Lust For Life

Very good. Knew the big 2 songs. Surprised at how pop it sounded and the Bowie influence is clear. Dips a little on the B side.

Notable tracks: Lust for Life, The Passenger, Turn Blue Pretty middle of the road. Some tracks feel a little samey. 6/10

Thought this album was a mixed bag. The sound was really good, distinct and fun, but I didn’t care for a lot of the lyrics throughout the songs. Especially on Turn Blue. Kinda weird. Standouts: The Passenger, Tonight, and Neighborhood Threat.

This is a weird one - at points it's grungey, sometimes sounds like The Doors meets Bowie, other times it's ankle-deep in Britpop. Not something that I think I'd revisit but an interesting listen

Not really for me. It definitely picked up as it went on but still, I'm indifferent to it. Since this was a collab with Bowie, whom I also am indifferent to, this didn't speak to me in the end.

Fairly decent. Only must Skip is Turn Blue

69/100

This was cool Wouldn’t listen again but lust for life is a rammer

3 stars

A couple of truly great tracks but the rest of the album can't maintain that standard.

Está bien, pero sin mas

The Passenger is a great track. Never gets old. Lust for Life good too. Tonight sounds quite Bowiesque. But the rest is just a bit samey. Not bad.

The Passenger, what a riff. Lust For Life, what a drum beat. Tonight, what a song. Otherwise, underwhelming.

Pretty good but didn’t have the wow factor. I like the Bowie influence, didn’t realise he was so involved. Sixteen was creepy.

Has two undeniable hits, the rest of this sounds like a David Bowie album but not as good. Some of the songs are not that good and go over 6 minutes long. I will rate this higher than it deserves for the singles. B

Absolutely loved The Passenger, but most of the other songs ranged from enjoyable to questionable. Overall the energy wasn't exactly my taste? But I still had a good time. The Passenger may become an all-time favourite.

Some really good stuff with some other stuff that hasn't aged as well.

Fun!

Lust for Life ✅ Sweet Sixteen ✅ Some Weird Sin - can tell Bowie's influence, top tune ✅ Passenger ✅ (Great opening 4 tracks) Tonight ✅ another solid song with heavy Bowie undertones. Reminds me of the pixies. Success ✅ - not bad, still heavy Bowie influence, with a hint of Neil Young Turn Blue ❎ weakest track so far, skip able Neighborhood Threat ✅ Picked it up again Fall in love with me ❎ one of the weaker ones, does remind me of some of Bowie's weaker songs Overall not a bad album... Probs about 7/10

Not bad. I really liked the vocals, kind of a fun listen.

Very enjoyable album with a few classic tracks

Good for bg music, but not really exciting

I didn't realize how many of IP's songs that I knew were all on this one album: "Fall In Love With Me," "The Passenger," and of course the title track. Nice that the title track is frist, so that can be put out of the way. It's not that I dislike it, it's just overplayed. Anyone who mentions Iggy Pop, "Lust For Life" is normally the song that pops into one's head. The other songs had a bit of a bravado / punk-ish vibe to it. But they did not hit me as much as I was hoping. As for "The Passenger," I had heard the song a bunch of times in ads and such but did not place it even was Iggy Pop. So there you go, you learn something new every day. I enjoyed the album and the songs that I knew, but the other songs did not hit me as much as I was expecting. So... three it is.

Meh. Iggy Pop on his own is a lot like when he's with the Stooges to me. Some good songs but not enough for a whole dynamite album, and I'd rather just have his greatest hits. The title track and Passengers are classics - great, catchy songs. The rest I kind of shrug my shoulders at, except at times being slightly intrigued by Sixteen, Success, and Neighborhood Threat. Moving on...

3.5

Eccentric pop, what a coool cat. His mannerisms remind me of Prince a bit. I can see why people like Iggy. 3.4

Have never heard any of his music at all. Have definitely heard of this first track. Pretty good album. Very different. Not poppy but not super rocking.

Couple good tracks on here - listenable - not bad.

Better lyrics than I expected. And some interesting bits.

First Iggy Pop album I've listened to and it was enjoyable enough. Would've hit different listening to it back in the late 70s. Still holds up though.

The Passenger and Lust for Life stick out - as they were covered and used over and over again in media. Aside from that, not much here.

well it's good, kinda scary 3/5

Bijzonder album is dit altijd, gezien de tijdsgeest. De 'Godfather of Punk' die in het begin van zijn solo carrière mee surft op de punk-golf van 1977. De vloedgolf die voor een groot deel werd veroorzaakt door een garage rock-beving onder het wateroppervlak, bijna tien jaar eerder, met als epicentrum 'The Stooges'. Echter, los van de rammelende rock 'n roll klassieker 'Lust For Life', waarmee het bal opent, biedt het album meer dan de energieke, eentonige punkmuziek van dat jaar. De mix van krautrock, art rock en glam is duidelijk een cocktail geschud door David Bowie, en reflecteert tot op zekere hoogte de ambiance van 70s Berlijn. Vermakelijke rockplaat, die bij vlagen veel meer schuurt tegen een bluesy Stones album dan dat het hoekige debuut ''The Idiot'' uit hetzelfde jaar dat deed. Toch ontbreekt het bij mij aan echt prikkelende momenten, naast de twee klassiekers. Waar het debuutalbum echt een uniek product leverde, gecreëerd in bijzondere omstandigheden (een groepje coke snuivende en pillen poppende kunstenaars in een extravagante stad, ver van huis), vind ik dit niet meer dan een verzameling muziek die nét iets te bekend voor komt. Nogal veilig, voor Iggy's doen, vooral als je bedenkt hoe baanbrekend zijn werk een decennium eerder was. De afsluiter maakt een hoop goed. Die laat het bloed weer wat sneller stromen. 7/10 Highlights: Lust For Life Fall In Love With Me

Good enough but nothing special

It was okay.

Some bangers, some filler.

Sweet sixteen a little rapey

Not really my thing, but it’s pretty solid overall. 6/10

It’s fun, it’s light. Perfect for throwing on at a party or a road trip.

✅✅ while having a fair amount of influence from Bowie, this feels distinctly punk in a way that Bowie at his most confrontational never did. It still feels fresh, the vocals in parts almost sound like something from the aughts. wildly ahead of its time. might bump to ✅✅✅ with time.

Underwhelming, second track is awful

Was expecting something a bit edgier. David Bowie’s influence is heavily felt. pretty standard pop music, probably a little bit ahead of the trend at the time. Not a stand out for me.

3.5 out of 5 Stars. I can’t help but tie Iggy Pop and his songs to Trainspotting, and the starting song’s energy still feels as frenetic as a junkie running from the cops high on heroine and adrenaline. What struck me on this album is how refreshing it must have been to hear this sound in the late 70s. As things were becoming more digitized and electronic, here were some stooges that could put on a stripped down, energetic show. Most of the songs are kinda forgettable tbh

Iggy Pop reads on paper like his stuff would be right up my alley but I just can’t get into him.

yes, well

its fine. i did dig 'Turn Blue' and 'The Passenger', but I don't think I can give it a higher score on account of 'Sixteen'... which is very clearly about... well, banging a 16 year old

A good solo outing for Iggy.

Better than I remember and than expected. Could see myself going back another time if out of other music.

Fine enough

Knew more of these songs than I gave myself credit for. Thought I just didn’t know any Iggy Pop by the unforgettable What Happens in Vegas commercials featured Lust For Life

2.5ish but I’ll round up. Can hear the Bowie fingerprints

It was good. I don’t know how to explain it other than 70s 60s rock.

Fine easy listening. Nothing overly memorable but a decent listen.

Good

OK, knew it before

Half timeless bops, half faux Floyd 70s rock opera that didn't land for me. Punk half was great.

Some tracks were a little “yelly” for me but it was overall interesting.

I'm more of a stooges guy. I hate lust for life, but I love the passenger. Everything else is solid if not great. Classic 3.

Good album, but a little uneven. Amazing how polished it all is considering the outsider feel Iggy portrays.

Føle meg programforplikta til å lika Iggy Pop bedre enn eg gjør, men har fortsatt ikkje følt på kallet

Didn't inspire me enough to seriously engage with the music and my experience of it to write a long/funny review.

i liked the two big songs on here! but struggled to really have an opinion on anything else.

decent album. crazy how huge the title track and the passenger are, and everything else here languishes in relative obscurity. iggy pop is certainly an icon of the counterculture zeitgeist from this era, though perhaps a bit of a troubled soul... with that said, I'm not a huge fan of the stooges' sound or output. there's way more music i'd rather listen to and actually enjoy. this solo album is similar. love the huge tracks but none of the other stuff really impressed me. long tracks, got bored, 3 stars. favorites: lust for life, the passenger, tonight

Skimming these two albums to catch up. This one is pretty okay. Seems just like an album made to be watched live and misses a lot of excitement over headphones. Could be higher but prob average a 2-3 star.

Fun album, some parts were not for me. I thought ‘The passenger’ stood out as the best song.

Good

Fun Album, My uncle really loves Iggy Pop, but.. He scares me, such a pasty saccharin smile, and why is he staring at me like that??? I don't think I can revisit this album because listening to it again would mean I have to click past that horrifying human construct.

Passengers - great hook, very red hot chili peppers. Tonight - I dig. Sounds like David Bowie. Success - bluesy and boring

Not exactly my style but I did enjoy listening, my favorite track was “Lust For Life”

Pretty decent I liked a couple of songs. The story behind it was very interesting.

Solid Iggy

Interesting but forgettable.

3.5 Another day, another David Bowie album in the form of an Iggy Pop release. Mostly kidding - while you can still very much hear Bowie’s voice in this (literally at times), you can also definitely tell Iggy was starting to take more ownership of his music with this record. I mean, yes, seven of the nine songs here are credited as having been composed by Bowie, so the umbilical cord clearly wasn’t fully cut, but I think the musical partnership between the two is strongly felt here, most noticeably in the sense that this sounds much more like an evolved Stooges album than its predecessor. And as it so happens, two of Iggy’s fine moments came from this particular partnered effort as well - Lust for Life and The Passenger. I probably don’t have anything to say about either track that hasn’t already been said a million times over, but they are two songs that I believe have gone on to define his career and that I genuinely feel emanate a sense of greatness as you’re listening. Sooo, it’s kind of unfortunate that the rest of this album just doesn’t really hold a candle. There’s nothing here that’s bad (though admittedly the opening lines of Turn Blue made me do a double take), but there’s also nothing here that gets anywhere near the high of the two hits. The closing track, Fall in Love With Me, is probably about as close as it gets, but even then, I still wouldn’t consider it in the same ballpark. The end result is you get a good, but uneven feeling album, so while I enjoyed this, I honestly just don’t feel it’s structured as well as The Idiot is. Definitely a must-listen for an Iggy Pop fan, but it’s not his best (or probably even his second-best) work.

Very top heavy record with great hits up front. Pretty good as far as solo efforts are concerned

Well I can see (hear) the influence he had on music 20 years later. And to be honest I think Iggy did it better. This is quite a good album, not something I would rave over, but certainly worth the occasional listen. Would I buy it? Yes I would, but I wouldn't go looking for it especially. A very high 3.

Great album. A couple of those songs I knew while, but had no idea they were by Iggy Pop. I thought the whole thing was excellent.

It’s ok

Minimum 3 stars just for Lust & Passenger. Not sure I love it quite enough to push it up to 4 though.

Blegh

The Passenger and Lust for Life are obviously the stand out tracks here, there are a couple other songs I think are good, but not enough to warrant a 4. Overall I would describe this album as "fine"; it has it's moments and I can hear the Bowie influence. 3.5

Good

It’s a good listen for sure

Lust for life and the Passenger are pretty decent and the rest is okay. Fine background music

Iggy is a creep. Some of these songs were good, the rest were meh

Muy bueno.

Fun 70's rock from a legend.

It's mostly good, with one standout title track. Always thought the rest of it felt underbaked though.

Everybody knows and loves the classic title track and The Passenger. None of the other songs quite keep up to the same quality, and the trio of songs following Passenger really bring the album down. Some Weird Sin and Neighborhood Threat are quality songs, but a 4/9 success rate doesn’t make a classic album.

I waited too long to rate this one I remember liking it kind of but nothing stood out as super memorable 3-4

Forgetful but not bad

2 great songs, the rest was decidely blegh.

Pretty Good. Passenger is a long time favorite.

Lust for life and Passenger are amazing songs. The rest of the album was alright, but not memorable, I have no urge to repeat again 3

Not my thing.

Gear: Hifiman Arya Mix (2017 Remaster): tendenziell zu heiß und wenig unspektakulär Musik: "Lust for Life" und "The Passenger" absolute Klassiker, hinten raus überraschend auch weitaus weniger "Raw Power" und mehr Bowie (insb. "Success" und "Neighborhood Threat") Wertung: 🍌🍌🍌(🍌)/5

There's some pretty recognisable tracks off of this, it's just a tad unfortunate that the rest of the songs don't quite deliver on the same level. The last track, however, was a really great album closer.

Title track is good and known. Rest of album was ok

Sounds like David Bowie

3.5

Good

it was ok, not sure if it is one of the 1000 top ever, but no complaints

Interesting listen. Definitely get a sense of the Iggy & Bowie connection after listening.

3.8

Normal rock n roll sound

Songs I liked: Lust for Life, The Passenger

Easy listen fav song the passenger

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would. 2.66 per track.

The title track is pretty fun, but the rest is a bit forgettable really. Not bad, just forgettable.

It just didnt excite me rn idk why. It was kinda boring

Kult, et par dritbra hits og mange gode låter men ingen mindblowing rockeopplevelse personlig. Godt album og legendarisk for sin tid.

it's decent but not interesting enough for me to relisten

5/10 this is the standard. Not bad, couple saves. Some were weird. Saves are good though.

Se nota para bien (contención) la producción de David Bowie. Dos grandes canciones, otra cedida por Bowie y el resto flojea.

Good listen, power punk. I got more into it as it went on. I knew a few, favorited a couple more. Was not aware of the history and extent of Bowie’s involvement. Will be digging into the earlier stuff and revisiting this one. 3.5/5

Seeing Iggy Pop in 1987 on the same bill with The Smithereens, Ziggy Marley, Guns N’ Roses and INXS is hard to top. Unless of course he were to wear see through clear cellophane pants the whole show, which of course he did. A departure from his highly influential Stooges period, this album overall did not disappoint. “Turn Blue” was a bit of a slog, but the rest I found enjoyable. Especially “The Passenger” which would be covered most excellently ten years later by Siouxsie and the Banshees. The biggest puzzle to me is the cover art photo, which looks like something you’d find on an employee badge for someone who didn’t finish his TPS reports. Still, I’ll be revisiting this one.

Nice lil album. Lust for Life is certainly an iconic song and enjoyed quite a few on this. Rebel! Fight the man! The Passenger reminded me of something but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I think Green Day took “inspiration” from that for Holiday.

3.4 stars rounded down. "Lust for Life" and "The Passenger" are standouts. "Some Weird Sin" and "Fall in Love With Me" are also solid tracks.

First-time listener. Had heard the title track, and this is one of my top picks off the album. I enjoyed some of the guitar riffs and cowbell. Not a fan of Iggy's voice, and it seemed to change in different tracks, sometimes coming across like he was trying to portray Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison. I found Success annoying after a while, but ended humorously. Turn Blue gave me an Elvis on heroin vibe. It seemed like some of the songs were just improv, maybe like it was a live performance and also just high on heroin. Lyrics mostly seemed shallow, or just nonsense. Maybe I would have liked it as a teenager in 1977. There are a couple of tunes that I might listen to again. Others I might have if the vocals were different. Neighborhood Threat is my top pick and enjoyed the ominous sound, just found the vocals a bit cringey.

3.85/5 This album hits sometimes and misses others. When it hits, though, it hits. Hard. Most of the songs either didn’t hit as hard as I thought they would or Iggy Pop is a little more twisted than I thought. From “Lust For Life”’s chaotic opening, to the twisted realm of “Turn Blue”, to the absolute comedy gold that is “Success”, Iggy Pop displays a lot of emotions here. He’s joking in one song and apathetic in the next, and in the one after that, he cruises on by like Tony Marston in And Then There Were None without a care. This album confidently gets a 77/100, or a 3.85/5. Fav: “Success” Least Fav: “Turn Blue”

It's ok. Despite a couple of real classics on here I won't be rushing back. Patchy.

Alright

He's a weird old fella but the album is pretty good

Какая ж у него жажда жизни, какой же он весёлый. О, я знаю the Passenger. Неплохая песня ) Ну в целом альбом норм. Позитивный парень, наверное, у него будет хорошая и добрая жизнь у этого игги попа ахахахах ой.

Some icons on here, a good album

I had to go back and listen to the Stooges after this because I was shocked this was still Iggy Pop. I really didn't like his older work, and while this was better for me, I still didnt love it. I did like The Passenger and Tonight, though.

Surprised how much I liked it. Very Stones-esque. Title track is a banger.

Not bad

Not what I expected…probably a good thing.

not my style

ok...

The Passenger alone gets this to three stars. The rest is good, not great.

Iggy is great. A man very much with a Lust for Life and great music. The title track and Passengers are pieces of music that seem immune to the passage of time and fashion. The rest is solid enough, but shows it age more. A couple definitely tell of time with Bowie.

Great album

Medium; they all sounded the same but good songs to listen to in the car I guess And I felt like I was in a movie

Not my jam but can jam

Good album, I liked the Bowie influence/contribution. Interested in any other collabs between these two!

Love Stooges, find Iggy a bit meh. This is better than the Idiot, but not by a long way. Title track, Passenger and fall in love with me doing a lot of heavy lifting here

Well, I've never been a fan of Iggy Pop, but this wasn't bad. I'd listen to it again, and may check out some of his newer stuff.

Stand out tracks: Lust for Life, Passenger, and Success

Pop rock, with I fluences ranging from punky to slightly operatic

I am biased on this album haha But again, I feeeeel like it’s a bit too repetitive for me

Of course I knew the hits well - it’s aagin what I expected from the late 70s punkish era. Two songs kind of stood out - Tuen Blue and Fall In Love With Me. I guess the legend of Iggy is in his live shows - the album was just kind of uninspiring.

Pretty good album. The Passenger is definitely my favorite track.

Never really gave Iggy Pop much attention before. 'Lust for Life' is immediately recognizable, had no idea i) what this song was called, ii) that Iggy Pop wrote/sang it and iii) that it was this old! Great song, wonderful way to start the album. Then we immediately go to 'Sixteen' which feels VERY dated... 'show you my explosion / sweet sixteen' are lyrics that are hard to listen to in 2024 and this track alone is likely to lose the album a star. Track 4 is 'Passenger,' another song I recognize and like. I'm surprised by the number of songs I know here. The rest of the album was pretty meh... 3/5

Not gonna lie I only listened to the first three songs. They were decent but I wasn’t wowed. I was excited to listen to this tho because iggy pop is one of those people I’ve always heard about but knew nothing about him. I liked the wiki bit about him with ziggy (coincidence on the rhyming??) stardust. Other than that cool little factoid, I’m just kinda meh.

Enjoyable to listen through. Had multiple songs that I had heard but didn’t know the name to (namely The Passenger and Lust For Life). I have always heard of Iggy Pop, but didn’t know if I knew any of his songs. Glad this one came up on the list.

The first half of the album is incredibly strong, with a classic in The Passenger and a giant in the licensing/advertisement industry with Lust For Life. But once you get to the third quarter of this album it becomes very bluesy and slows way down. The last quart picks up slightly but doesn’t finish in a memorable way. Of the 70s/80s rock stars I feel like you rarely hear about Iggy Pop and that’s unfair, because I don’t think this album should be overlooked.

Another album that I should enjoy more than I do. I know that Iggy Pop is a major influence for the Punk movement, but does that mean I have to like him? Do I have to like Doom to enjoy Call of Duty? Do I have to like newspaper comic strips to enjoy cartoons? Do I have to like 2001: A Space Odyssey to like Interstellar? That being said, it's not like the album was difficult to listen to. I just probably won't be coming back to it.

I’m not a natural Bowie fan. My other half had helped me get into him but there’s something about him I’ve found off-putting. Something about the constant ch-ch-changes in persona. Or something about slightly off Centre about his music? Anyway, I remember buying this CD and being surprised it was so Bowie-esque. It made sense in retrospect, when I learnt about their collaboration, of course. I got it because it has two of the best songs of all time on it: Lust for Life and The Passenger. But I didn’t like the rest of it. This time round I found I liked a few ofher songs - some of the more rockier stuff. But I still feel they don’t live up to the main two. If it were just Lust for Life and The Passenger I’d give it five stars. But as it is, it’s more of a three or three and a half.

Like waiting for the green light to watch chickens cross the road

Lægger ud med en total banger. Rytmesektionen på titelnummeret smadrer derudaf så man ikke kan andet end blive ramt i hovedet af en skovlfuld energi. Samme energi fortsætter på de næste par sange inden den vuggende evergreen The Passanger tager en med på en lækker tur. Herefter bliver pladen lidt mere famlende i sit udtryk. Tydelige Bowie aftryk i produktionen. Men jeg bliver også flere gange i tvivl om det er Iggy eller Bowie der synger. Opsummerende: Det var de helt rigtige sange der blev udvalgt som singler

So, I liked passenger and a couple of other songs. But passenger was the only one where I was like, what is the name of this song?! So I think 3

Solid punky rock!

I like 2 songs the rest not so much

not bad but I cant get behind the fucking tambourine playing out of tune

downloaded song number 4

Good album! Just not my taste.

It was just ok

A classic

Didn't really know who Iggy Pop was before even though the name was familiar. Recognize the music from classic rock stations back in the day. Not bad, I can see the beginnings of punk/grunge in there which is pretty cool. Not something I would listen to often though.

Overall I found this album unexciting, can’t really point out anything horrible or amazing but didn’t love the overall energy 5.5/10

Pretty boring for the most part.

Sixteen is a creepy song, but this overall was awesome. Success is a cool way to start the morning. It’s funny how Lust for Life sounds sort of commercial now, when I’m sure it didn’t upon release.

Overall very much a 3.5 the first song reminded me of being stuck in a retail store forever and hearing that on a loop. The rest of the album was honestly really good. 2,3,4,5,8 and 9 were my favorites. Really liked the blues inspired track. Not a bad album but not the best.

Title track is solid. Neighborhood Threat is catchy. After that the quality falls off. For the beginner maybe find a greatest hits list for Iggy

Aint nothin to write home about.

Iggy was on star trek deep space nine. It was cool.

Realizing how Iggy Pop songs have been everywhere, and I never knew it. It's too upbeat for me, but I can appreciate its influence.

the passenger 3.5

Ehhhh, det er ok. En del kleine tekster. Første halvdel er bedre!

Fun

I am a fan of Iggy Pop's most famous hits, but I only liked a couple from this album. My favorite song is on here, which makes it better than most albums, but overall it was pretty okay. I would recommend at least a listen or two. Favorite Song(s): "The Passenger" (duh!), "Sixteen"

Fun.

I really tried to think hard as to if it was just my nostalgia giving preference to 'The Passenger' but genuinely, the rest of the album is nowhere near as good. In isolation that song gets a strong 4.5/5 but the rest is average.

Gewoon lekker album, niks mis mee maar ook niet zo bijzonder Would probably not buy, maar wel nice dus alsnog 3 sterren

Ja ok, war jetzt nicht schlecht. Und Passenger geht immer.

This is a fun album. I like Iggy / The Stooges, up to a point. There are some really fun, vibrant tracks on this album, and there are some stinkers. I would argue that every song is about a minute too long for the punk aesthetic.

Unfortunately it was just fine.Passenger is a banger though

Generally pretty good. Not overwhelmingly so, but better than a lot of his weird stuff.

The first half of this album would be an easy 4 stars, but I don't really like the second half (and absolutely hate "Turn Blue") 3.5 Stars Favourite songs: - Lust For Life - Some Weird Sin - The Passenger

Genuinely don’t remember listening to this but I did

Like it more than I though I would

Was alright. Was distracted listening but it seemed like a good album.

Pretty nice.

Cool

Definitely got the theme of this album. I can see where some people may dig it. As a former addict, it made me uncomfortable. But maybe that’s the point.

Best Song: The Passenger. There's something I've always loved about a gruff voice singing a simple "la la la". It's a pleasant little juxtaposition. Worst Song: Turn Blue. Iggy unfortunately does not have the vocal abilities to perform this son, and it feels like he knows it. He resorts to just barking out phrases sometimes. And the slowly spoken, semi-sexual monologue just comes off as cheesy. Maybe Bowie could have pulled this off, but not Iggy Pop. Overall: Learning that this was a collaboration between Iggy Pop and David Bowie helps explain what I felt was wrong with this album. It felt like the vocal performance was often at odds with the way the songs were written, as though the songs weren't organically built around Iggy Pop's particular strengths. What results is an album that ends up sounding like someone doing a cover of someone else's better work.

This album is a bit of a mixed bag for me. I didn’t know the album but I did know a couple of the songs - the title track and Passenger. I also really like Fall in Love with Me, Neighborhood Threat, and Some Weird Sin. I thought the other songs fell a bit short. But I like the energy and overall sound.

Fun album with pretty good guitar parts! It didn’t have much of an impact on me but it was fun to dance to.

The whole album is good but there are a few songs on here that are my all time favorite.

Helt ok, litt Iggy som ikke vet hvor han vill. Bitvis Iggy, bitvis Bowie, bitvis Stones, bitvis dårlig Lou Reed. Høydepunkt: "Neighbourhood Threat"

Some tunes on here, much prefer the sound of Iggys voice here than his recent stuff

Good Liked tracks: Lust For Life, The Passenger

Pretty good.

Mér hefur oft fundist Iggy vera leiðinlegur eða svona sjaldhlustanlegur en hann er bara nokkuð fínn. Sum lögin aggresív en á þessari plötu þarf mótvægið og það er þarna sem gerir plötuna mjög fína.

The passenger was a nice song just because the pace was a little lower. I feel like you can hear his voice a bit better in this song. Could you imagine if he had up to date equipment, his songs would probably be so goooood. Not saying they aren’t but it’s an average album

It seems pretty good for its time, just not a personal favorite. Common-ish lyrics and a bland album cover. Some decent rock in here, just not life-changing Personal Favorites: Lust for life, The passenger

Starts with one of those songs I never realized was Iggy Pop that I love. Same with the Passenger. Great tunes. Some of the middle songs start to sound similar to each other but still pretty good. Neighborhood Threat sounds like Bowie. Overall a solid record. Nothing crazy special to me but enjoyable. Respectable 3.

Kinda zoned out while listening, so no notes. Favorite track was lust for life.

3/5. I'm a fan of the stooges and Iggy but this one didn't do it for me. I didn't feel like the songwriting was up to par on this one. The instrumentation was simple but effective, and Iggy performed well but I felt like there was an energy missing, or at least this wasn't the genre of music for him, which is base rock and pop. We either need heavier or weirder. I enjoyed some of the songs but it felt like a Bowie album with someone else singing where his voice should be.

first half of album was cool than dropped off

Bowie link.

I can see the appeal but I don’t see it as my thing. Cool tunes though.

More my style, I can see where he has influenced a lot of future rock albums.

Blind album and artist. Know nothing of the guy but his name. Good 1st impression and decent album. Apparently I already liked the passenger on spotify??? It's good for sure but don't remember the song.

lana del rey sounds different here kind of like bowie

Could see this being used in background music of an 80s coming of age film. Nothing particularly special, liked the electric guitar and use of cowbell. Nothing bad nothing exceptional!

Okay for listening in the background. Not something I'd revisit.

Quite good. I could live without it, but I wouldn't mind another listen.

Fun listen, could do without Turn Blue. Probably won’t add to rotation but enjoyable anyway

Certainly, I’ve heard of Iggy Pop. However, I never knowingly or purposely listened to his music. The first song and title track, Lust for Life, was immediately recognizable, and this album dropped when I was 2 years old. That’s saying a lot. Not the biggest rock fan, but this album as a whole is decent. Kinda soulful.

56/100

Some classics nothing spectacular-3/5.

I love Iggy. But this, I have to admit, fell short for mdt

Easy listen, fun, buoyant album. I enjoyed it in the background.

good, but that Sixteen song hasn't aged well. And it makes feel weird listening to the rest

Decent

Enjoyed a few songs, but wasn’t altogether that enthused about it.

Is alright. I like the guitar stuff in these songs. Only got through the first listen though. Usually I need a couple of listens before I can decide which songs I like from the album. It's kind of dated for my current music taste.

The hits that have been featured on soundtracks and commercials for years are wonderful, but the album gets bogged down by the other tracks that I just don't have an affinity for.

I really liked the track Sixteen. Overall, it wasn’t bad.

This was fine. I can tell it's Iggy's full performance, not just his vocals that makes this notable. Though The Passenger is a real stand out gem.

recognized lust for life. liked the passenger a lot. overall pretty good.

Catchy, upbeat music

Not bad, but was expecting more from Iggy. I have heard his name before, but never heard his music. 3

классика но вообще я кроме пассажира ни одну песню, кажется, толком и не слышала. А они сильно от нее отличаются. такой блюзопанк

I think I could probably make one whole album of the solo Iggy Pop songs that I like. This wouldn't be that album, but would include Passenger and I guess Lust For Life (although I'm fairly burnt out on it from mainlining the Trainspotting soundtrack in my youth). Most of the time I find his lyrics pretty cringe (different times, I know, but we're now in different times so...), and while I do like his singing voice, it can get kinda hokey sounding. I still love you Iggy, I just loved you more with the Stooges.

Heilt greit, men artig.

Some classics on here. Not completely my thing but can’t argue with the classics.

Not what I was expecting from iggy but a pleasant surprise

I recognized Lust for Life and Passenger, primarily from Skate 3. Good stuff, not exactly my jam

Kind of a letdown. Lust for Life is a great opening track. Love it. But then the album devolves into a mishmash of punk, R&B, and some straight-up unlistenable tracks. I don't know. Not very punk, and very different than the opening track. All in all, a dud. Without the opening track, it's 2 stars, w/ it's 3.

Good energy, what you would expect from Iggy

The titular song Lust for Life - a great way to start off this album. Such high energy - matching the ecstatic punk icon Iggy Pop. This album is a weird one for me personally. I really love some tracks - the obvious Lust for Life and The Passenger (which would be my top two tracks - and possibly the most popular tracks in the album) but something about this album doesn’t click with me like some other punk albums that came out in the 70s. Namely Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks… that came out the same year. However, with that said, I still think this album has enough substance to keep my interest throughout, and I can definitely appreciate Iggy Pop as a performer throughout. Good album overall.

Off to a great start - filled with others that were equally timeless but a bit of filler too.

Album is ok got some classic songs on there

Didn’t love this but I expected to. Don’t know if his association with Bowie just unfairly raised my expectations or what but this album just didn’t do it for me

I feel like a broken record here, but the more of these albums I hear, the greater the influence I realize Lou Reed has had over the past half century. Listening through Lust for Life, I can’t help but think that Iggy Pop is just a cross between Reed and nineties punk rock in general. The record is driven by the title track and “The Passenger,” whose addictive opening riff is one of the best of the late seventies. Iggy himself may be the passenger in the song, but surely he wants us to realize we’re each the passenger at some point. For as much free will as we may or may not have, there’s always an element of surprise to either fear or to look forward to, but always to anticipate. No? Fuck, I’m not sure. There is promise in some of the other songs, like “Some Weird Sin” and “Neighborhood Threat,” but nothing much else really sticks with me here. There are two classics and a slew of skippable songs, plus the unnecessarily long “Turn Blue.” Some albums get three stars because of how vanilla they are. This album gets three stars because of how all over the place it is.

Solid. I recognized some tracks. Idk if I'd come back to this often. I should learn more about him.

Enjoyable but Iggy Pop isn't entirely my thing.

It gives me kinda rebelious 16 years old teenage vibe. 8/10 bass is everything

Some great stuff here but I wasn't in the mood for the sort of chaos Iggy looked to unleash

Ok album. #2 song is my least favorite, I find it annoying. 3.5 if I could do it

2.5 rounded up. It was OKAY

Fun album. Especially the hits.

Loppua kohde vähä huononi, mutta paree ku oletin!

Songs I like. Lust for Life - reminds me to Just For Laughs comedy club in the 90s, since they used that song before the show started. Then used again in Trainspotting. The Passenger

Strong start. Better than I expected. Success is not good. Weaker second half for sure

Really cool record with some great songs. Favourite tracks: Lust For Life (obviously), Some Weird Sin, The Passenger, Success. Least favourite track: Fall In Love With Me

Decent

see 7/10

A couple mega hit songs that are really amazing. Several other solid songs. And a couple dogs. But overall, an enjoyable way to start the day.

I remember parts of The Idiot but none of this one

Much more melodic and listenable than the Stooges debut. Good improvement, Iggy. The Passenger and title track are legitimately strong pop.

Perfect album to start the day with. The first track Lust For Life literally gives you a lust for life. The Passenger is amazing as well. I also learned some new songs from this album. The last three tracks are happily living their life now in my playlist. If I could give three and a half stars, I would, but I sadly can't.

Hittilevy, a-puolesta pidän kovasti. Aikansa malliin b-puoli menee hieman hajanaisemmaksi ja alun tempo alkaa rakoilla. Sitä ennen paahdetaan hyvin mutta tarpeeks monipuolisesti täysiä eteenpäin, tanssikeinahdellen toki.

On vaatinut hikeä ja kyyneleitä luoda näin monta näin arkkityypillistä taustaa. Mutta jos nyt rehellisesti puhutaan, kaipaisin silti VÄHÄN lisää melodista sisältöä.

lust for life is a good track, the rest can be summed up as "this is fine but not particularly interesting to me". this includes the passenger, not sure why that gets the hype it does

Okay

Straight out of Iggy's "A bit thirsty" period. I mean its still Iggy, but its a bit sus in places.

Eh

Some pretty cool guitar parts. I was expecting basic punk riffs but pretty cool. Don’t think I’d go out of my way again for this album apart from the hits.

Just ok. I don't really get the hype surrounding Iggy Pop's music.

Listened Before? N I struggled with this one. It took me several days to get around to listening to it because I didn't want to. No particular reason other than I just really hate Lust for Life the song. Anyway it turned out okay. Decent punk album from the 70s. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: The Passenger

It just wasn’t really my jam overall.

Finns ett par fina låtar på denna.

devil music katsoppa tarkemmin album coveria. saatanan katse porottaa. huomaa kyllä bowie.. daavidin influenssi tässä kun sain tietää niin herra paratkoon ei varmaan valehdellut asiasta... populärisoidut laulut tästä todella hyviä, loppu albumi ei tarjoa tarjottimelle laita laittaa ehkä salaattia mutta puuttuu pihvit makkarat soosit.... mutta salaattiakin syödään moni kultttuuri ei muuta tee ja tota 300g ehkä mahdoton mutta ei ylikuormitusta aina tarvitakaan... 2x pedofiili hot streak btw passenger

Remember I mentioned here that I first got into David Bowie with the Let's Dance and Tonight records. I didn't know so much about Iggy Pop until much later. Hearing Lust For Life had me boggling as to why half the songs from Tonight were just covers from Iggy Pop. It may be they were close comrades with no clear boundaries for collaboration versus plagiarization. It's also clear Bowie was part of the production of this record and some of it draws from the funky first half of Low. I can't go back and hear this record before I heard Tonight, so it's difficult to sort out the association and to have an unbiased impression.

Neat. But definitely music for a different era, it seems to me.

Iggy's lust for life seemed to wane as the album went on, as did my enthusiasm. Three downward trends out of five 📉📉📉

Bell'album, due tracce della fine ammazzano un poco il mood con la loro interminabile lunghezza di 6 minuti. Fatele piu corte le canzoni dio****. Senza le due canzoni lunghe easy 4 stars, con quelle merde 3.

3.5

Typical old music

Hressilegt stöff. Alltaf gaman að heyra lögin tvö sem David Bowie gaf seinna út, þetta eru svo allt öðruvísi útgáfur.

This is basically how I imagined David Bowie would sound before I listened to any David Bowie. It’s fine.

Pretty ok, but some really questionable lyrics in Turn Blue.

Un album concept dans lequel Iggy va accrocher des fils à tous ses membres et se laisser manipuler par un marionnettiste professionnel. Un régal de désarticulation.

Iggy Pop est ici plus déchaîné que jamais. On peine à deviner sa présence, ses membres étant dissimulés dans divers tuyaux extrêmement fins, mais la performance n'en demeure pas moins de bonne facture. Excellente outro ou Iggy se dissimulera entre deux pages d'un livre posé sur la table du studio.

Solid 3

J’ai l’impression que les chansons sont plus longue qu’elle le sont vraiment. Globalement joyeux mais je trouve que sa manque de punch. WOWOWO Turn blue c’est vrai drôle et intéressant. Neighborhood aussi était cool. Ah on est de retour au style classique, mais pas trop, ça reste mieux que ce qui est passé avant turn blue. En conclusion, turn blue est très cool, mais le reste de l’album me laisse ni chaud ni froid.

Not better than "The Idiot". Still has some really good songs like "The Passenger" (even if I prefer the Siouxsie version more) and the title track, but then there's also stuff like the song "Turn Blue" which is... something. I appreciate the strangeness at least, even if the song sucks ass. The moral of the story: Don't do drugs or you'll randomly wake up in Germany one day. Also stop smiling at me.

It was ok. It’s quite hard to judge without knowing the context in which this album is on the list.

There's something off about the album cover that I love. Besides that, this was a pretty alright album. I liked the random speaking parts in some songs. Fave track(s): Some Weird Sin, Fall In Love With Me

Enjoyable listen. Drumming reminds me of John Bonham, and the singing/writing of Jim Morrison and occasionally of Plant. Parody? Or respect? Either way, it gets a high 3/5 from me; I would listen again.

Standouts: Lust for Life Others: Sixteen, The Passenger, Tonight, Success Rating: 3.5

I hadn't realised just how many Bowieism similarities there are in Iggys music. Certainly a few tracks in there that have stood the test of time. Quite a good album that has aged well. I can't take too much of Iggy in one go though.

Enjoyed this one!

Just OK. I am onto the two tracks. I knew I had again I didn’t hear anything particularly special. A little bit agitating and probably not my genre.

‘Twas alright. Surprisingly poppy and peppy which is nice but overall not totally my vibe. 6/10

Decent album, few songs I wasn’t a huge fan of

Pretty average by todays standards. Definitely some good songs in there but a few snoozers, too.

It was fine.

не такой стрёмный как первый что я слышала, но повторять не будем)

Unique sound, up tempo

Some classic hits but not something that I love.

Sure, he’s a creepy looking bag of skin. Sure, he wrote a song about boning a 13 year old girl (which was taken off of Spotify). Sure, this entire album was primarily Bowie music that Mr. Pop sang over. But hey, it ain’t that bad. Could have been a 4 if I was in a better mood. He’s the kind of weird I’d want to see live.

He's a weirdo, i like it

It's a nice sounding album. Not sure if I agree with the lust tho

Heel dichtbij 4 sterren, maar toch net niet. Lust for Life en Passenger zijn natuurlijk prima nummers (maar nou ook weer niet zó goed), maar de rest is minder interessant. Behalve Turn Blue, dat was wel even een hoogtepuntje en lekkere afwisseling. Maar al met al wat mij betreft dus nèt geen 4 sterren waard.

Largement inférieur au "Lust For Life" de Lana del Rey mais ce n'est que mon avis....
