5.0 out of 5 stars FRENZY packs a Frenetic Punch!, August 15, 2001

The Split Enz pack a diverse load of toe tapping music into this CD. Neil and Tim Finn seem to be competing to see who can pen the best tune, reeling off such great numbers as I See Red, Hermit McDermitt, and Carried Away. This album was obviously recorded while the band's lineup and attitude were remarkably in tune! The raw intensity will win over even skeptics with this collection!

This review is from: Frenzy (Audio CD)

I bought "Frenzy" along with Split Enz other albums "Second Thoughts" and "Time and Tide", and I think each of these albums has it's own unique character. Frenzy has a party feel to it, with songs like "I see red", "Marooned", "She got body she got soul" and "Abu Dhabi",this album will definately get you dancin'. But it also hits the heart with "Stuff and Nonsense", such a poinant emotive song in a sea of rather playful tunes. I love the phrase in "Mind over Matter" -- "Mind over matter, I got my mind over my matter". From this album and Second thoughts it is quite evident that the musicians are having a blast, and creating great music as well.

...in Australia

Prior to this, they had two art-rock albums ('Mental Notes', and the re-recorded, slightly altered track choice of 'Second Thoughts', recorded in London with Phil Manzanera who felt he could improve on 'Mental Notes') - as well as the poppier 'Dizrhythmia'

I See Red wasn't initially included on 'Frenzy', and there would still be some vinyl copies around that don't include it - though presumably they're now collectors' items - and Give It A Whirl was supposed to be the single. However, I See Red saw Split Enz blast out of the starting gate and onto the charts, so Mushroom saw the sense in including it on 'Frenzy'

To me, Frenzy is the final album that had Tim Finn at the helm. True Colours (Split Enz best pop album, IMHO) was the changeover of the guard, and thereafter it was really Neil's band, until he finally broke away to form first The Mullanes and then Crowded House

Anyone who likes Frenzy should explore True Colours. But anyone who likes Mental Notes probably shouldn't listen beyond Second Thoughts
