(1993)"Welcome to Wherever You Are" is an
album by theAustralia nrock and roll groupINXS , released in1992 . Withgrunge music and alternative music breaking into the mainstream, INXS tried to establish a new direction for itself, à laU2 and "Achtung Baby ," incorporatingsitar s, a 60-piece orchestra, and a much more "raw" sound to their music. In its four star review of the album,Q Magazine called it "...a far more engaging and heartfelt collection than anything the group has put out in recent memory...It rocks..." and listed it as one of the 50 Best Albums of 1992.Ultimately, however, with lack of promotion by their label and the band not touring for the album (they wanted a break), the record failed to match the success of INXS's two previous albums, "Kick" and "X," however it still reached #1 in the UK, but the band's popularity soon waned .
In 2002, a remastered version of the album was released that included five previously unreleased tracks.
