It's not weird, it's just crappy!


The Stooges- The Weirdness

This album sucks. It's like your younger brother started a punk band, and he's really excited about it and you overhear them practicing in your basement and when he asks you what you thought all you can say is "dude, you guys sound good, but...get rid of your singer." I even heard that Steve Albini didn't want his name on it as producer so they used the term "engineer" instead...
One good thing is that the album thankfully contains pics of Iggy with his shirt on (well, he has a jacket on but you can barely see his bare chest peeking through..phew). I didn't think any pictures of un-shirtless Iggy existed!
During the uber-crappy song called "My Idea of Fun", Iggy drones over and over: "My idea of fun/is killing everyone", and on the annoying "ATM", I think he's saying "money is simply the loot/gonna bullshit the bullshit up". It has been suggested that he's being trite on purpose-point taken, but if I wanna hear that crap I'll go down to the local shithole on a monday night (they save monday nights for the bands that suck) and shake my fist in the air to my little brothers new band...if I had a little brother.
