Palmer ( One Shot ) Released: 2 September 1991 Label: London/Victory 828 272-1 On
their second album, Tin Machine streamlined their approach somewhat,
trading the occasional noisy guitar flourish for a cleaner, more
conventional lead line. However, that doesn't mean the group has abandoned
the plodding dissonance that distinguished their debut -- they've just made
it more accessible. And that doesn't mean they've written better songs.
Nothing on Tin Machine II compares with the highlights of the debut
-- it sounds like a collection of outtakes. It's not surprising that David
Bowie chose to resume his solo career after the release of this collection. Stephen Thomas Erlewine All-Music
