In August 1989 they released a single, "Onion Skin", ahead of their second album "These Here Are Crazy Times" (October), which was produced by Jimmy Iovine, Pete Smith and Pleasance, and mixed by Nick Launay. The album reached No. 10 on the ARIA Albums Chart, it spent 40 weeks in the Top 50, and achieved a double platinum certificate. Allmusic's Jonathan Lewis opined that "was slick, commercial pop. As in previous outings, lead singer Dale Ryder's effortless (although somewhat limited) vocal delivery and Richard Pleasance's skillful guitar work helped disguise the fact that underneath the catchy melodies and slick production, there wasn't a lot of substance to music". "Onion Skin" peaked at No. 11 on the ARIA Singles Chart and was followed by four more singles, "Get Out of the House!" (September), "The Best Thing" (December), "Dancing in the Storm" (April 1990) and "Talk About It" (July). "Dancing in the Storm" also featured in the 1990 Australian comedy film "The Big Steal".
