The Fixx - Ink. (1991)

Posted By: Designol

Date: 1 Feb 2025 15:43:57

Ink is the sixth studio album by British new wave band the Fixx, released in 1991. The single, "How Much Is Enough?", reached No. 11 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and No. 10 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Returning to MCA after a brief detour on RCA, the Fixx resumed recording after a three-year hiatus following the release of Calm Animals with 1991's Ink. Essentially, Ink is Calm Animals with a stronger dance-rock backbeat and even fewer memorable songs. Unsurprisingly, the effort bombed upon its release, and the Fixx drew to a close shortly afterward. Ink may not have been a graceful way to bow out, yet it does offer ample evidence that the group had run out of ideas.
