A dynamic rock recording, a new chapter for INXS, showcasing their sharp and transformative style.
The album combines edgy guitars and sophisticated production to present a sound that combines pop with a hard texture. It is a watershed album that accelerated the band's international strategy.
This album explores a new sonic contour that takes a step beyond their previous pop-oriented sound. The addition of Nick Launay and Nile Rodgers brings clarity to the rhythms and guitars, and the song structures become more intricate. "Original Sin" also garnered attention for featuring Daryl Hall on the chorus, and the album is characterized by the strong contrast of song placements. This is a memorable album that demonstrates the band's growth without losing its pop appeal.
