As the band's primary songwriter, Neil Finn was under pressure to create a second album to match their debut and 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.
The album did not fare as well as their debut in the US, only reaching number 40, but it achieved Australasian success, reaching number one in Australia and number two in New Zealand.
The first single " Better Be Home Soon " peaked at number two on both Australian and New Zealand singles charts and reached top 50 In the US, though the following four singles were less successful.
Crowded House undertook a short tour of Australia and Canada to promote the album, with Eddie Rayner on keyboards.
Multi-instrumentalist Mark Hart, who would eventually become a full band member, 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.
