At the same time, their songwriting abilities aren't as strong, and they are never able to break away from the standard grunge formula. Nevertheless, the record does deliver a collection of songs replicating the thunder of ‘Tomorrow‘.<ref name="allmusic"/></blockquote> Chuck Eddy of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' wrote in July 1995:<blockquote>the songs on ''Frogstomp'' almost all start out like dreary [[Metallica]] ballads and build toward gloomy, by-the-numbers [[grunge]]".<ref name="Eddy"/> David Fricke of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', on the other hand, wrote: "Truly shameless wanna-be's {{sic}} like [[Bush (British band)|Bush]] should be so lucky to have the hard smarts that Silverchair – particularly the band's main writers, singer-guitarist Daniel Johns and drummer Ben Gillies – show on such ''Frogstomp''-ers as ‘Pure Massacre‘ and ‘Israel's Son‘.
