"Simply, the "Definitive INXS" album includes some of the most vibrant and influential songs of their career. Although not much is heard of this band at the present time their career spanning over 25 years has become a great mixture of all the music industry has to offer. This album including the great key tracks: "Need You Tonight", "New Sensation" and "Disappear" - which truly show their style, flare and individuality - is a collection of all the truly miraculous compositions and representive of the INXS rollercoaster. Since their formation in 1979 and from their hits in Australia, America, the UK and around the world - their music has taken on a different and completely magical critical element. How does a band become truly great? No-one can quite answer this question, but platinum selling albums such as "Kick" and sell-out world tours has to be an indication that this is perhaps a major step towards this.All I have to say about this album is that it introduced me into the world of INXS and other greats - such as Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones - and for this I will be forever indebted. Buy this album if you like the greats, or if perhaps like me you seek a truly rewarding musical experience!! Enjoy!!"

"At first listen, it probably doesn't click but the smooth & subtle tones of INXS' lead singer Michael Hutchence, melts all your doubts away. The standout track is 1992's "Not Enough Time" which appears as # 32 on the compilation.
The cover is red in colour and is pretty simple with embossed diagrams of the 5 original memebers plus new singer Jon Stevens who sounds tight on new single "TIGHT". Overall an A-class effort but one should never forget the talent that was Michael Hutchence!The highlights: 7. Original Sin
13. Kiss The Dirt (Falling Down The Mountain)
14. Listen Like Thieves
16. Need You Tonight
17. Devil Inside
18. New Sensation
19. Mystify
20. Kick
21. Never Tear Us Apart
22. Suicide Blonde
25. By My Side
32. Not Enough Time
35. Time
36. Strangest Party (These Are The Times)
37. Elegantly Wasted
38. Don't Lose Your Head
39. Searching
40. Salvation Jane
41. Tight"
