About this album
Listen Like Thieves is the album that pushed INXS from promising Australian exports to global pop-rock contenders. Released in 1985, it sharpened the band’s new wave and synth-pop roots into a tighter, more radio-ready sound, led by Michael Hutchence’s commanding vocal presence and the group’s keen sense of rhythm and melody. With Hugh Padgham producing, the album delivered standout singles such as What You Need and the title track, helping establish INXS as one of the era’s most commercially successful and durable acts. It became an important step towards the bigger international breakthrough that would follow.
