Stooges: The weirdness

#

Started by kossu (Petri Koskiniemi) in Other Bands & Artists

really waiting for this one, it´s going to be out next month, if I´m right on the 17th of March.
Hope the songs will be better than on the last Iggy solo “Skull ring” where he threw four songs with the Asheton bros. I´m not saying that those four songs are weak or bad but I´m waiting hell of more from this forthcomig album!
Anyone else lookin´forward for this one?

has anyone bought it? I haven´t had time to get to my recorddealer yet:(
I have read some reviews of it and those don´t promise that it´ll be a “new masterpiece”. Hope, they are all wrong:)

I just visited Berlin and bought The Weirdness. At first, every single song sounded boring. It was weird since the first three albums have kicked ass instantly, especially Fun House.

But after a few intensive listening experiences The Weirdness has grewn on me. Sure it’s got a couple of bad songs (“She Took My Money” and “I’m Fried” are not-that-good) but The Stooges still sound great and Iggy’s voice has improved since year 1973 :D Ain’t that a surprise.

The only thing that bugs me is the strange mix on the album. When you listen to it on the stereo, it’s difficult to hear the vocals. Although, it may be ‘cause of my pathetic speakers. The vocals are very clear when listened through the headphones.

I wasn’t expecting much from this album since these “reunion” thingies are usually catastrophic. The Stooges still have that energy on them. I like the album better than Raw Power, actually.

Three best songs are
Trollin’
Greedy Awful People
ATM

Thanx for the review Evil T. I´m waiting here to get my hands on the vinyl version (one LP and one one sided 12”) as it has four songs which aren´t on the cd.

Does it have a song called “O Solo Mio”? I noticed some cd versions list that song as a bonus track but my copy doesn’t have it :(

“O solo Mio” is there on the one sided 12”. I´m looking forward to the vinyl pressing but it`s not yet available here in Finland, so still some waiting for me.

Got it today on cd (couldn´t wait for the vinyl:))and I must say that I´m not happy with after the 1st listening:( hope it grows up on me. Cannot compaire it with earlier Stooges anthems, it sounds like an Iggy solo album, like the 96 “Naughty little doggy”.

You just need to give it some time. I told in an earlier post that “She took my money” is a corny song but now that son of a bitch is one of my favorites off The Weirdness :) The same thing happened with a lot of some other songs (i.e My idea of fun, Mexican guy, Free & Freaky etc). I think this album has a better impact to a listener who has absolutely no expectations of it :D

I haven’t really listened to Iggy’s solo albums (at least not the newer ones) so I can’t compare, but I gotta admit that this album lacks the mind-blowing bass sound the late Dave Alexander brought to the first two albums. Then again, “Raw Power” doesn’t have that sound either.

the vinyl version is better than cd, the sound is clearer and the drums don´t sound so dumb as on cd. And yes, that “O Solo Mio” is one of the best tracks. Also “nice” version of Beatles “I wanna be your man” classic. I like that one:D
