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.
