Topic: X (INXS album)


In the News (Wed 19 Nov 08)

  
 X (INXS album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Released in 1990, X is Australian rock band INXS's seventh studio album.
The title, the Roman Numeral for "10," represents the band's tenth year since their debut album was released in 1980.
The album contained such hit singles as "Suicide Blonde," "Disappear," and "Bitter Tears." It was the third consecutive INXS album produced by Chris Thomas following Listen Like Thieves and Kick.

 VH1.com : INXS : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
INXS hailed from the pubs of Australia, which is part of the reason they never comfortably fit in with new wave.
For their next album, INXS recorded a few sessions with producer Nile Rodgers, which resulted in the sleek, funky "Original Sin," the first inclination that the band was making a move toward a fusion of Stonesy rock and dance music.
INXS was quiet throughout the following year, but in 2005 they teamed with reality-show maverick Mark Burnett for Rock Star: INXS, an elaborate, globally-televised audition that resulted in J.D. Fortune -- a former Elvis impersonator from Canada -- becoming the band's new lead singer.

 INXS: I'm Only Looking - The Best Of (2004)
I think that’s a mistake, and one that smacks of some desperation on the part of the remaining INXS boys, but it’s their prerogative.
The intros also present text information that details the dates for each video, the albums from which the songs came, their directors, and their filming locations.
INXS fans will love Looking and neophytes should give it a peek as a nice way to learn about the band.

INXS was pretty good in concert; I discuss one of their last shows on our concert reviews page.
Of these The INXS Album Collection is quite good, but it puts a whole pile of stuff on one huge, graphics-intensive intro page, so be prepared for a wait.
This, their first new album after a long quiet stretch that was punctuated only by a greatest hits compilation, is the best single example of everything that was good about INXS.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : X
If there was one moment I'd have to name that was the beginning of the end for INXS, it was when some critics considered their 1990 release X to be a moderate failure.
Simple: on almost every INXS song, there is a guitar riff that the work is based on, and the guitars all have a certain "jangle" to them, not entirely unlike The Edge of U2's playing style in the mid-'80s.
Is X the commercial flop that we've been led to believe it is? Not a chance.

X is more cohesive than any of their other records.
Seamlessly, the album blends Rock and RandB as INXS have always done, but on this album, the energy and moods are more congruent, and the grooves are more solid than ever.
X is greater than the sum of its own parts.

On this album you will see the promise of what was to become a great band, yet you can see where things were "rough around the edges" as well.
One fact that I find amazing about Inxs is that this six member band stuck together from their formation in the late 1970s through Michael Hutchence's untimely death in 1997.
Much of this album was recorded as they were touring the pubs in Australia -before they would emerge in popularity in Australia with their follow-up ("Underneath the Colours) or their American break-through album ("Shabooh Shoobah").

 X - INXS - Song Listings
The seventh album from Australia's INXS basically sticks to the formula set up on Kick, mixing solid remixable dancefloor beats with slightly quirky production tricks, Michael Hutchence's rough-edged, bluesy vocals, and some good solid song hooks.
In the finish, the overwhelming lack of subtlety and sense of sameness overcomes the album as a whole.
Alternative releases are different issues or variant issues of the same album.

With X, their best and most cohesive album, they focus their strengths, coming up not only with tough, state-of-the-art pop but with the casual confidence of a mature collective personality.
On X, he leads his two brothers – guitarist Tim Farriss and drummer Jon Farriss – and INXS's two other players – guitarist-saxophonist Kirk Pengilly and bassist Garry Gary Beers – on a tour of radio-tasty riffs and filigrees.
Seamlessly, the record blends R&B and rock as INXS always has done – but this time the grooves are more solid, the energy and moods less disparate.

 INXS : Listen Like Thieves - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
INXS completes its transition into an excellent rock & roll singles band with this album.
Unfortunately, the new configuration only works for three songs: "What You Need," "Listen Like Thieves," and "Kiss the Dirt (Falling Down the Mountain)." But these three songs are so strong that the album cannot be dismissed completely.
The album is worth its price just for "What You Need," a strong Stonesy groove with Michael Hutchence singing more warmly than he ever has.
