Zero chance of hearing Savage Garden on Triple J. Kingsmill wouldn't have allowed that.
Plus in 1997 there was way better Aussie music being released. Savage Garden beat Double Allergic and Ivy and the Big Apples to Aria album of the year. Lol.

They would have made more album sales both here and overseas than Powderfinger and Spiderbait but that doesn't make it a better album, most of their album sales would have been from teenage girls.
I dunno, as far as Australian pop music goes, I think savage garden were alright.
He did most of his vocals on that album in one take, go to the pub, come back do a song, back to the pub, come back do a song ect
His voice has paid the price for all the drinking and smoking now, sounds very rough live.

What makes a particular album better than another? Is there a metric that can be applied

I'm no big city music critic but there probably is a metric. Crappy pop music is usually crappy for repeating 15 seconds over and over for 3 minutes. Good music you can hear the instruments building or changing.
There probably is, somewhere. I'm pretty sure there is some sort of formula to making pop music with mass appeal, evidenced by how much of it sounds alike.
For me a crap album is a repetitive one, where every song sounds the same. I got this last time I tried to listen to Ed Sheeran. Whereas Wu Tang's 36 chambers is a deadset valuable piece of art.
To me, a great album is one that has a few dead set crackers on it the first time you listen to it, with other songs being good. Then over time, some of those other songs start to increase in appeal.

In the end it's subjective. it's was said of the Velvet Underground's first album that few bought it but every one of them formed a band. Just like artists some albums aren't properly appreciated at the time. I also like concept albums where the songs combine to tell a story, like Hourly Daily or Sgt Pepper.
Yeah. Whilst not mandatory, a coherent theme, narrative, or sense of place helps.

To me its about memories. If an album evokes strong memories, its a good un
Yeah, I enjoy listening to one more than another.....
I had Fly on the Wall album. Evokes good memories of the time I was listening to it but the fact I probably not got it out in over two decades to listen again, suggest it was not a good un....lol
Saw a good video on youtube last week but swear the footage looked more late 80's even though it probably out in 90's. See if I can find it by visiting youtube again.
Found it.
Reminds of being down the beach all summer camping with mates in early 90's.
