Enter Iggy Pop as the Godfather of Punk
This album was evidently the beginning of the end for Iggy and the Stooges but was the rumbling beginnings of Punk Rawk! When the album came out, it wasn't recieved well and while it was being recorded the band was having bruised ego problems. You can really feel the anger at times and the drying up of the creative pool as a band. This may sound like garbled mesh to the masses but to the little punk kids in training this was one of the records that taught those kids how to break the rules of rock so they could remake it in their own image. This isn't one of those albums that is observed for its intricate musical detail, but its attitude.
The remastered version is the original David Bowie mix and contains a bonus live recordings of a show in Atlanta.
