The Stooges: "The Weirdness" 3/6/07
Anyone else heard this? My local indie record store put it out early over the weekend, so I picked up a copy. I wasn't expecting something approaching the greatness of their original stuff, but on first listen, it's pretty disappointing. Iggy sounds terrible on several tracks, but I haven't listened to his solo stuff of recent years, so maybe it's just age. And the lyrics...yeesh. No one picks up a Stooges record expecting deep and meaningful words, but what's here is really dumb. The music seems a little too clean, a little too bland. Sad to say, but they should have left well enough alone.

I just ordered it from amazon. I am a little worried that they are going to soil their legacy if this album is subpar. The reviews I have read so far have been mixed. The fact that Albini produced it does provide me with some hope though.
