    Considering Men At Work only had one number 1 in the UK and the other hits didn't even get in the Top 20, you would think this album would be just one hit and loads of filler. You'd be wrong. All songs are very well written and performed. I'm surprised that they didn't do better in the singles market. This album made number one in the British charts though. This is definitely a legendary album that should never be forgotten.
