Silverchair - Frogstomp CD

List All 10 Reviews

 An Almost Perfect Depiction of Teen Angst
I never actully had this album growing up, but Silverchair stands out in my mind as one of the best Rock bands of the 90's. Now everyone hated on them because they were "Nirvana wannabes"" , in fact, there was a lot of bands being accused of ripping off Nirvana, but that ceartainly wasn't thes case, not to me anyway. It's a shame that tomorrow was their only hit, because they were just as good as any of the Seattle bands. They might've been just teenagers but hey, def Leppard were teenagers when they started out, and they rocked just as hard. Good band, much too underrated.

 Generic Pleasures
Frogstomp was released in 1995 just as grunge was finally running its course. Once upon a time a few youngsters decide to enter a competetion, they win a record deal. They create an album in a couple of weeks and before you know it, a few 15 year olds have an album on the shelves. The album is good at what it does, recites simple melodies accompanied by a crunching grunge guitar, although this is also its weakness. There is hardly any depth here, most of the songs have poor lyrics, and many of the riffs are rip offs (Leave Me Out = Sweet Leaf). So why do I give this album 4 stars? To be honest I don't know. I like grunge music even if it's not very good grunge music, It's practically my guilty pleasure. You must also admire the fact that a few teens could release an album this good. To simply put it, It's essential enough for Grunge collectors, a lot better than any other post-grunge band, (Nickelback, Creed, Staind, You know what you're doing to music!)

 Classic
As far as I'm concerned, the future will regard this album as one of the best of the 90's. Do yourself a favor, and put it in your CD player and just press play. Start at Israel's Son, and let it run until the guitar fades at the end of Findaway. It'll be 45 minutes you won't regret.
