Crowded House - Time On Earth Vinyl LP | Alternative Rock Music Album | Perfect for Home Listening & Music Collectors

In 2007, fourteen years after the last Crowded House album - 1993's 'Together Alone' - they were back with the contemplative and sweetly melancholy 'Time on Earth'. Given its hushed vibe, it's not surprising that the album, as a whole, is a bit of a grower, as Finn's tunes take some time to reveal their gifts. A few songs have an immediate impact -- such as the gently propulsive "Don't Stop Now," the snappy, jangly Marr collaboration "Even a Child" (the closest this record comes to a rocker) and the spacy, tongue-in-cheek "Transit Lounge," featuring Beth Rowley as vocal support -- but most of these are subtle songs that unfold at their own speed. It may take some time for the songs to catch hold, but once they do, they dig deep, sticking around in the memory like much of Finn's best work.

But even if this is unquestionably Neil Finn's show, this also does feel like the work of a band, since there is a warmth here, a feeling of support, that sounds like a group, not a one-man-band. This curious intermingling of sounds and intent makes 'Time on Earth' a haunting yet comforting affair that is quite unique in Neil Finn's body of work, yet functions as an oddly appropriate, utterly worthy, comeback as Crowded House.
