In 1981, the world of music was ripe for a takeover by a band like Men At Work. With New Wave on the rise, as well as MTV, along with an apparently bubbling fascination with all things Australian, these guys were in the exact right place at the exact right time, and their debut album, Business As Usual, became a huge hit. These from nowhere guys won the hearts and turntables of the world, and even won the Grammy for Best New Artist. Quirky and fun, Men At Work was, for a pair of albums, highly successful. On Business As Usual, they made their mark on the strength of three fine singles. “Who Can It Be Now” introduced the band to the world with a spiky saxophone intro by Greg Ham, and the slightly paranoid sounding blip in the vocals of Colin Hay worked perfectly. “Be Good Johnny” updates the rock and roll world of Chuck Berry quite nicely, with a nifty chorus that somehow makes “Be good, be good” repeated over and over a catchy thing.

But the song that really made Men At Work the stars they were is “Down Under”. It taught us not only how catchy the Men could be, but it also introduced us to the wonders of Vegamite. These three tracks are as good as anything released in the early part of the eighties, and they would continue with about the same level of success on their next album, Cargo, before suddenly slipping into 80’s band oblivion. As for the rest of Business As Usual, it’s surprisingly, compared to the three better tracks, bland. Well crafted and well played filler, but filler nonetheless. But listenable. Ultimately, this is a good, not great album…the best way to experience Men At Work is on a hits compilation that allows you to skip over a lot of the lesser material they recorded. The last four songs are bonus tracks: two are B sides to singles from the album, and the live tracks are from a 1998 live album. These guys are fun, but the fun does start to wear thin over the course of an entire album.

Neil Finn was a member of Split Enz, and was the driving force of Crowded House…a giant of the music of New Zealand. Following up his solo debut album, Try Whistling This, Finn released One Nil in 2001. Over a year later, the album was released in the United States as One All, with a different track listing and four of the tracks in remixed versions. Unlike Try Whistling This, One All is a very safe album, taking very few chances which makes it ultimately less memorable. Although the album did reach number one in Finn’s home country, it was less successful elsewhere in the world, including the US, where it had been hoped that the remixed tracks would garner more attention. As is the norm for a Finn project, the songwriting is excellent, and it’s musically sound. But ultimately, One All never rises above being just a pretty good album.

The best songs here, “Rest Of The Day Off”, “Hole In The Ice”, “Wherever You Are” and “Last To Know”, are good enough to keep things interesting, but rank below Finn’s best work. The album does have a slew of fine guest players, including Wendy And Lisa, Lisa Germano, Sheryl Crow and Mitchell Froom. But despite this, One All just never quite takes off the way Finn’s albums with Crowded House or Split Enz do. His next solo album was not released until 2014 (Dizzy Heights), but Finn stayed busy in the meantime with Crowded House, 7 Worlds Collide and Pajama Club. One Nil is not his greatest work, but if you’re a fan, it’s still well worth hearing. Finn is, even on an album that is less that amazing, a fine and very melodic songwriter, a writer of smart and catchy jangly pop rock that is never a drag. There is really no bad Neil Finn album.
