5.0 out of 5 stars Two Five Star Discs In The One Package 21 Aug 2004
Format:Audio CD
The first two Tindersticks album are both confusingly called Tindersticks. For anybody who doesn't know this is the second one. Such eponymous shenanigans aside this is another thrilling ride through the darkness with the band. You get the Lee Hazlewood/Nancy Sinatra inspired 'Travelling Light' with Carla Torgerson of the Walkabouts in the Sinatra role. Then there's the dark balladry of 'Tiny Tears'. 'My sister' is a blackly humorous spoken recital reminiscent of the Velvet Underground's 'The Gift' . This is tremendous stuff. The orchestrations are a step up from their debut album with Terry Edwards supplying trumpet, saxophone and french horn. This is the probably the best value package of the recent reissues as the 'Live At The Bloomsbury Theatre 12.3.95' bonus disc was previously released in it's own right, albeit in limited numbers. It features accomplished versions, with strings attached, of most of the second album with several songs ('City Sickness', 'Jism', 'Drunk Tank', 'Rain Drops' ) from the first album also featured. Assuming the album is actually sequenced in the same order as the performance, after warming up with 'El Diablo En El Ojo' and 'A Night In' , the band hit their stride with an urgent version of 'Talk To Me'. The version of 'City Sickness' is blistering. Rapid fire drumming and brass squeals underpin 'Vertrauen 2'. In a live context some of these songs sound less claustrophic, but sometimes more frantic, than they do on the studio albums. Stuart Staples is in fine voice (well, fine gravelly voice) throughout. Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime, transcendent, magnificent 6 Dec 2008
Format:Audio CD
I find this album even more rewarding than Tindersticks' first album and 'Curtains', although I rate both very highly. The mood of this, the second eponymous album, is haunting and tender, and unlike one of the other reviewers I find the quality of the songs extremely impressive throughout. Tindersticks' lyrical sophistication and subtlety is here combined with darkly gorgeous melodies in songs full of wistful, remorseful longings; these songs only become more valuable to me as I know them better.

'My Sister' is as drily funny, macabre and startling as anything I've ever heard. 'Tiny Tears' manages to be so moving that one can take the title seriously, which is as high praise as I know how to give. 'Seaweed' and 'A Night In' are songs which drift sweetly into the mind again and again. 'No More Affairs' is delightful, wry and melancholic. 'Cherry Blossoms' is achingly, yearningly lovely, and 'Sleepy Song' elegiac and inexplicably harrowing. 'Mistakes' is soaring, heart-rending and all the more powerful for the elliptical simplicity of the lyrics. These are just some personal favourites.

The extra disc featuring a live performance is also excellent: thrilling, beautiful and touching. This is a treat for grown-ups, but a richly pleasurable treat all the same.

By russell clarke TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
It,s so confusing . After releasing their debut called imaginatively Tindersticks the band released their follow up album in 1995 . A double album it too was called even less imaginatively Tindersticks , though it is referred to as The Second album by fans. Like i say it,s a tad confusing but i,m willing to forgive the band just about anything for The Second album is the finest thing they have ever done....a ravishing collection of consummate songs performed with the bands requisite scuffed majesty .
If anything this album saw the band expand their trademark sound from their debut . There is the usual array of guitars, violin, trumpet, vibraphone, glockenspiel , bassoon , organ, clarinet etc but the sound was considerably fleshed out with lush and dramatic string arrangements courtesy of then band member Dickon James Hinchcliffe.
While these are a key element in making this album so special what really elevates The Second Album into the truly extraordinary is the quality of the song writing . There are half a dozen songs on this album that see this terrific band right at the height of their fulsome powers.
Though the album has the epic dark comedy of "My Sister", sprightly instrumental interludes, the wistful regret of "No More Affairs" and the burnished waltz of "She,s Gone" the real joy comes from a series of monumental ballads. "Travelling Light" is a duet featuring Carla Torgensen of the excellent Walkabouts. The vocal interplay between her slightly weary textured voice and Stuart Staples nicotine stained mumble is superb and the stately strings give the song a portentous weight. "Mistakes" builds ominously with Staples intoning regretfully about "Mistakes i,ve made , like the one, you know the one" and how "I,ve had my strings cut" before a gut wrenching crescendo.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't shut your eyes just yet 26 Nov 2000
Format:Audio CD
Good as they are, none of the Tindersticks' other LPs come close to matching this stunning effort. Quite simply, every track is a winner - something of an achievement given that there's sixteen in total - but the standouts are the black comedy of My Sister, Tiny Tears and possibly their best song, Travelling Light.

Not to everyone's taste, sure, but not everyone has such good taste as Tindersticks fans...

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful - I couldn't live without it 16 April 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This is an album that'll lift you up and break your heart at the same time - the perfect late night listening. I couldn't imagine life without these songs, especially Travelling Light and Mistakes. No exaggeration, every last note of this is wonderful.
