Iggy Pop is pretty much a god of rock. Every lead singer in every rock band rips him off weather they know it or not. So when I heard that the Stooges were recording a new album, I was very interested. I had read reviews about their new album, "The Weirdness" saying the new record wasn't that good.

I managed to get a copy of the cd and was excited about hearing what they had come up with. The Weirdness is pretty much a big dissapointment. I've never been a big fan of Steve Albini's production so it's unfortunate that he was picked to produce the first Stooges album in many years. As lame as this cd is if they played in my town I would still go see them because Iggy Pop is the original punk rock front man and the original is always the best.
