Review

INXS's sixth studio album, "Kick," dropped in 1987, and it's a clinic on mixing funk, soul, and mainstream rock. Produced by Chris Thomas and recorded in both Sydney and Paris, this album was given an extra touch of magic at AIR Studios in London. The band aimed to create potential hits with every track, and it worked like a charm. "Kick" delivered four US top 10 singles, including the smash hit "Need You Tonight."

From the funk-driven "Guns in the Sky" to the soulful "Never Tear Us Apart," the album showcases the band's versatility and knack for crafting unforgettable tunes. Michael Hutchence's magnetic vocals paired with the band's tight instrumentation make each song pop. And let's not forget the polished production—Bob Clearmountain's mixing truly brings out the best in the band's performance.

Certified six times platinum by the RIAA and hitting number three on the Billboard 200, "Kick" remains a fan favorite. Its reissues, including a remastered edition in 2011, have kept its spirit alive for new generations, cementing its status as one of the defining albums of the '80s. - Karl
