What makes Freeways by Men Without Hats notable?

'Freeways' gained attention for its experimental approach to pop music and included several remixes of the title track. While it did not achieve the commercial success of its predecessor, the album expanded the band's sound and contributed to the evolving new wave genre, influencing subsequent Canadian artists. Released in 1985, 'Freeways' was Men Without Hats' follow-up to their successful debut album 'Rhythm of Youth.' At this point in their career, the band was striving to solidify their presence in the burgeoning synth-pop scene that was gaining traction globally, particularly with the success of singles like 'The Safety Dance.'
