In fact, it's almost like Pete Shelley's early solo work.

Who on earth thought of tacking the middle of the road country rock song onto the beginning of this album?

Young explained further in a 1988 interview:
"If you listen to Trans, if you listen to the words to "Transformer Man" and "Computer Age" and "We R in Control," you'll hear a lot of references to my son and to people trying to live a life by pressing buttons, trying to control the things around them and talking with people who can't talk, using computer voices and things like that.
It's a subtle thing, but it's right there. But it has to do with a part of my life that practically no one can relate to. So my music, which is a reflection of my inner self, became something that nobody could relate to. And then I started hiding in styles, just putting little clues in there as to what was really on my mind.
I just didn't want to openly share all this stuff in songs that said exactly what I wanted to say in a voice so loud everyone could hear it."

It's like he's predicting the rise of the Flaming Lips.

Why do the guitars on this album have so little power to them?

There's a very sweet, appealing melody at the heart of this song.
