5.0 out of 5 stars THE KING OF COOL IS DEAD.GOD SAVE THE KING OF COOL!!!, October 28, 1999

By A Customer

Welcome is by far the best album in the INXS collection.From the gritty sound of Heaven Sent to the sublime Men and Women this album never fails to satisfy.My only gripe is that Questions is too short.However a single version is available and well worth purchasing.Favourite track is Baby Don't Cry.I love the mix between classic Rock and the Big Band sound.It's by far the best track on the album and is best played nice and loud(especially in the car).

5.0 out of 5 stars The Critics and American Fans Dismissed This Gem., February 24, 2000

By	Jason Stein (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Believe it or not, this was the first INXS cd I bought. I have all 10 now and feel that they are one of rock's best bands. I chose this one album to highlight because I feel that the band took more risks here than on any other disc. It paid off because of the 12 tracks there are no rejects. It's a sonic masterpiece and was an abrupt change for the band. Unfortunately, the fickle American public didn't get it and the album wasn't as successful as the more popular Kick and X. However, Listen Like Thieves was a classic as well. This is where you should start though, it's a must have for any serious music fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars heaven sent, October 20, 2002

By	G. Wachman "GW" (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was struck by how many of the reviewers before me felt the same way I do about this album: it rocks! This is actually one of the first rock albums I ever heard (I was 9 at the time). So, I suppose it's entirely possible that my infatuation with it could be explained by this (like the whole maternal imprinting idea). I tend to think not, though, since I was also forced to listen to a lot of michael jackson at the time, and now I recoil every time I hear, see, or read about him.

Anyway, this album was very well done, from the writing to the performance and production. The music overflows with creative ideas from the eastern feel on "questions" to the brass on "baby don't cry", and the hints of latin on "strange desire". Additionally, INXS have perfected their original style on this album. The grooves are infectious; if you're not going crazy dancing or singing along to the music, you're without a doubt tapping your feet. Of course I need to say my bit about Michael's vocals. They're irresistable! His voice simply exudes cool on this album. Every time I listen to it I go through a short Michael-envy phase. Without a doubt, the other members' passionate performances are also critical to the essence of the album. This is a brilliant piece of music that should not be overlooked.
