Ya know, I was really looking forward to his solo album...

Jesus fuck.. that falsetto, my ears hurt.

I actually do love this new song, Preach. Astrial Love, not so much.

Anyways, the EP is ok. Preach is lovely. Astrial Love is atrocious. The other 2 tracks I guess have me slightly interested in the new album still.

*This is edited with a link to the full performance instead of that 30 second clip.

Wow there are some stellar tracks on this new album.

Put Silverchair (and Daniel Johns) in the "Very Underrated" category.

One of my favorite bands.

I imagine its difficult to be defined by some songs you wrote when you were 15.

Interesting...

I haven't listened to Silverchair in many years...but Neon Ballroom --> Diorama were two of the best runs of albums any band has had.

This show from the Diorama era is just awesome to watch "After All These Years"...

Preach

Preach
We are Golden
Going on 16
Good Luck

These are 4 of the best songs of DJ's career. Ballsy album and it totally worked.

I thought Preach was Maroon 5.

That's just crazy talk, Bada. But, I do think Going on 16 sounds like it belongs on Reflektor.

Very good album.

Anywhere near AOTY for you, bain? Are there tracks that you don't care for? I think this album would be incredibly strong if a few tracks were skipped and Surrender and Late Night Drive were added. I'm still in obsessive listening mode with it.

i dont know, i have to spin it a few more times

its no Other Lives or Steven Wilson for sure, but its very solid all the way through

but yes, it could've been shorter

Sounds more like Elbow than Arcade Fire.

This is a bit hard to swallow.

This is a bit more palatable.
