INXS - Bitter Tears
Review by Rajnish Anand
Bitter Tears is the eighth studio album by INXS, released in 1990. The album was produced by Mark Opitz and INXS and was recorded in Sydney, Australia. The album features ten tracks that showcase the band's versatility and musical range.
The album opens with "Mistify," a catchy and upbeat track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The album's title track, "Bitter Tears," is a slower, more introspective song that showcases lead singer Michael Hutchence's emotive vocals.
Other standout tracks on the album include "By My Side," a ballad that showcases the band's softer side, and "The Stairs," a funky and upbeat song that features a memorable guitar riff.

Michael, your loveliness takes all my ugliness and your tenderness takes all my bitterness.
Michael your my dad and my Champion, our Prince of Peace for eternity. "And I will raise Him up on the last day". I would love to be with you in eternity, Amen.
What a band of brothers!
When only the best will do.
