This came out in 1999 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
The latest posse of glamtronic gunslingers to ride into town gunning for the top, Tin Star are made up of some triggermen from other gangs — two sharpshooters from XC-NN and an old hired gun from Sisters Of Mercy.
Now that they’re taking the stage on their own, they’ve come heavily armed with a full arsenal: Percolating, Garbage-y backing tracks; sweeping, sinister synths; big, bashing beats; razor’s-edge guitars; and world-weary Britpop vocals that sound a little like Bono on Valium. With all that, Tin Star could clean up in this one-horse town.
