no hills, no downward plunges or sharp curves, just the jittery end of the ride stop and dis-embarkment. There’s no search and destroy here, there’s also no psych punk Queens of the Stone Age ear splitting anthems, it’s all slightly affected nervous energy, injected with a spirit that belays the end of a roller coaster ride. Here we find Iggy Pop making the rounds with Josh Homme, each hoping to gain some credibility from the other, just as Iggy so transparently did with Lou Reed, David Bowie, and a host of others. This is not punk, this is not 21st century punk, this is frustrating musical purgatory that will not last for more than one or two playings.

The album has a feel of desperation laced with incomplete thoughts, structured to guide the listener nowhere. He might have well recorded with Primal Scream, they couldn’t have helped him make it any worse. Post Pop Depression by Iggy Pop supported by mannadja it makes me feel special. But this, this is Iggy trying to be relevant, and failing utterly. If Iggy had one thing going for him, it was that he was a one trick pony and you always knew what you were gonna get. it’s just bad because it’s a grouping of songs presented in a manner that’s irrelevant. Make no mistake about it, Post Pop Depression is not bad because it’s the music of an old man, it’s also not bad because of its association with Queens of the Stone Age. Iggy tells us that he likes the songs, and so do some of his friends though he says it in a less than convincing manner. Rolling Stone talked endlessly about the old Iggy and his emergence with the Stooges. MOJO gave it page after page and talked only about the secret nature of the release and Iggy’s Rolls Royce. Most music rags are afraid to tell you they don’t like the album for whatever reason. Post Pop Depression is not something I even care about, much less hold dear to my heart, praising the powers that be, thrilled and saddened in the same moment that I’m holding a new Iggy Pop album in my hands, and knowing it will be the last. Review: Iggy Pop, Post Pop Depression The rock legends new album with Queens Of The Stone Ages Josh Homme is all sharp angles, hard muscles and decadent ecstasy. Here we are, stepping into the 21st century, and Iggy Pop is attempting to doing the same old shtick he did in the latter half of the 20th century, and doing it not nearly as well. but those moments come on fast and and are just as fleeting. People would like to tell you that there’s something raw and hedonistic about Iggy Pop, and for mere moments that’s true. So why in the world would I think that Post Pop Depression, especially claiming it as his swan song, complete with Queens of the Stone Age in tow, would be any more, or any different. Yet after all this time I still find Iggy Pop to be nothing more than a novelty, with a mere handful of songs that I enjoy. I’ve lived nearly my whole life with Iggy, I’ve lived nearly my whole life attempting to like his music, his theater, his character, and his vision.

when did you come of age with Iggy Pop? Did your ears first meet Iggy in 1969 as I did, was it 1973, or was it in 1977, when a song about a passenger sent your fingers rushing to dial the radio station to see who was singing. That humble decision led to one of his best albums in decades.', 4 stars out of 5 - 'Instead of headlong heavy rock, Homme reprises the near-baroque poise of QOTSA’s …LIKE CLOCKWORK - itself clearly informed by Berlin-era Iggy, but never resembling a lame remake.', 'POST POP DEPRESSION helps Pop and his producer-sideman in equal measure, and it’s one of the better recent releases from both.', 'A record that recaptures the avant-rock frisson of Iggy’s Bowie collaborations, in exploratory spirit if not explicitly in sound.So. It’s an intelligent, sassy garage rock record that’s obsessed with two things: sex and death.', 'The lyrics here are some of the finest Iggy has ever written, perfectly balancing out a more morbid line of thought than he’s followed before with an undiminished lust for late life.', 'The raw, powerful 'American Valhalla' confronts the afterlife with a shudder over a glowering bass thud.', 'POST POP DEPRESSION is an album in which Iggy allows himself to walk in shadows, rather than cast a bold new shadow of his own. 4 stars out of 5 - 'On his awesomely gnarled 17th solo album, he plays the low-rent elder statesman, a spectacularly scuzzball Leonard Cohen still snarling, still hoping to get his rocks off.', 'Iggy’s vocals and lyrics are astounding - he’s like an angry young man all over again, and is far more gnarly and potent than any of his contemporaries.
