Greetings! I am writing to all from my new flat in London, where I will be staying for a couple months. Not only does this mean I might brag more, but it also means I might be learning more about the 1970s music scene during this time. I plan on visiting Camden this Friday. So will I have more to say about the albums then "um...the lyrics were okay?" Stay tuned to find out!
So the lyrics were okay on this album. Actually, in all seriousness, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Like Iggy Pop's previous album, The Idiot, it was produced by David Bowie. However, it is generally acknowledged that unlike the previous album, it sounds a lot more like Iggy than Starman. This actually made me enjoy it ten times more than The Idiot. I am not saying I am a Bowie hater. In fact, I would never say that on this blog, mostly because of fear for my personal safety. But the experimental songs just work better with Bowie behind them; they don't fit Iggy's personality as well.
"Passenger" is definitely the most stellar song in the album, but the other tracks don't disappoint. Sad to see Iggy go.
RATING: 4/5
