Definitely - the obvious take is wondering what Mitchell Froom would have done with some of the material, and I still wish Tim Finn had been retained.

And as for these videos - I had never seen a lot of them before, and they're pretty lame. I get the feeling that the label didn't think they were worth promoting and kept shunting them off to second rate video dudes or something. I think their best video was for "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Better Be Home Soon". Kinda too bad, because during that time period videos really made or broke a song.

Great take. That's probably the right assessment, it's an "interesting" album, but not quite up to the level of Woodface or the debut album. All in all a decent addition to the catalog.

I do find your music video reviews funny though. It seems like Crowded House is one of the more incompetent bands vis a vis the medium. Either that or music videos in general are ridiculous -- I seem to recall that Warrant's "Cherry Pie" was no great piece of cinematography either ;-)
