Music reviews of DioramaMusic Review: Dio-Drama? - Daniel "i am the ressurection" JohnsListening to Silverchair's latest masterpiece, Diorama, one could be mistaken for thinking that Daniel John's nights are spent at the opera and that he has Freddie Mercury albums on repeat. It takes an assured sense of self to believe you have the musical gift to follow in the hallowed path of Queen or Lou Reed, for Diorama is a musical broth simmering with rock sensibilities while heavily infused with rock opera. Confounding his critics though, Daniel Johns and Silverchair do manage to achieve the impossible. Songs such as "Across the Night", "Tuna in the Brine" and "Luv your Life", take you deep into the dreamy landscapes that inhabit Daniel John's mind. Elaborate yet intense, the songs build up to a crescendo, and then, instead of reaching a conclusion, will surprise you with tangents targeting your emotions. "let us get merry, and make another baby,... i don't want to be lonely" from Across the Night and the "closer to everything" verse from Tuna in the Brine are illustrative of this.If Neon Ballroom confronted John's personal demons, then Diorama decides to escape into a surreal realm.Indeed John's almost seems relieved to be free of the anguish that marked his previous efforts. Instead, through songs like "After all these Years" "World upon your Shoulders" and "With or Without You", John's is displaying the maturity that can only be garnered through dark experience. While personal issues such as loneliness are still glossed over, "i'm all by myself" from "Luv your Life" he will then put a positive spin on it"... but its the way i wanna be". Undoubtedly there most accomplished work, Diorama ranks as one of the finds of 2002.
