So…Tim Finn wrote this, right? Cuz this is the most listenable Tim’s been in forever. I’m struck by just how much this sounds like Crowded House, not as catchy but the tempos and intentions are so similar.
I know we are going to get to Neil’s big breakthrough album in a couple months and I kind of wish we had put these back to back.
All of these songs sound like they were picked up by a scavenging Tim hanging around the studio waiting for Neil to fall asleep so he could grab songs that weren’t going to make it.
(I hate Tim Finn as longtime LP members know. I truly believe he is responsible for every bad thing Split Enz ever did and it was the best thing Neil ever did when he went on his own)
That said, this is a perfectly fine record. One that sounds like Robert Palmer and Neil Finn got together one weekend and wrote a bunch of songs they would never record.
