Iggy Pop: "Preliminaires" album review
about 1 month ago

You've got to give Iggy Pop points for effort.  The former Stooge takes a big detour on his new album Preliminaires.  Based on the writings of French author Michel Houellebecq, the album takes the now 62-year old punk godfather into new sonic territory.Most of the songs on the album are jazzy numbers, complete with horns.  It's definitely new ground for Pop, however it just does not work out.

As much as he is known for rolling in broken glass or smearing himself with peanut butter, his real power is comanding the mike, and getting you to listen. ...
