INXS Full Moon, Dirty Hearts

3 Stars - [INXS] has tried to sand off the glossy pop veneer they've borne since the mid-'80s, when KICK (not to mention MTV) catapulted them into the dance-rock stratosphere...."
"...FULL MOON DIRTY HEARTS is full of killer hooks. There's something in nearly every song that jumps out at you - propulsive drum attacks, jabbing bass lines, and, above all, flashes of lightning-sharp melody..." - Rating: B
4 Stars - Excellent - "...[FULL MOON is] tougher-sounding and more aggressive than anything previously bearing [INXS'] name...it's still got weird corners and makes the best job yet of capturing the vitality of INXS' live performance..."
"...[on FULL MOON, DIRTY HEARTS] INXS haven't abandoned their R&B roots....INXS have paid their dues; their still-intact lineup remains tight..."
