Every one of the singles on this album is so huge! "Tiny Daggers" is sort of the odd one out, but it's really good, too. Still voted Guns in the Sky, cuz they want to put GUNS in the SKY!?!?!?!

And Need You Tonight/Mediate always get played together, don't they?

the definitive revisionist INXS essay still needs to be written.

only if they're being played off the album, cos the one goes into the other innit

INXS - Classicking or Dudding?

I wish I could find dave q's little write-up on Guns In The Sky, he makes it sound like some real avant shit

oh, sorry, it's "da da da"
When I saw them live way back when, they had an intermission in the middle of Never Tear Us Apart - it was like ten minutes, and then the srings and the drums came back in - doo doo DOO dooo....I was like 11, it was awesome
Haven't read dave q's piece, but, for an opening tune, Guns In The Sky IS quite insane.

What a cool fucking way to go about an intermission. I'm serious.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 14 September 2007 16:23 (sixteen years ago) link
there better be a combined 0 votes for the fucking b-side of this album. Most top-heavy LP in history.
Aside from "Never Tear Us Apart," of course.

Don't dismiss "Mystify" and "Calling All Nations" so quick.

Guns In The Sky IS quite insane.
This would sound totally at home mixed with Mark Stewart & the Mafia.

Side 2 is fine, dude - "Mystify" is one of my favorites. But yeah, the rest is kinda meh, I guess. Even "Wild Life" (which, if I remember right, ends side 1) is pretty dull. God how the hell do I remember this shit?

"Need You Tonight" may be close to the only INXS track worth voting for at all.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Hmm. Even though I voted for Never Tear Us Apart, I rather wish New Sensation had won rather than the bare bones nothingness of Need You Tonight.
― Bimble, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 01:25 (sixteen years ago) link
New Sensation still gives me goose pimples.
― Bimble Is Still More Goth Than You, Monday, 28 July 2008 00:50 (fifteen years ago) link
Honestly, how could it be anything other than "New Sensation"?
Seriously OTM. New Sensation forgives a lot of sins.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 28 July 2008 00:54 (fifteen years ago) link
That's it! It forgives the sins! Totally, man. Cause it's like...I mean I'm an atheist, but the whole song is like this sermon.

Does anyone know the story of why Michael Hutchence says "Trumpet!" right before the sax solo in "New Sensation"?

"guns in the sky" is so dope, it's like the gangsta rap album intro of inxs songs

everytime i played that tape in the car w/ the fam i'd always have to suddenly cough loudly over the 'it's a load of shit' part
