Description

The first Tin Machine album was exhilirating-but-exhausting, and guaranteed to turn off those allergic to metal-tinged noise-rock. The second offers more variety, and no "Crack City" style lyrical-embarrassments. And more importantly, stronger songs overall. The highpoint is the three song sequence - "Amlapura" (one of my fave Bowie ballads), "You Can't Talk" (a rocker that would have fit onto `Lodger') and "Betty Wrong" (though it's not as good as the extended-sax-solo version on the Oy Vey Baby video). Even the much-maligned "Stateside" works as a jeu d'espirit ("Sorry", the other Hunt Salesmore… number, is the real weak spot here). "One Shot" and "You Belong..." are at least pleasant, and "A Big Hurt" is Tin Machine Vol. 1-style fun ("even a glass eye in a duck's ass can see that!"). Factor in the acknowledged classics (acknowledged by Bowieologists anyway) "Baby Universal", "Shopping for Girls" and "Goodbye Mr Ed" and you have a pretty damn great album.
