“Young Modern.”

Usually it takes me at least a few weeks to warm up to a new album, but after only a few days I can enthusiastically urge you to buy Silverchair’s newest, Young Modern. It’s simply amazing. In case your image of Silverchair is that of the 15-year-old kids that burst onto the scene with “Tomorrow,” a hot grunge single in 1995, suffice it to say that they have grown and changed in many ways over the years.

Young Modern has catchy rock riffs, lush orchestration, introspective lyrics, and captivating continuity. It’s also got the first song in a while that sends shivers up my spine with every listen – the rousing, fist-pumping “Straight Lines.” I guarantee you’ll feel a serious inclination to conquer the day after cranking it up.
