Raw Power

Probably won’t come back to this record but I enjoyed checking it out. Iggy pop reminds of Anthony Keidis sometimes and I can definitely hear the influence on some of RHCP punkier stuff. I liked the distorted sound that saturates everything. This “proto-punk” sound kinda just sounds like 60’s Rolling Stones or early Who to me. I think the appeal in the stones thing was a rock feel that was super sloppy and felt like it could fall apart at any point but never did. It’s actually super hard to get right and I think the stooges totally get that thing better on this album than any stones band could. It definitely has that rock thing (“raw power”??) that I thought the Smiths were really lacking. 2.5

If this record was on at ethyls or rocka rolla, I’d be into it. Great background music for a Brooklyn bar. I usually get bored by anything in this genre and this was maybe a little bit more interesting than some. I want to like punk more than I do. Just kinda sounds like mediocre rock n roll

I didn’t like this.

Sounds like a cover version of itself. It’s half an hour of rock and roll noises.

meh

Some of the sounds are nice but the overall mixing feels so muddy and samey.

Didn’t really enjoy it but I Need Somebody was ok

Mediocre in every way. Niet slecht, maar niet goed. Saai.

More like raw noise. This has moments – but feels more like acting out or rage-y posturing than any important musical artifact. Iggy was all in and the guitars squall just about like you'd expect. Sure it's touch and gritty, but there isn't much beyond "Gimme Danger" to actually, you know, enjoy. The reissues are startlingly better engineered so one can at least hear a few instruments, but still ... one sincerely hopes there are better (and more elevating) things to hear as one approaches one's demise.

Gimme danger - Screaming fuzzy guitars are great. Not a huge fan of the vox. Penetration - like the groove. Really nice disassociation as the song flows. Vox are much more tolerable. Overall: not my cup of tea. Low relisten value. 3 mics outta 5

It’s not bad but there are definitely way better albums out there. For what it is, it’s not terrible.

Nae

not for me

4/10. I zoned out and didn't hear the lyrics of 'penetration' until like 30 seconds from the end, so I think that was a win.

On the concluding song of 'Raw Power,' when lead singer Iggy Pop, a self-professed ‘sick boy (both physically and emotionally)… barely(?!) losing grip’ invites us to accompany him on a ‘death trip,’ I don’t think he’s speaking figuratively. 'Fun House,' The Stooges preceding LP, almost wore me out, but remained fun nonetheless. 'Raw Power,' by contrast, reveals a band no longer having much fun, but only wanting to ‘Search And Destroy’- ‘I’m the world’s forgotten boy, the one who’s searchin’, only to destroy, hey!’ Charles Manson was looking to do the same thing a couple of years before with butcher knives and guns. Iggy’s intent, however, is simply to fuck you to death. I don’t believe his goal, necessarily, is murder. But you might beg to differ after hearing his vocals on ‘Penetration.’ No tender love there, just straight-up predatory animal lust. Someone’s bound to get hurt. And anyone who would choose to stay in his presence after hearing this song is probably on their own ‘death trip’ as well. ‘I needed love but I only lost my pants, and that ain’t all,’ he recalls on ‘Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell.’ On ‘Shake Appel,’ a fifties sounding rock n’ roll number, if it were to follow a couple of pulls off a meth pipe, he describes his paramour as having shake appeal, and the ‘Fit’s so tight… I gotta bite.’ Perhaps the title track best sums up Iggy’s petulant state of mind: ‘Don’t you try to tell me what to do. Everybody’s always trying to tell me what to do.’ Yeah, well, somebody’s gotta assert some kind of discipline to keep this thing in check. The whole band is out of control, as well as the folks recording and mixing on the other side of the broken glass. 'Raw Power' in a word? Frenetic. Why the odd inclusion of two ballads (‘Gimme Danger’ and ‘I Need Somebody’) in the midst of this bedlam is anyone’s guess. Maybe to calm things down? Fat chance of that. The Stooges easily pick up the pandemonium on the next song. And truthfully, these are the better numbers anyway, when The Stooges’ handlers just give up and let the boys run free- wild guitar soloing by James Williamson, the brothers Asheton assaulting their respective instruments while Iggy howls at the moon and grunts at women and snaps his teeth at everyone else. I loved The Stooges first two LPs. This one, however, I neither intend to search for again (at least any time soon), nor to destroy. I doubt there’s much left anyway, as these things typically tend to self-destruct.

Two good songs at the start with a load of shite afterwards.

Mmmmmm not my favorite. I could see how it was groundbreaking in its time, but I just can’t get much from it. Also the recording or compression through streaming makes it sound pretty awful. 4/10

Best Song: Search and Destroy. Liked the wild ending. Worst Song: Gimme Danger. Feels like Iggy Pop is cosplaying as Jim Morrison here. Overall: Plodding, punkish music that slips frequently into different genres and attempts to do what others have done much better.

É bom para quem gosta de rock n roll, mas não é muito meu gosto.

Sounded a bit flat and samey.

This is the third album from the Stooges. The band took more of a hard rock approach for this album and recently it has been considered a forerunner of punk rock. The album was not immediately popular, but gained a cult following over time. The name "Raw Power" suits the album well because its music is loud and proud. This album influenced rock, metal, and punk music at release and for the decades to come. I appreciated the classic sounding hard rock / punk music on this album, but the songs can be so chaotic at times that it's hard to really absorb the whole thing. This album may take me a few more listens to really comprehend the entire piece of music history.

Absolutely meh.

I've never been a fan of Iggy Pop and I did not enjoy this album. Search and Destroy is a good track and Gimme Danger isn't bad depending on the version of it. But the rest of it is just growly and displeasurable. Giving it a 2 because I'm very picky about what I give a 1.

Raw Punk. Simple and in your face. Not a fan of the opening track "Search and Destroy", but quite enjoyed the others. "Gimme Danger" has that mellow start that gets offset at the end of the song with a strong, driving guitar. "Penetration" (my favorite on this album) has a nice xylophone sound in the back that holds the line and gets stuck in your brain, jumping octaves and just ever present. Solid album that I enjoyed. Wish I had uncovered back in my high-school days. B- (as an aside ... Spotify rolled into "Down on the Street" off of The Stooges "Fun House" album. Fantastic song.)

2/10/2022 Today's Album: "Raw Power" by The Stooges - This album definitely exceeded my expectations, with the title and album causing me to expect some overblown and out of control punk outfits. However, this album is able to do what the earlier pink flag record couldn't and that is to implement subtlety into their hard rock. The first song didn't blow me away, but was still quite listenable. The vocalist sounds more grungy than the usual heavy punk act in the early 70s and I quite like it. The second song Gimme Danger is actually quite laid back with a generally great vocal performance. And okay yeah the third song, Your Pretty Face Is Going to Hell is more of what I expected. His vocals sound disgusting and the instrumentals sound like such generic hard rock aside from what is fairly decent guitar work. Penetration takes things back down a notch and is definitely enjoyable. There's a mysterious guitar and keys riff that accompanies fairly strange and eclectic vocals that match the energy of the album quite well. Very creepy vibe which matches the title and subject matter of the track. And going right back to shit, the title track Raw Power is so boring and generic and offers little to nothing in terms of a cohesive melody. The instrumentation doesn't change it up enough to make the boring lyrics and vocal performance listenable and it actually sounds like the singer is bored singing this track. The only saving grace is somewhat decent guitar playing again. Yet again, this next track strips things back and really offers a solid bluesy track about needing somebody. I don't understand how this band is able to switch between sounding so terrible and then pretty decent, but I Need Somebody is a pretty great track. After skipping around the last 2 tracks I decided they were similar to the louder, shitter songs that are scattered throughout this record. This album has 3 decent songs and 5 that are borderline unlistenable. It is disappointing given how much the highlights on this LP show promise, but it really isn't enough to save this album in my eyes. Score: 3 Inconsistent Highlights: Gimme Danger, Penetration, I Need Somebody

so that's who iggy pop is. forgettable, but at least it's short.

Was ok, didn't do too much for me

Overrated.

There's a couple of iggy pop songs I really like passengers, lust for life etc, but I haven't really listened to a whole album. When this came up I was very excited to listen to hidden gems or the hear the vision in full was a but disapoi ted it was all a bit dull. Right sounds attitude etc just a bit dull don't know why. Soz Ìgger

meh

Didn’t really listen too much because it was making me really sleepy driving home.

I think I liked a couple of songs, the rest I found almost unlistenable.

Only a few good songs, which were ruined by poor recording quality. Other songs were just plain repetitive, either in the music or in the lyrics.

Sounded a bit messy. I get the tone they were going for but it wasn’t for me.

Er meh. Guitar is really good, but not a huge fan of Iggy.

Begon erg sterk maar na een paar nummer verviel het in alleen maar geschreeuw en scheurende gitaren. Jammer.

Ik had Iggy een hoger cijfer gegund maar dit vond ik gewoon herrie.

not to my taste

Decent punk album.

Decent enough but nothing to write home about.

Raw, nasty, visceral energy. I wouldn't know that Bowie produced this if I didn't see it in Wiki. Although this was highly influential proto-punk its not my jam.

Second Listen. 2/5 for me this time. I think it's good, but need to hear more.

IP: What’s that needle bouncin’ back and forth on the board there? Engineer: That’s the volume unit meter… if if gets into the red, things may get a bit distorted. IP: You ‘erd him boys, keep it in the red.

Couldn’t really get into it, mix and master sound really bad

I didn't get much sleep and I'm really not in the mood for the FUCKING stooges. Jesus Christ how does this list always know just how to piss me off? "Proto punk" can go fuck itself up its own arse. 2/5.

This album is like really relevant for punk history, I just don't quite like it.

Just not my bag, really.

I can see why this was popular at time. It's gutsy and energetic. However, I wasn't that into it, not really my cup of tea

I was completely taken aback by the awful mixing and everything clipping, and thought there must be something wrong with my headphones at first. After reading the wiki page it seems this is intentional, and there are multiple mixes of the album out there with varying levels of distortion. I went with the Iggy Pop mix anyway and it was basically unlistenable, which is a shame because some of the songs sounded like they could be good if they were mixed well. I get that this is an "important" album in that it basically started punk as a genre, so have to acknowledge that, but I wouldn't listen to this mix of these songs again. Out of curiosity I went and tried the Bowie mix, and it's also bad but in a different way (levels all over the place). But it's at least a lot more listenable.

Pretty good rock and roll album

Little variation

I can see the influence from this album, but didn’t find it particularly catchy in anyway for me.

Very old sounding. Not very special imho? Kinda typical melodies. Audio feels a bit too sharp and overblown. something Gijs would love? Not for me. Second half of the album a bit better.

Sorry this was just noise that sounded all the same. I tired to like it but found myself drifting away.

Hmmm. It kind of sounded like I thought it would. I bet it sounded great / amazing / different in 1973, but I guess I prefer all the people who were inspired by it...

A less refined Iggy and album in general. Not great. Bet the Bowie mix was epic though.

Zeker raw power! Ik houd daar niet zo van.

My favorite track was "Gimme Danger" -- The rest was a little too raw and powerful for my tastes.

Crazy punk music. 4/10

I can get into some Iggy stuff. This album, not so much. I find most of it sophomoric and tiresome if I'm being honest. Just sonic testosterone.

NO soy especialñmenmte fan de los Troggs, punk ... pero...

Another in a string of not very strong albums.

Rock/punk. Bastante coñazo. Mal sonido. No muy agradable de oír.

A couple of okay songs, but not great for the most part.

I can see it being very good for its time, but it doesn't hold up as something would enjoy continuing to listen to. Most songs are just the same repeating dated riff with a solo on top at the end. The lack of variety within and between songs really made me lose interest overall. I do like the overall sound they have, but the music itself isn't interesting.

Loud!

Too punk for me.

Not that kind of rock that i like. I appreciate the good sound, but nope for me.

loud

Very 70s meh

Not my style, but still get why it's good.

Niet mijn stijl, maar kan er wel naar luisteren (als het moet) Marko

Just not my thing.

Not good. Boring repetitive riffs, meh vocals, bad mix even for 1973

Liked this less than I thought I would

Search and Destroy is a classic but most of the album isn’t my style

dff

This album was ass. Instruments are going out of time, such as the guitar, which is rushing here and there. Both mixes sound like shit. I either don't get or don't like early punk.

maybe the david bowie mix is better. Lyrics make no sense, mixing is horrible, and Iggy's vocals are like nails on a chalkboard

Simplemente NO

Simplemente NO

Super lame

saved: - Gimme Danger - I Need Somebody

Not for me at all. Totally subjective rating here. Didn’t like any of it

Iggy Pop ja, Stooges nein

Boo to this screaming

I am not a fan of punk rock and this is the band that apparently started in all in the US. A terrible listen.

Not even Iggy Pop's anti-charisma can save this eight-song trainwreck that contains loads of distorted guitars but nothing resembling an actual song. There are virtually no melodies and the chords sound like they were glued together at random. Do yourself a favor, stick the cool cover up on your wall and toss this unlistenable disc.

absoluteltly fucking hate this album

just don’t think it’s for me

Rock and roll mal. No se le entiende nada. No me gustó mucho. Parece un vómito de palabras y guitarra.

Didn’t click for me

This is not for me

Trying to finish an album right now so i didn't get to listen to this

Didn’t like any

Not for me. 1/5

i only listened to the bowie mix favs: i need somebody (bowie mix) rating 0.5/5

For some reason, completely grating and unlistenable to me.

wow! Absolutely awful. raw crap. -1

Straight up weird

i enjoyed none of this, but i do find it interesting entirely for its production. not because the production is good, heavens no, but because it's so bad. i think music production (and audio engineering in general) is a topic that can be broadly nebulous in its meaning because it covers so much but also because without some level of knowledge or experience it's quite abstract to the listening experience. here, it's a great case study in poor production given the album's notorious rushed original job, but also the 20 year later remix. to me each mix showcases something different: the former demonstrates the ample time needed for the technical skill required, and the latter demonstrates that it also takes a significant amount of creative skill that not all possess. i just think that's neat. also, iggy pop is a pedophile and pedophilia is bad.

Dosta dosadan album, zvuči kao neki loš rock punk bend bez ikakve dinamike. 1/5, 1/10

Не мой формат

I can feel the influence of this album. I can tell this is proto-punk. I hear the similarities between this and Horses, but it isn't as good. I want it to commit fully to punk, but I guess there was no punk for it commit to.

хочется помыться после прослушивания

Not a fan

Album nie przekonał mnie wcale. Spodziewałam się czegoś innego. I like some of The Stooges song… ale chyba nic na tym albumie

Not for me

43. not for me

No es de mi agrado. Muy noisy. Banda de Iggy Pop

Generally, just NOT my style. I appreciate the role this band and album have in music history, but it's not something I'll ever reach for. There were a few tracks I really wanted to skip during the first listen, but I feel as though I did give a fair shake and listened twice through. The vocals and vocalizations really bothered me, very out of tune at times and jarring. Although I did enjoy some of the instrumentation, the vocal delivery really killed it for me. Sorry Iggy, it's a no for me dawg.

I have never been interested in this group or Iggy Pop. I know of him, having seen interviews and a couple of his acting roles (Tank Girl, Cry-Baby). I was happy living in my limited knowledge. I can now say that I listened to Raw Power and that's about it. I could not connect with any of the songs or melodies. He presents an angst that is unfamiliar and I cannot find common ground. He's good at what he does despite my understanding. Rock on Iggy.

Not for me

i don't really like his voice

didn’t enjoy one minute of this. had to skip some songs halfway bc i knew they would just make my morning worse and worse the longer i listened to them

Not my jam

I thought I was going to enjoy this but it failed to impress me.

Odd I don't like this as it's def my type of music. Generic power chords and awful voice, not as good as Fun House.

DNF. I trudged through half an hour of Iggy Pop mumble-screaming while his guitarist played over him before deciding I respect myself too much to suffer through another two hours of this, and I don't respect myself very much. I don't understand how this album is on a list of "albums you must hear before you die" except as a cautionary tale.

It was as bad as I thought it would be.

Did my headphones break or something? Wtf is this Their music sounds like they don't give a shit but I bet if their house caught on fire they'd stop playing and go put it out

('_'?)

Hardt å jobbe seg gjennom. Bare surr og rop og tynn gitar, på mange måter. Blir ingen 2. gjennomhøring...

There's just so much going on at once, it's like every instrument is trying to overpower (lol) each other. As for Iggy Pop, I don't know what's worse, his howling or his mixing. I found the Bowie mix to bring some much needed clarity here, though even that doesn't do much to salvage the record. In truth this wasn't as offensive as other 1 stars, but as I sit and write this I can't think of a single element I enjoyed about this album. To the banished realm it goes. 🥀

we have had worse but this was not for me. 1.5

Iggy Pop you scream too much!

Oof The first song is a real struggle to listen through. It sounds like the shitty unmastered demo a friend of yours sends to you to see if you like it. Some of the other songs pick up, but never to the point of me liking it.

Iggy Pop. Pretty hard to listen to. Early punk with okay instrumentals are harsh vocals.

Raw and in your face. Sorta tame compared with what was to follow, but unique and shocking for its time. To me, it’s just simple hard rock’n’roll not played very well.

Couldn't finish. Got bored, not strong enough

Not my cup of tea

No

Not my vibe at all. No melodies only noise.

Not my vibe

did not enjoy a single second of this. *fart noise*

Not my jam, every song sounded the same.

One good song

I appreciate its influence but it was not for me

I am not a fan of loudness and shock as 'music' and therefore didn't enjoy this. I also don't like Iggy's voice, kind of like Lou Reed mixed with Mick Jagger but less interesting than both.

Wow, wow, wow, painful listen…. First of all, Iggy pops singing is pretty insufferable. I’m quite broad with what I consider appropriate singing but there are so many moments on this album that remind me of the trash you come across on Instagram reels. Instrumentally this thing is pretty bland too, and the mix is terrible. I listened to the 2023 Iggy pop mix where I think he must’ve been gacked out his mind when remastering this album. The music is muddy and his voice is way too loud on a few tracks. There are a few instrumental elements which I enjoy, the left panned xylophone mirroring the guitar on Penetration is a nice touch (although ruined by Iggy having a nashing fit on the mic). Also the descending chromatic riff on I Need Somebody. If this album does anything for me, it’s prove that making sloppy, noisy music sound good is a lot harder than it seems. Fav tracks - Penetration Worst tracks - everything else…

I've heard the hits before and they're ok but I've never been a fan of iggy

Ehhh not really into this

Boring, derivative, and laughably uninspired. At least it was only about a 30 min listen.

Dont love the stooges

Not for me

Iggy's voice was terrible on this album

Early punk.

Nah

I can understand that it was probably a defining album for the Punk genre, but it was too messy and the bass was out of pocket for half the songs

I hate! 1/5

Not sure if it is just a bad remaster or what, but it genuinely sounds bad. The singing and vocals completely drown out the instruments and seem almost cut and pasted over top.

This tool again. 5 times thus far - FIVE. Maybe the most hilarious outrage of the 1001+. No-talent obnoxious wanker - I'm more stupid for having listened to this. 30 minutes ago before I started I was doing quadratic equations for fun on my Chaucer bookmark and am now doodling boobs on a rocketship. So so dumb. 2/10 1 star.

Really didn't like the mixing on this album, could barely hear anything except a wailing guitar. Possibly listened to the wrong (Bowie) mix. There's probably something enjoyable here, but not with this mix

It's like nails on a chalkboard

Punk as it is

Fuck you

Even if I don't love Iggy and The Stooges I appreciated their prior entry for bringing something unique to the table. Raw Power was an attempt at more of a hard rock approach and for some reason it didn't resonate with me. Everything was pretty generic and run of the mill. Raw Power did nothing for me and was overall disappointing from my end. 1.37 stars

Sounds terrible

Louder

What a crock of shit. I remember listening to this bollocks as a kid, I clearly didn’t inherit my dad’s love of punk rock because I couldn’t wait to never have to hear Iggy Pops voice again (unless they have another bastard album on this list). Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t all bad, infact the only thing I hated was iggy’s voice. The rest of the band are pretty talented and if it was just an instrumental album I would’ve toe tapped my way through the just over half hour album. Unfortunately we don’t live in an alternate universe where iggy pop was just a weirdo with a run of the mill job, who knew he sounded like a fox getting gang banged whenever he attempted to sing. As such I had a miserable time listening to this nonsense. I’m sure there’s a place for this album on the list because of its influence on the punk rock genre, however, this did not do it for me at all. To end on a slightly positive note, it was more enjoyable than iggy’s swift card adverts back in the day

Shame about the singer. Talentless

So much noise, it's so soul and mind disturbing, like who listens to this on purpose or recreationally? They might be the precursor to garage rock and grunge, but truth be said, little stranger, I just don't care.

Fells powerful skull

Absolutely terrible. Stopped listening halfway through. It takes a very unique taste in music to enjoy more than 2 minutes of this style.

Punk Rock ätz…wie viele andere

D, I didn't like any of the songs

Not a fan.

just no

- meh, langweilig irgendwie

It's alright, if I had been born in a different time I would probably have loved this. The music doesn't have much appeal to me, lyrically it's okay. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by never listening to this again, it just isn't very interesting to me.

This rating might be unfairly low because only one of the anniversary editions was available on YTM, but the songs felt very repetitive and after 2/3 of the album I called it quits because I no longer had hopes of any deviation

No.

Punk

I know it is a classic, but cannot stand Iggy's voice!

Not a fan of punk rock

Painful If you want a reason why Iggy Pop has always been in the third tier, then here you go

In this ever changing world it is comforting to know that some things don't change. Things like Iggy's ghastly singing. The kind of singing that make the other members of the band seem like almost competent musicians. That said at least this album provokes some emotion (negative as it is) unlike the horribly bland and boring Kiss album yesterday.

No music, just noise

Скучная старая хуйня. Вырубил на первом треке. Панк это ваще параша бля.

ehh

Hard listening. Trebles in the mix are overwhelming. Need a little more soulful influence in my music…non-existent here.

Not into Iggy Pop, but for what he does, he does well.

Not for me

Chaotic and noisy in a bad way

Not a fan

This was not good lol. Mostly just noise

I had already heard parts of all the album's tracks. For me this album is unlistenable. It's not like nobody before the Stooges had performed rock music in this kind of unskilled and unserious manner, such as amateur 1960s garage rock bands. By 1970 and later by the time of the rise of punk rock, for there to have been any demand for this music indicates more than a minimal amount of drug-based alienation and dysfunction in the surrounding society, plus a reaction by music listeners against the uncreative corporatization of the rock music industry.

Ekki fyrir mig

Garagenrock zwischen Hardrock und Punk, Musik für Ohrenschmerzen, ungewünschter Besuch?, Erfolg garantiert

I had missed this one originally and finally got around to listening to it. I wish I hadn’t.

I barely got into this one but I tried.

Schlechter Punk Rock.

I'd probably like this if I never heard music before

For a remaster, this sounded shit. Another album I didn't finish, another album not worth a review.

Not my thing. A bit to electric jam band for me.

Irritating and inmelodious

not my thing

No.

Why does this album cover kind of creep me out? I can see how this preempts punk and maybe some 90s alternative, but it's not my jam at all. 1*

Don’t like punk. Too discordant.

Not a fan of this style music.

Nah

Well now I know why I was never into the Stooges.

Vidrigt

No

Was not interested

Seemed ok. Nothing memorable

not my thing

Don't like the voice and that ruins every song for me. Sorry Iggy.

Not my vibe. Understand the origin but can't get into the music.

I hate the mixing on the first tack. Why do the guitars sound so flat and muted? Not looking forward to the rest of the album after this first song. There were a couple cool guitar parts I guess. Overall this is a no from me dog. Punk is not good music.

Why would someone make and sell this album

Heb het uitgezet na de title track. De mix is verschrikkelijk, de lead gitaar is consistent gewoon verdwaald, en de songwriting algemeen is veel te saai om die dingen goed te maken. Ik voel me net een oudere man in 1973 want ik snap deze muziek niet en mijn kinderen zullen niet mijn toestemming hebben om hiernaar te luisteren. De pianopartij van de title track zal me najagen in vele nachtmerries. Dit was mijn eerste ervaring met The Stooges als project en als ik er zeggen over heb zal het ook de laatste zijn

Not interested

Näääää

not a fan

I listened to this like three times and never rated because I couldn't determine whether this was a two or worthy of a one. But the idea of listening to this a fourth time makes me want to shove toothpicks straight into my earballs, so I feel like this rating is warranted.

Can someone please explain the love for The Stooges? This sh** is terrible. The vocals are laugh-out-loud funny and the music is nothing to write home about.

This is what I imagine smell the glove would sound like - really not my thing.

Harsh sound. Did not love it

Some of these songs feel like fun Guitar Hero songs, but I had to skip a couple. Not a big fan

Not a fan of iggys voice in earlier stuff

No thanks, not my cup a tea!

Despite growing up on similar genres of music, I found only a few tracks listenable (but not great). From what I gather reading about the group and listening to this album, it seems like you either had to grow up with it or you're into the sort of stage acts Iggy Pop seems to be famous for.

Habe ich nicht gehört und werde ich auch nicht hören. Und gebe trotzdem einen Stern, weil ich alles von den Stooges verabscheue.

So from what I'm reading there seems to be a mess with differently mixed versions and Spotify only has the "Iggy Pop Mix" versions. I'm basing my review on that, but since the mixing seems like one of the worst things about this album to me, I'm not sure if that's fair/accurate. Anyway, this is a horrible, noisy mess. I only listened to the first half of the album but I'm stopping here because I can't concentrate on my work with this playing. I guess by itself this album might be closer to a 2 than a 1, since there are some decent guitar tracks hidden in this chaotically scrambled mix. But I'm tending to the 1 because this album enabled the abomination that is punk music. At least now I know which album to delete from music history if I ever manage to travel back in time.

1/5 not at all, sorry stooges

Only good thing about this album was how short it was...

Eh

I can't stand to listen to this album at all due to it being an old music album in a genre I cared little for.

Loved this

Noise

Nope. As awful as I expected, never been a fan of Iggy and this did nothing to sway me. I was wrong I will be giving out a 1* on this list!

לא אוהבת

no. pls no why so aggressive and angry my dude.

Not a fan, yikes. Tough to listen to in places, but they did some fun stuff with the stereo audio.

Energisk, rebelsk, grime 60’er rock n roll

Love Iggy and the Stooges.

Already listened goat album

Better than I remember, but the dedubro energy is still pretty strong on some tracks. Really not a fan of You Shook Me All Night Long still. Would maybe put this album on if I was doing some manual labor but even then I'd be more likely to go with something punchier.

8/10
