Kick (Reissue)

Throughout the early 1980s, INXS kept threatening to go big league, and with 1987's Kick they broke wide open, sending a sharp quartet of singles- New Sensation, Devil Inside, Need You Tonight, and the shimmering ballad Never Tear US Apart-right to the charts. The rest of Kick, especially the strutting Guns in the Sky and the groovy Wild Life, is of similar quality; all of it is marked by the band's Stones-y guitars and angular, funk-tinged rhythms. Vocalist Michael Hutchence's MTV good looks and Aretha meets Aerosmith swagger completed the musical equation for both the girls and the boys.
