Silverchair



Frogstomp was described as similar to Nirvana and Pearl Jam; All Music Guide's Stephen Thomas Erlewine noting it followed in "the alternative rock tradition" of the bands.[10] The band's songwriting was poor at that stage, with Erlewine stating that "their songwriting abilities aren't as strong" as those of their peers.[10] Rolling Stone however, claimed that the band had risen above their peers, applauding Johns' "ragged vocals".[9] Freak Show saw the band show more of their own musical style, rather than copying others,[55] and thus received more praise for its songwriting than its predecessor. Yahoo! Music's Sandy Masuo described the lyrics as "moving" and "emotional".[56]

Entertainment Weekly approved of the further advancement in Neon Ballroom, drawing comparisons to AC/DC, and commenting on "plush strings on these adult arrangements".[57] There were once again significant advancements in songwriting; Johns was described as "furious, motivated, and all grown up".[57] However, Rolling Stone said the album seemed confused, commenting that Silverchair "can't decide what they want to do" with their music.[58] Meanwhile, Diorama was seen as an extension of the band's originality, with its "[h]eavy orchestration, unpredictable melodic shifts and a whimsical pop sensibility".[59] According to PopMatters' Nikki Tranter, the album stood out in an otherwise dull Australian music market.[60]

All Music Guide's Clayton Bolger described Young Modern as an improvement by the band, praising "catchy melodic hooks, inspired lyrical themes, and stunning string arrangements". He claimed the album was the pinnacle of the band's development.[61] PopMatters' Nick Pearson saw the opposite, claiming that "[o]nce you reach the level of intellectual maturity where you can tell the difference between cryptic but poetic lyrics and nonsensical crap, you have outgrown Silverchair".[62] Pearson called the album an attempt to secure a safer territory and assure sales, after the success of past works, calling it more boring than its predecessors.[62]
