  1. Entertainment Weekly
    91
    Young Modern is a polished glam-rock suite, boasting more ecstatic melodies and colorful riffs than their four previous efforts combined.
  2. All Music Guide
    90
    Young Modern is a highly ambitious work that happily jumps from glam rock to sweeping orchestral pastiches and almost everywhere in between.
  3. Rolling Stone
    80
    They are aggressively modern in the long reach of Young Modern.
  4. PopMatters
    30
    Young Modern displays a band with the talent to do something new, but without the guts to try.

    Great album. One of the rare bands that started off lame (though to be fair, they were 15 years old), and keep getting better with each album. I'm really enjoying this disc. Leave your preconceptions at the door of what Silverchair "is" and you may take a liking to it. ...Though, if you loved "Tomorrow" or "Freak" you probably will hate this. It sounds like two entirely different bands.… Expand

    Don't understand why everyone's wetting themselves over this album. It may not sound like old Silverchair and it may be different than anything alse I've heard lately but that doesn't mean it's good. I'm gonna go back to my non-Silverchair loving self, thank-you.… Expand
