What Are You Listening To?

[CRAZY-HORSE]

INXS  "full moon, dirty hearts"  vinyl  1993

from Lynne's vinyl collection
their nineth of ten with Hutchence on vocals
a heavier grungy sound on this one than one would expect from the band
opening track has a Midnight Oil vibe
second track has a Rolling Stones vibe
third has a generic garage rock vibe
INXS sounding fourth track then the fifth has a funky vibe with mainly spoken vocals
sixth track has a Stones vibe again and so on
so not really a real INXS album, theyre just grunging up their sound
the sixth track features Ray Charles on vocals and they follow that with a sultry Chrissie Hynde duet 
to be honest i think they had nowhere to go, no vision with this one
even the slower songs seem to go nowhere and theyre usually my faves by the band
as a footnote,
when Hutchence presented Oasis with the 'best new band' award at the Brits the following year Noel Gallagher said "has-beens should not present awards to gonna-bees", judging by this album i get the sentiment of his remark (but do not condone the arrogance in it!)
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

fav is the unlikely duet with Ray Charles
