The commercial, varied, almost filigree third work for this riot camarilla shortly before the final split, but which still didn’t bring the urgently needed sales figures.
Credit is due to David Bowie for taking Iggy Pop under his wing, holding his hand in rehab, getting him a manager and the Columbia contract, because garage classics like “Search and Destroy” and the title track are the real deal been a shame.
Ron Asheton, on the other hand, has to be congratulated that he settled with the bass and thus cleared the way for James Williamson on the guitar, who here goes offensive and even relatively tricky – and who was never really thanked for that. On the contrary, in him one found the great bogeyman, who is said to have been it again.
It’s a matter of honor that the band always leads each other by a hair’s breadth and that the sound comes from the sewage system.
