I bought this one and Lust For Life at the same time maybe five years ago, when they had new vinyl reissues, and both are excellent.This is outstanding, it’s like the glam link to Heroes and Low. Iggy’s voice and cadence gives it all a very Velvet Underground/Lou Reed feel.
I’ve liked most of what I have heard by Pop, which before this year was the occasional whatever song on radio or MTV. I have Lust for Life but don’t feel like I’ve ever given it the attention it needed. I grabbed a copy of Post Pop Depression because cheap and Homme. I’ve been digging through the Stooges because I’ve been reading Bangs.
This is the thing I have liked the most on first listen. It’s just out there and very Bowie but different. Even China Girl, the melody is the same but played by a band somewhere between the glam of Alladin and the first side of Heroes. There’s a harder edge to it and the entire album.
Mass Production is just stunning.
I love this.
I've also seen him in concert twice and it's always amazing to watch him up there on stage because he's older than my Dad but somehow he's still going strong.
