"It took me a long time to realize that the sound Ben, Chris and I make when we play my songs is something special", says the Silverchair frontman. "I've been thinking a lot since we finished the album about were this fits into the other stuff we've done. The way I see it the first album was naivety, the second one was anger, the third one was depression and the last one was escapism. Young Modern is all about acceptance. It's about embracing who we are as band and just really enjoying ourselves because that's all that really matters. Hopefully listening to this album will make other people feel what we feel when we play these songs together because I've finally figured out that that's a very special feeling."
Can't be any more correct than that.
And another thing. If diorama and straight lines 'commercial' then it would make tool look like simple plan. I know there is a lot of us silverchair fans that, myself included, prefer the first two albums, however bands change and there is no way in hell silverchair have ever changed in a bad way. No matter whatever people say, musically, Diorama is a work of a genius that is Daniel Johns as will be Young Modern.
agreed. plus technically at the time wouldn't frogstomp and freak sort of be "commercial" in the sense that grundge was the popular alternative type of music (i guess sort of like "emo" today). Either way i think other than straight line their stuff is entertaining and very different from the "commercial" music that's out.

and to add after i heard that same quote you put. I'm thinking that this song sort of reflects the idea of Daniel sort of knowing that being with Silverchair is were he's meant to be mixed with how he's overcome any disorders and depression.
"I don't need no time to say
There's no changing yesterday
If we keep talking and
I keep walking in straight lines" i think this reflects it. in the sense that there's no changing yesterday and he keeps walking in a straight line that he can't change who he is and he is progressing as a person, but also the band is taking a new direction but you can only move forward.
i also think the fist verse can easily represent these two ideas as well. "i had no one with faces in front of me" I think can represent his depression and feeling like he had no one even though millions of fans looked up to him at concerts and whatever. but also feeling the emptyness of maybe taking a break and realising that silverchair was there all along. anyways that's my take on it even though i'm prob waaayyy of lol
