Free Music Review: You are my thing
Hit: 4 Stars
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.
Shine Like It Does - The Anthology (1979-1997) Poster
Overshadowed by the tabloid exploits and the untimely death of singer Michael Hutchence as well as some rock-of-the-'80s pigeonholing, the legacy of Australia's INXS gets a well-deserved burnishing on this 42-track double-disc anthology. Like all great musicians, the members of INXS were unafraid to pay tribute to their roots, a sensibility that in their case gave as much due to Chic and '70s disco as it did to traditional blues-rock. Spanning the band's obscure new wave debut single, early album tracks, and a wealth of hits from "The One Thing" to "Bitter Tears," this set underscores those roots and the steadfast personal interplay and musical devotion that characterized the band. Hired-hagiographer David Fricke tells their story (with candid comments from the surviving players) in concise fashion while keyboardist and guitarist Andrew Farriss breaks the songs down in his track-by-track commentary. But it's the music here that does most of the talking, offering up a decade's worth of blood, sweat, and hits, as well as music infused with some previously underexposed creative and personal restlessness, particularly in the closing tracks. --Jerry McCulleyAlternative Rock Music CDs
