I have a very human flaw.

I only have two arms.

This means I cannot play two guitars at once.

This is reasonably annoying. It is a fundamental limitation in musical creation, even more so than dexterity or timing or hand size.

It means that I cannot play a riff over a chord rhythm at the same time.

This puts you in a tricky situation. You play guitar by yourself, and deal with this limitation. You can try to cover this by playing a walking bass line and fill with a lead pattern. This is a bit lame and isn't really the same as playing both parts, independently but at the same time.

So you can join a band. Then someone else can do part of the job. But then you have to deal with other people, and it's not quite the same as creating an independent song on a single instrument.

I therefore propose all humanity be gifted with an extra two arms as required.

Silverchair - Young Modern.

EHhhh.

Pretentious piano (I hate you, Paul Mac. More than you will ever know.). Daniel 'LOOK AT ME! LOOK! MY VOICE IS CRAAAaaAaaAazZY!' Johns. Riffs that sound borrowed from The Dandy Warhols. Vocal harmonies from Blur, Prince's voice and a Fleetwood Mac backing band.

All that aside, it's not a particularly bad album. It's just....it's not angry pubescent Silverchair :(

My new house is bitchin. I am going to get a cat.

But I need to get a fridge and a washing machine first.
