The Other Side is the second studio album by Australian rock group, 1927.[4][5] Founder Garry Frost had left early in 1990. The band recorded the album with Eric Weideman (lead vocals and guitar) as principal songwriter, and Charles Fisher producing and Frost co-producing.[4][5] The line-up was Weidman joined by James Barton on drums and backing vocals, Charlie Cole on keyboards and backing vocals, and Garry's brother Bill Frost on bass guitar and backing vocals.[4]
The Other Side peaked at No. 3 in July 1990 on the ARIA Albums chart and was preceded by their Top 20 hit single, "Tell Me a Story" (May).[6] Australian musicologist, Ian McFarlane described the album as "full of lush, ambitious arrangements and well-crafted pop, but it lacked the charm and rousing choruses" of their debut album, ...Ish (1989).[4] According to The Canberra Times' Cherie Marriott, "it comprises a strong selection of rock tracks and ballads whose subject matter range from love and friendship to thought provoking global issues."[7]
