I've been rediscovering TRB, and although I'd written their second album off previously, I'm glad I hung onto it because it's proved to be an unexpected pleasure to listen to.
I can't speak for the extra tracks as I only have the vinyl, but of the original 11 tracks, 8 are really very good.
The first two songs, plus 'Days Of Rage' and 'Blue Murder' could be off the first album. 'Black Angel', 'Let My People Be' and 'Bully For You' are noticeably different as they bring in backing vocals, but they ALL work; 'Black Angel' rips off early 70's Stones years before Primal Scream started while 'Hold Out' ends the album on a crescendo which could be from Weller's 'Stanley Road' album.
'Crossing Over The Road' is throwaway (but ok) and the following two tracks ARE embarrassing, but to be fair, the dodgy Scottish vocals on 'Law & Order' are by Ian Parker, the keyboardist, who was Scottish.
This is an under-rated new wave record which in some ways takes risks in matching the anger of their first album with a new depth.

My first political protest album!
8 Aug 2007
Format:Audio CD
The original TRB TWO came out when I was 18 years old and very impressionable. I used to play it over and over and feel that it made a big contribution to my political sensibilities.
Musically, I think its passionate, energetic and interesting and its one album I still have in my collection today.

Alright... All Night

While I do not have the exact album listed above, I have the original TRB TWO from back in the day. The entire disk is listenable, although some songs are edgy (its attraction!) such as Law & Order. Black Angel is an excellent gospel piece. On the whole, Tom's ragged voice lends a real rock sensibility to the issues of the day, of which many still hold true. An urban grittiness.
Incidentally, I am recording my vinyl version onto CD, and came here for the Album art. The original TRB TWO is a dark orange cover, with the same black font, not the yellow shown here.
