This is 80s pop rock at its best, You could confuse this album with a 'Best Of' with so many recognizable hit songs (5 top 10 hits) , There really isn't a bad song on this album, 'Never Tear Us Apart', 'Mystify', 'Kick' and 'Need You Tonight' still sound fresh and new over 20 years later , Hutchence vocal performances really stand out alongside good (sometimes cheesy) melodies and hooks, Its superb, from start to finish and one of the best albums from the 80's however just falls short of being labelled a true classic for me

8.3/10

Was on last night mate about 9 - 10pm I think, very Interesting too, think it was channel 4, basically went through the last few weeks of his life and how they reckon he died etc. Was good, as is this album. !

And I think all the disgraceful bollocks in the media surrounding the circumstances of his death, we dealt with...

A guy in a very dark place, laced with alcohol & drugs and unable to cope.... Nothing more

Happy memories of shagging a big titted bird to this in Tenerife in the late 80's. He also goes up in my estimation because of his tireless work in converting Kylie to the dark side thus reducing that twat Donovan to a junkie wreck.

Bummed her on an aeroplane? My mate at school despised INXS and fancied the pants off Kylie.

Which was presumably sparked by another recent close knit drug related incidence
