4.0 out of 5 stars Their Super Hits, November 18, 2005

This review is from: Super Hits (Audio CD)

While this CD may not be the ultimate, it does give you Men At Work's top 5 hits (Who Can It Be Now?, Down Under, Be Good Johnny, Overkill, It's a Mistake), 1 more fantastic track from their "Business As Usual" album (Down By The Sea), and 2 great tracks from their "Two Hearts" album (Maria, Man With Two Hearts). Unfortunately it also includes 1 mediocre track (Everything I Need) and 1 extremely questionable track (Sail To You--why is this on here???).

I purchased this CD after I purchased "The Essential Men At Work" because even though I love the boys from "Down Under", all of the mediocre filler tracks on that CD and the other longer MAW compilations were just tiresome to listen to (I mean, really!...they only had three albums!).

So if you're looking for MAW's biggest hits and a few other great songs without having to skip through half the CD, pick this one up.

3.0 out of 5 stars Poor representation of songs, July 23, 2009

While it's true this set features the five most popular songs from the Australian group, the overemphasis on the groups third album Two Hearts is disappointing. "Everything I need" was a chart single, and both "Maria" and "Man with Two Hearts" received airplay. Pick one of those and drop "Sail to You" to make more room for songs from Cargo or Business as Usual.

In particular, the top 40 single "Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Jive" from Cargo is missing from this set, along with Business at Usual's other airplay single "Underground."

The first two Men at Work albums are deep enough that even casual fans should consider buying both albums or sticking to downloading the hit singles, ultimately making a poor compilation such as this one less than idea for either audience.

I know many reviewers aren't crazy about this greatest hits compilation due to its brevity. On the contrary, I think its the best single disc Men At Work collection out there for the casual fan looking for the greatest concentration of the hits that they know and love. I converted my cassette collection to CDs last year and thought it would be a good move to see if I could get one greatest hits collection CD to replace my Business As Usual, Cargo, and Two Hearts cassettes. This Super Hits CD was the only single disc collection that had all of my favorite songs from these three cassettes. So I bought it and love it!
