Split Enz - Dizrhythmia (1977) [VINYL] - 24-bit/96kHz plus CD-compatible format

After "Mental Notes" was re-recorded as "Second Thoughts", the boys came up with this one. And they left it like that.

Finally an LP that's the same all over the world! After "Mental Notes" was re-recorded at "Second Thoughts", the boys came up with this one. It's an island of calm compared to what happened with the follow-up, "Frenzy" but I'll save that story for later.

Review by Chris Woodstra
"Dizrythmia marks a change not only in personnel (half of the band had been replaced) but also musically and lyrically. With Tim Finn taking over the band, gone almost entirely are the neo-classical arrangements and abstract imagery in favor of a more direct approach that draws heavily from British Invasion-era pop as well as incorporating British music hall and straight-ahead rock & roll. And though the band is still hiding behind hair, colorful costumes, and the occasional swirl of carnival sounds, beneath it all Finn makes his most personal statements to date, showing his optimism and determination for the band's future while also revealing his uncertainty and fears. Most of the songs deal with relationships and, more specifically, his parting of ways with former collaborator and close friend Phil Judd."
