Two Hearts

Description

With their first two albums, "Business as Usual" and "Cargo," Men at Work took the world by storm and became one of the most popular bands of the early 1980s. The songs on "Two Hearts" are more mature and much more serious than those on their first two albums. Colin Hay's songs, such as "Man with Two Hearts," "Everything I Need," "Maria," "Children on Parade," and "Hard Luck Story," reveal a side of Hay that was not seen on the first two albums; his seriously sentimental and adult side. Greg Ham really steps forward as a songwriter this time with "Giving Up," "Stay At Home," "Snakes and Ladders," and "Still Life." Finally, "Sail to You," which was written by all three, reflects their feeling that there was still creative magic between them despite their differences. Overall, "Two Hearts" is an underrated gem of an album by Men at Work. It should also be part of every fan and music lover's library.
