Full review
More gems are offered on this 'last' album of Crowded House in the form of songs like 'Kare Kare', Nails In My Feet', 'Fingers of Love' and 'Private Universe' that featured the now familiar Crowded House signature sound.
'In My Command' has a Beatle-esque rock feel with a Lennon-like vocal for the more manic sections homage and invention in it's own right rather simple mimicry.
The power of the rockier tracks like 'Black and White Boy', 'Locked Out' and 'Skin Feeling' seem to be fairly low in dymanics accoustics and lyrically. They remind of INXS with snatches of Simple Minds mixed to make a little more interesting.
The ballads show a wide sweep of both dynamics and emotions in the production and the lyrics from Neil Finn which are again a pleasure to behold.
The omission of lyric pages a bit annoying as like to enjoy them fully without the need for looping parts of tracks.
