Title: Good rock asunder, came from down under
Product review: Led by lazy-eyed frontman Colin Hay, Men at Work is to Australia's popular music as "Mad Max" is to Australian film--about as good as it gets. They rock by way of Sting and the Police, with less-obvious reggae influences, less grit, more humility (and kook), and more showmanship (i.e. a few too many keyboards). But they rock well, very well, even, most of the time. Hay's lyrics are pointed, impressive, almost poignant on "I Can See It in Your Eyes." Bandmembers Greg Ham, who plays the woodwinds and brass instruments (!), and Ron Strykert, the guitarist, contribute similarly effective songs. Hay's meandering, nonsensical "Catch a Star" isn't worth much, but don't underestimate the value of the rest of it.
