Album Review

This is the first post-conversion record for Tonio K. after his nihilistic tour de force on Amerika. It's pretty good as far as EPs go. He still keeps his acerbic wit in place -- songs like "Fools Talk" and "Mars Needs Women" ring in with the Tonio listeners have seen before. "La Bomba" is a masterpiece, changing the lyrics to sing not about "the dance" but "the bomb" -- in Spanish, no less. The cover of Cream's "Politician" is nice.
