*** By this album INXS sound bored, tired and have exhausted their creative juices...Their popularity had peaked, Michael was in the headlines for all the wrong reasons more often than not (not by he's own fault or means either...the British press can be / and are ruthless)...and group just sound stale in comparison too everything else that was going on in the music world.
The energy is just missing, crafty tunes are absent, production below par....it's a second rate INXS album. The few highlights are the title track, "Girl On Fire", "Everything" and "Don't Lose Your Head"... but even these tracks don't compare to their earlier work.
INXS had an empty tank and where running on fumes...not album I'd recommend in a hurry if your a new fan of the group.
