Comments for Men At Work, Business As Usual

THE TRACK `DOWN UNDER` IS A MAD PARTY SONG.

Down By The Sea is one of the most relaxing songs ever made. You can close your eyes and get lost in this song

Actual length is more like 38:35 In fact that is exactly what it is.

who?

A white-reggae/rock album by a tight 5-piece who were the best of their kind in Australia: features good use of saxophone and flute. A great band who produced two good albums before being torn apart by bitter internal divisions. In Australia they wrote the anthems of an era, Ian Thomas, IANT@SWIN.EDU.AU

Men At Work's "Business As Usual" is the greatest album of all time. There is not one song to be skipped on this entire album! "Down Under" is the best song in the history of rock!

I picked this one up for fifty cents (along with CARGO) and I certainly must agree that Men At Work was pure musical genius, not professional genius, though, since their solo careers don't seem to have picked up here in the States.

I think the release date was more like 1983 than 81 but that withstanding this is one of the finest pre-alternative albums ever put out. Whatever became of Ron Stryker (guitar) or Greg Ham (sax)?

Very good debut album. I saw them on tour and they were very entertaining. I believe that Greg Ham is a musician in Australia while I understand that Ron Strykert is not involved with performing anymore. A television show not too long ago mentioned how everyone was doing.

to clear up on the some of the comments above me I am looking at the lp right now the release date and copyright was in 1982 the album was made in '81

My name is galen. This album is great. I run the Colin Hay/Men At Work home page at: http://weber.u.washington.edu/~hari/

This truely was a brilliant piece that has stood the test of time.

Comments as those directly above. If your a collector of MAW/CH please email me.

I saw a Melbourne, Australia band called, 'FROST' they had Jerry Speiser (Men AT Work) in the band. I though the songs are great! They also recorded songs for an Australian TV Station.

Success is measured not by the position that one has reached in life, but by the obstacles he has overcome while trying to succeed..This was how Colin,Jerry,John,Ron and Greg did before the launching of this album .An album finely crafted.

There are very few works of genius in most Australian rock albums,but this one is thrilling,amazing,moving and mostly full of Colinean songwriting masterpieces.

This is one hell of an album! oftenly imitated but never duplicted... blood pumping,nerve wacking, bone breaking, hair raising,eye popping soundtracks! these dudes invaded u.s. and saved Oz rock

Truly the bestselling most enduring songwritters of all time,intellingently made,an album performed by extreme musicians. "To be a really good performer,make sure your ego is not the center" Jerry Speiser the drummer boss of Oz

It's a hole in one kinda of success album..if you don't have one, you will not know what's cool...do the Maw..WOW MAW!

Yeah man oh man..It's a thundering album..lots of slamming chart busting,record breaking soundtracks..In your face slam! I like it!

Colin Hay has creativity in his nerves and poetry in his blood.I love all the hits in this album..

This album will cost you the night and the cold hours of the morning,it grabs the listener by the throat and never lets go

No quiche and white wine here, just USDA GRADE A prime blood rare. When it comes to robust two fisted album of grandiose dimension. Business as usual is it! The one that never lets you down. The most refreshing soundtracks around.

Colin doesn't disappoints his listeners,has in abundance the most precious gift a writer can have. The abililty to hook the listener and keep him hooked till the last soundtrack.

Great tunes and sounds from these super talented guys.This is the album of the 80's.John is a great bassist, Jerry a super drummer,Colin and Ron best strummers,greg the hooter.

Cool dudes..cool music the band is men at work..love you guys

The one and only greatest band of Oz

One of the best,sustained,satisfying twist,beautifully executed who dun it.Impeccable real thriller.Colin,Ron and Greg are impressive song writers.

A bestseller,chartbuster quality that many imitate and few master.Legions of MAW fans sent it soaring high the best seller list.

Indespensable companion to such favorite chartbusters as the cargo and two hearts,a roaring ride on a roller coaster of excitement.Great astonishing.

1982 grammy best new artist and america's topten and billboards invasion? double achivement,doubly remarkable.A powerful album,a monumental chart buster.

Colin has a natural talent for writing songs but his awesome singing and guitar strumming talents cannot be overshadowed.Love, belief and friendship is what this album is all about.

Colin's unique style of creating a fusion of different musical genres and making it his own has won him much praise in the industry and fans accross the globe.recorded almost ten albums and continues to inspire and move audiences with his popular original melodies,like Down under and Who can it be now?

Think of standard reggae punk jazz with a twist of blues,a voice that resonates accross the board,and a sweet touch of magic and you might come close to the marvel that's Colin and this great bestseller like novel album.

The MAW have generated a loyal fan base that cannot get enough of their great talents and magnetic stage presence.This album and Cargo have been played on popular radio stations around the world,They are songwriters and performers to reckon with

Finely polished masterpieces.This album is the best of the 80's. Down Under is a finely crafted soundtrack.

Who can it be now? is the best Australian export to U.K. No other Aussie rock have matched up to now. Not INXS not Midnight oil or psuedo echo.

Down under is a superb soundtrack,liked the way Greg played the flute and Jerry pounded the drums ,it's a very cool tune.

Down under and Who can it be now? drives me crazy everytime I hear these soundtracks.

These mates have tons and tons of talents.love the drums and bass in this albums

Down under is the coolest soundtrack of the 80's.I Liked the way the instruments were played.

If you're looking for a witty and nutty album,filled with cool tunes.This is the one

WOW OH WOW. DOWM UNDAH IS THE ONE!

UH AHHHHHH...UMMM AHHHH. Be good John Rees...HA HA

Touching the untouchables,Catch a star, and Down by the sea are the relaxing soundtracks, truly the masterpieces of MAW

Down by the sea is my favorite,I sing it most of times during jam sessions.

Down by the sea a soundtrack full of senses,intelligently written.

Truly the best rock album of Oz...Source of inspiration of the bands INXS,Midnight oil,Savage garden,Ice house,Psuedo echo and Frost. Colin you are the king of Oz rock and roll.
