| “ | Wikipedia: Silverchair is an Australian alternative rock band. The band formed as Innocent Criminals in Newcastle, New South Wales, in 1992, with their current lineup of vocalist and guitarist Daniel Johns, bass guitarist Chris Joannou, and drummer Ben Gillies. Silverchair have been highly successful in the Australian recording industry, receiving the industry's flagship awards, the ARIA Awards, a record 20 times. The band has also received two APRA Awards. Silverchair found early success when one of their first songs, "Tomorrow", won a local music competition run by Australian television network SBS. The band were soon signed by Murmur, and were successful on the Australian and international rock stages. In 2003, following the release of Diorama, the band announced a hiatus, during which time members recorded with side projects The Dissociatives, The Mess Hall, and Tambalane. Silverchair were reunited at the 2005 Wave Aid concerts, and went on to release Young Modern and play the Across the Great Divide tour with Powderfinger. Silverchair's sound has evolved throughout their career, differing sounds on specific albums steadily growing more ambitious over the years, from grunge/post-grunge on their debut to their more recent orchestral prog-infused chamber-pop. The songwriting of Daniel Johns has been noted as improving steadily, while the band has developed an increased element of complexity in later works. In June 2001, Silverchair entered a studio in Sydney with producer David Bottrill (Tool, Peter Gabriel, King Crimson) to start work on their fourth album, Diorama. This time, Daniel Johns formally assumed the role of a co-producer. The album, which Johns described as "a world within a world", came from his newfound method of writing most of the material on the piano, a technique he had developed during the band's break. In order to complete his vision for Diorama, several other musicians were drawn in to contribute to the album, including Van Dyke Parks, who contributed orchestral arrangements to "Tuna in the Brine", "Luv Your Life", and "Across the Night". Paul Mac and Jim Moginie also collaborated with the band. While recording Diorama, Johns referred to himself as an artist, rather than simply being in a "rock band". Upon the album's release, critics commented that the album was more artistic than previous works. The first single from Diorama, "The Greatest View" was released to radio networks in Australia in early December. The single was then released to coincide with the band's appearance on the Big Day Out tour. During the tour, Johns' reactive arthritis made it difficult for him to play the guitar. Diorama topped the ARIA Albums chart, and spent 50 weeks in the top 50. Five singles were released; "The Greatest View", "Without You", "Luv Your Life", "Across the Night", and "After All These Years". Of these, "The Greatest View" charted strongest, reaching #3 on the ARIA Singles Chart. Diorama was successful at the 2002 ARIA Awards, winning five awards including "Best Rock Album" and "Best Group". The band played "The Greatest View" at the ceremony; the song was also nominated for "Best Video". The album, and singles from it, were nominated for several awards in 2003. Following the 2002 ARIA Awards, the band announced an indefinite hiatus. Johns says it was necessary "given the fact the band were together for over a decade and yet were only, on average, 23 years old". Silverchair are generally a alternative rock/post grunge band, although their loyalty to specific genres has changed as they have matured. Much of the band's early post-grunge work was inspired by Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Black Sabbath. Gillies agreed, noting the band were inspired by the "Seattle sound", as well as The Beatles and The Doors, and were highly impressionable in their youth. In writing Young Modern, Johns tried to make the music sound very simple, in spite of a complex musical structure. The lyrics were written after the music was produced, sometimes as late as the day of recording. As Johns has said he dreads writing lyrics, he suggested that the band could produce an instrumental album at some stage in the future. Joannou believed that Young Modern was more simple than Diorama, but "still as complex underneath with simple pop song elements". He said that much of the success of him and the band resulted from Silverchair trying to push themselves harder in recording and writing. Self-producing 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" in 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. | ” |

| “ | allmusic: One of the few true shocks in life is when a young band with a seemingly short shelf life manages to somehow keep it together and continually improve. Take Silverchair, whose plodding angst anthems were the subject of much ridicule during their initial splash. But they somehow kept going and kept improving, and Diorama is the sound of a band finally growing into their own skin. The songs have a sense of space and tunefulness that was always missing from their previous efforts, and the production (by David Bottrill) brings to mind everything from the charging anthems of Big Country to U2's first experiments with Brian Eno. Singer Daniel Johns steps into the forefront here, showcasing his rich voice and shockingly catchy tunes with a gusto missing from their earlier albums. His efforts recall deceased singer/songwriter Josh Clayton-Felt, utilizing a similar vocal approach and writing the same sort of psychedelic soul on tracks like "Tuna in the Brine." A song like "World Upon Your Shoulders" could have never been possible before, but in one song they take the washed-out symphonies of Soft Bulletin-era Flaming Lips and the delicate falsetto pop of Jeff Buckley and combine them into a digestible pop nugget. Although the song may not be as brilliant as the artists they reference, their simple willingness to even attempt that sort of song shows a remarkable maturity. The awesome guitar work from Johns also shows growth, as the songs often drift into Edge-like noodling that compliments his voice much more than the chugging riffs of their first few albums. "Without You"'s Goo Goo Dolls-lite is an unwelcome twist, taking their newfound sense of melody and giving it a blustery chorus that robs the track of its power. The thick "One Way Mule" is another minor disappointment, reverting back to their grunge sound for a song that has little of the intelligence and beauty of the rest of the album. But mostly this is a wonderful surprise from a band thought to have been finished in the late '90s. Being hesitant to give this a chance is perfectly understandable, but Silverchair has grown up and put together a fine mix of pop and rock on Diorama. | ” |

| “ | How to burn multimedia track (CD-Extra): 1. Burn the audio, but leave CD open. If you're using, disable Audio master quality or your burner's equivalent 2. Open supplied ISO in some burning program (e.g. Nero). Check, if you got selected Mode 2 / XA, no Multisession and Strategy is Track-at-once. Doesn't work with DAO. Now you can finalize the disc. Some options should be already pre-entered in ISO, but better check, you may have some overriding or using different burning software. 3. Voila! You got CD-Extra. Tested it with Nero, CDR-Win would screw the CD up, so don't even try. You can (should) try it first with some RW to see it works. | ” |
