5.0 out of 5 stars true classic 14 Feb 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Though inconsistent, New Zealand's Split Enz were among the finest "alternative pop" groups of the 80's. "True Colours" is their most solid effort, with Tim and Neil Finn's songwriting finding a collective balance. Everyone knows "I Got You", but the album is full of great tunes, including "What's The Matter With You", "Shark Attack", and "I Hope I Never". Originally issued on coloured vinyl, this record should be a part of any great pop collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Beginning of The Enz 9 Sep 2011
By Tim Kidner TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This was far and away the Enz's first proper pop album, with hardly a wrong note or poor song. Their albums prior were slightly crazy, chaotic, albeit with charisma and as yet unharnessed talent. They were the practice sessions and True Colours the debut, proper.

Poor Boy was always my favourite, a song I felt empathy with, back as a teenager. Their biggest hit 'I Got You', getting to no. 4 in the UK charts and was often referred to as 'I Don't Know why I get Frightened', as it's a key line in the song. Particularly memorable to me, True Colours was not only the first ever album I ever bought but in the most formats....cassette, then LP, then a laser-etched LP, then with a alternative colour design sleeve and then, finally, this CD.

It's well cheap now and I still prefer the best of Enz's music to almost anything that the Finn boys did as Crowded House. Rather like the lead singer of A Ha, Tim's soaring voice really suits the semi electric lineup; Eddie Rayner's sizzling and often haunting keyboards superbly enhancing the overall effect. A synthesized trumpet solo on 'Nobody Takes Me Seriously anyway' is just one example. It is a very well recorded album, too, with a clear, open and well balanced sound - and with good bass, too.

I've often cited this album as my all time favourite and playing it again, now, for the hundredth (or so) time, is as fresh and enjoyable as ever.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a great album 15 April 2013
By tc847
Format:MP3 Download|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this on vinyl when it first came out. It is somewhat a product of its time but still has some very good songs by those master craftsmen who would later be known as Crowded House.
