Album Review

The first proper Split Enz album features the band at its eccentric best. Mental Notes is completely noncommercial art rock filled with ambitious arrangements and slightly disturbing themes courtesy of the Phil Judd and Tim Finn songwriting partnership. Finn's bittersweet crooning perfectly complements Judd's madman persona on tracks like "Stranger Than Fiction." Although the album would be repackaged, renamed, and re-recorded in years to come, the band would never again produce anything like it.

This is from 1975??

I think this is completely out of time. It leaps past Bowie, ignores punk, defeats disco, and shows new wave what's got to be done. I'm so glad I stumbled to it from The English Beat.
