INXS
The Swing
2.5 out of 5
Highlights:
Original Sin
Was INXS actually any good or were we just victims of their incessantly well targeted public relations firm? After I get past the nostalgia for “Original Sin” and really listen I get it. It’s Duran Duran meets Midnight Oil. And I’m not saying that because Oil and XS are both from Oz. They actually sound like that. This is just dance-rock, no? They really lucked out with Hutchence being as good looking and charismatic as he was cuz it’s remarkable how the Farriss brothers managed to make a whole career out of writing the same damned song over and over again.
