Lust For Life

There are definite grooves and high points outside the frustratingly repetitive title track, but not nearly enough to elevate this album to anything memorable when it comes to rock.

Grand

Es un disho razonable Indicio post.punk

It's alright. Some songs were groovin' but others weren't terribly interesting.

Never really listened to Iggy Pop before and I found this to be okay. It wasn't anything special and I wouldn't go out of my way for it. It's somewhere around a 2.5 for me so I'm going to drop it to a 2 in an attempt to correct my supposedly flawed rating system.

I was never an Iggy Pop fan, I had heard his songs every once in a while and on a Kesha song and I was never impressed. Finally getting to listen to an album I can now say he should be called Iggy Dud. The confidence of this fella to post his mug on the album cover is hilarious and while I'm not saying I hate his music, it just didn't impress me at all. Just your basic late 70's rock. I would rather listen to Lana Del Rey talk about her Lust for Life than Iggy.

I like a couple of the more famous tracks, probably due to familiarity. If it wasn't for listening to pretty clear recordings of 50s/60s jazz that I've listened to due to this project, then I would have blamed the weird sound levels on the age, but this seems to have been mixed wrong or something. Everything blends in and is a bit dull. Tried a few different sources to check and it seems to have been how they meant it to be!

2.5

Probably not something I'd listen to again. No songs really stand out.

Lust for Life has a really good beat, I enjoyed this one. Sixteen is painful in some way to me...the beat is just constant in the same way...and the yelling/singing of the late 70s is not my jam. Some Weird Sin...lyrics repeated way too much. The music has an anxious quality to it, sort of frenetic. The Passenger, I like the tone and beat of his voice in this song. Again, the actual music just seems the same, repeated far too much in a very basic rhythm that grates. Tonight....the guitar has a screeching quality to it. I really like the uniqueness of Iggy's and how he plays around with it. The choice of his music in this album though....I am not enjoying. The opening beats of Success I like, the beats on top of beats is so interesting. The layering in this one I like. Turn Blue, I do not like, had to skip. Punk rock...I don't think it's my jam....Ended Neighborhood Threat with 30 seconds to go. Fall In Love With Me has that duh duh duh duh duh beat, the same beat over and over with a random screaming guitar. Didn't finish Fall In Love With Me, only made it halfway in. Maybe I just don't like Iggy's punk rock? It's just painful and makes me angry/angsty feeling.

Ein zwei Tracks Viben ganz gut der Rest wack

Enjoyable - I had not gotten into Iggy previously. Respect the contribution but I've already forgotten how it really sounded.

I’m sure this is somebody’s thing.

Top heavy album.

Iggy Pop is fucking overrated. This isn't awful but it doesn't deserve the praise it gets.

LUST FOR LIFE IS OK, BUT IGGY POP IS A PEDOPHILE - DIA

Not for me, talks about liking underage girls too much.

I found this quite terrible, the listening experience can only be described as jarring and the album cover is like a kick in the teeth. I was told to always follow my gut and my gut it telling me to take a shit on this number; im really struggling to become partisan to iggy pop and his antics and the lack musical substance makes his performance shenanigans offensive and tackless.

yy no sé más o menos

ew

Fine album, not gonna listen tho. Besides The Passenger.

Boring yet still manages to be controversial

Nope

I found the album pretty boring to listen to, plus the guy is a creep. 1 star for the two songs on here that were alright.

meh

lol nah again gotta wonder what the criteria is to make this list.

Iggy Pop is an excellent example of the fact that you don’t necessarily have to be a good composer, a good singer or a good musician to be a rock icon. For there is no doubt that Pop is an icon, embodying (proto-)punk and a brash yet uncompromising rock ’n’ roll attitude. “Lust for Life” was recorded in the same place and at the same time as Bowie’s famous Berlin Trilogy, with significant input from his drugs-and-rehab buddy Bowie, yet musically it bears no resemblance to it. Whilst Bowie explores krautrock, ambient and experimental art rock, Pop presents stomping punk and sing-along rock on “Lust for Life”, somewhere between the clichés of The Clash and The Rolling Stones. With its rumbling energy, the album is exhausting and irritating, but above all, it’s deadly boring.

I down't like him. ew. A littles ruste.

It just was not for me

Saw there was a song called Sixteen and did not necessarily like this, but let's see how old Iggy... Oh fuck noooo you're 30 bro. Don't. Just don't. As for the rest of the album, it's not really my thing. It sounds subdued, and production is pretty messy. Maybe this was intentional but I don't love it. Reading that Bowie had a big hand in it makes sense, I don't love his stuff either. Okay I'm at Fall in Love with Me, and was thinking about giving this album 2 stars, but him singing "You're so young and pure/and you're young at heart" just ruined it. Ew.

1 de 5 Con un sonido enérgico que combina la crudeza del punk con melodías pop pegadizas y brillantes, crean una vitalidad cruda que se refuerza con baterías potentes y la inconfundible voz de Iggy. A destacar: Track 1 - Lust For Life Track 4 - The Passenger Track 7 - Turn Blue

pedo.

It's weird that Bowie cooperated with such untalented artist as Iggy Pop

Bastante meh en general, una o dos canciones buenas y el resto sin más. El género me mola pero hay cosas mucho mejores.

I thought this album was pretty all the songs, minus like 2, all sound terrible and are so boring, and then you have the awful song know as Sixteen. Bad album

explosion at the sweet 16, what did he mean by this? is this guy another british nonce?

Not for me

No me pareció un gran álbum, la verdad me aburrió un poco. Aunque tiene una vibra tranquila y bastante estética, no sentí que lograra atraparme demasiado ni que las canciones me dejaran una impresión muy fuerte. Se deja escuchar, pero en mi caso no terminó de engancharme, así que no creo que sea de esos discos a los que volvería seguido.

Echt zo niet mijn ding. Echt begging for this to be over. Ik weet niet waarom maar net als de white stripes voelde het zo saai en eentonig en theatraal op een slechte manier? Not for me, sorry miss Iggy.

Is rampant, and sinful.

The title track is the most palatable track on this album and much like Iggy himself its annoying trash. Albums like this are why I lose faith in humanity on a daily basis... who thinks this is so good you NEED to hear this before taking your final breath?

I try to avoid looking up historical context for these albums to keep the review to just my experience listening. I say that because this feels like an influential album that inspired a lot of others (I hear Jet's "Are you gonna be my girl" in "Lust for Life", I hear Franz Ferdinand in "Fall in Love with Me") but I just didn't resonate with this at all. Lots of sung-spoken lyrics over familiar changes. Sorry Iggy!

Tiresome posturing. Style over substance. Iggy pop, lou reed and floyd are basically brands but there is no more than a handful of memorable songs between them. This collection is devoid of charm and songs

1,5/5

Mh

I'm going to be so honest I skimmed through this album but from what I heard the mixing of tracks was terrible and often made Iggy's voice very sharp, not as in pitch but like actively attacking my ears which isn't cool man

dont like rock

Everything felt icky after "Sixteen"

1. luzt - 1.5 2. zizteen -1 3. uueird - 1.5 4. pazzenger - 1.5 5. tonight - 0 6. zucezz - 0 7. blue - 0 8. threat - 1.5 9. love - 1.5

this album was one of my favorite when I was a teen. it was one of the first classic rock albums I really resonated with. I was excited to come back to it after all these years and even more excited when it began and sounded just a good and full of life as I had remembered. then, the song "sixteen" came on and my heart ached for my teenage self. Iggy pop was 30 when this album was released. let that sink in.

not my cup of tea; wouldnt listen again.

not bad just not really my cup of tea.

2/10

This is not my type of music at all. But it was not bad, i'm sure a lot of people love it.

First up fuck Iggy Pop, fuck the song Sixteen and fuck him. Sable Starr was 13 years old. I understand, "it is another time", but I don’t give a fuck how sexy her leather boots are, fuck no and fuck you. And just in case you didn't grasp the point this creep is making in Sixteen, “Fall in love with me” hammers it home. Now, the music. Passengers is an all-time great melody. The writing, (riming sky with sky for example) is not all time great. I will add that if in your album, the parts I’m searching for and looking forward to the most are the Bowie parts, then that says a lot about you. There is no hidden gem on there. Sure it is not horrible musically, but does it deserve posterity as an album : no. Fuck this.

I so heavily dislike the vocals that it knocks the album down farther than it should the instrumentals are ok

I don't like listening to pedophile music. Sixteen.

Not my thing really.

Osef tier

Sixteen basically made it unlistenable, and it’s kinda weird albums like these are still being put on iconic album lists knowing the predatory behavior that went on in the 70s. That being sad, musically? Everything in the 70s basically sounds like Bowie, eh.

Never been much of a punk rock guy

I don't quite get it. I think I hear Black Keys. Favorite Track: The Passenger

eh

Not so good

This album is just “meh”. Lust for Life is alright as is The Passenger. Turn Blue is not bad. I would have been ok never hearing it. 1001 album worthy: No - 77/141

I made better music in my 8th grade garage band.

Not very good or enjoyable. List for life and the passenger are the only things I didn’t terribly mind. Iggy pop? More like icky slop.

"Success" was the first song so far from an album on this list that almost made me stop listening to the album completely. Then, I was treated to that urge again and again, multiple times over while listening to Iggy's Lust for Life. And again during "Turn Blue," which was all the more disappointing because it started out seeming like it might be an ok ballad, only to turn into complete and utter garbage with Iggy Pop mumbling deranged ASMR in my ear. I wish I were exaggerating. The only even slightly redeemable song is "Neighborhood Threat", and I still would complain if it came on the radio. There might have been another mediocre (at least, not awful) song on the album, but I honestly can't recall because I'm still recovering from having to listen to "Success" and "Turn Blue" back-to-back. This is the only album so far that I haven't listened to at least twice through because it was completely irredeemable. I want to believe this is an example of the book/list editor's bias, coming from the UK. Sorry, but please include literally any other album for punk influence. Iggy without ridiculous stage antics is just annoying and boring. The editors should have just included a 10th David Bowie album instead of this album he produced if they wanted to further overinflate the European contributions to the album list.

Sorry...not my type of music.

More like uhhh iggy flop 👎*buzzer noise*

Ok not my style, like Lust for Stlye the best

No.

again found it a bit boring for my millennial cusp-ass brain

Actually not as bad as I thought it would be. Still not my thing though

Uu

No sé, me aburrió.

I don't care for David Bowie, but I cannot tolerate this Walmart version of David Bowie.

My relationship with this one is complicated. On one hand, it has been a major influence to so much music that I grew up with and love, and I have travelled with Iggy for most of my life, with the stooges or solo. There is Bowie, in all his Berlin glorious sound, jiving with Iggy and the two of creating something fresh, decadent, martial yet organic, sexy. Often demented, yet also often sensitive. And then there is sweet sixteen and its ode to sex with underage girls, and I struggle. There is Turn Blue. These were not good people, and yet they made great music. This poses one of the days' great questions, around how we value art made by people who hurt others in the process, and where this hurt becomes a theme in the music. If I think of art as a way to build community and find an expression of our common humanity, then this is highly tainted. Of course, then, there is the grotesque. The exaggeration of everything, of every excess, every evil, to give voice to the not glorious parts, the ugliness of this common humanity. There has to be a place for it. The selfishness, the uncaring, the alienation and the loneliness. One star, for the same reason as I gave one star to Doggystyle. I can't stand behind art that dehumanizes others.

The music is decent. Pretty standard 1970s pop-rock. Songwriting is strong and Bowie’s influence is felt. This is a strong 3 star album. However, self-admitted pedophiles get 1 star.

a 1 song album gets 1 star

vorta rights right but iiii hated every minute of this down to the scary ass album cover. thank god siouxsie came and swooped up the passenger.

This album was a disappointment. I really thought every song was uninteresting, and especially disliked the song sixteen. 1/5.

Erstaunlich poppig. Aber nicht meins. Auch zu viel Show.

Nope, just couldn't relate....

Quintessential noisy rollicking 70s rock ‘n’ roll

Favorites: Lust for Life Innovative but not my favorite

too oldie...

eh

idk man

Just didnt care.

I'm not impressed.

Not good.

I do not like Iggy Pop and his blatant pedophelia, 16 is an atrocity and although the artistry on some songs is aight I am always less keen to give Iggy the benefit of the doubt compared to other artists. 3/10

No

Sorry iggy

I was on the shitter for some of this album, and when Turn Blue came on I pushed as hard as I could just so I could run back to the pause button. The rest of the album wasn't that much better. What a fucking disaster. 1/5.

couldnt be bothered

Generic instrumentals, boring/weird lyrics

Hab ich keine Lust drauf.

He is a pedophile. Shouldn't be Here.

Oh just shut up

Didn’t like this one….

Apart from The Passenger, I am not sure why Iggy went into the recording studio

Meh. Not in to it. Sorry Iggy. I like your name tho…
