5.0 out of 5 stars This album made me like grunge, March 29, 2003

This review is from: Freak Show (Audio CD)

I was a fan of these lot before I became a Cobainist. I bought this album after hearing the song 'Freak', a ballad about, well, being a freak. When I first popped this song into my CD player (which took a good 6 months to get out), I was astonished. 'Slave', a song about being manipulated, has the best song beginning I have heard in years. Then it eventually finishes with a fast, punky ending.
The third track is called 'Abuse Me', which starts off mellow but gradually becomes grungy. The fourth is a 1 minute song called 'Lie to me' that sounds like a black sabbath song. Track five sounds like Nirvana's 'Milk It', and is called 'No Association'. The sixth is a mellow song done on the acoustic called 'Cemetery'. Seven is an upbeat song, and one of my personal favourites called 'The Door'.
There are much more songs on this album, but you will have to listen to this album to discover what they're like...

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing!, April 27, 2000

Wow. That will be your first thought after listening to this album. The first chords you hear will have you stuck to this CD for a long time. Freak Show contains almost metal songs (Learn to Hate) all the way to slower tunes (Abuse Me). Freak is probably the greatest silverchair song along with Anthem for the year 2000. Abuse Me, the first single, is an awesome song. The quick, rockin' tune of Lie to Me will catch you by surprise. This album is such a step up from Frogstomp it's amazing. It can't be put into words. Buy this CD right now.

I am a HUGE silverchair fan and absolutley LOVED this album! It was a mixture of the two albums, it had a lot of punk rock attitude plus more of a creative side, like Neon Ballroom. All tree band members and guests on the album did a brilliant job. Make sure you get it!
