CD Reviews

Iggy Pop - 'Skull Ring' (Virgin) 4 1/2 stars
Mike Reed | USA | 05/28/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Great follow-up to Iggy's 2001 'Beat 'Em Up' disc(see my review)and about as slammin' as one could expect.As for some who may've not heard,four of this CD's sixteen cuts had Iggy reunited with two of his former Stooge members.All four of the Stooges tracks sizzle,"Little Electric Chair",the title cut "Skull Ring","Loser" and especially the prototype punk rocking "Dead Rock Star".There are also tunes here that have Iggy pairing up with a couple of other more modern punk bands,liked the two songs he performs with Green Day.He also teams up with artists The Peaches and Sum 41.There were like maybe one of those tunes that I thought seemed tame.But,hey!For the most part,this title is a must-have.Includes a 12-page booklet with photos and song lyrics(get out the magnifying glass)."
Should have been a Iggy and Stooges disc!

"Iggy Pop and his band The Stooges (Asheton Brothers)

reunite on four tracks for the punk all-star disc. Green Day, Sum 41, Peeches and the Trolls appear on this

as well. It sounds great but I wished it was an all Stooges album. The tracks with the Stooges are the best of the bunch. The music still sounds raw (but more refined). I marked out when I heard these. Maybe in the future they'll record a full-fledge reunion album. One can dream....



Strongly recommended."
Very good stuff

"ONe of my gripes about most music reviews, is that they are almost written by fans of the artist, carrying their preconceived notions and biases with them.



I've never purchased an Iggy album before, and I really enjoy this. Criticisms that it's "radio ready pop" are ridiculous. I never heard any of these songs on the radio, not that they don't deserve it. Lyrics like "Anger and greed brew until they stampede/And I can transmute/Them into more loot" isn't exactly Bon Jovi.



What I like about this album is the songs rock hard, Iggy's voice is excellent, the production and mix is good, the guitar tones are heavy and awesome, the most of the lyrics are interesting and offbeat, and it doesn't get old. For hard rock fans, definitely worth it."
