  NPR : So You Want to Send an Audio Postcard?
Finally, the best audio postcards should stand out from the rest of the program, whatever that program is. That's one way of saying that postcards are not the same as reported pieces, but they can be different from regular reports in different ways.
For example, the postcard may set itself apart by lacking any sort of narration: the intro may simply say, "Reporter Jason Fichley sent us this audio postcard from aboard the lobster boat Lucky Devil," and the postcard itself may be non-stop sound.
A postcard may use sound where most pieces use actualities, and it may well lack the sort of news peg that characterizes much of what we hear on public radio.

The band was experiencing growing pains, trying to stretch musically, and, at least at first, this made for a dilution of their hard rock focus moving toward a pop style they hadn't fully developed.
Place Without a Postcard had its share of powerfully performed songs, but its sound was light compared to the band's first two albums, the stylistic experiments were not yet bearing fruit, and, with an emphasis placed on the vocals, Peter Garrett sounded overly strident.

Place Without a Postcard should've been a brilliant breakthrough; instead, it's muscle-bound, all worked up and uncertain where to go first.
The few simple strokes are the most effective — in fact, "Someone Else to Blame" is a crackler — but most of it's at war with itself.
The LP opens with two relatively simple tracks, "When the Generals Talk" (more clichéd than the band's usual political statements, but a stirring mix of hard rock and — new for the Oils — funk) and "Best of Both Worlds," one of their best straight-ahead rockers ever.

 Monsters At Play : Midnight Oil : Place Without A Postcard (1990) Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Though on their third full length record Place Without A Postcard, this aggression was matched with a new appreciation for how to use such energy in a more carefully arranged musical context.
A good example of their playing is displayed on the tune “Basement Flat” where the lyrics describe the desperation of poor living conditions.
With great playing and great songs, this album created a blueprint for the international success that came to the band years later with “Diesel And Dust.” While that album is softer and more acoustically driven, they both contain a sensibility of how a band should operate and how to make fine guitar based music.

 Midnight Oil
I would say that Place Without A Postcard is a little bit more difficult to assimilate than Head Injuries simply because it's not so riff-based, with more and more emphasis placed on solid vocal melodies than memorable musical phrases.
Which is why upon first listen, I was tempted to dismiss this stuff due to its being too 'meek', but then these vocal melodies start growing on you and the emotional assault slowly crushes your fortifications.
Turning to other places, I surprisingly find this to be considered a letdown after Head Injuries, yet I have no idea how that could possibly be.
