Free Music Notes for Temple of Low Men Album
Free Music Review: A couple of songs away from utter perfection.
Hit: 4 Stars
Neil Finn rightly has a reputation as a crafter of eminently hummable, infectious pop/rock tunes, and this, Crowded House's sophomore effort, is a fine showcase for his (and the band's) ample talents.
This set explores, to a greater degree than any other CH album, the breadth of human emotion inherent in relationships, from fear to ardor to longing, covering virtually every possible variation in between. The writing is crisp and beautiful, the playing simultaneously delicate and energetic.
The album's high points include the passionate "When You Come," one of those Finn songs that manages to be both about, and not about, sexual desire; "Never Be The Same," a thoughtful reflection on mortality, and the yearning apprehensiveness of "In The Lowlands."
Even the weaker tracks, such as "Kill Eye" (which can be a bit grating after time), are still far more interesting than the filler found on the albums of lesser artists.
If you are searching for the perfect pop/rock set, I would recommend Finn's solo debut, Try Whistling This; nonetheless, this album will make a fine addition to any CD collection and is a must for all CH fans.
