Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Tin Machine. The band that famously made David Bowie wear flannel shirts and play second fiddle to a group of relative unknowns. But hey, that's the beauty of Tin Machine – breaking boundaries and confounding expectations.
Tin Machine II, now reissued on crystal clear and turquoise vinyl, is a wild ride from start to finish. Bowie's vocals are as powerful as ever, but it's the raw energy and grit of the band that really shines through. From the explosive opener "Baby Universal" to the haunting ballad "If There is Something", Tin Machine II is a rollercoaster of emotions.
The production on this album is top-notch, with each instrument cutting through the mix like a hot knife through butter. The interplay between Reeves Gabrels' searing guitar work and Bowie's charismatic crooning is a sight to behold. And let's not forget Hunt and Sales' powerhouse rhythm section, holding it all together with finesse.
Standout tracks include the infectious "You Belong In Rock n' Roll" and the funky "Amlapura". But really, every song on this album is a gem in its own right. Tin Machine II is a testament to Bowie's versatility and willingness to take risks.
So if you're looking for something a bit off the beaten path, give Tin Machine II a spin. You won't be disappointed. Trust me, I'm a quirky, famous music reviewer – I know what I'm talking about.

About the artist
Tin Machine
Tin Machine, a band that brought together rock legends David Bowie, Reeves Gabrels, Tony Sales, and Hunt Sales, burst onto the music scene in the late 1980s with their self-titled debut album. With a sound that straddled the line between alternative rock and experimental noise, Tin Machine quickly garnered attention for their off-kilter lyrics and raw energy. Frontman David Bowie famously ditched his glam rock persona in favor of a more stripped-down, edgy sound with Tin Machine, showcasing a darker and grittier side to his musical talents. Pushing boundaries and challenging listeners, the band's music was a departure from Bowie's solo work, reflecting a rebellious spirit that resonated with fans and critics alike. With their sophomore album, "Tin Machine II," the band continued to experiment with genre-blurring soundscapes and thought-provoking lyrics. Tracks like "Baby Universal" and "One Shot" showcased the band's ability to blend punk energy with avant-garde sensibilities, creating a sonic landscape that was simultaneously familiar and outlandish. Despite their short-lived career, Tin Machine's impact on the music world is undeniable. Their fearless approach to pushing musical boundaries and embracing experimentation set them apart from their contemporaries, solidifying their place as one of the most innovative and influential bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s. With their legacy enduring through generations of music fans, Tin Machine remains a testament to the power of artistic freedom and creative expression.
