What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



Iggy surprised me once again with this one. Just did the follow up to this one a while back. That was Instinct and
I liked it quite well. This one comes out even higher. This is Iggy's seventh solo effort, and I'm thinking the
presence of David Bowie as produer has a lot to do with this being as good as it is. Some of these tracks sound
like they could be straight off a Bowie album from that period. All tracks but three are co-written by the two, and
two of those are written with Steve Jones. The best for me is the only track not written by one of those three, but
by Aussie rocker Johnny O'Keefe, Real Wild Child, of which I am still trying to block out the American Idol
performance of a couple years back. One song here, the title track, just doesn't fit, and I did not like at all.
Other than that, some nice depth to the music here, which you wouldn't expect from Iggy. This was indeed his most
commercially successful album even though it only reached #90 in the states and slightly better in the U.K. at #43.
That was good for an Iggy album. The Real Wild Child single was a #10 hit in the UK. If you're expecting punk,
don't look here. Iggy had gone mainstream.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Blah Blah Blah
