Silverchair - Diorama [LP] (180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl, import)

Diorama is the fourth studio album by Australian alternative rock band Silverchair, the album was released on 31 March 2002. Daniel Johns wrote most of the album at the piano instead of his usual guitar, while the band took a 12-month break following their previous studio album, Neon Ballroom. Silverchair worked with composer Van Dyke Parks on Diorama. The album contains numerous orchestral arrangements and power ballads, a change from the post-grunge music typical of their earlier work, but consistent with the Band's previous orchestrations on Neon Ballroom. The album's title refers to "a world within a world". Several songs on Diorama were inspired by Daniel Johns' then-girlfriend Natalie Imbruglia, but he cautioned against possible misinterpretations of the songs, stating "Everyone will think that any lyric that's about someone in a positive light will be about her" and noting that their were other people he cared for about whom he wrote the songs
