Max Q

Michael Hutchence described the album’s creation in an interview: “It was really fast, you know, it was just enthusiasm – it was just, ‘Let’s do this, let’s do this’ – and [Olsen] wanted to make the new Thriller and I wanted to make something a bit more left, you know? [laughs]. So these two strange ideas got together… With Max Q, we didn’t really know what monster we were making, you know what I mean? We were just gonna see what happened by the end. See, with INXS, it’s a little bit more worked out than that.”
