Oh dear what a pile of crap [xx(] Can you imagine Tricky singing on an INXS track christ why didn't they go the whole hog and get Eminem and P Diddy as well. Instead of releasing rubbish like this they should get their fingers out and remaster their back catalogue.

LOL, totally agree. What on earth would make them want to do this? I understand they have no lead singer, but, why ruin the classic stuff w/a bunch of shit singers? At least call JD and see if he can do something with them? Im not saying he's much better though.
JD's not looking too bad right about now? I liked "Pretty Vegas", but the rest of "Switch" stunk. But, dont do this.....their label should boot them for doing this...

After releasing so many 'Best Of's...'. I suppose this was the next step.They need a strong singer/songwriter in the group to shake them up a bit.

Are they even on a label now? Sony dropped them after their last release.

Rob Thomas?!?!?!?...that is just plain wrong on so many levels. These guys must need the money bad or can't stand not having hits and record sales like they used to.. that is just awful news.

They've got so many band members, too bad none of the other guys could sing. I would have probably preferred that even if he didn't sing as good as Michael.

And not to flog a dead horse.. but how about deluxe remasters of their early work before Kick, than this Rob Thomas stupidity. Why has that not happened?

Yup
anything pre Kick, should get the same treatment ahts issues with the singles pre INXSrob some rights issues with the singles pre INXS LP. But then again prob not.
Avoid as total arse by the looks of it.
