A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it exhibits the highest electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and reflectivity of any metal.

Most silver is produced as a byproduct of copper, gold, lead, and zinc Refining (metallurgy), refining. Silver has long been valued as a precious metal. Silver metal is used in many bullion coins, sometimes bimetallism, alongside gold: while it is more abundant than gold, it is much less abundant as a native metal.

Silver (Boiled In Lead Album)
''Silver'' is the seventh album by Minneapolis Celtic rock band Boiled in Lead. The band's first studio album in 13 years, ''Silver'' also marked Boiled in Lead's 25th anniversary. The album also reflected a number of significant lineup changes. It was the band's first studio recording after the return of longtime lead singer Todd Menton, and the addition of guitarist Dean Magraw. Longtime drummer Robin Anders played on ''Silver'' and at the album's live release show, but would leave the group later that year. ''Green Man Review'' writer Chuck Lipsig noted that Menton's presence marked something of a return to the sound of the group's most musically eclectic albums, 1989's ''From the Ladle to the Grave'' and 1990's ''Orb''. The album again featured a strong Celtic flavor but also included Middle Eastern and Algerian influences on songs like "Berber" and "Menfi." The album also includes a cover of "The Sunset," originally performed by Frankie Kennedy and Mairéad Ní Mhaonaigh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reception Debbie Carr from ''ABC'' said "Just as polished as the name itself, 'Silver' shows DMA's progressing into slicker form of their late 90s-early 00s pop revival. Warm, encompassing guitar parts wrap their arms around you, while singer Tommy O'Dell’s voice soars, in a way that's damn near impossible to be anything other than lovable." Alex Gallagher from ''Music Feeds'' described "Silver" as "spirited swirl of atmospheric yet anthemic guitar-pop, with a pretty huge chorus to boot."

Silver (The Wrens Album)
''Silver'' is the debut studio album by the alternative rock band The Wrens, released June 11, 1994. Critical reception ''Trouser Press'' wrote: "Frenetic guitar stylings in classic post-punk slapdash mode underpin most of the tracks; bassist Kevin Whelan, guitarists Greg Whelan and Charles Bissell and drummer Jerry MacDonnell take turns singing lead; the predominantly strained, nasal vocals render a lot of the lyrics indiscernible but lend a heartfelt charm."

Silver (Starflyer 59 Album)
Starflyer 59, usually known as Silver, is the self-titled debut album of rock band Starflyer 59, released in 1994 on Tooth & Nail Records. It has acquired the name ''Silver'' due to its cover art.

''CCM Magazine'' commented that the release was "quite unlike anything else in Christian music" at the time. The record was produced by Jyro Xhan and Jerome Fontamillas, at the time members of the group Mortal, under the collective pseudonym "Blood".
