INXS – Kick [Limited Edition, Rocktober, 180g Black Vinyl LP]

Description

Built from guitar hooks, dance-rock rhythm, and Michael Hutchence’s vocal command, INXS’s Kick turned the Australian band into a global rock act. The album moves between club-ready singles and arena-sized choruses, giving “Need You Tonight,” “New Sensation,” “Devil Inside,” and “Never Tear Us Apart” a shared identity without making them sound alike. This limited Rocktober indie exclusive 180g vinyl record edition presents the album on black vinyl.

“Need You Tonight” uses a sharp guitar figure, programmed beat, and close vocal delivery to make one of INXS’s most recognizable singles feel lean, rhythmic, and instantly identifiable. “New Sensation” pushes brighter, with a bigger chorus and horn-accented momentum, while “Devil Inside” leans into darker lyrical tension and a heavier rock groove. “Never Tear Us Apart” slows the album into a dramatic ballad shaped by saxophone, strings, and one of Hutchence’s most memorable vocal performances here.

INXS make Kick work by moving between funk-influenced rhythm, pop hooks, rock guitar, and ballad writing without losing the album’s identity. “Mystify” adds another major single with a warmer melodic pull, while “Kick” and “Mediate” keep the pacing varied outside the biggest radio tracks. This Rocktober pressing is listed with a gatefold jacket and printed inner sleeve.
