    It may not be an album most would expect from Neil Finn, but it’s clearly the one he wanted to make.

    As the album hits its stride it heads squarely into AOR territory, and one or two tracks could have been a good minute shorter, but even tracks such as the pop-rock single Flying in the Face of Love are lifted by superior production.

    It’s disjointed and discomforting, and certainly easier to admire than actually enjoy.

    While Fridmann (best known for his work with Mercury Rev and the Flaming Lips) weaves his usual psychedelic magic, the accentuation of purely sonic elements--glitchy loops, textural effects, the miasmic tone--is at the expense of Finn’s core songwriting strengths.

    It just seems that Dizzy Heights is just Finn noodling about, unsure of what direction to take, and the whole deal feels painfully laborious.
