This is not Silverchair music though. The album really holds together well. I didn't find any 'skip' songs which is unusual for me.<BR/>If I had to compare their sound, I would say some of the usuals, Jellyfish, Brian Wilson, with some Todd R. electronics. But that doesn't really do it justice. The lyrics are unusual and other worldly, but catchy. The artwork and the videos seem to reflect that too and the whole works has a real integrated feel. Lots of harmonies. There are 2 instrumentals which are refreshing. It seems like very much a studio album although they toured. It is a GREAT headphone album. Kind of a SMiLE from another planet.<BR/><BR/>here's a link:<BR/>http://www.thedissociatives.com/news/news.htm<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>Bobbobbymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13744108212889920413noreply@blogger.com
