1001 Albums Summary

Not listenin' to allat

Tusk definitely drags on for too long, with that said, there are still pretty great moments in this record, you should just not expect a Rumours-esque album, this isn't it. The band surely took a different turn, and it's not a bad decision, but the result is not very polished, there are clearly some dull moments that could've been cut. Overall a pretty good listen, the songwriting and arrangements may feel repetitive as the album progresses, and the record begins to wear on you when you arrive near the end, luckily the wonderful "Tusk" works amazingly as a reset; at least for me, this track was so refreshing and possibly came at the perfect moment to wake me back up. Other must-listens are (obviously) "Sara","Sisters of the Moon" and "Brown Eyes" I give it a 7.5/10.

Getting into this with "Search and Destroy" I found myself really disappointed when Iggy started singing like that, I couldn't bear that delivery and i honestly think this is one of the worst Stooges songs. Nevertheless the record picked up its pace really quickly with the really well sung "Gimme Danger", this was the Iggy Pop I knew all along, we then proceed with the guitar-heavy "Your Pretty Face...": Almost an introduction to what will be the mood of the rest of the album. Overall a super solid record, I guess I was disappointed by the first track since it was the most streamed on the album, also expected a more "Iggy Pop solo-album" vibe but got something rather more chaotic and (obviously) raw.

This album was really a thrill! There are no songs that feel weak or out of place, the guitar parts are wonderful and the album is a vibe all around! With that said I wouldn't consider this one of the best albums of all time, just super fun and catchy!

One of the greatest pieces of art ever conceived.

Fun. Catchy. Energetic
