Album Description:
Inxs have just released their long-awaited brand new studio album, 'switch', through epic records.'switch', the band's first studio album since the death of michael hutchence in 1997, features the band's newly appointed vocalist, canadian jd fortune.The album was produced by robbie williams' former songwriting partner guy chambers.The dual disc edition of the album contains a 25 minute 'in-the-studio' piece with the band, as well as featuring the entire album in enhanced stereo!

Amazon.com:
Switch, INXS's first release since re-fashioning itself as a prime-time reality show spectacle, could earn somebody an A in sociology. A poll of inter-generational hipsters is bound to show that the degree to which you like it correlates directly to your age. The over-30 crowd--those who once shimmied to the late Michael Hutchence's hugely sexy vocal turns on hits such as 'Need You Tonight' and 'What You Need'--might have a hard time dissing it, mainly because J.D. Fortune succeeds so unswervingly at imitating him. On the other hand... there it is: imitation doesn't always sit well with the generation that recently ripped into Paul Rodgers for parading around stages as Freddy Mercury, and as much as 30-something rock sophisticates will want to relive INXS's heyday, they'll do so suspiciously without Hutchence at the helm. Younger fans, on the other hand--the ones that discovered the band on reality TV--can enjoy J.D. Fortune and co. without reservation, and they will love this disc best. For them, 'Devil's Party' (reminiscent of 'Original Sin') will arrive without reference, thereby making near-impossible funk-rock coolness seem new. Ditto that effect on 'Pretty Vegas,' a vampy number co-written by Fortune that owes its guitar riff to 'Devil Inside.' 'Like It or Not' and 'Hot Girls,' two other standouts, also go a long way toward peeling away the poser tag Hutchence fans may want to affix to Fortune, but may not entirely remove it. For some fans, Hutchence's 'Never Tear Us Apart' plea is a personal thing. --Tammy La Gorce
