Music Review: Welcome Back Crowdies
Rating: 4 Stars
This new Crowded House effort is simply wonderful. But, if you're after instant gratification, then this album is not for you. It is impossible to comment on this CD before at least half a dozen listens. It is darker and heavier than previous Crowded House sets and Paul Hester's presence is everywhere. While it may not have the same level of energy as you'd expect from typical Crowded House fare, it nevertheless has moments of pure Neil Finn genius. She Called Up is the closest thing to the boppy Crowded House of yesterday, reminiscent of Something So Strong. In part, Time On Earth does resemble one of Neil Finn's solo projects, but this is only logical because this CD began as Finn's next solo work until the suggestion of reforming Crowded House was raised. There are aspects of every part of Finn's career on this CD, with hints of Split Enz, reminders of the Crowded House we used to love (and now love again) and both his own work and that with brother Tim, as well. On first listen, you'll probably only like two or three tracks, but after half a dozen listens you won't be able to put it down. There's something to enjoy about nearly every track on this CD. The uptempo pop of the Crowded House of the 80s and 90s still exists on Time on Earth, the gorgeous ballads are haunting, the brooding rock of Silent House (co-written with The Dixie Chicks) fantastic, and the melodies, just beautiful. To all those doubters out there, you didn't really think one of the greatest songwriters of our generation would let us down, did you?Music Review: Great to hear them again!

When Paul Hester, who provided such solid beats for the band's music, died a couple of years ago,......I figured that was the end of anything more from Crowded House. Though Neil Finn has recorded on his own, and with his brothers,.....it was the music from Crowded House I enjoyed the most.
The band has a new drummer,....and a great new album of material. The melodies and lyrics tug at your heart strings,....the harmonies are strong and haunting,........
Those who remember the Beatles, and enjoy the music of Michael Penn, in addition to being fans of the catalog that Crowded House has created, will enjoy this cd.
