    This is an old style, old school Iggy album and just goes to show the old boy can still do it. If you like the roaring, ranting, shouting Iggy of old with a hardcore and heavy driving '70's rock backing, then here you are, this is for you.
    Suck it up like I did.

    This return to blitzkrieg riffing is closer to nu-metal than old Stooges. [Aug 2001, p.136]

    Other old rockers sound old. Iggy sounds brutal, harsher than last time, louder than ever, a pummeling self-production pocked with magnificent metal dumbness... [Sep 2001, p.88]
  3. Entertainment Weekly

    A major improvement over Avenue B's acoustic midlife crisis, this self-produced disc finds the Ig yelping off the top of his id again. [27 Jul 2001, p.72]
