All songs written or co-written by Tim Finn.
On his fourth solo album, Finn dabbles in dance-pop, pseudo-reggae, and folky ballads, with a different set of producers on nearly every track. While this leads to a certain lack of consistency, Finn's songwriting has never been stronger. He has the most success on the self-produced, stripped-down tracks where his strong sense of melody and knack for catchy pop hooks are allowed to be in the forefront. "Persuasion," co-written by Richard Thompson, and "In Love with It All," written with his brother Neil Finn (Crowded House) are highlights. ~ Chris Woodstra

Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (8/13/93, p.74) - "...nearly every song here catches you....Fans of smart pop can't go wrong..." - Rating: B+

Q (8/93, p.92) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...[augments] the kind of tuneful, pert, intelligent pop that Crowded House have patented with [Finn's] own gift for quirky storytelling...gambols gently through a subtle range of styles and arrangements..."

Musician (8/93, p.90) - "...exquisitely crafted guitar pop, full of effortlessly arching melodies and wondrous minor-key modalities..."

Stereo Review (1/94, p.126) - Performance: Sublime / Recording: Excellent - "...Finn is a no-gimmicks purveyor of mature, ingenuous, and undeniably adult pop....Finn has created a disc that flows from ecstatic peaks to melancholy chasms...."
