4.0 out of 5 stars Just plain fun, May 2, 2005

This review is from: Young & Jaded (Audio CD)

I first came across this album (and Ben Lee) when my ex-girlfriend started playing some of these tunes on her guitar one night. After she played the actual CD for me I thought that the "recorded in his bedroom" quality was exactly what made this album so refreshing and just plain fun. I ran out and bought it myself (well, once we broke up) and is now a staple in my "best of ..." list. What can I say ... I loved it.

2.0 out of 5 stars At least Silverchair can play their instruments, January 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Young & Jaded (Audio CD)

I bought this CD back in '95 after reading the Spin Magazine article about them, and boy, was I ever disappointed. This "album" (actually just a demo tape) was apparently recorded in Ben Lee's bedroom, and it shows -- I've heard karaoke tapes with far better sound qualities! As for the songs: they are somewhat amusing at first (especially "I Wish I Was Him", a tribute to Evan Dando of the Lemonheads), but they are nothing out of the ordinary, and Ben Lee and his friends can't sing or play their instruments. Oh yeah, I would stay away from Ben Lee's "critically-acclaimed" follow-up ("Grandpaw Would") as well. I've only seen the video for "Away With The Pixies" once, but it didn't seem like Ben's guitar-playing/singing/song-writing had improved at all. I remember when there were heated discussions about Silverchair vs. Noise Addict/Ben Lee. My 2 cents: stay away from them both.
