Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
Sorta lacks oomph overall. It's got that sweet, genuine band vibe and I reckon the main goal was just for them to have a blast playing it. Woulda been neat if it hit as hard for us listeners as it did for them, but hey, whatever - it's their album, not ours.
The pressing is solid. There's a bit of surface hiss, but it's mostly noticeable with headphones during the quieter parts. Don't go in expecting ultra-precision: THIS THING WILL HIT YOU LIKE A TRUCK, seriously powerful! Perfect for this (awesome) music, though I wouldn't mind a tad more clarity in the recording. Just a heads-up about those awful paper sleeves. But hey, Steve Albini, you crazy genius.
Iggy's untouchable when he's with the Stooges, pure awesomeness, bow down!
The lowest moment for the Stooges. Praise god they followed this up with Ready to Die, which was at least decent. Rumor has it Iggy wasn't into the songs but recorded the album as a favor to Ron Asheton. Not all favors are worth doing. The Stooges here sound like a cheap knockoff of themselves. Some of the lamest Iggy lyrics ever put to tape.
