The IdiotIggy Pop

Rated 6/10

Funny how much this Iggy sounds like Bowie...but that isn't a bad thing. 3/5

Fantastic album. Love Rudy Can't Fail, Clampdown and so many others. For coming out of the formative punk scene the clash always surprise with how fun their music is. 4.5/5

I quite like The Strokes, but also feel they may be the most overrated band of all time at the same time. I feel this album is just an above average Indie staple, nothing like the era defining masterpiece most exalt it as. 4/5

Certainly some highlights, but even those don't really move me the way you would expect from an alltime classic. It does still surprise me this was like the first big signing to the Beatles label. 2.5/5

Was the album all just the same song? I heard different words pertaining the love throughout, but other than that it was just one block of indifferent warbling. 1/5

Rated 4/10

Nothing spectacular. In general I find formative Hardcore vastly inferior to the modern analogue. 2/5

Rated 10/10

What else can be said...an absolute masterpiece by what has historically been my favorite band. What an amazing bridge from the "alternative" era sounds of the Bends to the genre pushing behemoths they exemplified from this point forward. 2 of my top five RH songs ever on the front half (Paranoid Android & Let Down...which was my go-to song on 5 am drives to winter swim practice in high school). Not a bad song on the album...even fitter happier has a place. 5/5

Used to really love this album...in fact it may have been my most listened to album of 2000. Don't think it holds up quite as welll...or maybe I wasn't in the right mood yesterday. Surprised to learn Say Hello, Wave Goodbye was a cover...that was probably my favorite song on the album. 4/5

Rated 4/10

just can't get into it. I think I bought this album when it came out on the strength of great reviews...yesterday was the first time I ever got through the whole thing. 1.5/5

Rated 6/10

Love Rush, but this album always seemed slightly overrated. I like the medley, but could pass on the rest of the album. 3.5/5

Crude, but liked it surprisingly well. One of those albums that I had heard/known of for ages but never gotten around to listening to. 3.5/5

Liked it better than I anticipated. Typically can't really abide the Who, but this one seemed fairly un Who like. 3/5
