ive recently posted both "listen like thieves" (2.4) and "kick" (1.9) so i wont be returning to those as part of this series so on with the listens:

INXS "X" vinyl 1990
from Lynne's vinyl collection
their seventh studio album.
the X refers to "10" roman numerals, in this case the 10 is for 10 years since their debut album
so on with the album
there are some rocking tracks on here, some softer moments and a couple of funky sounds also similar to those by Prince, namely on "know the difference" and "who pays the price" but i do not like those two named tracks
love the use of harmonica on here which helps give the sound a slightly new sound also
personally i have never been a fan of "suicide blonde" but after two listens of the album i found it to be a very good album opening track and sums up the vibe of the album really well
and as always i feel theres a fair bit of filler on their albums which is a shame because when they are good they are very good IMO
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite:
side 1:
