Pro Reviews: Neon Ballroom
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Silverchair's third full-length release is a confusing affair that reveals a band more talented than their critics realized and more confused than their fans could tolerate. The Australian trio never made any secret of their respect for Nirvana, and on Neon Ballroom Silverchair does one of the best impersonations of their Seattle counterparts on record. It would be easy to convince any Kurt Cobain fan that "Spawn Again" and "Dearest Helpless" are actually In Utero outtakes, and quite good ones at that When the weepy ballads, like the Goo Goo Dolls-esque "Miss You Love," pull Neon Ballroom into an overtly radio-friendly direction, all the promise of a gritty grunge tribute fades, and Silverchair appears to be serving two masters. The resultingly incongruent musical textures stifled Neon Ballroom and assured a certain amount of fan disenchantment despite the minor airplay success of "Ana's Song (Open Fire)." There are still enough nice moments on this CD to recommend it to even casual fans of the Aussie outfit. Those who had enough of Silverchair when modern rock radio played their mid-'90s hits to death need not concern themselves with this mixed effort. - Vincent Jeffries, All Music Guide |

Pros: I didn't have to buy it, no emotion sickness.
Cons: no opinion
I got this cd from my bro last christmas kind of surprised kind of disapointed. First of all I wasn't expecting it so I decided to listen to it. To sum up this album, it just seems like a pile of confusion on top of some more confusion I mean when you listened to anthem for the year 2000 back in 1999 "the video" you could tell the song sucked. the whole album has a bouncy feel like a roller coaster ride of ups and downs but without the thrills. When you first listen to emotion sickness you will be pleasantly surprised with silverchairs progression of music style but you will be confused by the context of the lyrics. That song I think its called point of view sounds like a lame copy off of the door on their previous album freakshow, the whole album leaves you awry-disillusioned. Theres only about 3, or 4 good songs on the album actually more like two or three. What pisses me off about the album is all the pain and negativity and the "oh I'm a helpless individual" message being put across to the listener. The album is cynical at its best. If you want a good silverchair album resist the urge to buy this one because it just simply lacks the caliber of what freakshow had tenfold, what's next silverchair, diorama or writers block? ...
