Their most under rated album
Before that breakthrough came 3 prior albums but none containing the stride they hit from front to back as they did on "Shabooh Shoobah". Once INXS landed with "Kick" they were known musically throughout the world, and many fans followed them thereafter. This album flows beautifully from track to track and contains zero filler. It may not be their widest known album, but it remains one of their best. .


25 Years Later and it's still a gem!
S. INXS storm the U. with this release. OK, maybe not storm but this was the breakthrough that created the buzz on college playlists nationwide. To me, it is still their best effort. Shabooh Shoobah lays the foundation for what is to come. Whereas later releases such as KICK and X pushed them more into the mainstream with their chart topping singles and established them as a songwriting machine, SHABOOH SHOOBAH was simply a deeper and more creative release. One spin of this classic and you'll instantly be taken back to the innocent years of INXS. Each track is a classic in itself. The ONE THING and DON'T CHANGE are the standout hits but Black & White, To Look At You, Jan's Song and the others stand the test of time.

If you don't have it, get it. I NEED YOU TONIGHT may have been the breakthrough song that established them as worldwide superstars but I think they all sound dated with a later listen. Pop on Shabooh Shoobah. It's timeless. .


Shabooh Shoobah Definitely Worth Buying
And then, I decided to check out some of their earlier music. I had actually bought Listen Like Thieves first. Shabooh Shoobah was the second cassette I bought. And, was I glad I did. I think Don't Change is the best song on here. The One Thing, and Black and White, are great also, as well as To Look At You. Michael's timeless voice, as well as the bands great sound, are one reason why you should add this to your collection.


they didn't save their best for last
if ever a 24 year old release screamed to be remixed for the digital age this is it. it's right here on this CD . WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN DONE.
As a drummer, I find this record to be just fascinating. The One Thing? I usually skip it and start with 'to look at you' . Old world new world is just scintillating. tell me you expected those last two bass notes to hit you when they did.
This is brilliant music, they just obviously put so much thought into these arrangements . the passion just oozes from this record.

all the critics went wild over 'men at work' back in 82, but truth be told, this is a better album. I just wish they'd remix it. .


never too early
the inxs sound was startin' to take shape that would latter come up with a handful of classic albums "kick" "x" "elagantly wasted"
like another reviewer quoted "this is where my obession with inxs started" and i can't agree anymore this a monsterous album with the hooks and lines to sink a giantatic fish
this album spewned two hit singles "the one thing" "don't change" both of the songs have classic video's with hutchence
perfecting his good looks and charisma that is relivent in the live perfomance that were too follow
this album features a classic under-rated track "golden playpen"
it's a wonderful track with a edge.
michael hutchence and co start to let the world hear the sound that would rule the airways for the next 13 years
