Free Music Notes for The Stooges
Free Music Review: Two track album
Hit: 3 Stars
Compared to the manic energy of what was come later, the first album by The Stooges' sounds... dare I say it... relatively sedate. Relatively, I said. While most of the tracks're sounding a little dated to modern ears, the best tracks, "I Wanna Be Your Dog" and "No Fun", make that magical transition to timelessness, possibly because of their familiarity to those amongst us with an interest in cult music; more likely because of their small but undeniable influence on the mainstream.
Why three stars? Well, for me it's now a two track album. Should I buy it? Of course. Why? 'Cos your shopping cart already has the essential Fun House and Raw Power albums in it, so one more won't break the bank. Right? Right.

Not as monumental as Funhouse or Raw Power but still great. All guitarists need to study Ron's playing on this - simple but not simplistic, great tone and completely unique. Many have tried to imitate his style but nooone comes close. And Scotty, Iggy and Dave aren't too bad either!

Free Music Review: Pretty Awful Album
Hit: 2 Stars
Let me say first that Fun House by The Stooges is on my Top 10 CD list. And Raw Power is right up there. Plus I love Iggy Pop. And I listen to lots and lots of different music. Bought this mainly for consistency's sake. Bit of advice if you haven't heard Funhouse, get this first and work your way to Funhouse. If you get way into Funhouse first, this album will be a real big let down. Actually, do yourself a favor, download I Wanna Be your Dog, Real Cool Time, and Little Doll from iTunes or something. The rest of the tunes on this album are pretty bad and irrelevant. Then go buy the Rhino remastered Funhouse and Iggy's remix of Raw Power. The difference between this album and Funhouse sounds like two different bands. They can hardly play their instruments on this album and Iggy sounds pretty tame. Some of the solos are just god awful. Sorry, but Funhouse just rules The Stooges roost.Free Music Review: eh...

The remastered version sounds better than the first time around. Still, Cale had no idea what he had here. And there are still only 2 good songs here. The rest is boring. Seeing them live in 1969 wouldn't have been, I'm sure. Fun House and Raw Power are probably the two greatest rock records ever. Just listen to those and construct imaginary versions of I Wanna Be Your Dog and No Fun as recorded on one of those instead of buying this.Free Music Review: Mostly Overlookable
Hit: 2 Stars
Wow. Perhaps I'm just missing some awesome thing about the Stooges, but I was thoroughly unimpressed by this album. I only found 2 tracks that were listenable, "1969" and "No Fun" both of which sound pretty mainstream for the time period. The rest was some bizarrely boring attempt at being progressive or intriguing that in my opinion failed. I can't say too little about this album.
