anyone who thinks otherwise clearly hasn't given this album a good listen, and probably has just played kick too many times and just played the first three tracks of listen like thieves and said "yeah yeah, now i wanna hear devil inside again!"

i wouldn't call their later albums slickster crap. what was the last inxs album you listened to? can you honestly call full moon dirty hearts slick? that album sounds like it was recorded by a pub band after a long night of performing and drinking (which is both good and bad, depending on which song we're talking about). even welcome to wherever you are isn't 100% slick. and kick? guns in the sky is gritty. some of their songs are slick but they do have some gritty tunes.
if you consider the lyrics for x awful, you should look at the lyrics on the cranberries' to the faithful departed.Layton said:The lyrics are god-awful.

I guess the point I was trying to make with the Australian comment is that they actually sound like themselves which is an Australian rock band.

but anyway listen like thieves is by far my favourite inxs album. anyone who thinks otherwise clearly hasn't given this album a good listen, and probably has just played kick too many times and just played the first three tracks of listen like thieves and said "yeah yeah, now i wanna hear devil inside again!"

I think songs like "Original Sin", 'Burn for you', 'I send a message', the Aussie rock-out "Don't Change" and "The One Thing" which I always think is so damn sexy really rock over the later albums when they were sounding too American and too me, too formulaic.
Get the Swing: the track listing is never better:
Original Sin
Melting in the Sun
I Send a Message
Dancing on the Jetty
The Swing
Johnson's Aeroplane
Love Is (What I Say)
Face the Change
Burn for You
All the Voices
underneath the colours is one of my favourite inxs albums. i'd put it in my top three definitely. and the title track is justblueeyedgirl said:Have any of you heard the early INXS albums, Underneath the Colours, Shaboo Shoobah and my favourite, The Swing?
