Frenzy, the fourth studio album from New Zealand's Split Enz, came out on Mushroom in February 1979, and it's the sound of the Auckland art-rockers shaking off their theatrical, proggy past and diving headfirst into pop. The quirks are still there, but the songs come tighter, twitchier and built for the radio, which is exactly where the hit single "I See Red" came roaring in, a manic, breathless blast of new wave nerves.
It's also a changing of the guard in miniature. Tim Finn still leads the charge, but Neil Finn steps up to the mic for the first time, taking lead vocals on "Give It a Whirl" and "Master Plan", with Nigel Griggs and Mal Green also aboard for the ride.
