| Silverchair Neon Ballroom 1999 Colombia By Chris Shipman |
||||||||||||
| With this album Aussie rockers Silverchair finally shook off their Nirvana in Pyjamas tag that had dogged them since their debut release, 'Frogstomp' four years previously. In this, much like 'Mellon Collie...' by the Smashing Pumpkins the band break away from their rock roots and explore a wider sonic range including Pianos and Strings as shown in 'Emotion Sickness'. The album features some of John's most powerful songwriting and shows what he was going through at the time. At first hard to get into but well worth the effort.
