''Temple of Low Men'' is the second studio album by Australian band Crowded House, which was released in July 1988. The three band members: Paul Hester on drums and backing vocals; Neil Finn on lead vocals and lead guitar; and Nick Seymour on bass guitar and backing vocals; recorded the album in both Melbourne and Los Angeles with Mitchell Froom as producer for Capitol Records. Finn had written all ten tracks during the two years since their self-titled debut. ''Temple of Low Men'' peaked at number one in Australia, number two in New Zealand, number ten in Canada and number 40 on the ''Billboard'' 200 in the United States. It provided five singles, "Better Be Home Soon" (July 1988), "When You Come" (August), "Into Temptation" (December), "Sister Madly" (1989), and "I Feel Possessed" (January 1990). In most markets the highest charting was "Better Be Home Soon". Additionally an album track, "Never Be the Same", appeared on the ''Billboard'' Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. At the ARIA Music Awards of 1989 the group won four categories: Album of the Year and Best Group for ''Temple of Low Men''; Best Cover Art for Seymour's work; and Song of the Year for "Better Be Home Soon". ==Background==
Crowded House and Neil Finn, as their main songwriter, were under pressure to create a second album to match their self-titled debut from June 1986; the band joked that one potential title for the new release was ''Mediocre Follow-Up''. Eventually titled ''Temple of Low Men'', their second album was released in July 1988 with strong promotion by Capitol Records. Crowded House undertook a short tour of Australia and Canada to promote the album, with Eddie Rayner (former Split Enz band mate of Hester and Finn) as a touring member on keyboards. Multi-instrumentalist Mark Hart (ex-Supertramp) replaced Rayner in January 1989. After the tour, Finn fired Seymour from the band. Music journalist Ed Nimmervoll claimed that Seymour's temporary departure was because Finn blamed him for causing his writer's block, however Finn cited "artistic differences" as the reason.〔 Seymour said that after a month he contacted Finn and they agreed that he would return to the band.〔
