Of particular note on the EW cd are the tracks: "I'm Just a Man," "Don't Lose Your Head," "She Is Rising," and "Building Bridges." :) No seriously, this is very good pop/rock album, lot of catchy songs (like "Elegantly Wasted" or "Girl On Fire") and above it all Michael Hutchence's voice so natural and powerful which you can't hear so often, so sad this was his last album. He was an incredible poet with a beautifully strong and soulful voice, as well as an incomparably thrilling performer. One of my favorite album of all time.

Each is haunting, sophisticated, funky, heartfelt, and intensely soulful. I would like to know who the idiot was that gave this a half a star, they must not have listened to the album. Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO THIS SONG. It's really an excellent album. I own back-up copies of each because I am truly addicted to the sounds and lyrics of both.

I remember when they're greatest hits album came out and it was several years before this was released and met with mixed reviews. Searching is one of the most personal songs I have ever heard. On second listening however all of a sudden the album just 'clicked' with me and now I really love it. Elegantly Wasted is truly one of the best albums INXS put out, easily their best since Kick. Not their most popular, savaged by critics back in '97 and fans were indifferent to it. It is worth it. I have most of the other INXS albums though, so I was very curious to listen to this one for the first time. This was a better album then Full Moon Dirty Hearts, They were really coming back together on this album. Their last effort before frontman Michael Hutchence's tragic death, 1997's Elegantly Wasted, is no different.

We can also do what we did back then and slobber at the sight of the hot chick who elegantly graces the cover of this most elegantly flawed of recordings. But the truth is, their later albums hid some of their best work, and most underrated gems. I disagree with Simony who slates this album and has given it a measly 1 star. The public was into the rap-rock thing and there was no place on radio for their brand of pop-rock. I have to say i find it even better than Kick.
Lyrically profound, Michael tells us of his troubles but emphasizes the hope he was feeling at the time.One of the best INXS albums, that was under rated.. Get this album. It is not an exaggeration to say that both the Elegantly Wasted (EW) cd and Michael's solo cd have had a deeply profound effect on me.

Los años habian pasado y habia otros grupos mas nuevos , mas jovenes y mas "cool" pero a nivel musical este Elegantly wasted de INXS es de lo mejorcito que ha sacado el grupo , creo que mejor que otros discos que aparecen aqui mejor valorados , y se puede escuchar practicamente del tiron , cosa poco habitual en muchos discos de buenos grupos.Besides the Kick album from 1987, Elegantly Wasted is the only album that I would rate a solid 5 out 5 stars.
So good. Elegantly Wasted is truly one of the best albums INXS put out, easily their best since Kick. Kick will always be the seminal album as they became one of the biggest bands in the world as a result.

The Swing (album No 4) is one of by favourites. Unfortunately for Michael Hutchence and INXS, this album suffered from bad timing. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. As much as I love his other albums with INXS (e.g., Kick, X, Listen Like Thieves, The Swing, and Shabooh Shoobah), I think EW surpasses them. Infravalorado en mi opinion.
