Switch by INXS
Switch is an album by INXS, released in 2005. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Devil's Party”, on 1 list with a best position of #35.
Switch, INXS's eleventh studio album, came out on Epic on 29 November 2005, and it's the sound of a band trying to fill the hole Michael Hutchence left in 1997. Their first full-length album since his death, it's also the only one with J.D. Fortune, the Canadian singer the band picked on the reality TV show Rock Star: INXS. Guy Chambers produced, and the Farriss brothers, Garry Gary Beers and Kirk Pengilly lay down the familiar funk-rock strut with a glossy modern sheen.
Fortune throws everything he has at "Pretty Vegas" and "Devil's Party", and reviewers had kind words for his singing and for guest vocalists such as Suzie McNeil, his co-star on the show, even as they found the songs hit-and-miss. It still made the top 20 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US. It turned out to be their last album of all-new material.
