Before & After (Tim Finn album)

Before & After is the fourth studio album by New Zealand singer/songwriter Tim Finn, released in July 1993.

Reception
Rolling Stone Australia claimed the album was "Tim Finn's best work in a recording career spanning almost twenty years. Finn has simplified his song-writing, finally dumping the clever-clever curlicues that have blurred his past work." The reviewer did note that production was, "sweet and shiny, to please radio programmers."
