David Bowie influence makes this better.

Surprised by how much this album has grown on me. 4 Boolean: True

4.5 love Iggy!

Don’t mind it

Gosh you again, and DB again, you guys are always wearing same pairs of pants.

Iggys attempt at a clapback to Len Houmous. Pathetic really. 2.7 2/8 Nightclubbing

My 2nd (of 2) of Iggy's solo albums and 3rd (of 5) albums associated with Mr. Pop in this experience and my least favorite one so far. Out of all of his records on this list, this was the one I was the most unfamiliar with which made the sound of this album stick out like a sore thumb. I said in my "Lust for Life" review that that album is like Iggy Pop through the lense of Bowie. This album is like Iggy Pop through the drugged out lense of Bowie and not in a good way. 2/5

Bowie and Iggy

I'm sure I have heard this album playing in a dive porn shop with that far, sweaty-arsed, long greasy haired fuckwad serving behind the counter. You know the guy. The one that sneaks little pervy looks at your girl while pretending to be interesting in serving you.

Husker jeg hørte en del på en best of skive etter jeg hadde blitt Trainspotting pilled, men i senere tid har jeg hørt mest på the Stooges. Tror aldri jeg har hørt en annen Iggy skive enn Lust for Life heller. Dette når ikke opp til peak Stooges, men er mye fett her. Hører fra første spor at Bowie har vært med, veldig Low like sound. Han passer bedre her enn i Raw Power for å si det sånn. Fortsatt bitter over at det ikke finnes en ordentlig god mix av den. Nightclubbing er også en klassiker, men Dum Dum Boys er faen meg bra post punk ass. Mye bedre enn noe Dum Dum Boys har klart å produsere for å si det mildt.

Den beste av Berlin-platene? "Dum Dum Boys" klart høydepunkt. Resten av plata seig og slentrer avgårde

A little weird but ok

I love this album. "Nightclubbing" is one of my all-time favorite songs. Immaculate vibes.

I was actually really looking forward to this since Iggy is a huge inspiration for my favorite band of all time (QOTSA) but wow I did not like this and it mainly comes down to two things, his voice and the lyrics themselves. Both just wayyyy too weird for me. It's too bad though cause there are some cool ass instrumentals here. 1.5/5

I liked the Stooges albums better overall, but I appreciate the experimental side of what Pop does on his solo efforts.

Surprisingly, I was not so excited with it. Same rhythms, some repetition. OK

I know this one very well. An easy 5.

This is good. I like Iggy Pop a lot more after the 1001 journey. Never knew China Girl was a co-write with Bowie and came out on this album first. This is a really quality album. Fave Tracks: Nightclubbing, China Girl, Mass Production 4.3/5

This sounds like a sister record to Bowie’s ‘Low’, which is no bad thing. I love Iggy, and his voice is a great match to the eerie mood. A nice discovery.

He's far from an idiot

Lidt kedeligt Iggy. Eller lang fra Raw Power ihvertfald.

What’s not to like? Iggy… goood Bowie… gooood

This is the real third one in the Berlin Trilogy yeah? Iggy's best solo album. Always nice to look at the cover for this alongside Bowie's Heroes.

I just listened to this album earlier this year. It first came to my attention when Trent Reznor admitted that he had sampled a bit of the beat from "Nightclubbing" for the iconic drums of his song "Closer" from THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL. THE IDIOT, while being glam rock influenced (which I genuinely find to be a tedious genre) is the album I've enjoyed the most from Iggy Pop. That is probably because it sounds more like a David Bowie record, than an Iggy Pop one (as it should since Bowie produced the album and co-wrote all of the songs). Nice of Bowie to gift Jim some lifetime earnings, while Jim was giving Bowie an out of control drug addiction and actively shortening Bowie's life. I never enjoyed The Stooges, but I was glad to hear Iggy get a chance to create an album like this. People say post punk, but I actually hear a Bowie-esque melange of glam punk and krautrock. Like what a Berlin cycle album might have sounded like without Brian Eno, and with Iggy Pop stumbling over lyrics. I think it is debatable whether this even belongs on the list, given that it is arguably a David Bowie album and there are already 8 of them on the list, but it is undeniable that this album influenced a number of post punk, goth rock, new wave, and New Romantic acts that would follow in the 80s and early 90s. Favorites: "Sister Midnight", "Nightclubbing", and "Funtime" We receive a proto version of "China Girl", but I prefer the version that Bowie created with Nile Rodgers on LET'S DANCE six years later.

The Idiot? Sums it up.

Hadn't heard this before except knowing Bowie's version of China Girl. Overall it was alright for me, the songs were fine but nothing really jumped out at me.

Pish. 1.4 (it was a smidge interesting to hear an early version of China Girl)

I really like this. China Girl is a particular highlight for me.

I love this

Interesting, thought it would be peppier - ?

Sorry, Iggy, wasn't really up for this today. Album fatigue. But can hear a bit of Lou Reed, and a lot of Bowie. Felt a bit lesser than Lust for Life. I'd probably like it more on a different day, so this one's on me.

It was good, but I feel like Lust for Life was a better album all around.

I hate to say that Iggy Pop’s music, whether solo or as part of The Stooges, rarely sits right with me. It’s confrontational and loud but so bleak and challenging. I can respect the hell out of it but find myself bouncing off of most of it, including 1977’s The Idiot (although I’ll admit “China Girl” is nuts, what a fantastic song). Maybe it’s basic of me but my favorite Iggy is the same year’s Lust for Life, which is a bit more conventional…it’s hard to beat “The Passenger.”

Já conhecia a história por trás do album e a colaboração com david bowie, gosto do estilo por trás, mas assim como em grande parte dos álbuns aqui, uma coisa que eu prezo são músicas marcantes para mim, então no meu gosto pessoal, esse aqui ficou na média. 3/5

I really liked the beginning then it dropped in quality for me from China Girl

This is generally not my thing. It had its moments of good and its moment of eh. But between some of the talk-singing, screeching, and whatever the heck is going on in that last track, it's enough to bump it down to a high 2/5. I wouldn't want to list to this again.

-this may be an unpopular opinion but i really preferred the second half. such a cool sound especially considering how influential this album was to genres like punk and post-punk -definitely adding to the list of albums to relisten to because i thought the whole thing was interesting, even if it took a minute for me to get into it -Favorites: China Girl, Mass Production

It's a trip. Iggy's not quite singing, not quite talking, but it works in this grimy little world he's built. Spins: 1 Playlist Additions - Sister Midnight - Nightclubbing - China Girl

idk man, there are some songs here that i like, and it's proof that this guy has a iconic style. but then a song like tiny girls comes and it makes me question what i'm listening to

No standouts

Shit dude. Bring together 2 icons. Iggy pop and david bowie. I didnt pick up on bowie until the last track but I had to see who else had a hand on this. I should saw it coming to be honest. Isn't China girl a bowie song straight up? I think i like this version a bit more. And I like a couple other tracks too. I think this pairing is a tiny bit less than the sum of its parts. Like a miniscule amount. I like more energy from both artists to be honest. Every artist for that matter. But the vibes are still pretty good. The opening sister midnight was more what I was expecting but im still happy with what I got. Interesting stuff for sure. Two legends doing what they do.

Really solid, not sure if I would go back to listen to anything specifically though.

Iggy Pop has never really done anything for me. I could get over his grating voice if the songs were at least interesting, but they're not.

Iggy Pop, Iggy Pop, Iggy Pop - am I an Iggy Pop fan? I was LOVING this album until China Girl, which whilst sonically interesting rings fetishistic and bizarre to the modern ear. Dum Dum Boys was also a tough listen - also just a terrible name, am I putting ‘China Girl’ or ‘Dum Dum Boys’ on at a social event? - No I am not. Am I listening in my spare time? Also no. ‘Tiny Girls’ makes me nervous, ok let’s listen… oh GOD terrible. Another nonce ballad from the 70s to join all of the other nonce ballads over in song prison forever, to rot. I gave Lust For Life four stars and wrote an equally long rambling review about that. I like some (emphasis on SOME) of Iggy Pops music, seemingly despite myself. This album REALLY falls off in the second half. I felt like he had a direction and now he’s just wailing over different dirges and often the wailing is racist and pedophillic. Mass Production is like listening to a very vocal mosquito being tortured. Oh my God it’s still going. This song is eight minutes long. I woke up this morning with a really sore throat and I’m worried I have tonsilitus but listening to this song is so awful that I’m forgetting about the pain in my throat as it’s been transferred to my ears. Do I like this song ???? Do I like the song Mass Production ??????? How does Iggy Pop do this to me ??? He’s done it twice now ???? He tricks me !!!! He tricks me into liking some of his wailing !!!!!!!!!! Wait no I don’t think I like this. Perhaps I do, I don’t know omg. I’ve added Mass Production to my playlist. I can’t give a five as the middle three songs were super weird but go on then Iggy another four for you. Another four stars. Iggy Pop has broken me. I love big brother.

liked it more and more each if the three times i listened to it

This is a drug album that doesn’t stray into psychedelia. Instead it’s heavy lidded and on the point of collapse. Music is repetitive and simple but drags you in. Grooves are held and stretched out, and the vocals are detached and the lyrics provide a dead eye on Berlin and the life he found himself in.

Decent Bowie album but it’ll be much better if Iggy Pop was not involved.

A classic. I think his best solo work, but I have a giant bias towards anything Bowie was involved with.

i really thought I was going to like this more than did, Good listen, just didnt wow me

Overall a pretty good album, but it doesn't really have any standout songs like his follow album Lust For Life does. I am a real sucker for dissonant synth sounds, and it was cool to hear how this style was applied to Bowie's Low. A lot of this album reminded me of Somebody's Calling Me by LCD Soundsystem (which is a great song imo, but not for everyone). High 4.

Lust for Life better

a few killer tracks! i love dum dum boys

iggy does bowie. or is it bowie does iggy? a great collab released under iggy's moniker. a definite departure for james newell osterberg jr., his first after the stooges' collapse. highlights include "dum dum boys", "mass production", and a far more raw "china girl" than what bowie would go on to record. but the whole record is great.

Nightclubbing was the only great song here. Mass Production and Tiny Girls were decent. Overall not super impressed as an album.

Crazy that Iggy Pop can do the stooges and also do this. He has such a powerful scuzziness which shines through no matter the genre. He's a little classed up here though - they even put him in a shirt for the album cover. Must have been a nightmare getting him to keep it on long enough to get the picture. So good and SO late 70s Bowie/Visconti - very funny that Bowie selflessly decided to be behind the scenes and let Iggy Pop have these songs and then like 2 years later recorded better version of them himself.

I only ever knew this cat by reputation. I'm sure I've heard a [his famous group] tune or two in a movie montage or sthg similar, but for sure I've never spent any time in dedicated listening. So here we are with another name scratched off the Been-meaning-to-get-around-to-for-years-but-likely-won't-ever-find-the-time-without-some-outside-influence list. And it's another win! This is great. I got a bit of an ahead-of-its-time vibe here. Can't quite put my finger on it; seems pretty damn unique among its own era. And it reminds me of stuff that's a good 15+ years its junior. I'm certainly no expert tho. I just know I dig it & I will not delay digging deeper into his catalog. 4.33

Not amazed, but it wasn't terrible.

funky. i enjoyed this. track 5 was my fav

Not my favourite style, but better than expected. 3.5 stars

I don't think this is quite as good as the the album that proceeds it, but it's still pretty great in it's own right. For all the acclaim Bowie's Berlin trilogy gets, I think my favorite stuff he did during that time are the two albums he made with Iggy. Two of these songs would be re-purposed by Bowie later -- "Sister Midnight" would become "Red Money" on Lodger and of course he'd have a massive hit with "China Girl". The album sort of invents post-punk while punk was still in it's infancy and it's a super cool listen. My favorite things here are "Nightclubbing", "Dum Dum Boys", "Mass Production" and the incredible "China Girl". 4.5 stars.

A pretty good album in spite of Iggy Pop. Very lucky to have David Bowie on board. Sort of a dry run for his Berlin Trilogy. Cold, harsh, discombobulated. You can see how Joy Division were influenced especially on tracks like She’s Lost Control and I Remember Nothing. A few half-good songs like China Girl although Bowie’s version in the 80s is way better. The main only good thing about Nightclubbing is the drum beat that was sampled on NIN Closer. Sister Midnight is a wriggly tiggly earworm. Big swathes of the record are actually painfully sung garbage. 3.5 stars for the influence on cool acts like NIN and Joy Division.

An Iggy album, but compulsory listening for anyone who wants to hear the progression from Bowie's mid-70s glories into his equally glorious Berlin albums. Sound-wise, unsurprisingly, some of this fits right in. Other songs do sound very "Iggy": he's a force of nature; pure performance energy emanates from him along with the sleaze and a bit of tortured artistry. So I shouldn't just bang on about Bowie, even though I worship him. I love this album, and listen to it regularly. It's edgy and moody, and very cool. Iggy and Bowie's friendship at the time must have been a remarkable thing. And, who can be sure how much Iggy himself threw into the musical mix that ended up shaping my idol? Love this. It's a bit rough round the edges, but so it should be.

A decent album. Bowie’s influence seemed clear then I realised he wrote the damn thing lol. “Sister Midnight” / “Baby” were good tracks and the closer “Mass Production” was the best of the album for me. Having not really heard much of Iggy’s solo stuff I was pleasantly surprised, he gives a good and varied performance in this album. Definitely an enjoyable one, and having Bowie writing your tracks is definitely a bonus.

This is what I would call culture, though it takes time to appreciate

Decent slab of Bowie/Eno late 70's electronic rock. All passable but nothing remarkable. 'Dum dum boys' is good. I think I've rated every Iggy Pop record 3/5 and thought 'it's ok'.

Never had listened to that before. Kinda liked it.

hoeveel drugs zijn geconsumed tijdens het maken van dit album..... wel echt goed album nightclubbing !!!

leuk en goofy

Mere Bowie agtig end Lust for Life, men ikke på så fed en måde

Rigtig cool, men kunne bedre lide den sidste vi havde med ham!

If David Bowie was the dirty uncle

I really enjoy the parts of the songs when he’s not singing.

Here I was thinking that this was a better album than Lust for Life up until he starts singing about wanting someone to stay young. Maybe I'm the idiot for thinking Iggy Pop wouldn't be a pedophile for the length of an album. That's my problem with Iggy Pop's music as a whole: great music, distractingly bad lyricism. I think the worst part is that the "China Girl" in question in China Girl is Vietnamese and had a boyfriend at the time. At least Bowie's saxophone playing saves the album a little.

Actually somehow more interesting than Lust for Life. Sister Midnight and Dum Dum Boys the best tracks, apart from China Girl but that's also a Bowie song. Maybe a 4 on repeated listens but still not enough consistently for me.

For most of this I was really enjoying the instrumentation and finding the vocals quite hard to get in to. I do like that Berlin era of Bowie, so it makes sense. I think it dropped off a bit (or maybe got a bit stagnant) as it went on. I then put it on again and I wanted to compare the 2 versions of china girl and on a second listen I started to like the vocals more. I think on a few more listens I could certainly like this quite a bit. I dunno if it's reached a 4 yet, but I do really like those instrumental tracks so I'm gonna be generous.

There were some interesting things but it did not grab me. Will have to give a relisten

Really does sound like Bowie

Os melhores momentos são os inspirados em David Bowie (produtor do disco) como "China Girl" e "Tiny Girls".

I like the combination of Pop's singing and lyrics with Bowie's music. I didn't know the original Cina Girl, so that was interesting. Liked Songs Added: Nightclubbing Funtime

I think I like him with the Stooges better?

Oh hey David Bowie is here. 3.5

Que cosa tan aburridora, no puedo creer que Bowie fuera parte de esto

Personal enjoyment: 4/5 Relevance to this list: 5/5

Totally fine.

This list has made me an Iggy Pop fan, particularly the stuff with the Stooges and the first two solo albums. This album maintains the edge of the Stooges, but you can feel Bowie’s influence softening the edges.

4.5 I dont know why I got so wrapped up in China Girl; it's not like I've never heard the song before, BUT what a goddamn song. The first minute or two is a mess, out of time and Iggy sounds horrible, but something clicks around the visions of swastikas and completely changes. I'd like to imagine that this was all recorded live with the band and they fell into some transcendent pocket, but if it wasn't, it might be some of the best 3 minutes of rock music ever produced/engineered. Fun fact, bowies version had SRV playing on it Baby was a song I never really paid attention to but could very easily be a Queens of the Stone Age song nowadays, nightclubbing is a burner too Im going to have to revist the Berlin trilogy

Some good ones, some meh ones, generally enjoyable but not something I'll revisit likely or save from.

I think there's an interesting sound to this album, but I don't really like him as a vocalist. There's something in his voice that reminds me of Tom Waits, but I don't think that he utilizes his voice as well as Waits does, and I think there's a lot less variety or experimentation in this album than on something like Rain Dogs. It was a mildly enjoyable listen, it just didn't have much else for me beyond that. Favorites: Sister Midnight, China Girl, Tiny Girls

2.5 stars

This is the second time for this. I have multiple projects going and it’s getting to the point where the repeats are starting to crowd the first time listens. But I am happy I’m doing it. I was honestly dreading this. I think I gave it a 2 the first time. The David Bowie all over it was making it hard for me to take. But… wow, don’t know if it’s just because I had to just listen to Taylor Swift’s evermore for the second time. But man… I am feeling this today. I think I said Bowie’s version of China Girl was better last time. I was wrong. Yeah. Iggy, glad you got clean. Or cleaned up. Glad Bowie was your friend. 4 Boolean: True. Absolutely. Probably more than once, because the first time is kind of rough

The bozoo

No fav song

This really is just Bowie in a trench coat. Unfortunately, this is a little closer to Low than Station to Station, which I just don't care about very much. Favorite Songs: Sister Midnight, Nightclubbing

I think I've always liked the idea of Iggy Pop more than his music. This album is good but nothing that really changes my mind on him. Pretty decent songs with some fun attitude but I will probably never listen to this album again and that is fine. Although he definitely sounds like a Temu David Bowie mixed with a little Mick Jagger, still not a huge fan.

Passable, but far from Pop's best work.

I can't tell whether this album is brilliant or shit.

I like Bowie, I like Iggy, I was really expecting to love this but in the end I was a little disappointed. It was fine, good even, but it just didn't meet my expectations. 3*

Another Iggy Pop album…that sounds like most of the other iggy pop albums. Not that I disliked it but it didn’t give me enough change

While I remember liking the other Iggy Pop albums on this list, I was a little annoyed by this one. I really do think it’s a matter of timing, because there’s a lot here I’d normally enjoy. I guess David Bowie was involved, and his influence comes across strongly.

As a fan of The Stooges since I was a teen, Pop and his aforementioned band have always been a favorite for me. His solo work, more hit and miss. The Idiot stands as one of his best works as a solo artist. The ethereal China Girl and the standout Nightclubbing were top tier tracks on this underrated Iggy Pop album, which should really be a Iggy Pop & David Bowie album, given the latter is a producer on the record.

I wasn’t super into it at first but China Girl onwards I really liked it. You can definitely hear how it’s influenced so many bands.

3.4 2x good sound, prefer it over the Iggy stuff i heard in the past

Partway through my second listen. After the first, I was ready to get write "meh" but wow is this growing on me. There's still a lot I don't love, but there's so much that with only a couple listens is pulling me in. One note in this: I think I had the volume too low in my first listen. Just turning it up makes it better and I suspect when I get home and put this on big speakers and crank I may just love a few of the tracks.

I'm not bothering checking whether this was made during Iggy's heroin years, but I'm going out on a limb to say "yes definitely". Nightclubbing is immortal and makes me think of Trainspotting. Sleazemaxxing.

Apparently Bowie helped make it so that probably why it sucks

Iggy Pop’s self-titled album

Garbage why do people like this. Bad bowie bad

Haven't liked some Iggy Pop in the past, but this was enjoyable! Baby and China Girl were the highlights for me. 3.4/5 -> 3/5

Hated the first track but then it really grew on me, really not what I was expecting

Hundleiðinleg plata. MÆLI EKKI MEÐ! Löng lög sem eiga enga innistæðu fyrir því. Hvernig leyfir einhverjum svona manni að gera meira af lögum? Gef ekki eina stjörnu af því að þetta voru ekki óhljóð.

3.5 stars. The first half is stronger than the second half, which kind of drags.

Crazy thing going into this: I did not realize the STRONG collaborative element of David Bowie on this phase of Iggy Pop’s career. But I heard it. And I don’t like it. Sorry, but I really don’t like Bowie. I try. I try. But I think this album actually demonstrates pretty clearly what I am opposed to. The UTTER lack of bass end. The dissonance and a-harmonics all kept tidily in the midrange. I really can’t stand listening to it, as much as I might appreciate it “intellectually.” And that’s the thing. Bowie coming in and helping Iggy get clean and actually keep working is so, so beautiful. Far more beautiful than the music they created. AND I will admit that I DO like Bowie’s version of China Girl better. So how do I rate THIS album? 3 Boolean: true, yeah, it’s true even if you aren’t happy about it.

Another album that unfortunately didn’t hit the high notes for me- a lot of just ‘meh’ on the album. ‘Funtime’ ‘baby’ and ‘dum dum boys’ standing out a little more than the others before a poor poor track to end in ‘mass production’ Below average 4/10 Best track - ‘baby’ Worst track- ‘mass production’

Iggy Pop - The Idiot Bowie works his magic again. First Lou Reed and now this but even more DB this time down to having a hand in writing everything and using his band. Every track is drenched in cold war, Berlin 'grey'. And that is what makes it so magnificent. Guitars drone and wail, basslines hang with menace, drums march time with a fatalistic steadfast beat. Even the 'colour' from piano, keys and Bowie's wheezing saxophone are all just different shades of grey. The album that was left spinning on Ian Curtis's turntable.... Says it all. Best Track - the closing Mass Production. Relentless, never changing gloom, but lifted briefly towards the end with chiming rise and the words "By the way, I'm going for cigarettes". The fag break of life as we head to the end 😁 Worst Track - Dum Dum Boys. Still great though. Listened twice but will pick up on vinyl to listen more, for sure. 9/10

This was kind of fun - I'll have to try it again on a quieter day and see if that makes a difference in how much I like it, since you guys seem to love it!!

Oh hell yes. Nightclubbing is 🔥🔥. I've never listened to the rest of this album until now.

Very blunt style. I enjoyed it! ★★★★

Decent middle park album 3/5

I'm going to be so for real I don't think I liked it. I know iggy pop is like iconic but I think not for me. I liked some of the music but I didn't like his voice really. I thought it was interesting for 1977 half in the future but then some things sounded old. Idk. Not my taste but I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up again in the list so maybe I'll like his other stuff.

поначалу хорошо, потом тягомотина какая-то

Still a no, and this one is not even a bit good.

I know this album well, I've always been keen on it. The music is easy enough to follow, it's stylish, audacious, how did they get so much zing into such simple production! I read Wikipedia and learned some new things, I love to read the complimentary things critics said about it at the time and various people harking back to how influential it was. I'm not fussed by anything like whether Bowie had too much input/influence, I just like the singing (and the lyrics are okay), together with the guitar and all the noises, the moods, the total effect. I listened to this album earlier this year and rated it 10/10 because it was so exciting and fresh-sounding - notwithstanding a couple of tracks I didn't like so much. This time through, I'm cooler on a couple more tracks, and I've been listening to a broader range including some great and serious music, so I'm turning my rating down a notch. I'm still firmly of the view that Sister Midnight, Nightclubbing, Funtime and Mass Production are Incredibly Wonderful songs (exciting at first hearing and still satisfying thereafter) - but that's not enough to make the whole album Incredibly Wonderful. Instead, I'll now say it's Pretty Wonderful, 9/10.

Enjoyment: 5/10 Replayability: 4/10 Cohesion: 5/10 Flow/Pacing: 4/10 Artistic Merit: 5/10 Weighted Average: 4.65/10 Review: I listened to this album 4 times in 24 hours. I tried to like it, but I'm not into the punk or industrial sound. I can respect what it is and why it's meaningful, but it's not for me. Liked Song(s): Nightclubbing, China Girl, Dum Dum Boys Disliked Song(s): Funtime, Mass Production Recommend? Yes Heard Before? No

Pretty cool

I forgot how Bowie-esque this album is, and how much that beautiful warble is on display, what a journey.

Great throughout. Floored by the middle of China girl and held up on second listen

Decent David Bowie album! 3/5 Top Tracks: Nightclubbing, China Doll

Sure. I heard it. It want very exciting for me even given these 2 artists. Save China Girl

Never was a huge Iggy fan

Really hard to quantify, it’s akin to trudging through a marsh after three slugs of ket and then hearing a war horn ring out in the distance, weirdly trancelike and very dystopian. Iggy is synonymous with music performance and I think thats whats missing here, his shrill cry and his skeletal frame convulsing on stage rather than me just sat on my bed with my headphones on feeling rather bewildered

One of the best 4-stars there is. There's not one part of this album I dislike but some of it's tracks are vastly more memorable than others. The opening 2 and mass production are some of the best, moodiest rock songs ever recorded.

Similar to Pere Ubu, I appreciated the sound design and creativity of this album. Many songs sound like they could've been from the 80s or 90s, both due to the forward- thinking composition and the slightly edgy/hedonistic ethos. Unlike the aforementioned, the singer was actually somewhat serviceable though, which was nice. Feeling a light 3

Of course, headphones only take you so far. I’ve never been a fan of iggy pop, while having a sense that some people (hipsters of their day) thought he was edgy? and/or cool? But, musically, just not very interesting, or enjoyable, or … musical. Was a little surprised to hear “China Girl” written by Bowie (and a hit for him maybe 8 years later). Anyway, didn’t enjoy this much; 2 stars

I don't think one should sing like that, all the time. I can't stand it. If it was only occasionally, fine. But not all the time In the same way that DB is not for me, too theatrical, so too this. I think Mass Production is the best track, wherein they realize the dystopian vision most effectively

I can't get over how much better Lust for Life is than this. The production on this is truly awful, but I can see the Joy Division hard edged influence.

Oh, this guy. Is Iggy Pop even real? Do we really know that Pop isn't just some alter-ego created by Bowie: "White Duke", "Ziggy Stardust", "lunatic, smack-head from Wipes'yer'fanny, Michigan (go Eagles)"? I mean, has anyone actually seen Iggy and Bowie in the same room at the same time? Are you sure? I mean, really really sure? Was the room fully lit? Were you on drugs at the time? No shame, but were you? Anyway, it's fine. I'd like to hear more Iggy Pop, less David Bowie next time.

Realmente todo lo que produce bowie es perfecto, no habia escuchado nada de este hombre pero me encantó 8,5/10

It was okay. Nothing especially stood out. I would give it another listen but I am in no hurry.

Wild how vastly different this is to Raw Power. Both excellent surprises

Disclaimer, I’ve only listened to the Stooges before. Iggy seems to have grown into his Jim Morrison voice and taken some notes from Bowie as well. This was fun, loved the synth.

Iggy Pop or David Bowie? Meh

Bowie-Iggy: helt ok

Bra men bara några få toppar efter en lyssning.

Gillar både Iggy Pop och David Bowie, så blev besviken när jag började lyssna på detta. Tog sig efterhand, så betyget landar ändå på en stabil 3a.

Pretty great, loved this version of China Girl, great vibe outside of that

Not bad or anything but not super interesting either though Multiple 7 min songs should be illegal China girl was nice though 3

I like Iggy Pop but this bored me. Next to no dynamic in any of the songs. China Girl and Nightclubbing were the highlights.

Quite good, slower than I was expecting. Didn't realize the Bowie China Girl wasn't the original

I just can’t

Decent album.

kinda average

If I wanted a Bowie album I would have listened to one! Many of these songs are weird, he took one of the most explosive singers of all time and told him to sing like a herb. He comes into his own a bit more by the next solo album.

This was very fun and groovy! This is my first full album exposure to Funkadelic/Parliament cause i still haven’t listened to Maggot Brain, i’m very pleased with this. Standouts are the Title Track, the 4th track (not typing all that) and the Maggot Brain Medley (ik hearing this before the main album is probably a sin).

I can’t listen to Iggy pop without thinking about the movie trainspotting, which isn’t a bad thing. This album was pretty cool, didn’t feel like there was any songs that felt out of place

Hard to listen to this and not think of it as a Bowie album. Probably unfair as they seem to have genuinely influenced each other and Iggy probably needed Bowie on this to break the Stooges shackles. Hot take (not so hot?), is there a finer and more distinctive voice in rock that Iggy Pop? Enjoyed this album.

Kind of a fun album, with Iggy's voice covering his range and the Bowie fingerprints all over it. Not finding that is going to change your life, but listenable nonetheless.

🎧Nightclubbing. We’re nightclubbing.

Classic Iggy Pop

Totally an iconic album, and I really like Iggy Pop, but this didn't really do anything for me musically!

3.5. Still think I like iggy pop more as a concept than as a singer, but I liked this.

To me this sounded like uninspired early goth rock...Iggy Poop

1.5 - There’s not much that I like here, but I do respect Iggy still going on tour and giving as much energy as he does at his age.

I hear a lot of people say that this is David Bowie’s album. If David Bowie did it would’ve been David Bowie’s worst album. Thank goodness with the short tracklist. I hate to give 1 star so

The Idiot comes from one of the best periods/cadre of musicians ever. I saw Iggy live last year and it was like seeing history in action... I couldn't believe this was the same man hanging around the Cold War Berlin in the seventies, singing right in front of me with that lovely resonant voice. What's more, he's still churning out brilliant albums (see: Post-Pop Depression, which is also great because it's technically a QOTSA record). If you're interested in quite a cheesy dramatisation of the Bowie/Pop Berlin era, I very much recommend Reinhard Kleist's graphic novel LOW. (Best scene: where Jim kept stealing Dave's prawns out of the shared fridge in their apartment.)

OK, but definitely not as good as the other album on this list

I was meh on this one

Igggggy!

Very solid record, 3/5. Unfortunately it loses all its points because of 'Tiny Girls' wtf.

Pop Bowie and Visconti

Very solid example of arty post-punk, a lot less raw than the other Iggy/Stooges albums in this list but a lot more Bowie-influenced, which is never a bad thing.

Bowie definitely made his mark on this one, but it’s from a Bowie era that I like so it’s cool

My favorite Iggy Pop project to date! Some great songwriting, kickass guitar, even some headbanging bass grooves at the end. Unfortunately, although I can appreciate Iggy's unflinching commitment to the crunchy jpeg mixing, that is the one dealbreaker that keeps his projects from hitting the 4 star for me. Standouts: Nightclubbing • China Girl • Tiny Girls

Rapidly beginning to believe this album was made for me. The crunch, the atmosphere....perfection. This version of China Girl is so superior I actually couldn't believe it, either.

I thought I was going to enjoy that more. He has better albums.

Pretty much every Bowie produced album on this list gets at least four stars from me, I’ve noticed. Same for this one.

A classic album with David Bowie production. Nice experimentation in early new wave

This just might be the most accurate album title ever

Rarete el rosquete breo. Igual god álbum. Pasé por el evento canónico de muchos. Porque escuché 'Sister Midnight' de Iggy y unos días después 'Red Money' de Bowie (son el mismo tema). No solo me hacían acordar entre los dos, sino que después me enteré que este disco está producido y co-escrito por Bowie. Con razón.

Not my favorite of Iggy Pops work but while listening i wondered if Arctic Monkeys Do I Wanna Know? was inspired or influenced by Nightclubbing…

So this is the album Ian Curtis listened to when he killed himself? It’s not that bad

Basically a Bowie album with Iggys lyrics and vocal. Probably on a par with Heroes album.

Detroit shout out

Maybe let The Genius make the next one

You can tell Bowie produced this, every song sounds like it's from the Berlin trilogy

1001 albums to hear before you pop your iggy 109# I burned my tongue while drinking coffee because I was listening to this. Such a bop. Iggy bops, more like Iggy bop. My guy at 1977 creating timeless music.

Pure neutral. I enjoyed while it was on but didn’t miss it when it was gone. It’s a bit more of a palatable Bowie

Roughly as good as Lust For Life, released by Iggy Pop the same year. Any excuse for weird post-psychedelia, right? Well, Sister Midnight pulls it off well. Weird squawking bird sounds, several distorted wah-wah-ish guitars layered atop one another, an oddly echoey drum part that sounds mildly ahead of its time... Yep, it's Iggy. The next song, Nightclubbing, shines more brightly than any other on the record. The slow, lilting swing rhythm, and that background synth and piano... the atmosphere screams sexy. Not in the nauseating way that artists like Prince occasionally teeter into, mind you. As with all of this guy's songs, I'm not a fan of the vocals; a less quirky impression of 70s Bowie, generally without emotion or spark, fails to impress. Funtime and Baby close out side A with decent but unremarkable synth-pop-rock pieces. We arrive at China Girl, the absolute worst vocal thus far. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the lyrics are a little... non-politically-correct, I guess? Calling your Asian partner a China Girl isn't doing you any favours, Iggy. Bowie co-composed the song and released his own version in 1983, and I have the same problem with that one. Also, "I'd feel tragic / Like I was Marlon Brando / When I'd look at my China girl" is kind of goofy. Fortunately though, vocals aside, the song's overall sound is actually really good. Great outro instrumental. Dum Dum Boys rocks hard, particularly in the guitar and bass, and the chord progression is simple yet satisfying. Though seven minutes is longer than I'd prefer. I shouldn't like the song Tiny Girl, but that soft drifting psychedelic atmosphere is too darn satisfying to ignore. A solid tune despite the boldly gross lyrics. The finale, Mass Production, gets a little too dissonant to ignore, but the synths are kind of cool (if extremely dated). 3/5 Key tracks: Sister Midnight, Nightclubbing, Tiny Girl

Very good.

Interesting album. I'd heard Iggy Pop's name a bunch but this is the first time properly listening to his music. David Bowie-esque sound and vibe and enjoyable overall

Not bad, interesting lore with Bowie

Stupid weird and kinda cool.

Precursor mais pas bon

Удивительно услышать от дедушки панка такой альбом. Это вообще не панк, скорее такой довольно экспериментальный нью-вейв. Вообще он звучит как альбом Боуи, что неудивительно - он принимал в записи активное участие. В общем, интересный альбом, довольно атмосферный и немного загадочный.

I really really like the first 4 songs of this album. But the last 4 songs are in my humble opinion not that good. So if all the tracks would be that great like the first 4 songs I would give this album 5 out of 5. Because the last 4 tracks aren't that good: 3/5

My takeaway is that I should definitely listen to this album more. A darker and more ironic album than the punkier Lust for Life with its own story to tell.

i guess iggy pop really is an idiot, he cant make a good album

Cada vez estoy más convencido que la persona que hizo esta lista estaba desempleada y no tenía nada mejor que hacer, entonces armó una lista sin criterio alguno e hizo que sabía lo que estaba haciendo.

Quería que me interese, pero nunca lo hizo. No está mal, hay canciones que están bien, pero no se cuales ni creo que vaya a ir a buscarlas. Album x.

No private session used for Spotify. Oddly this is one of the albums that Spotify keeps recommending for today, like every day for the past two years, because of that I have been refusing to listen to it. That time is up. It's pretty mellow, slow paced and dull which doesn't match the image of Iggy I have in my head. I don't need to hear this again, it's like bad Bowie but sung by someone who should be focusing on the drums. Please, Spotify, stop recommending this for the day.

Iggy Pop has one of my favorite voices in music.

the second half was okay

Enjoyed this, something different from my usual picks and clearly a legend of the underground/punk scene

I could listen to Iggy all day Best Song: China Girl Rating: 8/10 Stars: 4

mass production contains possibly the worst bassline ever recorded

He definitely had some fun with Bowie

Second iggy pop album. First one was just ok from what I remember. Cool sounds on sister midnight. Vocals kinda bullshit. Overall pretty cool song. Really good musical open and then guitar solo on night clubbing. Much better vocals. Good song. Funtime is fine. Very 70s. Fun enough song but goofy lyrics. Baby is much better written. Pretty cool production too. Good song. China girl is a classic 70s pop song. Lots of good elements. Cool strings/horns. Another pretty good song. Good change of pace with dum dum boys. Needed a slower song. Doesn’t feel like a 7 min song which is a good sign. Tiny girls is fine, forgettable song. I really like he open to mass production. This is just another really good song. This album is so much better than listening to for life. Probably helps tant I had some intro to iggy prior to this too. Fun album. Ahead of its time. 3.3/5.

Sounds ominous but China Girl is great

My introduction to Iggy Pop is his feature on Slash's 2010 solo album. Love that song & what Iggy brought to it. Though, I've never listened to his music, I've always respected the goat. Surprisingly, I haven't heard anything that I recognize. This so far is a decent album. Just punk enough to be fun, just spacey enough to make my brain settle down. Did Iggy Pop unintentionally create goth?

I'm glad he kicked the smack and everything but The Idiot hardly compares with the inspiration it draws from.

Don't really see the appeal of Iggy Pop.

It literally sounds like Iggy Pop singing a David Bowie album. Which makes sense since Bowie produced it. It grew on me though.

It is September 1977. Iggy Pop dons his lizard skin and moves quietly into the New York night. He slides in and out of the punk clubs, glides up and down dark streets, eats two city council members, and makes violent peculiar love to an unknown number of women. At 4 AM, he returns to his lair, removes the lizard skin, and composes in music the stories of his night. He sleeps four hours, awakes refreshed, and has a bagel with schmear at the café on the corner. It’s delicious.

very unique voice.. got annoying after a while.

I really really expected to like this. I liked the other album from the same year that’s on this list! Maybe I’m just in a bad mood, but homie sounded like RFK Jr on parts of this album.

Proto-punk. Always welcome.

Какой-то обрыган упал в колодец и поет оттуда песни (просто ня)

Да, Боуи тут слышен отовсюду. Но что в этом плохого? Я с удовольствием послушаю любой альбом, который хоть как-то напоминает Low. Звучит все это охеренно, песни классные, харизма Игги иногда проскакивает сквозь микрофон и полвека. Ничего не затянуто, все бодренько и качово. На то и нужны друзья.

Глубоко уважаю их дружбу, но все-таки при продюсировании хотелось бы слышать не Боуи 2.0. На втором альбоме получилось в этом плане получше, хотя там прошло сколько? 3 секунды? А так все супер. На последней песне подумала, что на улице начался ремонт дороги. Мы с котом офигели.

Альбом хороший, но в первую очередь спасибо Галату (или кто там Мэйби Бэйби тексты пишет) за следующие строчки: Культовей Игги Попа Плюс у меня как у Игги попа

не особо понравилось и не запомнилось особо ничего, звучит вроде ок, но не более - пусть будет 3

This is a high 3, really good

just not for me

Bowie uplifts everything he touches. This is a step above Iggy ever did by himself or with the Stooges. Iggy is still such a sleazeball, even Bowie can't shine him up. Described as being a cross between Kraftwerk and James Brown, I see what they were going for.

Latter half is great

This was fine, but not astounding.

love love love

Le daría 10 estrellas pero solo hay 5.

solid 4. Definitivamente meu favorito do Iggy

Dum dum boys es excelente pero igual el resto lo escucharía tranquilamente

It's very interesting to hear Iggy's original version of "China Girl." I do like his voice, but I'm not particularly grabbed by much of this. Maybe the issue is that I've heard the derivative/influenced things, so it's not new anymore. "Tiny Girls" is unexpectedly jazzy, though.

Some cool ideas and vibes.. but kinda meh

I think this is the strongest Iggy album.

I had attempted to write something more poetic and interesting, but I’m neither, so instead I will say this: Iggy Pop is very good. ‘The Idiot’ is very good. Bowie pretty much wrote and produced most of it, and his regular peeps played on it. That shouldn’t take away anything from Iggy, as it’s his performance that elevates this. It’s an essential album, and arguably his best.

A cold and minimal album that feels very different from Iggy Pop’s earlier work. The influence of David Bowie is clear, especially in the detached atmosphere and restrained sound. Dum Dum Boys stood out to me, perhaps because of my appreciation for The Stooges. There’s a sense of distance and reflection that contrasts with the raw energy of his past work.

May be Iggy’s best solo album.

Initial impressions were that I wasn't going to get into this. Sluggish, flat sound, and droning. But then it clicked for me, Iggy shows his wailing crooner side, the songs started hitting with me. By the end, I loved Mass Production. Still don't love the production. The drum sound in particular is not very crisp. But there's a lot of other sounds that feel like they're being invented out of whole cloth. It sounds like, but sounds better than, what Joy Division would be doing in a few years. Definitely grew on me. Convinced by the end that it belongs in the list. 4.5/5

The sound of being coked out in a Berlin disco at three in the morning. 1975. Heart racing, music scratching at your brain, hangers on hanging on just to be seen. Not your stooges iggy. Great album.

Pretty good dissonance rock. I got a free bump in the bathroom of the bar I was leaving and it enhanced the drive back home.

The first two tracks of "The Idiot" were underwhelming. When "Funtime" began playing, listening to the album became worthwhile. I didn't know Iggy Pop did "China Girl" first; I always assumed Bowie wrote it. The problems I had with "The Idiot" went away by the time it ended. Let's see what the final album of the week has in store. 4 stars for "The Idiot".

Liked this one. Had never heard it but knew it was Bowie produced almost immediately. Sounds like the Berlin trilogy.

Queensberry Hotel morning

This was a collab between Iggy and Bowie, and it shows. I like Bowie, and I appreciated Iggy from the few hits he has, but this is the first proper album of his I listened to. I can hear the talent of the musicians, and I like his rock voice, but his songwriting is only decent. There are a couple of jump-shocks in terms of lyrics, but the majority of the songs seemed a little distant. I did like "China Girl".

A true Iggy Bowie collab in the best ways. Feels like a real piece of music history.

Jeg gruede lidt for det her, men det var bedre end frygtet. Nightclubbing er et kæmpe nummer først og fremmest, man kan tydeligt høre Bowie i hele albummet. Det er nok en ok stærk 3'er, jeg er tæt på 4

røvfedt, og de to første numre er jo sindssyge anede ikke, at china girl var et Iggy Pop-nummer. Her har jeg gået og hørt det som et Bowie-nummer og holdt mig selv for nar jeg synes sgu, det er fedt, det her. for mig bliver det et lovechild mellem Lou Reed, Bowie og så bare en masse stoffer - det kan man sgu da kun synes godt om! 3.9

Good album.

I like Iggy Pop but I feel there are a bit too much on this list. It's not revolutionary just his solo album instead of with the stooges that still was kinda his solo thing anyways.

I was expecting a Stooges album, instead I am confused and delighted as I am listening to an album that blends Bowie, Morrison, and Lou Reed. I prefer this version of China Girl. This feel strange to call it a Iggy Pop album, when it clearly sounds like a Bowie album. The first side was great and then side two tops it! I will be adding this to my want list.

3.5. I liked it, but some of the songs are a slog.

Pretty cool album, sounds great, production is brilliant. Has Bowie all over it.

I liked these, funtime and sister midnight was nice. I could tell that david bowie worked on these tho which was nice

I really liked this - essentially a 70s Bowie album with the vocal duties handed over. Accidentally listened to it once on shuffle so I listened to it again in the right order. This gave me a better sense of what it was about and I enjoyed it a lot more the second time. Iggy’s vocals are an acquired taste, but it still works.

I like some of Iggy’s work and this was ok but doesn’t have the raw energy of some other songs and seemed rather mild in comparison. Not sure about the cover of china doll on it as just didn’t quite seem to fit his range.

Totaal ander album dan de eerdere Iggy Pop/Stooges albums. Ik kan me heel goed voorstellen dat fans van Iggy dit echt 3x niks vonden/vinden. Ik ben gelukkig geen fan van Iggy, dus ja ik vind dit best prima. Het is instrumentaal een stuk interessanter dan de snoeiharde punk die hij solo maakt. Het is wel wat lafjes vergeleken daarmee, de energie ligt een stuk lager dan voorheen. De Bowie invloeden zijn overduidelijk, net als dat dit stiekem een David Bowie album is, maar dan met de zang van Iggy erbij. En dat maakt het meteen lastig, want Iggy is natuurlijk niet een hele goede zanger. Dat weet ik, dat weet hij zelf waarschijnlijk ook. En dat is prima, mensen zullen niet snel een Iggy Pop album aanzetten voor de prachtige gezongen nummers. Maar dat is dus wel een beetje waar dit specifieke album meer op doelt. Dit album vraagt vocaal gewoon een stuk meer dan Iggy eigenlijk kan leveren. Tiny Girls, tsja een nummer met een saxofoon. God wat ben ik toch een simpel ventje eigenlijk, maar dat vind ik dan onmiddelijk een van de mooiere nummers op het album. Alles bij elkaar? Prima album van Iggy, het verliest wel een beetje het rauwige van zn eerdere, maar daardoor trek ik het weer een stukje beter. Wel jammer dat het daardoor wel heel erg voelt als een album wat niet echt van hem is. Lijkt me ook niet echt de bedoeling... FAVO:Nightclubbing, Tiny Girls,

interesting

I quite enjoyed this one! This is an artist I've heard the name of but never properly checked out, besides listening to a couple songs. I'm glad I had the chance to listen through this, as I'd like to listen to more of his stuff!

I was a little bit disappointed with this compared to the previous album I had. It never really grabbed me, and while there were some good songs the album never maintained it. Tiny Girls was the standout by a long shot. 3 stars

Way better than I thought it would be. Each song is like a dark show tune (without sounding like a show tune), like stories. Solid.

It's Iggy Pop, you either love him or you hate him. I prefer his work with The Stooges over his solo work, but this album sonically slaps.

The only Iggy pop song I know is Passenger (like most people). I thought to myself 'he's been around for ages, surely he has to have something better than that cause it's absolute shite.' Dear reader I was so wrong. It's all really bad.

This was a Funtime.

Amazinh art hard rock one of the best ever

An interesting one in terms of Bowies impact and especially of "China Girl". Not easy for me to rate because musically it is mainly a Bowie-album (which I like) but with much worse vocals. favourite: "Nightclubbing" 2,5

I didn’t expect this to become one of my favourites

аааааа, name more iconic duo that this. звучання неймовірне, електронно-панково-постпанково-індустріальне і навіть джазове місцями (так, я про цю саму пісню). альбом без перемотувань, кожна пісня чудова, улюблена з альбому Nightclubbing. honorable mention - Mass Production (більш сирий і брудний брат Station to Station), дуже темне звучання.

Favorite Track: Nightclubbing

The punk vocals can be a bit hit or miss for me. Sometimes it can be a bit grating but occasionally it really works for me. The instrumentals are really enjoyable throughout, there’s a sort of dark, moody tone that’s also still quite groovy. They can be somewhat repetitive though in a few songs. The stand out is without doubt “China Girl”, it’s amazing. I also really enjoy the first couple of minutes of “Dum Dum Boys”, and “Nightclubbing” is a bit of bop.

How could you not give this a 5 so many bangers on it.

sometimes terrible people make great music and you have to grapple with the incongruence of morality and artistry thankfully this braying warbly pedophile had the decency to make bad music and we can sidestep the discomfort

cool but a lil creepy

Nightclubbing Funtime China Girl Dum Dum Boys

Enjoyed it. Definitely missing some of the raw energy that Iggy Pop is known for. 3/5 Might listen again

Vraiment David Bowie en moins bien, pas terrible

One of my favorite albums of all time. Can't give it a 5 cause Tiny Girls is fuckin' indefensible.

Great album! I'm a huge Bowie fan, but still making my way around Bowie's satellite artist. Bowie's DNA is all over this album, but Iggy Pop brings the material to life with his performance. This is an album I will definitely revist. Nearly a 5 star, but I'm going to keep it at a 4 for now although I could certainly see this growing into a 5 star album for me. Favorite Track - Sister Midnight Least Favorite Track - China Girl (simply cause I like Bowie's version more) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had been putting off listening to this for so long. God knows why. Another shining light in Bowie’s path, although it’s unfair not to mention Iggy Pop’s raw energy that is brought to the table. The production is SO odd, but really works. Also, I prefer this album’s version of China Girl. Highlights: Sister Midnight, Nightclubbing, Funtime, Baby, Dum Dum Boys Lowlight: China Girl

The first of Iggy's Berlin albums with David Bowie is quite forward thinking for 1977. There's an early dance music influence here that wouldn't become more widespread in rock music for a several years. A couple of songs here would become hits for other artists in the 80's, "China Girl" for Bowie, and "Nightclubbing" for Grace Jones. This is also a great example that illustrates how Post-Punk and Punk were completely different movements that came about at around the same time, and that there's nothing "post-"punk about Post-Punk. Reportedly this was the last album Ian Curtis listened to before taking his own life. Eerie. Key tracks: Sister Midnight Nightclubbing China Girl

Pas mauvais, pas marquant.

Cold post-punk and proto-industrial rock built on mechanical rhythms, synth pulses, minimal guitars, and detached, baritone vocals moves with stark, hypnotic control. Listening feels like walking through a dim, concrete city at night where every step echoes in empty space. The result is haunting and distinctive at first and ITS rigid repetition feels ultimately boring and I was just hoping the album would end soon

Iggy's debut shows a man who is more than a rock singer, but certainly a proper artist. It's a great album with many different styles and art rock. Herein lies somewhat of a problem: To me, it all sounds like a David Bowie album without Bowie doing the vocals, but nearly everything else. That means that Iggy Pop is here still in that limbo between The Stooges and his own identity as an independent rock artist. The next album, "Lust for Life", is a lot better in my opinion.

My only deduction is for myself, how have I not heard this before? I am buying the album tomorrow.

Like most David Bowie albums, there is always at least one song where he starts making sense. Funny that this was cowritten by him as well. Curious.

When your mum says you've got Bowie at home. I don't care for this.

Was alright

This is just a way to sneak more Bowie onto this list.

Жожи не было, только жижа
