INXS - Shine Like It Does
It was really worth-while buying this CD, it contains all the best of Inxs (except one maybe - By My Side). The CD was delivered to me three weeks ago and I still listen to it all days. Maybe that is because it is connected with my youthfulness, the happiest part of it. Inxs's song Dissapear is a sort of anthem to me. |

Excellent compilation of INXS

| This 2 CD remastered anthology of INXS is their best compilation to date and offers a very good overview of the Australian band's work beginning in 1979 until 1997. Their music was (is) a blend of rock (sometimes hard), pop, and catchy dance tunes. INXS played in front of many sold out arenas and stadiums in their history. Unfortunately the untimely death of Michael Hutchence in 1997 marked the end of an era of their greatest achievements. Yes...INXS reemerged again in 2005 but honestly the Hutchence years still reign as king. If you buy this set you to can savor the history of the music by the original INXS whether you are a casual or die hard fan. You won't be disappointed... |

INXS has, in the years since Michael Hutchence's passing, been moved to an almost legendary status. The double CD of "Shine Like It Does" shows that the high praise and adulation is well deserved. By the time the band hit their stride on "Shabooh Shoobah," they'd worked out the kinks and honed the act into a powerhouse of gritty, Stonesy rock with almost New Wave undertones. The first four cuts on this anthology show the growing pains, up to "Stay Young."
Once "The One Thing" and "Don't Change" gave INXS some currency, and they experimented on both "The Swing" and "Listen Like Thieves." Pushing their edge with Nile Rodgers on "Original Sin" and the Bowie-ish "Johnson's Aeroplane" proved that INXS were multidimensional, and then "What You Need" propelled the band into the American Top Ten.
INXS proved one thing over and over. They were a crack live band. Hutchence was charismatic and electric, Kirk Pengilly's sax was one of the best in rock, and the Farriss brothers created glorious guitar racket. All the members were songwriters. With all that going for them, they finally struck a bulls-eye when "Kick" exploded. With the classic singles "Need You Tonight," "Devil Inside" and "Never Tear Us Apart," this was the band's crowning achievement. INXS captured a moment there that - despite several good albums after - they didn't scale to again.
Which leaves the rest of the set with choice selections from albums that were, for the most part, diminishing returns. That said, there are still gems from each, including Hutchence's duet with Ray Charles on "Please (You Got That)" from "Full Moon, Dirty Hearts" and the rejuvenated band's title track from "Elegantly Wasted." There's also an obscure The Lost Boys soundtrack single with Hutchence and Jimmy Barnes (of Cold Chisel), "Good Times."
"Shine Like It Does" pays tribute to a band that was drawn up short by fate. (Rock Star and JD Fortune/Switch not withstanding.) While Hutchence was a dynamic frontman, listening to these discs as the band evolves proves just how much of a cohesive unit they were (how many of you have Michael's solo album?). While the single disc "The Best of INXS" will probably suit the casual listener, this well packaged 2-disc set with a well written booklet is terrific for a fan that wants a little bit more. |

Xcellent excellent collection of their music....

I have owned this anthology for almost 4 years now, one of the best music buys I have made in the last 5 years. Being a big fan of INXS since the late 80's but just owning Kick, X, their live CD and their Greatest Hits, this gave me a broader vision of all their music and I am really glad to have had the opportunity to do just that. Since then I have collected more of their CD's so I have even more. But this is ideal for INXS fans who are more than casual fans and want more of what they have to offer without having to buy all of their CDs, which by the way wouldn't be a bad move either. My personal favorites on this set are The One Thing, I Send a Message, Burn for You, Kiss the Dirt, Disappear, Bitter Tears, Taste It, Beautiful Girl, The Strangest Party and Elegantly Wasted. Although there are over 40 songs on here from the very early days to their last album in 1997. The very first song, Simple Simon is a fun song to listen to.
INXS surely deserves this 2 disc compilation, after all their career spanned almost 20 years at the time of Michael Hutchence's death, which in itself is a real shame. How I wish he was still with us. This anthology is dedicated to him, and there is a nice booklet containing the story of INXS told by the band members themselves to a journalist who was writing a review which is an interesting read. There are also little snippets of information about each song, plus lots of pictures of the band, including some early ones that are fun to see. All in all, if you are a fan of INXS, casual or big, get this collection, it's about as complete as it gets. |
