The album may have charted in the Top 5 in the UK, but it received terrible reviews and ultimately crashed and burned. My personal feeling is that there is nothing wrong with the album, but the audience was at saturation point. In 4 years of the 90s, INXS fans had been inundated with INXS albums: X, Live Baby Live, Welcome to Wherever You Are and now Full Moon, Dirty Hearts. Musically the band were moving on, but they had hardly toured (given the reduced audience of the Get Out of the House tour and 1992s year out) and audiences were not given a chance to move with the band. Fans may not have been buying albums, but they were still queuing up for concerts. And the management was still releasing albums. In 1994 the band embarked on the Dirty Honeymoon tour and released a Greatest Hits CD. Australian fans were rewarded with a bonus disk, All Juiced Up, which included nine remixes of classic songs like Devil Inside. The Strangest Party (These Are The Times) was used in the closing scene and for the credits on Sandra Bullocks movie The Net.
