It is fully appropriate for me to be the reviewer since I took on the sequel and this is the only album ahead of mine in the GANs queue! --K. Peake 13:51, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Shouldn't the img caption use British instead of European per the body referencing the former version of the cover?
• Late 1989 – early 1990; late 1990 → 1989 – 1990 under recording, not only to avoid repetition of 1990 but also since only months should be used next to years, not later or early
• Replace hlist with bullet points per Template:Infobox album
• Why is hard rock listed as a genre but blues isn't?
• Pipe London to London Recordings
• Does it really need to be noted in the infobox what song Hugh Padgham produced?
• Remove wikilink on studio album
• "American guitarist Reeves Gabrels and" → "Reeves Gabrels on guitar and" for consistency
• "recorded the album in" → "recorded it in"
• "It was produced by the band" → "The production was handled by Tin Machine"

• Almost forgot this, how's that look? – zmbro _(talk) 15:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

• "noted that the band" → "noted that Tin Machine"
• "the band took a break" → "Tin Machine took a break"

• All done

• Retitle to Recording and production
• "Tin Machine maintained the same lineup as their debut," → "They maintained the lineup of Tin Machine," because the debut has not been mentioned in this section, but you want to avoid repetitiveness

• "on 4 November" → "on 4 November 1989"
• "work with Tin Machine" → "work as part of Tin Machine"
• Wikilink reissue

• "working with them he" → "working with them, he"
• "the debut album," → "their debut album,"
• Pipe mix to Audio mixing (recorded music)
• "for the band's debut album." → "for Tin Machine." to avoid writing debut too much
• "It was then" → "The song was then" because it was not mentioned in the previous sentence
• "We really got off on it". if the sentence ends at this point, then the full-stop should be inside the quote marks

• All done

• Again, use something other than "the debut" since this is a new section
• "than their debut," → "than the debut,"
• Is schmaltz really a genre? If not, it should still be mentioned but after them.
• Wikilink "You Belong in Rock n' Roll"
• "that at the time he" → "that at the time, he"
• Pipe industrial to Industrial music
• Remove overly obvious wikilink on Thailand
• "show the band" → "show the band to be"

• All done

• Retitle to Release and promotion
• "for the album's American release," → "for the American release of Tin Machine II,"

• Mention the name of the label in place of "the record company" since it has not been written out in this section
• "of Hunt Sales' shoulders" → "of Sales' shoulders"

• "was issued in November" → "was issued the next month"
• "The band supported" → "Tin Machine supported"
• "and ran through" → "and ran through until" or something similar
• [37] should not only be invoked once for the five sentences; maybe do every two apart from the last one, where it is invoked a third time?

• "Steve Appleford found it" → "Steve Appleford found Tin Machine II"
• Either mentioned the Billboard reviewer by name or use "a Billboard writer"
• "were ready to hear it." → "were ready to listen."

• All done

• Shouldn't the Pegg citation be invoked after the second sentence as well as the last since only once for three doesn't seem right?
• "noting that it" → "noting how it" to avoid overusage of "that"
• "on the band's debut" → "on Tin Machine"
• "states that it" → "states that the album"
• "than their debut" → "than the debut"
• "Furthermore, he highlights" → "Furthermore, Pegg highlights"

• Kyle Peake All done. Thanks for reviewing! – zmbro _(talk) 15:08, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Zmbro Refreshing to have a review where we appear to have not come to any disagreements, but you forgot to remove the title of the song that Hugh Padgham produced from the infobox and the revision of critical reception in the lead is great! --K. Peake 17:26, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

• Kyle Peake Agreed. And ope my bad must've not seen that one. Fixed! – zmbro _(talk) 17:28, 16 November 2021 (UTC)Reply
