Men At Work Business As Usual (Vinyl, CBS Records, 1981) ***

Places I remember: Margie's brother
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Who Can It Be Now?

Gear costume: Down Under
They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1; Part 2; Part 3; Part 4; Part 5
Active compensatory factors: This isn't an album I'd buy. I mean I enjoyed the fun mega sellers - Down Under, Be Good Johnny and Who Can It Be Now? and I liked their cheeky chappie routines (Be Good Johnny - ho ho ho) but it's all a bit fakey/ quirky new-wave-ish and lacking substance for my money.

The album is a bit light on toons like those fun mega sellers. That's a polite way of saying there is a lot of filler. Colin Hay does have an arresting voice (a bit like Sting at times) and he carries the songs for the most part.
Where do they all belong? Not an album that is destined for any extended turntable time at Wozza's place.
