Lust For Life

Iggy’s the man and I loved hearing Bowie’s backing vocals and production touches here. I think I still prefer the Stooges stuff I’ve heard over this, but this album does stand as a muscular, tuneful statement on its own. The title track is particularly good.

nao gosto mt nao

7.2/10

Lust for Life is Iggy Pops second solo album after his work with the Stooges and after releasing his heavily Bowie influenced and produced and written album The Idiot. This one is The Stooges but it is also David Bowie. It is a lot more Iggy and a lot less David Bowie than the album before which was important for Iggy and went the right way because the record took the best things from both sides which results in a great sound. I like the art hard rock punk mixture and the energetic vibes this album gives with every song supported by great vocals. Apparently the lyrics where only partially written down and mainly improvised while recording which is admittedly pretty impressive. As a result the lyrics are maybe not the strongest but kind of personal since the artist just let them out in some way. Especially the songs dealing with drug addiction which are quite a few feel like very personal Iggy songs. Looking at the guys not only Iggy but also Bowie and the rest around that time it makes sense they would know a thing or two about drug addiction. Lust for Life has more catchy songs than just the titletrack and The Passenger I will definetly come back to this one. 3,7/5

favs: the passenger tonight success neighborhood threat fall in love with me rating 2.7/5

Was alright

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

Aye, good

Not bad, but if I wanted to listen to this genre, I would have just turned on Bowie.

Infectious energy, proper lo-fi garage-y, punky, poppy, dirty little album. If you can get on board with what an amped-up little bag of monkey-skin is doing then you are in for a ride.

Lust for life. Lust for Swift Cover.

This is just a great sounding album and honestly is an album I went out and bought after hearing it. Title track, Passenger, and Tonight are Classic 4/5

I haven’t been overly impressed with the two Stooges albums I’ve generated so far but this from Iggy as a solo artist was bloody brilliant. It starts with a banger in Lust For Life. I’ve loved this track ever since I first watched Trainspotting, all time great movie and soundtrack. The Passenger is probably his biggest hit and it is definitely a great track but I don’t like it quite as much as LFL. Top Track - Lust For Life

Really good! I love how melodic and catchy each song and riff is while still holding to that hard-edged "punk" factor. Fav Tracks: "Some Weird Sin", "Passenger" and "Neighborhood Threat".

Fantastic album, I didn't know all of these songs.

Good solid album, all the classics

Properly gorgeous. Glammier than I remembered, full of personality.

I like the Stooges better than Iggy solo. But this is a good album.

Es klang gut, nicht hat mich gestört, aber auch nichts begeistert. Das Paradebeispiel eines soliden 3-Sterne-Albums. 3/5

As is well known, David Bowie moved to Berlin in the mid-1970s to battle his addictions — not alone, but in the company of Iggy Pop. During his time there, David managed to release an album "trilogy," while Iggy, effectively, produced a "duology." And while his first solo effort was essentially another Bowie album (with David handling everything from production to co-writing every track), Iggy took the initiative on this record; the sound is punchier and less cerebral, though the influence of his old friend is still discernible in certain songs. The rhythm section provided by the Sales brothers deserves special mention: the first things to greet you when you start the album are powerful drums and a danceable bassline. Admittedly, the second half of the album is weaker; there is a sense that the recording process was rushed (it came out just six months after the previous record). Be that as it may, it features two massive hits, and the other tracks are enjoyable — it makes for a thoroughly pleasant listen!

Fun stuff RYM: N Saved a song: N

It's a David Bowie album in a trenchcoat but it's one of the great ones. Iggy Pop is perfect here.

Good album. One famous track, but the rest is OK

Pretty much just a pretty great 70's rock record, more bowie-esque than I remembered and would have liked a little more rawness 8/10

This is another great late 70’s album; I’m singing along with the title track here. I love jagged but melodic stuff like this, and Iggy Pop’s voice. I can hear David Bowie’s influence on a lot of these tracks, and of course the late 70s is my favorite period of Bowie’s work. Favorite: “The Passenger,” which actually is something I first knew as a cover done by Siouxsie and the Banshees. But eventually I realized that I like this original version even more.

Du Iggy pop = rock

Mieux que les stooges

Sympa mais je me suis pas éclaté non plus

Trainspotting is all I can think of. That iconic scene of Ee-wan just legging it through the streets of Edinburgh.

Such a fun stupid album. It and The Idiot are inseperable to me.

Review - always found his solo work patchy. Never a big fan of the title track. The Passenger is one of the best songs ever though. Also Some Weird Sin is brilliant, hadn't heard that before. But tails off later in the album. Score - 6/10 Need to listen? YES

Good record love the title song

Felt more like a classic rock album, I dig it

I thought the majority of the album was better than anticipated. A couple of songs never should have been recorded though.

It was decent

Honestly better than I thought it would be. I still don't understand why Iggy is so revered but whatever. Sounds fine, nothing super crazy/tremendous. The last song is kinda creepy though tbh.

Yet another album that I just don’t get the appeal of

heel 70s

Pretty good listen & didn’t realize “Tonight” was his not Bowie’s. Great example of why this exercise is cool!

Just didn’t really do it for me. Pretty boring and felt like an album I could sleep through

Why am I listening to a guy fantasize about teenage girls? In multiple songs? And it’s just a bunch of caterwauling. Only reason it’s 2 instead of a 1 is because sometimes the music sounded pretty good.

This is a much better Bowie album than anything he produced around that time. Lust for Life and The Passenger are the obvious classics and the rest is pretty solid too. I give it an extra mark because 15 year old me was on stage with Iggy Pop during the Passenger at the the 2001 Gig on the Green, Glasgow. Good times.

Raw Garage Rock + Glam Rock Mannerisms + Manic Vocals + Good as Hell Drums = Yay!!!!!

I've been shrugging off the recent nepotism in the arts as par for the course, but then saw Will Ferrells son is a musician and performing at The Garden... Good for him and anyone else who plays music etc. It's hard to believe billionaires kids have lived a life anything like ours. My point is that Iggy has lived which makes him engaging. This feels like the most complete Iggy project we've had. Also, I'm feeling guilty about saying Stevie Wonder is over-rated. Not ready to walk that back but considering walking it back.

Hard to evaluate this album. Iggy’s whole appeal is authenticity. It’s kind of all he has - it’s like a posture on its own right. Instead of all style no substance, he’s all authenticity, no substance. And yet, all the best songs here (except the passenger) were clearly written by David Bowie. And it’s not like it’s some magic combo of the artistry of Bowie and rawness of Iggy that creates something new and greater than the sum of its parts: they just sound like Bowie songs with slightly edgier lyrics. So while the album sounds good, it sounds sort of divided against itself. I can’t place it. It becomes less than its parts. It sounds like one guy doing another guy a favor. These guys were definitely boning right?

You gotta respect the effort to throw it back. And its no flop either. Lust For Life and Passenger are worth the stars alone. A few decent deeper cuts (Fall In Love With Me). Very Bowie

I am honestly kind of floored that this is what Iggy Pop sounds like. Based on his whole shirtless schtick I thought he was more Alice Cooper, but this sounds almost The Doors. Loved so much of this., especially Tonight. His voice, the guitar work, the lyrics, everything is so much better than I expected coming into this.

In the past when I've tried to get my teeth into this album, there's always been something in the way of it fully resonating for me. This time round, I'm all in. The singles, Lust for Life, Passenger, Neighbourhood Threat, they're all hitting the spot. Love the sleaziness. But there in the background, I can detect the influence of a completely unpunk twerp. The living spirit of Bowie, in my opinion, over-polishing this album and unmingingises Iggy's steez. It could have been the perfect run. Thanks a lot, David. Thanks a LOT

cant believe i let his reputation as old shirtless man with weird torso lead me to think this would be shit ha, really solid.. short but sweet

very fun rocking vibes, felt like living in a movie listening to this walking in the subway

A powerhouse album more than decade into his career and (along with his prior album) out of left field from his previous output. Really cool to see his creative output during this period, not clinging to that raw, hard sound of the stooges. A few strange song choices but he’s trying different things here and for the most part it’s killer

10 STARS!

Fine. Cool to see where some of the classics come from.

Some of the tracks here were/are iconic mainstays of student discos/club nights. The Bowie influence is very apparent throughout. However, the album as a whole does suffer from being overshadowed by the two enormous tracks (LFL and The Passenger). I don't have this on my shelves, and I'm not sure I need to. Heard before ✅️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ✅️ ★★★☆☆(6/10) Total reviewed : 439 Already owned : 99 Purchased : 21 To buy : 5

Some questionable lyrical content by today’s standards, but still a great album

7/10

It's got a good sense of rhythm to it. But it's safe to say I like this album less, the longer it goes on. You can definitely hear the input from the other musicians on this album. Especially Bowie, he in terms of the sound of the album, is very present. I think it's fair to say that this is an iconic album. But saying that I just don't feel that the album itself is that strong, I think the singles do a lot of the heavy lifting here. Fav Track: Sixteen

Before listening: already know a couple of songs off this album. Not my faves but definitely catchy. Interested to see where it goes During: sweet sixteen is great if I don’t listen to the lyrics. Passenger is overplayed but it slaps so it’s ok. Why so many lyrics about how young they are?? After: overall good album. Fun to listen to, and a bit unusual. Put off by the lyrics a little lol. Fave song - turning blue

Great rhythm section. Very raw singing but it suits the energy.

Enjoyable but nothing really stood out. Would listen to specific tracks again but nothing amazed me. Tis an album

Huge contrast from The Stooges S/T. This is my jam and my highest ranked album yet. Get chills on Some Weird Sin. Very good. Best tracks: Lust For Life, Some Weird Sin, The Passenger Rating: 9/10

Great

Favorite Song: Neighborhood Threat Least Favorite: Sixteen

This is a great album full of energy. Listening to it felt alive and driven from start to finish. It really lives up to the title. There is a clear lust for life running through the whole record, a restless and eager feeling that never settles down. Iggy sounds sharp and present, with a lot of attitude and momentum in his delivery. The songs move with a strong, straightforward rock energy that feels both tough and joyful at the same time. Nothing about it feels tired or held back. It just pushes forward. The production by David Bowie and Iggy Pop is clean and effective. The rhythm section is tight and powerful, and the overall sound has a bright, punchy quality that suits the material perfectly. Everything is well balanced without losing the raw edge. Lust for Life remains one of Iggy Pop’s strongest and most exciting records. Full of energy and a real sense of being alive.

Håller med Jonas; man blir glad! Det är egentligen inget märkvärdigt, bara rocknroll. "Lust for life" och "Neighborhood threat" höjer sig över resten. Och för att vara 70talsrock är ljudbilden någorlunda aptitlig

Bowie och Iggy i Berlin måste vara vara en av de mest kreativa perioderna i mänsklighetens historia. Om Low, som kom samma år, var baksmällan och dimman i Kreuzberg, så är Lust for life festkvällarna i Schöneberg. Och vilken jävla fest det är. Det känns som att Bowie fick utlopp för lite lekstuga här mellan tagningarna på sina egna Berlinskivor. Titellåten och The passenger tål att spelas många gånger. Men starkast här är ändå Neighbourhood Threat och Tonight. Båda har Bowie själv försökt sig på senare, tyvärr med riktigt dåligt resultat.

Bowies inverkan är tydlig, men knappast tidstypisk för vad han själv sysslade med. A-sidan må ha hitsen men det låter mycket överblivet material som inte platsade på Aladdin Sane. Tonight som avslutar sidan utgör ett undantag, och det är väl framförallt därifrån albumet lyfter. Turn blue är en finfin soulig ballad. Avslutande Fall in Love with me, är en riktigt fin rockdänga helt i anda med Berlintriologins popiga sida.

Flera riktigt bra låtar, lust for life, some weird sin och inte minst tonight. The passenger tycker jag däremot är rätt trist. Överlag blir jag rätt glad av lyssna på detta. Så det blir ett glädjebetyg.

This was ok. Lust for Life and the Passenger are classics. A few other catchy songs. 2.5

Awesome album with Bowie collaborating on sound. "The Passenger" is my favorite Iggy Pop song from this one. It was neat hearing the contrast from this and "The Idiot" that he also put out that year.

I knew Iggy Pop as a skinny punk old punk rocker that never had a shirt on. Not really familiar with his music but I did recognize a couple of songs "Lust for Life" and "The Passenger". This album sounded much different than I expected and after learning of David Bowie's involvement I can see why. We'll see how it compares to Iggy's other albums in terms of style but this was a worthwhile listen.

I liked my t shirt as much as the album

i'm trying not to let my preference for fun house effect this score

Great album really enjoyed it.

Liked this album a lot more than "The Idiot". This one has better songs on it. Really enjoyed this one. So: 4/5

Eh, ok

Unfortunately, only The Passenger does it for me here

Игги очень чоткий поц

I'm familiar with Iggy Pop through Joshua Homme (one of my favorite musicians). I've heard the Post Pop Depression stuff and the generator gave me The Stooges (which I enjoyed) not too long ago. This is one of Iggy's prominent albums, which also happens to be a collaboration with David Bowie. The music incorporates Iggy's edgy punk style with some of Bowie's flair. I'm assuming the music style was unique for its time and kind of weird, but I'm into that a lot of times. There are plenty of known singles on here: "Lust For Life", "The Passenger", and "Success". My personal favorite tracks were "Sixteen" and "The Passenger".

Some fun songs including the classic "Passengers" but they do open the album up with a second song about lust for underage girls so that's weird but I guess it was the 70s. I don't think he has a good voice either

Started strong and fun. Recognized a couple songs. Didn't love the song about lusting over a 16 year old girl. Second half lost a lot of the initial energy.

I really don’t want to write another review about a problematic man, but too many songs here were about young girls. Bring on a female artist!

A lot of these songs were in commercials growing up.

Año 1977 y tiene estos cuatro bombazos atemporales: Lust for life, Some weird sin, The passenger y Tonight. Para terminar Fall in love with me. Vamos que le voy a dar 4 estrellas.

Classic, great songs, fun production. In some ways an improvement on the Pop formula, but overall I prefer younger, hairier Iggy.

genuinely why are there so many artists that write about being into teenagers im so sick of it

Even better than I remembered. Very alive and thumping and Krautrock.

alright

Now I want to drive on Route 66 in a red convertible with the top down. Then I want to stop at a dive in the middle of nowhere and play darts. Of the songs I didn't know "Tonight" was a personal fav

Mais uma bolacha de mais um artista renomado e um dos icons do rock/punk, porém não me pega muito.. é ‘escutavel’ mas é igual ferrão de abelha, só se ‘usa’ uma vez lol

Not a bad album with 2 huge hits

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I tend to like his solo stuff better than the Stooges.

Iggy Pop. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. It’s one of those names that I just hear about on and off and don’t really know anything about. I don’t know who he is really, I just know he’s a legendary singer, and I can’t name any of his songs off of the top of my head. This is the first of 5 albums featuring Iggy Pop on the list, and his highest rated album as well on the site. He has 2 solo albums, and 3 albums with The Stooges. After listening to this album for the first time, I can see why it’s the highest rated. It’s got David Bowie’s handiwork plastered all over it. It’s also got Iggy’s entire discography of hits. “Lust For Life”, “Tonight”, and my favorite song on the album, “The Passenger”. I’m not entirely sure if you can call this album Iggy’s usual performance, but that doesn’t exactly matter when I’m just rating individual albums rather than how someone sounds as a whole. And as an album, this one is really, really good. 9 songs and 40 minutes long is such a perfect length for an album, as even the songs that overstay their welcome, like the titular “Lust For Life” don’t bog down the album by lasting for 10+ minutes. The only songs I like that last that long are Prog songs who’s entire gimmick is being long and great. Back to “Lust For Life”, it’s a great song, my third favorite on the album, but after a few minutes of hearing it sung over and over and over again, it just goes on a little longer than I would like it to. This album is a 4 because all of these songs are very good. Good performances by both Iggy and Bowie, Bowie who sings and plays piano on some of these songs as well, which is just really a great duo. Off topic, but it also reminds me of the show The Venture Bros, in which both of them are characters, depicted as themselves. So now I have a greater understanding of why they both show up. Bowie simply shows up on an album and makes it better with his mere presence. A true mark of his excellence is that I’ve mentioned Bowie’s name more than the actual artist I’m covering, but with the artist’s merits alone, I’m still going to give it a 4, because it deserves it. My favorite song on the album is easily “The Passenger”. It reminds me of a song The Doors would write, and it’s different from the rest of the album in that it just easily stands out and sounds like it belongs somewhere else. That’s actually a compliment, as I love when albums have songs that sound different than the one before. The vocals are just really cool, as is the guitar playing, backing vocals, and it’s just really catchy. It’s a song that resonates aura. And yes, it’s also got Bowie on it. And that’s what I’m going to end this review discussing. Again, I’m curious what his other songs sound like. I don’t know if I’ll have heard of any of them. I was surprised I’d heard of anything on this album previously in general. Everything here is great, but maybe it’s just a one off. He’s got 4 more, lower rated albums I’ve got to get through, so we’ll see if this one is a fluke, or if he really does deserve to have so many on here. But yeah, for what this album is, I very much enjoyed it from top to bottom, with no skips.

influence of seemingly every pop record that followed.

lust for life: 6.4/10 first part of the song before he started singing made me feel like I was in a kid show's intro. I really like his voice tho. decent start sixteen: 6.75/10 really love the vibes of this song, his voice too some weird sin: 5.9/10 its a likable song, just not exactly my vibe. the guitar part was really nice tho the passenger: 6.8/10 I really like it, would see it making it into my playlist if I listen to it enough times tonight: 6.75/10 dont judge a song by the intro tbh, thought it was gonna disappoint me but turns out its actually not that bad success: 4/10 thought it was okay but tbh it got progressively worse, I think im gonna step this one out. gave me such npc commercial music vibes. wtf is "hooray success!" ????? turn blue: 3/10 idk how to feel about this tbh. feels so random.. and not in a good way. like it was sang on an open mic night. 7 mins of torture neighborhood threat: 6/10 pretty nice, potential to make it into my playlist in the future fall in love with me: 5/10 I feel like it was going in a straight line for most of the song, also did not need to be 6 and a half minutes long. found myself waiting for the song to be over, wouldve been better as a song that's 3 mins at most final rating (personal, not mathematical): 4.75/10 honestly the songs are either bad or decent, like its kinda of an npc album. its not good but its not bad either, kinda like a random cd u find in a thrift store

There's some hit or miss (as in every Iggy album), but the hits make up for everything imo. Simple yet effective, very passionate Glam Garage Rock project featuring songs that would come to influence some of my favorite bands (Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, White Stripes eg.) Highlights: title track, Some Weird Sin, Passanger, Tonight

⭐⭐⭐⭐- Två moster till spår på det här albumet varav en kickar igång det, Lust for life sen finns även The passanger som nog är ännu bättre. Resten av spåren är inte nära att vara lika bra men de är inte dåliga. Flera av spåren lyfter med nägra lyssningar. Produktionen är tajt och har klarat tidens tand väl och Iggys eneri får mig att lyfta albumet till en svag 4a. Bäst är Lust for life, Some weird sin, the Passanger, Tonight, Success

Meh? 2.5 rounded up to 3. Favorite track: The Passenger

This started strong and then fell off as it contined. 2,5 stars I will round up

A bop! Standout Tracks: Lust for Life, The Passenger Rating: 3

Strong album, I like Iggy Pop who knew

Boring ass music twin how does every song sound the same

Kind of bummed about this one. Iggy Pop is a punk icon but this album is so mid. Would’ve rated this album a 2/5 if it wasn’t for Lust for Life and The Passenger being absolute banger songs.

This is rightfully a classic to some with some of Iggy's best solo work, like Lust For Life, Passenger, and Some Weird Sin. It also, unfortunately, includes a song where Iggy straight up lusts over a 16 year old. which ruins the album. 4/10, but it would have been probably an 8 without Sixteen.

#435 I don’t know this album bar the couple of very famous songs, but I like Iggy Pop and very much looked forward to hearing. David Bowie’s influence can be very much heard here which is no bad thing either. Heard before? ❌ Would I revisit? ✅ Listen before you die? ✅ Fave track(s): Lust for Life; The Passenger; Fall in Love With Me Rating: 8/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think this review on Genius lyrics for the song Sixteen sums it up for me: "In this song, Iggy Pop talks about his pedophilia."

Decent music… Iggy is a cross between Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, and David Bowie vocally… very much high energy punk..

One of his best

I liked most of the album, but not enough for a 5

Le voy agarrando la mano al iggy que buen album, las huellas de bowie hacen mucho 8/10

Face was scaru

mild indifference for life

i did not lust for life while listening but it was fine i guess

The album was also recorded at Berlin’s Hansa Studio. David Bowie is involved once again, though Iggy Pop clearly took the lead on this record. It sounds more like the Stooges than the experimental art-rock associated with David Bowie. The cover features a nice guy smiling at us—which is exactly what he is. The album opens with the title track; it actually sounds somewhat dark, despite being far more life-affirming in spirit. For the most part, the music has a rock feel—bordering on hard rock—but it’s also playful, with a touch of reggae in "Tonight." In "Sixteen," a thirty-year-old man sings about age-old male fantasies: "Sweet sixteen in leather boots / Body and soul I go crazy." The third track, "Some Weird Sin," features a lovely guitar solo set against a post-punk drum foundation; it’s a bit dark, largely due to the lyrics. At the time, Iggy was having trouble with the authorities in West Berlin and couldn't secure a proper residence permit. The next song, "The Passenger," is my absolute favorite. It has a driving rhythm and sounds like a blend of The Doors and Lou Reed; in fact, the lyrics are based on a poem by Jim Morrison. "Tonight" became a massive hit in 1984 as a duet between David Bowie and Tina Turner, but it sounds even more wonderful here. With Iggy’s resonant baritone, the spoken-word intro about a young woman’s fatal overdose, and Ricky Gardiner’s magnificent guitar solo, the original version simply feels more cohesive to me than the later cover. Side B kicks off with "Success," which sounds like a well-timed chaotic jumble—capturing a genuine live atmosphere with the entire studio crew gathered around a single microphone. "Turn Blue" begins as a slow, dragging blues number and serves as a desperate attempt to process Iggy’s heroin addiction. The almost feverish vocal delivery simulates an internal monologue and the emotional nadir of addiction. Mick Jagger could easily have sung this track; it sounds very much like the Rolling Stones. "Neighborhood Threat"—a magnificent song! It offers a socially critical portrait of urban decay, capturing the perspectives of societal outcasts, broken families, and big-city poverty. "Fall in Love with Me," featuring Iggy’s processed vocals, is the final track on this superb and groundbreaking record. It has a hypnotic sound. With its repetitive rhythm, driving riffs, and Iggy’s passionate, almost pleading spoken-word delivery, it creates an atmospheric, dark contrast to the album’s more optimistic hits, such as "Lust for Life" and "The Passenger." All in all, it is an album without a single weak point, yet it manages to sound remarkably varied. And on top of that, it is the album that saved Iggy Pop’s life. It was so important that David Bowie brought his friend to Berlin!

6/10 Buen album, pero me falto algo para que me guste mas. Es chill, sin dormirte y se disfruta

The moment I heard a similar sound to Bowie, I immediately considered this album as peak.

Once you get past the two most popular songs from this album, Bowie's involvement in this is SO obvious. A little theatrical at times, but with an unmistakable core of punk, this album was overall a fun listen. I think the two songs I already knew are still my favorites, but I'm glad to have finally listened to this one all the way through. This album is unapologetically itself, and its sound totally reflects Iggy's unmatched stage performances. 3.5/5 rounded down Favorite tracks: Lust For Life, The Passenger, Fall In Love With Me

passenger

great stuff here

Very good

Eu sou fã do Bowie, então era questão de tempo até começar a ouvir Iggy Pop também, e nada melhor pra começar do que um album co-produzido pelo próprio Bowie, e que album, senhoras e senhores. Não tenho muito pra falar, ele só é muito bom mesmo.

Basically a Bowie album with Iggy singing. Not a bad thing.

Lust for Life may have been released in the 70s but it became a 90s anthem after its iconic appearance in the opening scenes of Trainspotting. It still sounds fresh now. The Passenger, Tonight, Success, Fall in Love With Me. This album is chock full of bangers.

Bowie as producer/sideman...What an album!!!

На великом. Не самый мой любимый альбом, но энергия очень важная для меня

Turn blue killed something in me

Iggy pop is a good artist the album I liked the song from the album where I liked the most is Fall in Love with me

This was definitely better than the Stooges album that we heard a couple months back. I like the guitar riff oriented songs like Some Weird Sin and Success. And the vocals sound like he's channeling some David Bowie for sure. Unfortunately the creepo vibes in songs like Sixteen are really hard to look past in 2026.

Beyond Sixteen, I was quite impressed with this release from Iggy Pop years after The Stooges release I was not much of a fan of in the late 60’s. It’s no surprise that David Bowie played a big part in this album, my appreciation for his impact only grows. 1 listen Favorite Track: Tonight

Was not initially impressed then some strong songs pushed this up to 3.

Didn't grab my attention much; like Arctic Monkeys but less interesting. It seemed like The songs mostly stuck to one idea.

Dammit! Another artist I don't like showing up for a 2nd album! And we're only 201 albums in. Iggy Pop is someone I've known of for a long time, and I've never understood why he's popular (even considered "cool," by some). His singing is unpleasant, and his music is boring. I dunno, that's maybe a little harsh. But it's just not something I'll ever seek out, not something that I find very interesting or enjoyable. Maybe he's someone you have to see live, to appreciate - but, in order to see someone live, don't you usually have to like their music first? It's kind of a mystery to me, why he's popular. 2 stars.

On the surface, it's not good music. So why is it popular? Because he's a character? Because it's funny, drug-related, irreverent? If so, I don't care. That's not what I look for in music. I have to assume there's some element of schadenfreude in the fan-base. Like the appeal is that he's making a fool of himself? The last album was called The Idiot, to my point. To close my point, "Turn Blue." What the fuck is that 2 stars for creativity and craftsmanship. No higher because this. ain't. for. me.

Ikonisk opener. Mye bra ellers også.

Heerlijk genieten

Allemaal toppers

Pretty solid. No complaints from me. Passenger has been one of my favorite songs for a really long time ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great album. I listened to a lot of Stooges, but not Iggy's solo stuff so I don't know that I've heard more than a couple songs off this album before. But boy was I embarrassed to realize I didn't know that he was the one who sang "The Passenger". :) A couple songs are less-than-stellar, but have a redeeming humor or quirkiness. Still gonna give it 5 stars.

No esta nada mal

Not what I expected when I saw the name of Iggy Pop. I liked the classic rock songs and all, but it's not so memorable to me. Good, not great

2 great songs

It’s alright I guess. List for Life and Passenger I knew, the rest were mostly listenable but nothing that excited me. (3)

Really big fan of this record - I've never delved into Iggy Pop’s music too much, but after this I definitely will. The album has an energy and groove to it, brimming with confidence in every track. If you didn't know it was Iggy Pop you could definitely be forgiven in thinking this was a Bowie album, but it's put together brilliantly with it's own unique quirks that make it feel like it's own vibrant entity.

Fun and interesting. I feel jazzed up like I could go out and make my sales calls after listening to this. 4/5

I really like The Passenger but don't think anything pushed it above 3/5 for me.

This one’s got Lust for Life AND The Passenger on it!! Other than that, it doesn’t do MUCH for me!! Not a fan of the longer tracks on this one. After Turn Blue it felt like looking at the length of the last track was the albums way of laughing at me. And THEN the album just kind of ends shortly after me getting into the last track. COME ON.

Enjoyed more than I thought I would.

Ok

This is vintage Iggy - a good rockin' time, complete with a couple of all time classic tunes. Liked Songs Added: Lust For Life The Passenger Success

Singles by far and away the best tracks on the album.

This album was so great compared to his early Iggy and The Stooges stuff. You can tell he started to excel as a musician from then to here. Pretty cool and a really enjoyable sound from front to back

probably can't go wrong at all with Bowie-coded punk. Hated the movie Trainspotting but at least it got me really into this album

A legit mastapiece!

I thought I was tripping by noticing Bowie's style all over the album lol. It's fine, but not really outstanding imo.

Superb!

I expected it to be good, but not THAT good.

I think of this more as a Bowie album— his production style and Berlin-era synth flourishes throughout, with Iggy singing in his durable melodic-howling way. 4.5 stars.

Excellent from start to finish. Despite having David Bowie's lovely hands all over it, this album is quintessential Iggy Pop and laid the foundation for what was coming next.

The Passenger and Lust for Life are great tracks, which have stood the test of time. The rest of the album isn’t great.

It’s not too bad it reminds me of let it bleed in the sense that it’s good but there is a long streak of boring dumb stuff. i don’t like when he starts crying like a baby during one of the songs. there’s an example of something dumb.

It mostly rocks.

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

muy bueno

Some obviously classic tracks but I think I prefer the rawness of his earlier stuff with the stooges.

Strong, prefer the stooges stuff to his solo work but the passenger is such a good song. Sometimes blunted abit by spacey production

Less goth and more rock than The Idiot but I enjoyed it about the same. Perhaps the highs are higher here but there’s just something about The Idiot. Anyway only an idiot wouldn’t feel something from listening to this. The title track and The Passenger get most of the plaudits but my favourite here is Some Weird Sin.

Musically, not bad. But lyrically, there’s multiple things that give me the ick.

pedophilic and, thus, not a #banger

I liked this soooo much better than The Stooges album (one of the worst). These songs are actually a great mix of pop and rock in a fun way and I feel the Bowie influence. Iggy Pop's voice doesn't do anything for me but this is still a fun listen overall. Top Songs: Lust For Life, The Passenger, Tonight, Success

3/5

This album’s greater consistency makes it better in some ways than The Stooges’ records. Lacking the same visceral kick, Lust for Life does not fall prey to some of the Stooges excesses. For the Stooges, bong hit 15 minute tracks, incomplete songwriting and self-sabotage diminished the records just a tad. On Lust for Life the constant backing vocals became one obstacle keeping this album from impeccable status. Occasionally, they have the “Oh,oh, oyo” chant of Bowie records. However, most of the time, they lack professional quality and the endearing shortcomings of Keith Richards or Ronnie Laine. For the most part, Iggy stayed away from his lizard troubadour balladeer that plagued his later albums. Only “Turn Blue” has Iggy falling into his private detective narrating a bleak tale mode. “Tonight” starts off with this approach, but luckily shifted into a more swinging style to accompany his sweet panacea as his girl turns blue. The Stooges always had two to three songs to blow you away. “Lust for Life” and “The Passenger” supply an enormous dose of infectious rock with “Sixteen” and “Some Weird Sin” completing an awesome first four songs to the record. “The Passenger” has a rhythm that slings the listener back and forth. It perfectly matches the lyrics’ image of a hair in the face ride through a darkened city. The work of the Sales’ brothers deserves note for this one, and of course the perfect rumble of “Lust for Life.” “Some Weird Sin” dials down the thundersticks volume of The Stooges into a tight rocker. Echoes of Bowie’s fingerprints seep through in spots. The most Bowiesque track came at the end as the guitar sound reminded me of Carlos Alomar and Robert Fripp’s work on the Berlin trilogy albums. Iggy controls this record as he updates both his sound and image while providing a link to the traits that won me over on earlier records.

aight

Solid all the way through.

Classic proto-punk, it's easy to see Iggy's jazz and soul inspiration, with a Detroit background and a New York point of view. One of my favorite albums

Very fun album

You get "Lust for Life" "Passenger" and a couple gems in there, along with two of the worst songs I've had so far in my 1001 in "Sixteen" and "Turn Blue"

Great album. The passenger is such a classic, I just love that song. Album as a whole is very fun, consistent to the end, great raw production evoqueing the punk ethos when it could have had higher fidelity. Good vibe

This album is like a member of my friend group. There's certain albums we all had on all the time and would party and blast and sing every word to. This is one of them.

More like Lust for Children. Gross. The bummer is this is a really good album outside of that song. But that’s probably because of David Bowie’s heavy influence. I don’t fucking know all I know is I can’t think of Iggy Pop without getting deeply uncomfortable

ew

Iggy, oh Iggy. This has a couple of my all time favourite tracks on it, such a great album and you can hear the influence from Bowie spread through the whole album. Absolute classic

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

3.1

Love it

Only knew two of these before. The Bowie influence shows through. A few missteps (Sixteen? Really?).

not really my style but enjoyable

dnf

Dit klink soos 'n punk weergawe van david bowie. Ek love dit

A fun album and a big departure from the stooges. It feels very much like the Rolling Stones meets Bowie.

Iggy’s gonna Iggy. For good and for bad.

This was great. Well done to this guy

I remember liking this album a little more four or five years ago. It’s still solid; Lust for Life and The Passenger will still sound fresh in another 50 years and I’ve always been a fan of Fall in Love With Me. But at the end of the day, it’s a sleazy rock album and I mean that as both a compliment and a criticism.

Despite containing two all-time crossover classics in Lust for Life & The Passenger, this album is a lot weaker than The Idiot. That said, it's essentially another go at Bowie ventriloquizing Iggy Pop so it is still pretty good. Outside of the album's two major tracks, I've become particularly fond of Tonight (later repurposed for Bowie himself), Neighborhood Threat, and the closing track Fall in Love With Me. I've always thought of this as the sort of light-side daytime counterpart to The Idiot's Berlin Nights vibe. It's good but I'm more of a night person.

Trainspotting was my introduction to Iggy Pop. Two songs from that soundtrack appear here and they make for a great album. Favorite tracks: Lust for Life, The Passenger, Success, Fall In Love with Me

First half of the album is solid. Back half trails off a bit, but is still okay. Probably my favorite Iggy album.

Klasik rock n roll gene

so solid. unreal that this was 1977.

I've liked this album more on past listens than I did this time around, but "The Passenger" is just such a great song to me that it saves the whole thing. Some cool moments, more melodic than other Iggy albums, to me he can still feel like a more limited version of Bowie or the Stones, but the 1001 album exercise has made me appreciate him more. This is like a 3.4 that I'll round up for this new appreciation.

Great! The title song, some weird sin, and the passenger are classic rocking tracks that you still hear in tv ads and radio today… sixteen is a little dated and creepy though. Guitar tone and solos from here comes success are beefy and impressive. Turn blue has a nice bluesy grandeur with a lot of soul and vulnerability. Throughout the album iggys vocals get nice boosts from the background singing and bluesy guitar riffs that remind me of the stones and velvet underground. Lyrics have some humor and are delivered clearly and levity by iffy. I like him. I’m surprised when I look at the year the album came out. I guess it has more of a 60s or early 70s sound. My guess is that iggy was a bit of a throwback to the doors and stones. The last track “fall in love with me” is very reminiscent of the doors. I think this album could be played anywhere, and the band sounds like it would be amazing live. I think it’s a 5 for me.

Pretty good album. I knew a couple of the songs already, and enjoyed the rest. Didn't blow my mind, but had a good time.

Kinda creepy

Really enjoyed his vocal range. Easy listen. Passenger is a classic favourite. Not much else to say not anything crazy for me.

This was a lot stronger than the other Iggy Pop album on this list IMO; I was unsurprised to see that David Bowie had helped with the songwriting/arrangements.

You can hear Bowie all over this, and while this arty dark (and legit creepy) chugging album makes Pop pop, I have never been able to get into the two big hits (Lust for Life and Passenger). Solid but I am uncompelled.

Probably unfair, but he has always struck me as David Bowie lite. This was fun at times —“The Passenger” is solid—but as a whole didn’t sway me.

1 - 4/10 not really my taste, relatively boring 2 - 8/10 the guitar is great 3 - 6/10 4 - 8/10 a classic, however it drags a bit 5 - 7/10 reminds me of bowie 6 - 8/10 7 - 5/10 kind of bluesy, he sounds like a dying cat however 8 - 6/10 like the guitar 9 - 8/10 has country vibes

The best songs carry the filler to a 5 rating. Just

i thought i wouldn't liked but it turned out i really liked it

Another boring album from the 1970s that I’m supposed to like because it’s from the 1970s - just because YOU are nostalgic about this, book writers, doesn’t mean it is good. Another boring 70s pedophile song, I guess you could just say whatever you wanted back then and people fifty years later people will say hurray !!! great album !!!! I like Some Weird Sin. I’m scared about what it means to Iggy Pop specifically, given the last track on the album was about a 16 year old girl but perhaps I shouldn’t overthink it. I don’t care that it was a different time man I don’t wanna hear it. I KNOW the song Passenger which is weird. My Dad used to play it all the time on the guitar. So that’s sort of nice to hear. If I was on Iggy Pops bed and I was turning blue and he started to sing ‘Everything Will Be Alright Tonight’ at me there would be no more Iggy Pop because I would have killed him. Annoyingly I actually quite like the song, damn it. Shit I quite like Success too, fuck ! Do I like Iggy Pop ?? I’ve been live reporting on this album as I listen and there has been a few bangers in a row now … am I about to eat my hat ? Will I finally bond with my father over our joint love of Iggy Pop ? Is my life forever changed ? Oh Jesus ok a cringe start to Turn Blue to say the least can he turn it around ? Ok I don’t MIND this either what is happening to me. Omg the gotta make someone cum line YIKES I’m spiralling here not a fan of that line at all. Ok ok Turn Blue is an endurance test dear God. NOT A FAN. I quite like Neighbourhood Threat to - this album can’t be a five because of the noncery but will it be a four ???? Seriously ???? After everything I said above ??? ‘A table made of wood’ likely thing for a table to be made of - I’m enjoying Fall In Love With Me also - this is a four ??? I can’t beleive it ???? I liked more songs than I hated ???? Ok yikes ‘You’re younger than you look ??’ stop it Iggy. It’s hanging onto four by its fingertips. He needs to stop calling this woman YOUNG - I’m enjoying this song inspite of myself. This has been a truly wild ride this morning.

I’ve heard this before. Iggy’s solo career has some good stuff though it’s nowhere near as good as the Stooges, and there’s some good stuff on this album. Also it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a commercial that uses Lust for Life in it so that it’s fun to listen to again. It’s extremely funny that a song about heroin abuse was used to advertise cruise ships and cars and stuff, but then again I remember seeing a commercial that used Jane Says in it. Maybe there’s a commercial that uses Chinese Rock in it that I’ve never seen. I’d take a point off for selling out but I won’t because that’s the funniest way to sell out.

Went through quite the Iggy pop phase about a year ago and I still love it. So easy to get into but don't listen to the lyrics too closely...

The friendship between David Bowie and Iggy Pop is fascinating, and should be the subject of a movie. When Bowie encountered The Stooges, he’d had several failed solo albums and was still finding his way, while the Stooges were worshipped in their hometown, and also by the rock cognoscenti on the coasts. Bowie was the student, Iggy was the master, imparting wisdom on how an essentially nerdy, intellectual guy can tap into primal rock energy, resulting in Ziggy Stardust. A couple years after Bowie produced Raw Power (1973), an artistic but not commercial success, he scooped a strung out Iggy out of the gutter in L.A. and eventually brought him to Berlin for a fruitful collaboration that started with The Idiot, a sort of dirgy dry run for Bowie’s artsy/ambient Low, then back to Iggy who had sharpened up, taking 8 mile walks outside of the Berlin wall, and became the master again on Lust for Life. With ‘Heroes,’ they released four albums in one year between them. How awesome would it be if there was Let It Be style footage of all those sessions. Low gets deserved acclaim, but LFL is packed with the most bangers, including arguably Iggy’s greatest song, “The Passenger.”

not my style

I unapologetically love everything Iggy, but this is one of his best.

It’s no Stooges but still a lot of fun.

Lust for Life, The Passenger are great. Surprisingly not much else memorable on the A side. 'Success'...never heard it before, but I'm digging it.

Awesome punk classic. Everything about this record is great. Fun to listen to!

крайне неплохой сольник у Игги получился

Didn't have the mood maybe, but doesn't seem like my type of music

tiene buenos temas

Pre Listen: I reckon this is the Iggy that dog from Jojo is named after. That's about as far as my knowledge goes in relation to him. No expectations! Notable Tracks: The Passenger - I think I know this one. Sounds crazy familiar. Seems to be the most popular on the album by plays/views too. I wonder where/when/if I heard it? Turn Blue - Somehow both my favorite and least favorite song on the album? Has really great moments and an overall good sound, but also some deep lows when Iggy decides to start yelling like a fool. Post Listen: This guy's voice could easily pass as David Bowie's. I wonder how he felt about the guy. Solid music overall, the lyrics, vocals and instrumentation was all well done. It just wasn't very memorable in any way I could really find. Sounds like default rock and roll. I'd struggle to really place it in a specific rock-adjacent genre even. I'm struggling to even recall any other specific songs than the ones I mentioned, despite having just finished the album like an hour and a half ago. It's like a plain bagel with some good jam and cream cheese; it's a good meal and you like it, but you'll almost certainly will forget having ate it in 2 days or less. 3/5

Tonight was really good. I feel compelled to listen to this again but I can’t really name any stand-outs besides Tonight. I think it was all just consistently very good.

Not particularly interesting. Pretty repetitive and dull lyrics without much musical quality at all.

9/10

Can definitely hear the influence this album has had on other rock artists. A thirty year old writing a love song to a sixteen year old is creepy.

Lust For Life is one of those albums that just connected to me immediately after I first heard it in my big music exploratory freshman-in-high-school age. Iggy's singing and stage presence is unmatched but imitated often-sort of the first true punk rocker with the help of David Bowie who contributed a lot to this and The Idiot, which I love more and have a more personal connection with. Lust For Life and The Passenger are classics, and I love the energy on Some Weird Sin, Tonight, and Success. Fall In Love With Me is another song that sort of matches my vibe. Superb album, la la la la lalala la

I like the themes of addiction and loving life to your fullest while in recovery. I like the sort of grungey rock sound. I was jamming until he started singing about a 16 yeah old 🫩

this album cover is really unnerving. The music is fine. it's got a Bowie, Stones feel to it. I literally thought "Lust for Life" was a Rolling Stones song my entire life. What car was this in the ad for? what a sell-out. oop, my bad- it was for a cruise ship commercial.

The two most popular songs in the album are used in almost every commercial ever. That was fun to learn

Boring yet still manages to be controversial

Perfect Every song is catchy, rocking and Iggy’s voice matched the instrumentation brilliantly. Need this on record ASAP.

A classic.

Great song, then lots of pretty good songs

Definitely a 3.5 but unfortunately some albums must fall victim to the 1001albumsgenerator 5 star system

Nice listen, even though nothing really particularly stands out to me

Quite good. really liked the longer tracks and didn't hate anything except the obligatory creepy old punk guy song Sixteen, of course

Good on ya, Iggy. Great album

Early punk from Iggy, I knew the hits, the rest kind of is into the same vein.

mhmhmh semi

Sue me, but I never liked this one. It's spotty in quality at best and I'm genuinely sick of both the title track and The Passenger at this point.

Have never listened to this as a whole before, but I'm familiar with the title track and The Passenger. Turn Blue was a standout but I enjoyed most songs.

драйвово, не могу сказать, что мое, но развеселил, под ситуацию

Always assumed Iggy Pop sucked because he never wears a shirt, but I listened to this album 3 times through. Turn Blue is especially powerful, and Success is fun as hell, no skips on this album.

not my style at the moment... but i know it has potential to other contexts of my life

Perfectly okay. I don’t dislike, don't really like either. Fine to listen, I like the album title. He’s in a very unique niche of this era. Kind of leads up to that 80s poppy sound. Not my favorite, not a hater either.

I've heard the singles too many times, especially Lust for Life, but as an album it's decent. At times plays as a bonus Bowie album.

I love Iggy. What can I say? What would music be like if Iggy didn’t form the Stooges? We would’ve gotten here, but it would be different. Less interesting. Not as fun. Iggy makes music like if Godard and Bo Diddley made a movie together, but the medium was the light of a roaring fire illuminating the wall of a cave. Like a visionary primitive. Lust For Life covers all our primal urges through an art nouveau filter. It’s minimalistic abstraction. Everyone thank whatever higher power you believe in for Iggy Pop.

Mmh

Lust for Life!

High highs, hilariously low lows.

Decent album with some really great highlights 4*

Isn't something I would usually pick to listen to but i enjoyed it

Nope

Ginger me bum it’s piggy pops

‎

In the first minute I had a feeling that I would enjoy this album, and I am happy to say that feeling was correct! Great songs from start to finish! Great, fun, energy.

Interesting proto-grungy rock sound. At it's best when the swung heavier sound is prominent. Unfortunately weighed down by less engaging and more experimental tracks that don't really land. Big hits make the album worth a listen on their own. Top tracks: Lust For Life, The Passenger, Neighborhood Threat

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.

I liked it more than expected. Still not something crazy. Favorite track(s) The Passenger

cool

Two thumbs up

Two cracking songs, the rest solid. A very strong 4.

Getting Iggy with it

Lust for Life is the sound of Iggy Pop rediscovering the thrill of being alive. After the bleak, skeletal atmosphere of The Idiot, this record bursts open with swagger, color, and reckless energy. The title track is pure adrenaline, but the album isn't just a collection of punk anthems—it veers into strange, soulful, and even reflective territory without losing its edge. David Bowie's fingerprints are all over the production, yet Iggy never feels overshadowed. His voice is equal parts sneer, grin, and battle scar. It's messy in places, but that's part of its charm. Lust for Life has personality to spare: loud, unpredictable, and impossible to mistake for anyone else. It feels less like a polished statement and more like spending forty minutes with the coolest, most chaotic person at the party.

Very Bowie, I prefer it when it's less glam rock. Very good.

would’ve given this higher if the lyrics weren’t so noncey

Fun

Iggy's one of those blind spots I haven't really explored. Definitely hear Bowie's hand in this album. At first, I wasn't sure I was going to get into it but as the album kept going, I enjoyed it. Definitely get some of those 70s alt vibes....Lou Reedish in areas, maybe even a little Tom Waitsish.

I really love this album. I'd vote 4.5 stars if it had something else on it instead of "Turn Blue". I've had the album for at least 15 years and it's a great album to just put on and listen too, especially when driving. I know some have issues with some of the themes in the songs but for me I treat this like a block buster movie, turn the brain off and end up with the question "were you not entertained?" and to me the answer is "yes - except for Turn Blue". Only track I would ever skip because my impression is Bowie wanted a low key confessional ballad type song for Iggy. A soggy bohemian rhapsody came to mind being off this era. It's probably something Bowie and Iggy may have wanted to record but it's too much out of place in this album imho. If they felt they had to include it then it's their prerogative, but most of the album was in the theme of cheeky dumb fun. The classics are classics for a reason - Lust for Life and The Passenger. "Success" shows all Iggy wanted is to have fun and laugh at the whole thing. "Neighborhood Threat" is arguably Iggy at his most rock n roll phase post Stooges done in the late 1970s style and is the hidden gem for people that don't have this album. Even the last track ends up with a cheekiness that so befits the poor dude's mug on the album cover. I love it all besides "Turn Blue".

4.5 stars as I didn’t listen to the whole thing but I didn’t skip any that I listened to felt very vibey and fun and unique

Probably great to see live Very of its time, Bowie does it better The Passenger is a banger Didn’t really make me feel anything, decent songs though

Second Iggy's album, second album produced by Bowie, second masterpiece. The title track and the Passenger are rightly celebrated but the general quality of the songs is stratospheric (well, Turn Blue is a little weird but that's OK...) IMO, the underrated gem is Some Weird Sins, starting from the amazing lyrics about the point of view of a society's outcast (as Iggy undoubtedly must have felt). If you haven't yet, check out Iggy's performing it at Top of the Pops, especially how he mocks the lame program's format 15 something years before Cobain's rather pathetic antics...

Raw and rugged - authentic. Rarely hear music like it these days.

i like the rough sound! wtf is sixteen. some standout tracks but i dont think it's an album i would come back to.

Most of this album was bad. And then you get songs like Passenger and Lust For Life. It’s hard to rate one like this.

I really enjoyed this. The production is great. Will revisit.

Energetic with some good hits. 3/5

Great album. Every song is great. Produced by Bowie, this is Iggy at his best. Love it. 5 stars.

7/10 Very digestible Probably better after a second listen Prefered the second half of the album, reminds me of Bowie

More misses than hits, but there are a few gems.

I enjoyed it but I don't think that the whole album will be in my rotation. Loved the classic tunes and the energy of the album. If I have to choose one classic rock song, The Passenger would be in the top 10.

en algún momento me cansaré de poner 3 estrellas? Creo que no

Okay at best…

Bowie

Solid album. Favorites: Lust For Life, The Passenger, Tonight, Success

If you close your eyes it’s almost David Bowie. Has two huge bangers and a handful of pretty good songs. I don’t know the lore of Iggy Pop but I get the feeling it’s not great. Rating solely based off of the music. 8/10

esse tal de Iggy Pop é bem pop

Reminds me of the strokes, and David Bowie combined. Nothing particularly stood out. It was a good listen and really just a good classic rock album. Of course, my music knowledge is relative— as I was born later I’ve experienced anything this project may have inspired I.e. the strokes and such. Nonetheless, some interesting tracks, and nice riffs.

Chaotic and raw lyrics just to my liking Like passenger and success the most

Lust for Life ist ein Album was Lust auf mehr macht. Bowie hatte seine Hände mit am Werk - eigentlich ein Garant für gute Musik. Mein absoluter Liebling ist hier "The Passenger".

Great album. Sounds like some early Bowie with some blues to it.

Iggy slop

Another pedo from the 70's.

Eww. Pedos get 1 star.

Was meh. The vocals didn't work for me.

Most of the songs are catchy with a couple of exceptions.

This is as good a post-Stooges Iggy album as there is. The title track and the Passenger should play in a loop along with "TV Eye" and "Dirt" when his shirtless monument is erected on the National Mall. The latter half is the kind of solid punk/hard rock David Bowie could never quite make on his own. The repeats on "Success" crack me up every time. It's not exactly consistent, but are you looking for consistency with Iggy Pop?

Credit the steadying influence of his pal and producer David Bowie if you want (though the never-released album Kill City, recorded a couple years before this, may disabuse that notion), but Iggy Pop came up with gold on Lust For Life, as if he was banking inspiration and ideas in the drug-addled years following the collapse of The Stooges. A former drummer himself, Iggy picked a good one to back him here, adding force to bangers like “The Passenger” and “Lust For Life,” itself one of the oddest choices to soundtrack ads for a family-friendly cruise line. Iggy & Co. find a delicious groove on “Tonight” and strike a menacing tone on the underrated “Neighborhood Threat.” Of course, I’ve had it in the ear before.

Drums like this were want made me want to play the drums.
