Free Music Notes for The Best of Inxs
Free Music Review: Excellent INXS collection from Rhino
Hit: 5 Stars
It hasn't been that many years since the death of singer Michael Hutchence and his band INXS is already in the Rhino catalog. Rhino has presented a somewhat different collection of tracks than the previous hits collection offered by INXS' previous major recording label. Singles of several of INXS' biggest hits are here along with some remix version tracks. There are some tracks I would like to have seen added, such as Elegantly Wasted, Shine Like It Does, and Guns In The Sky, but overall this albums covers all the hits and most memorable INXS songs. INXS blended rock, funk, blues, soul, and new wave dance styles over the years into memorable modern pop hits. Their hits continue to be sampled by rap and dance DJs, and INXS songs stands up well in comparison to current popular music. For a collection of INXS songs or to review the career of Australia's most popular rock/pop export, this album is highly recommended.Free Music Review: The Essence Of INXS
Hit: 5 Stars
It's true that INXS made three great studio albums in KICK, X, and WELCOME TO WHEREVER YOU ARE, but THE BEST OF INXS contains the true essence of the band's appeal. That's because they were primarily a great 80s singles band; even the aforementioned studio albums contained a bit of filler. Their sound basically distilled 70s rock, new wave, R&B, and funk/disco into an appealing blend that was best heard on singles. This compilation is better than GREATEST HITS because it includes the hard rocker "Don't Change", which was not on GREATEST HITS, and it tells the story better than the double-disc ANTHOLOGY, which, unfortunately, starts off with some awkward early synth-pop. Unless you're a true fan or were a teenager (like myself) in the late 80s, this may be all the INXS you'll ever need.Free Music Review: Awesome Collection!
Hit: 5 Stars
Thank goodness for this new CD! This is far superior to the "Greatest Hits" collection that came out many years ago. This has a much better package overall, nice pictures, great quotes from each of the band members, overall a fitting tribute to one of my favorite bands in the world. And a better track listing, not to mention. How can you have a greatest hits package without "Don't Change"! The remastering on the songs make them sound better than ever. If you're an INXS fan like me, throw out your "Greatest Hits" (probably pictured directly to the left) with the pseudo-Michael on the front (no, that's not him...) and replace it with this awesome collection. And don't forget the amazing reissues of "X," "Kick," and "Welcome To Wherever You Are" that just came out too...Free Music Review: Dollars and (common) cents.
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm going to rate this CD based on a $1 per song cost to total cost for the entire CD (Apple and Rhapsody charge $1 per song).
I never owned a thing by INXS my entire life. But I know 14 great songs on this CD just from my exposure to radio and MTV (when they played music videos). The total cost of the CD on Amazon is $11 making it a truly worthwhile purchase. Songs: Need you tonight, What you need, New sensation, One thing, Disappear, Never tear us, Mystify, This time, Suicide Blonde, Beautiful girl, Devil Inside, Bitter tears, Not enough time, Tight.
It's ashame Micheal Hutchence is gone. Like Lennon, Hendrix and Morrison before him, who knows what music would be like today if they were still alive.
Hope this helps.

Free Music Review: THE best single disc collection!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a huge improvement over the "Greatest Hits" disc. Not only does it have 5 more tracks, but 3 of those are "This Time", "Bitter Tears", and "Not Enough Time", which were sorely missed on the other one. Yes, there is the 2-disc anthology which is great, but that is expensive, and this "Best of" does have the best of that. I could complain about it being in non-chronological order, or missing another key track or two, but overall this is an excellent collection that will go great with your "U2", "Cure", and "Midnight Oil" cd's.
