About
It would’ve been easy for Cold Chisel to build on the pop-rock success of 1980’s <i>East</i>. But with their 1982 follow-up <i>Circus Animals</i>, the group did an about-face, making ** a record that was at times aggressive (“You Got Nothing I Want”) and quasi-experimental (“Taipan”, “Numbers Fall” and “Letter to Alan”, a tribute to former roadie Alan Dallow, who passed away in a car accident). At the time, Australian rock groups such as Men At Work and INXS were receiving international attention. Chisel, however, were so angered by the lack of support from their US record label while promoting ** the more instantly palatable ** <i>East</i> that the experience inspired the title of this album—a reference to how the band felt in America when required to perform and parade for an industry that didn’t care for them—and its biting opening track, “You Got Nothing I Want”. .
