I love Time on Earth, and personnel controversy aside, I feel it can stand tall with the original albums. Intriguer just doesn’t work for me; I haven’t listened to it since 2010. Crowded House is obviously fantastic for the first four tracks, and I like Tombstone and I Walk Away too, but as an album I’ve never loved it and the production is often too cheesy to handle. Afterglow is a really enjoyable collection; I’m not sure how well it actually coheres as an album, but the songs are strong enough I don’t care. And 1-3 need no further explanation.
