Intriguer
In 2009, the band re-entered the studio and recorded demo tracks of 11 songs, some of which Finn had written during the tour around the previous album.BBC was also very positive with statement "Crowded House have always sounded in parts like the later solo career Paul McCartney should have had.In "Popmatters" which gave 7 out of 10 stars at first, Intriguer finished on "slipped discs" of 2010, great albums which didn't make top 70 of the year.Uncut also gave 3 stars, saying that the album "suffers slightly from Crowded House's signature weakness: a tendency to retreat into tastefulness."[citation needed] Ally Carnwath from The Guardian also gave it 3 stars, saying "the trouble with the album's more conventionally crafted pop songs is that they invariably sound dull.
