Men at Work

Hey, it's the guys from Down Under!

"Business as Usual"

  1. "Who Can it Be Now?" (3:25)
  2. "I Can See it in Your Eyes" (3:32)
  3. "Down Under" (3:45)
  4. "Underground" (3:07)
  5. "Helpless Automation" (3:23)
  6. "People Just Love to Play with Words" (3:33)
  7. "Be Good Johnny" (3:39)
  8. "Touching the Untouchables" (3:41)
  9. "Catch a Star" (3:31)
  10. "Down by the Sea" (6:53)

This album was a smash hit, and earned the band a Grammy for Best New Artist. The first five songs are the best, showing off the quirkiness that made them popular. After that it gets kinda boring. Of course, the Australian tourist bureau had to use a HORRIBLE re-recording of "Down Under" in their ads!

"Cargo"

  1. "Dr. Heckyll & Mr. Jive" (4:38)
  2. "Overkill" (3:46)
  3. "Settle Down My Boy" (3:30)
  4. "Upstairs in My House" (4:02)
  5. "No Sign of Yesterday" (6:15)
  6. "It's a Mistake" (4:33)
  7. "High Wire" (3:02)
  8. "Blue for You" (3:55)
  9. "I Like To" (4:03)
  10. "No Restrictions" (4:31)

I actually like this one better than their debut, mostly because the non-quirky songs ("Overkill", "No Sign of Yesterday", etc.) are actually quite pretty to listen to. Hey, remember the video for "It's a Mistake" where the general accidentally stubs his cigar out on the nuclear-launch button? Too funny...
