Released in October 1984, their fifth studio album, it's a dense, restless, politically alert record that marked the peak of the band's 80s art-rock era. The cover art by Japanese artist Tsunehisa Kimura depicts Sydney Harbour after a hypothetical nuclear strike, and the music inside is just as urgent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen The Generals Talk, Best Of Both Worlds, Kosciusko, Jimmy Sharman's Boxers. The album's two singles drove it up the charts while the deeper cuts showed the band stretching into new territory. Rob Hirst even takes lead vocals on two tracks, the only Midnight Oil songs he ever sang lead on. Some of the material was later performed at the January 1985 Goat Island concert for Triple J's 10th birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressed on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl, remastered for this reissue.
