PARENTAL WARNING: THIS IS A GREAT IGGY ALBUM
Review Score: 








(10/10)
I have just recently gotten into The Stooges, and Iggy's solo classics (The Idiot/Lust For Life.....if you don't have these, you don't deserve a stereo...make that true for the Stooges albums as well). I bought this from a used cd shop down the block, just because it was cheap and I had heard from people it was good. It was really an afterthought, but I put it in my test stereo (the one I try new stuff out in before I ruin the foundation of the house with the big stereo eating up the front wall of the room)...I listened to a couple songs, but nothing was doing it for me, probably because I was still reeling from hearing The Idiot for the first time. Last night, nothin to do, put this on, and jammed my ass off. NUMBER ONE: This is great songwriting, that is the key to this album...I was too focused on the music and the studio sound, seeing if it would match the ambience of his older stuff, but that's not the way to listen to this....Sure, the music's great, a nice mix of Rock and some really great almost-ballads and whatthef*cks that only Iggy could do...The love songs, uh-huh, can't hang with that, but that's only two songs out of 16....Album Highlights: Hate, F*ckin' Alone (my anthem), Plastic & Concrete (nice&simple), Louie Louie....the list goes on, can't wait to listen to it again....maybe this time I'll try to shatter the windows with it....
