Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. This is mature music that stretches the boundaries of Rock while remaining absolutely true to Rock's core disaffected, outsider aesthetic philosophy. Stunningly well arranged and executed in every way.

One of the most intelligent rock albums of all time. It's no surprise Iggy's core fans haven't a clue on this one, it runs the gamut from ballads to the best kind of tight, minimalist hook oriented rock to the avant guarde. It's everything it shouldn't be. Punk babies who thought punk was about adherence to fashion, spitting, head banging and nihilism will not like this.
