| | INXS : Kick - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
 | | Where the follow-ups to "What You Need" made barely a ripple on the pop charts, Kick spun off four Top Ten singles, including the band's only American number one, "Need You Tonight." Kick crystallized all of the band's influences -- Stones-y rock & roll, pop, funk, contemporary dance-pop -- into a cool, stylish dance/rock hybrid. |
 | | More than that, really, Kick is an impeccably crafted pop tour de force, the band succeeding at everything they try. |
 | | Even without the band's sense of style, the flawless songcraft is intoxicating, and it's what makes Kick one of the best mainstream pop albums of the '80s. |
