Advantages: Great Tunes

Disadvantages: Some people think they are Aussies

They only lasted a decade, but in that short time Crowded House managed to release four sterling pop/rock albums, each with a different soundscape; their jangly, boisterous debut, the beautifully eerie "Temple of Low Men," the meticulously-crafted "Woodface," and "Together Alone," wild as the New Zealand coast near which it was recorded. Fans of pop gems like "Don't Dream It's Over" and "Better Be Home Soon" will have plenty to sing along with, but there are just as many forays into un"chart"ed territory: lead singer Neil Finn seems to channel George Harrison on "Not the Girl You Think You Are"; log drummers add Maori polyrhythms to "Private Universe." For the collector, there are three brand new tracks featuring former Crowdie Paul Hester back on drums. In short, "Recurring Dream" will make you want to come back to the House over and over again.
