Editorial Review: Album Description: Limited edition two disc (CD + PAL/Region 0 DVD) pressing of the 2007 reunion album from Neil Finn and his housemates features a bonus DVD that contains three live performances filmed for a Real World Sessions Webcast, interview with Crowded House and photo gallery. The CD features the long-awaited album produced by Ethan Johns [Kings Of Leon, Ray LaMontagne] and Steve Lillywhite [U2, Morrissey]. 14 tracks including the first single 'Don't Stop Now' and 'Even A Child'. From Amazon.co.uk: Time on Earth, the first Crowded House record since 1993's superlative Together Alone, began as a Neil Finn solo record, but morphed into a reunion album after bassist Nick Seymour joined the studio sessions and new drummer (Matt Sherrod, formerly of Beck) was recruited to replace the late Paul Hester. Hester sadly took his own life in 2005, and Time on Earth is, in that sense, a tribute album; yet it's simultaneously a move into the future. In true CH style, Time on Earth weaves together a range of moods, from touching, introspective ballads, to upbeat, Beatles-esque rock 'n' roll. --Paul Sullivan Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - In Search of a Wider AudienceI was surprised and disappointed to find only two (nicely written) reviews for this outstanding album, as it seems indicative of the "missing audience" overlooking a proverbial diamond in the rough. So I'm writing to up the review total to "3", in the hope that "3" is indeed the magic number - and that the magic attracts new sets of ears to Neil Finn's brilliant songcraft, easily discovered on tracks such as "She Called Up", "Nobody Wants To", and "Pour le Monde" - a subtle, yet powerful anti-war song that broke my heart with the very first listen. And then there's "Silent House", which for my money delivers the poignant lyric with a heart-to-heart clarity that far surpasses the version recorded by his co-writers (even ...

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. Rating: - Welcome Back CrowdiesThis 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 ...
