Tell me what you think.....
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self

    I'll admit the video is terrible, but they aren't known for their groundbreaking videos now are they? I love Straight Lines though. Give it some more listens it will sink in.

    yeah, the video is awful. but i think the song is fantastic. im anxious to hear the new album. their albums always see, to strike a good balance of progression and perfection... trying out new sounds while fine-tuning old ones. think emotion sickness/spawn again or tuna in the brine/the lever. straight lines seems to fall more into the latter camp, a solid example of the epic and more optimistic sound they developed on the last album.

    you think silverchair make music for us. ha. they're doing it for themselves. for their own satisfaction. i do believe what they're going through is called maturation. and quite frankly not all bands manage to get out of their adolescence. silverchair have. people freaked out when diorama was released as well. but hey it wasn't the end of the world nor was it the end of silverchair. and young modern won't be either. they can't keep releasing frogstomp clones. don't forget these guys have been at it since they were babies. now they're men and that's got to have an impact.
    oh btw i like what i'm hearing from the new album.

    Wow. Bad. I guess they are trying to be like Coldplay now? And what's up with those dance moves? So much for the anticipation of this album.

    I agree cate. What's the point to listening to the same old formulaic shit?
    I love that the boys in the chair are learning as they grow and that they do it for their own pleasure and experience. Makes it all that much better for the rest of us. Taken in it's entirety the silverchair back catalogue is one of the finest I've ever heard. And I hope they keep doing what they're doing. Because growth is always a good thing for an artist.

    Incidently, its for the same reasons that I've stuck with Pearl Jam. And it's the main reason I admire them so much too. :)
    NOPE!!!

    Yeah, I reckon Paul has influenced them, but you can't go past the amazing input and influence that the legendary Van Dyke Parks had on them for the Diorama album.

    I can hear both influences in the new single.
    NOPE!!!

    i hope pearl jam ends up sounding like this on thier next album. the could learn a thing or two about appearance and performance from the chair too.

    im wondering how many of the people hating on this song would be saying the same thing if they had heard the song by itself instead of just seeing it with the video. cos the video does suck horribly and daniel looks like a tool. but the song is very good and gets better with each listen.

    its the intro man, trust me....it is the apex of shit. and the rest of the song...not good enough to make up for the awful, awful intro.
