Currently listening to Silverchair's Diorama. The whole album.
It was on sale at JB HiFi and since it was only 9 bucks, I decided to buy it, for old time's sake. It was released in 2002. I can't believe it took me so many years to buy it and have a proper listen. My ears were probably too immuned to the constant overplayed “The Greatest View” on the airwaves, MTV and the like. I realised that Silverchair had changed and grown then and I knew they were brialliant. But now that all this time has passed, listening to this album is so much more meaningful and I’ve realised they’re beyond brilliant.
I think all the tracks on the album are amazingly well structured and well thought out. The writing is out of this world and the arrangements are just a breath of fresh air. I'm looking forward to their new one, due for release real soon. I'm not going to let 6 years go by this time round.
Listening to albums in full was such a norm back in school and now it has become more of a luxury. I'm talking about listening to the album over and over again, while reading the sleeves, credits and thank yous and digesting the lyrics and not just leaving it to play in the background. I almost always listen to music by the albums and not merely singles, just that I haven't been able to listen to them in detail such as today.
