Did you ever have a really good friend who just sort of drifted away from you?  And did they come back one day?  Do you feel all warm and fuzzy and feel a certain kind of happiness has returned to your life now that they're back around?

Well ... that's how I feel about the new Crowded House CD "Time on Earth".
I'll post a full review when I've had time to give it a real listen, but I'm a few songs in as a casual listener and it's sounding good!
