THE REVIEW
The adolescent concentrate of "innocent criminals"
The third work by Silverchair, released in '99, represents the sonic confirmation and pseudo-maturity acquired by the band; at that time the Australian kids were just 19 years old, but with talent and ability to spare; the album, written entirely by singer Daniel Kohns in a period of anxiety and seclusion, conveys the singer's strong desire for purification and remorse.
12 tracks, 12 moods, the storm and the ensuing calm; the atmosphere that combines hard guitar arrangements with classical orchestrations of strings and piano makes the listening experience unique in its genre; a consistently personal concentration where we find moments of psychological anger, but also catchy moments of sweetness...
A album full of ballads, sick slow songs, and gritty riffs, all created in a harsh and industrial environment of the Australian suburbs. Their music ranges from Soundgarden to Nirvana, from Pearl Jam to the Smashing Pumpkins, but it doesn't pretend to be compared; it is not one of those immediate albums, that get into you from the first listen, with them you need patience, the patience to let yourself be captured... for anyone who feels nostalgic for grunge and for anyone who appreciates good music...
" ...I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I’m supposed to love you back..."

The album requires patience but offers a rich emotional journey through anger, remorse, and sweetness. Fans of 90s grunge and alternative rock will find this album rewarding.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
