Men At Work - Cargo

Cargo, the sophomore album by Australian rock band Men at Work, arrived on April 29, 1983, building on the success of their breakout debut, Business as Usual. This collection blends new wave, pop, and rock with catchy melodies, all delivered by Colin Hay's instantly recognizable vocals.

Showcasing the band's songwriting talents and musical range, Cargo features a mix of upbeat and melodic tracks that explore themes of social commentary and Australian identity, often with a lighthearted and humorous touch. Commercially, Cargo followed in the footsteps of its predecessor, achieving 3X certification by the RIAA and performing well on the Billboard charts. It peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, becoming their second consecutive top-five album in the US. The album's lead single, "Overkill," was a major hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while "It's a Mistake" also found success on the charts.
