I'm a huge fan of INXS, but I didn't get into them until Listen
Like Thieves. Never went back to get their earilier albums which
is kind of ironic given that Don't Change is one of my all time
favorite songs. I do have the song on their Shine Like It Does:
The Anthology (1979–1997) Set. So it's not like I'm missing
everything from their Vault. Anyway, posting the videos from
their albums which I don't have so that you can see where they
are coming from...and the rest of the thread will show where
they went.

I'm not a much of fan of INXS. Many years ago, I happened across
hearing this one song (Don't Change) that instantly caught my
attention. Before the internet, I had a tough time hunting this
song down. Who were these guys playing this song? I don't recall
how and when I figured out it was INXS as the artists, but was
so glad to find out so I could get my hands on a good recording.
Love this song. It's at the top of my list of songs, that when I
get my 'party' band together that plays really fun songs, Don't
Change will be played.
The video did nothing for me. In fact, I probably shouldn't have
watch it. Typical bad video of the band from the 80's.
Hey, found a good live video if you wanna switch (grin)

Well, I'm a stickler for cataloging all artists videos, crappy
or not. But definitely post the other video up here as well. I'd
like to check it out.

I admittedly have not dove to deep into INXS. I think I know
most of their bigger hits. It may be just me but I found Don't
Change fairly different than their other material. Ya think
that's right, or Don't Change is very typical of their stuff?

Honestly Mac, you couldn't be more off the mark about INXS.
Speaking strictly from a music fan perspective and not a fanboy
of INXS, I can be completely objective here when I say they are
one of the most diverse bands ever. Every album is different and
every one of their songs is different. If you look at pretty
much of all of their biggest hits you will see that none of them
sounds anything like the other which goes to show that they can
write incredible, memorable songs. It's for this very reason why
I am looking forward to dissecting everything from Listen Like
Thieves to Elegantly Wasted, 6 albums total in this thread.
Hopefully one or more of the reviews I put up will give you the
push to check out an album and give it a listen. You'd be really
surprise to see just how good they really are. Even if you
checked out an album I guide you to and you didn't like it, I'd
still want to hear your thoughts on it. I'd still have to stab
you in the eye though.

Listen Like Thieves has their monster hit What You Need which
exploded the band into the stratosphere and became an MTV staple
for years to come. As good as the song is, and it is a great
song, it's not my favorite on the album. The album starts off
solid with the first 3 songs: What You Need, Listen Like Thieves
and Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain). It was actually
the Title Track that got me into the album because of the video
and the song just sounded so cool, especially when it gets to
the Chorus. Kiss The Dirt is another great song too.
But this isn't a perfect album in large part because I think
even though Three Sisters is a decent instrumental, it doesn't
belong here and it kind of throws the album off track a bit.
Really not sure why it's even on there to begin with. But even
with this slight misstep, the album definitely should be given a
shot, especially if you want to hear what I think are the best
songs here.
The best song here for me has always been Same Direction. The
beat just get's me pumped to where I wanna dance....or bang my
head. Great melody which showcases everyone perfectly. Great
vocals too. Instant earworm for days. The other great song is
This Time. I guess you can technically say it's a Ballad, but it
doesn't sound like a typical ballad though. Shine Like It Does
is another great song as well. There are a couple of fillers
here, but even they sound pretty damn cool, especially One X One
with Kirk Pengilly's Sax all over it.
Face Songs: What You Need, Listen Like Thieves, Kiss the Dirt,
Shine Like It Does, Good & Bad Times, This Time and Same
Direction which gets the album MVP award.

Sucks that no one has the videos for Listen Like Thieves and
Kiss The Dirt on YouTube. Will dig around and post here if I can
find any.

I don't think I've ever seen that particular Live version of
Don't Change. I've seen a lot of them, but not this one. Good
find, Mac. Thanks!!

Every single song on Kick.....kicks ass! This album is so damn
good and so diversified across the board. There are no songs on
here that repeat themselves and yet as a whole the album flows
seamlessly from one song to the next. This is an album that I
definitely didn't have a problem double dipping on back in 2002.
I know that they released this one again as a Deluxe Edition a
couple years after that which I definitely want to pick up for
myself.
As great as the initial release of Kick is, the 4 "new" songs
that are basically demo's and alternate version are insanely
good. They don't even sound like demo's at all. They are so good
that they should have been released during the first pressing of
the album. The album Kicks off with 3 awesome songs in Guns In
The Sky, New Sensation and Devil Inside. Three songs that
couldn't more different from one another in tone and execution,
which is sign of things to come in how different all the songs
are.
Guns In The Sky is awesome with its heavy reliance on the drums
to propel the song. Hard rocking political song.
New Sensation is a brilliant Pop song that has a great groove.
The riff itself belongs in the Hall Of Fame!! One of the best
party songs ever!
Devil Inside is a very moody song that slowly builds up over
time that you yourself end up singing along too because its just
a great release.
Need You Tonight/Mediate couldn't be further apart from each
other both sonically and lyrically and yet they both work
increbily well together.
The Loved One is a great cover version of The Loved Ones. Good
rock song anchored by Andrew Ferris on Piano/Keyboards.
Wild Life is probably the most overlooked song on the album.
Probably could be considered a filler track, but one that I
always listen too.
Never Tear Us Apart is just an amazing song from start to finish
just in the arrangement itself where the Violins pretty much
drive the riff, the vocals by Michael Hutchence is simply
brilliant. A shot straight to the gut and the Sax Solo by Kirk
Pengilly is just awesome for how short it is.
Mystify is another fantastic song with a great melody that hooks
you in for days. Earworm.
Kick is definitely a straight ahead rocker that tends to play it
by the book. Nothing too groundbreaking but one that's sure to
get your feet moving.
Calling All Nations has a great riff with the song once again
being carried by the drumming of Jon Farriss. Insanely
addictive.
Tiny Daggers is kind of a departure in sound and execution and
is very reminiscent of a lot of early Bon Jovi songs with
respect to the vocals. Great song.
Move On (Guitar Version) is just one of the coolest, most
atmospheric songs on the album. When they say it's the "Guitar
Version", that's exactly what it is with it's feeback that
envelopes the song. A+
Jesus Is A Man is definitely a song that departs from the rest
of the album. I think Michael's vocals here is super cool with
the subtle use of acoustic guitars that just builds and builds
by the end of the song. Great track and one of my faves here.
Fave Songs: All of 'em!! I don't even know how to even pick an
MVP here because each song is damn memorable and leaves me
wanting to play each one over and over. But lets see if I can
actually come up with 5 MVP's just for the sake of making me
work here. New Sensation. Devil Inside. Need You
Tonight/Mediate.Never Tear Us Apart. Mystify. Move On (Guitar
Version). Jesus Was A Man. Okay, that's more than 5.
Very cool Album cover, front and back that gives everyone in the
band it's own spotlight. It's creative and original. Also, if
you are one of the few that never really watched any of their
videos, you're doing yourself a huge disservice by not watching
them. You owe it to yourself to check out some of the most
original, creative and groundbreaking music videos (at the
time). There videos are over 25 years old and they STILL kick
pretty much every single "new" video's ass that's currently on
the air. You have all the video links below so you have no
excuses not to check them out.
