Crowded House seemingly came from nowhere in 1986 with the debut album. The hits "Don't Dream its Over" and "Something So Strong" were welcome respites from the hair-metal-and-faux-rap blur that dominated the airwaves that year. But the song crafting on that album begin more than a decade before when Neil Finn joined his older brother Tim's band, Split Enz, one of the most popular bands in Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. On this album, Woodface, the Finn brothers reunite with songs about infatuation, America, and motherhood. The harmonies are amazing and the songs seem at once effortless and carefully constructed. It is their finest album.
