"Business As Usual" is the debut album by the Australian new wave band Men At Work, which was originally released in 1981 and became one of the most successful international albums by an Australian group. It spent an unprecedented 15 weeks at number 1 on the US Billboard 200 from fall 1982 to spring 1983.The album also stayed at number 1 on the UK album charts for a total of five weeks. "Business As Usual" was also one of the best-selling albums of the early 1980s, with six million copies in the US alone and a total of 15 million albums sold worldwide.The first single "Who Can It Be Now?" Was a strong top three hit single, but the second single, "Down Under", was a monster hit and reached first place in various charts around the world.Reviews"That was not just New Wave at the top of the box, it was pure zeitgeist in terms of sound. This was supported by the clean guitars that managed without any distortion, the frequently used saxophone, which was currently experiencing a renaissance across all styles, and the spartan synthesizer sequences. Because these." Type of New Wave was recorded extremely transparently and the instruments stood on an equal footing, a vinyl version is definitely recommended for full listening pleasure.
