AMG Review of Open Up and Bleed [Bomp!]

Cub Koda
All Music Guide

In the seemingly never ending chronicling of the Stooges, this collection gives a glimpse-via CBS rehearsal tapes-of what might have been the next album after Raw Power had the band not self destructed. Some of these songs ("Cock In My Pocket," "Head On") made their first appearance on the legendary Metallic K.O. live bootleg. A rag tag collection of live tapes from their final tour featuring maniacal versions of "Rich Bitch" and "Wet My Bed" round out this collectors' package.
