 the original songs are still good, two new ones are horrible
Be ready to hit the skip button to get past certain songs that were inserted on the CD for some unfathomable reason. The original songs from the 80's are still good.

 Kick in the pants
Kick came out when i was in my late teens. I loved all the songs played on the radio so much, i decided to purchase the CD. I have to say honestly that, except for the hit songs, i really didn't care much for the rest of them.

If it didn't have so many hits, i would have given it 3 stars. Still, wonderful to go back to and listen to those great songs. March 8, 2008

 Good old Aussie rock
Liked this album in the early nineties. Had it on tape and now just recently replaced it with cd from Amazon. Good price. October 14, 2007

 Michael Hutchence R.I.P.
Kick is one of the best rock/new wave albums ever made. It brings a tear to my eye to listen to this album now and think of the passing of one of rock's greatest front men, Michael Hutchence. He should have been making great music now, instead of going out at such a young age. Hutchence had charisma, he had style, he had flash, he had an awesome voice. Let's all salute the guy.

My favorite tracks on the album are: Calling All Nations, Devil Inside, and Guns in the Sky. Pretty much every song is good, if not great. This was the culmination of years of touring and songwriting. These Aussie rockers really rock! They know how to make good music. A bit more pop-ish than Midnight Oil, they had their own distinctive style and their own greatness.

R.I.P. Michael. We will always remember you! February 17, 2007

 Classic 80's Rock/Pop Art From Down Under!!
Let me just add in my little two cents and
overstate the obvious to say that this 1987 album
and the one released before it,
1985's "Listen Like Thieves", were then and are still
absolute pop / rock masterworks!
I miss Michael Hutchence as front man so much!
He had it all!...The swagger, the energy, the charisma, etc.!!

Though the guys have moved on now, and the new guy has
great vocal chops, I'm sure they as well as us die hard
glory days INXS fans will never forget the true chemistry
that Michael Hutchence brought to the game!
Every song on "KICK" and "Listen Like Theives" is still
the bomb and takes me back to my early 20's and hearing
these songs for the first time!
If you don't already have them, get 'em!! January 23, 2007
