Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The temple of low men is slang, of course, for a woman's lower sexual regions--and if it shocks you that safe old MOR Crowded House would call their album after such a thing, then you haven't been listening to safe old MOR Crowded House: all Neil Finn's songs are about guilt and obsession, the way mortality makes every great moment bittersweet, and sex. "When You Come" isn't about his wife returning from the shops--you don't have harmonies so hard and desperate where a simple "Hello" would suffice. And when Mrs. Finn first heard "Into Temptation," she was convinced Neil was having an affair. Of course, there's those classic cartwheeling West Coast Crowdies songs you expect: "Love This Life" is as blithe as a child on Easter morning and "Better Be Home Soon" is a lantern for the heart when the days get dark. But there's always electric storm-clouds in the distance. --Caitlan Moran
Description
Following fast on the heels of the band's debut, CROWDED HOUSE, TEMPLE OF LOW MEN was one of the most critically acclaimed yet commercially neglected releases of the late '80s. Opening with the gorgeous "I Feel Possessed", this stunner of an album is an expression of the thrills and dangers of fameand success. From "Into Temptation", where Finn comes so close to adultery that you can almost feel it to "Better Be Home Soon", where his opportunity for redemption lies, the emotion is palpable in every line. Finn is always a bit of a connoisseur when it comes to creative ways of describing coital bliss, and this collection contains the debut of the firstof many paeans to the orgasm, the not-so-subtly titled "When You Come". Short and sweet, TEMPLE OF LOW MEN is a superb follow-up to CROWDED HOUSE.
