Split Enz's debut is a theatrical, artsy, gloriously strange opening statement. Prog-adjacent NZ art-rock that's more vaudeville fever dream than pop record.

Split Enz re-record and sharpen their art-rock with Phil Manzanera producing. Angular, quirky, and more focused than the debut, but still proudly weird.

A lineup shift softens the edges and lets the pop instincts breathe. Split Enz start bending their art-rock toward melody without losing the strangeness.

An early-days compilation catching Split Enz before the art-rock fully formed. Rough, scrappy, and mostly for the completists tracing where it all started.

A transitional record caught between art-rock past and new wave future. Uneven but fascinating, with the Finn songwriting sharpening toward what's next.

The shelved sessions that became Frenzy, finally unearthed. A rawer, alternate look at Split Enz mid-transition, one for the deep divers.

The breakthrough. I Got You leads a tighter, brighter Split Enz into their new-wave-pop peak. The record where the weirdness and the hooks finally align.

Riding the True Colours high, Split Enz keep the new-wave-pop sharp and confident. History Never Repeats leads a strong, hook-forward follow-up.

Split Enz go moodier and more atmospheric, anchored by Tim Finn's tide-and-water concept. Their most cohesive and emotionally weighty record.

Tim Finn steps back and Neil steps up as the band starts to fracture. An uneven, transitional record with flashes of the Crowded House to come.

The farewell. A Neil-led Split Enz bows out quirkier and looser than their peak, a fitting, low-key goodbye before the next chapters began.
