Full review
Temple Of Low Men was perhaps the least succesful Crowded House album. Their self-titled debut exploded in America and other places followed. Woodface charmed Europe and their by then considerable fan base, and Together Alone continued this. Temple, however, lay in between their American and European success, and so was missed by many at the time. That was a real tragedy.

Temple has a slightly darker feel than the first Crowded House album, brought to it by perhaps two of the band's greatest songs: Into Temptation and I Feel Possessed. The songwriting on the album is magnificent, and the musicianship also shines through. Though the album lacks the raw power and atmosphere of Together Alone and the sunny harmonies of Woodface, it has a fantastic consistency to it which makes it easy to play straight through. In fact, therein lies the album's only major weakness, as it is a track or two short at 10 songs, but this means there are no fillers that make the album incoherent.

Therefore, many listeners missed out on Temple Of Low Men when it was released, and I would recommend they miss out no longer. It doesn't quite rival the band's Together Alone peak, but it gives it a good run for its money.
