I finally bought this on cd after owning the vinyl back when the album was originally released in 1985. I thought it was amazing back then and time has certainly not done it any damage. In fact now that the singles aren't rammed down your throat by radio stations, a fresh listen after many years has confirmed for me at least, that this is as a great a pop-rock album as any I've ever heard. The production is crystal-clear and the songs flow perfectly in the order they're listed.....seriously perfect!
It's very hard for me to highlight individual tracks although I will point out a track with a driving beat that I couldn't understand why it wasn't a single - Same Direction.
I can't paint a better picture than I've already painted about this album. All I can do is (VERY) highly recommend it.
The only thing I don't understand and annoys me a little with this remaster is that there were no extras included. What You Need was also released as an extended remixed 12" vinyl single that used to be played in nightclubs back then. At least that track could have been included as an extra. It still won't annoy me enough to drop its star-rating though.
Give it a listen and see what you think.

For me, this is the first top notch INXS album. I can't call it a great album, because while I think side one (i.e. everything up to 'good and bad times") is all killer stuff, there's a couple of fillers on two. However, it's got to be worth the full five stars for the opneing three track salvo alone, which combines the three elements that made INXS a great band: funky songs about sex/desire ('What You Need") all out rockers which sort of hint at grandeur and social concerns ('LIsten like Thieves") and wholly original sounding songs that mixed tender moments and vaguely spiritual yearnings with rock ("Falling down the Mountain").
The remastering job makes it all sound fresh, and existing fans shouldn't hesitiate to make the investment all over again.
