Negative Positive
Title: Glorious return to form from Finn and Co.
Review: It's been a long time since the last Crowded House album and almost as long since I gave up hope of another CH album coming out. Sure, Neil's solo albums were great and the Finn Brother's album was a nice little treat (if a bit slow), but I never thought I'd see another "Crowded House" album. If I did live to see the day, I reasoned, it would be another in a long line of bands getting back together that had nothing to say and no reason to be back together. I've never been so happy to be so wrong.There is a somber tone that seems to hang over the album, but as long as Neil can still write an amazing pop tune like "She Called Up", I don't care.The last third of the album falters a bit for me, but even saying that, "Time on Earth" is an album well worth checking out. If you need convincing, just listen to "She Called Up" and I DEFY you to get that song out of your head.
Is the review positive or negative?
