Neil & Tim Finn

[CRAZY-HORSE]

TIM FINN "the view is worth the climb" 2011.

so both Finn Brothers released albums in 2011, and for the first time a Tim Finn album actually beats a Neil Finn album when compared to latest releases by both...
but,
is the view worth the climb?...not in my opinion if judged by this album it aint!
again, another Tim Finn album without any truly classic songs on it..he seems to struggle to make anything really great when he is not working with younger borther Neil.
almost all the tracks are piano based ballads, rarely getting up to anything above walking speed, lyrically though, Tim is still as good as anyone in the game, shame his music lacks spark, maybe he is just a boring sod or he is happy and content as he heads towards the big 60!.
only two real dud tracks on here, the rest barely make the passing grade, and had it not been for his lyrics, they most certainly would not have done so.
maybe its time for me to throw my Finn chips on the table and walk away from them, but the moment i do that they are sure to both make a great record.

for some strange reason there never seems to be many links to Tim's songs, this one only has one!
