Welcome to Wherever You Are, INXS's eighth album, came out on 3 August 1992, and it's the sound of a stadium band deciding to mess up its hair. With grunge and alternative rock storming the mainstream, Michael Hutchence and the Farriss brothers, Andrew, Jon and Tim, along with Garry Gary Beers and Kirk Pengilly, went looking for a rawer edge, throwing in sitars and a 60-piece orchestra for good measure.
It's a restless, rough-hewn, surprisingly adventurous record, and the critics mostly dug it. It went straight in at number one in Britain, the first Australian band's album to do that since AC/DC's Back in Black, and "Not Enough Time" sat at number two on the Modern Rock chart for five weeks. But the band opted not to tour, planning to cut the next album first, and with little push from the label it faded fast and never matched Kick or X.
