Free Music Notes for Fun House (Dlx)
Free Music Review: Never Surpassed
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the best hard rock albums of all time. This album and the Stooges 1st album (self titled) are rock masterpieces. Iggy Pop et al do it good on this album.
Definetly a top ten'er!!
Free Music Review: Essential Rock
Hit: 5 Stars
The good folks at Amazon need to list this as one of their "Essential Recordings". This cd rocks harder and better than anything I have ever heard .. it just doesn't get any better than this.Free Music Review: I haven't heard this kind of energy in a long time
Hit: 5 Stars
It's all been said in the other reviews so I'll just put in my two cents. Makes you wonder where all the cool, REAL rebellious musicians have gone. They are so wimpy today, aren't they?Free Music Review: As usual Rhino delivers the goods
Hit: 4 Stars
"Either you're a fan of Iggy Pop and The Stooges or you're not. I fall into the latter category. Although, I can't deny the raw, underground rock sound that The Stooges helped create on their debut and sophomore albums. With The Stooges you get the original 8 tracks plus the original mixes on the bonus disc that were deemed to artsy back in 1969.
With Funhouse, Iggy expands on his lyrical ability; I think these seven songs combined have twice as many words as their debut. The songs on the bonus disc are alternate takes of what turned out to be the final product. As usual Rhino delivers the goods with a combined total of 24 bonus tracks, original artwork, and expanded liner notes."
Free Music Review: Rudimentary Proto-Punk Sonic Torture
Hit: 2 Stars
The Stooges are one of those bands that makes me scratch my head and reach for the eject button. I can respect them for their pure rock and roll spirit, but musically they are rudimentary and almost unlistenable. I love heavy music from this era, but I don't understand why so many bands and critics celebrate this utterly untalented group. I know this isn't classical music, but when you listen to bands like Black Sabbath from the same era, you realize that it is possible to be both heavy/hard rocking and musically interesting. I would love for someone to explain why the hipper-than-thou music intelligentsia find this kind of garage music innovative but show absolutely no respect for a massively influential band like Black Sabbath. I'm sure watching Iggy Pop expose himself live is a great rock and roll experience, but listening to his albums is pure sonic torture. I went through my punk phase too, but it all basically sounds like rubbish to me now while classic heavy metal has aged like fine wine. My advice to readers: avoid this group and their ilk like a musical plague (unless you enjoy the plague). Rock on!
