freak Show saw the band show more of their own musical style, rather than copying others, and thus received more praise for its songwriting than its predecessor. 's Sandy Masuo described the lyrics as 'moving' and 'emotional'. Johns' vocal delivery was complemented: his 'bittersweet, crackly voice tops the ample power chordage.

he hits shivery, emotional notes that convey both sweet idealism and disappointment'. Zuel felt that with this album, the band 'have outgrown the jokes, predictions and their own understated teenage ambitions to find they have become (gasp!) career musicians.' In 100 Best Australian Albums (2010) their third album, Neon Ballroom, was placed at No. 25 according to its authors. Approved of the further advancement in Neon Ballroom, commenting on 'plush strings on these adult arrangements'. There were once again significant advancements in songwriting; Johns was described as 'furious, motivated, and all grown up'. However, Rolling Stone said the album seemed confused, commenting that Silverchair 'can't decide what they want to do' with their music.

Meanwhile, Diorama was seen as an extension of the band's originality, with its 'heavy orchestration, unpredictable melodic shifts and a whimsical pop sensibility'. According to ' Nikki Tranter, the album stood out in an otherwise dull Australian music market.Allmusic's Clayton Bolger described Young Modern as an improvement by the band, praising 'catchy melodic hooks, inspired lyrical themes, and stunning string arrangements'.

He claimed the album was the pinnacle of the band's development. PopMatters' Nick Pearson saw the opposite, claiming that 'once you reach the level of intellectual maturity where you can tell the difference between cryptic but poetic lyrics and nonsensical crap, you have outgrown Silverchair'. Pearson called the album an attempt to secure a safer territory and assure sales, after the success of past works, calling it more boring than its predecessors. Other reviewers noted influences from cult British band.In July 2009, 'Tomorrow' was voted number 33 by the Australian public in Triple J's Hottest 100 of all time.

As of January 2018, the group have sold 9 million albums worldwide. At the annual, Silverchair holds the record for the most nominated artist, with 49, and the most number of awards won, with 21. Their breakthrough year was in, when they won five out of nine nominations, including 'Best New Talent', and 'Breakthrough Artist' for both album and single categories.
