i absolutely LOVE straight lines..only just recently heard some of the other songs on myspace and i'm a little unsure about them..but that said, the first time i listened to diorama, i wasn't a massive fan, but it is easily my favourite album now, i freaking love it, so eh..i'm sure i'll grow to love young modern too :D

Diorama is awesome...It grows on you. But their new stuff should be good...Straight Lines is pretty good.

cant say it really interests me, though i havent really been that interested in stuff theyve put out since neon ballroom. im not really into the whole symphonic silverchair type thing, its just so different to how they used to sound.

when i hear straight lines, the first thing that comes to mind is evermore. i mean, i like evermore, but if im listening to silverchair id prefer it didnt sound like any other band.
hoping the rest of the album is better.

The first time I heard it I thought it was evermore.

P.S. I don't like Evermore

LOVE the new song.
freakshow, was the first album i ever owned. an when i was in yr 5, went to the freakshow tour at horden. first gig ever.

gotta admit as they have progressed i have lost a bit of intrest. but i still give them a try every time cause they were the first band i really liked.

listened to the whole album earlier on today.

i have to admit, im really dissapointed with it. fair enough if they didnt want to do any straight up rock any more, but not only does it not sound at all like anything from the first few albums, it doesnt even sound similar to diorama (at least to me). the only thing thats the same is daniel johns singing...im really thinking silverchair should have broken up, and released this as a different band.

to me it just sounds like theyre trying to sound like other recent bands atm, and thats sad.

i admit it's taken me a bit to get into it but i don't think it's particularly unlike 'silverchair'..i think it's got a lot of similarities to diorama, where all the notes sort of go everywhere, and lots of different instruments are used..honestly, i really like all that hehe, and daniel's voice is so distinctive, that i don't really think they sound like other bands..that's my opinion anyway, it's definitely growing on me and i've already had lots of the songs stuck in my head haha :)
