    Every Loser captures an Iggy Pop never more ready to be himself and never better equipped to deliver a stone-cold classic. [Feb 2023, p.78]

    Every Loser is lyrically and technically multidimensional.
  3. ‘Every Loser’ is a present-day primal punk resurrection from the only musician qualified to make one.

    All things considered, there are far more winners than losers here, and that's nothing if not a pleasant surprise.

    Whether you prefer him pensive or primal, his 20th solo album brings that big time.

    This is his most consistent, fully realized album since Brick by Brick (1990). It’s maybe even his best in more than four decades since New Values was released in 1979.

    It really says something when the desolate ballads (Morning Show) and spoken-word interludes on an Iggy Pop record are the tracks you want to go back to. It feels like elsewhere, Pop is impersonating himself.

    The assorted GN’R + Chili Peppers musicians backing Iggy sound like an actual Rock band playing from the hearts (as opposed to their wallets).The assorted GN’R + Chili Peppers musicians backing Iggy sound like an actual Rock band playing from the hearts (as opposed to their wallets). The lyrics are top-drawer Iggy. This album ranks among mr. Osterberg’s Top 5 easily, there’s no filler on this lean beast of an album. Expand

    Good album, pretty diverse. Good instrumental, too. Listened to it like a dozen times.

And this is a comprehensive description of his comeback, showing that the rebel has not changed at all even in his seventies. Expand

    Not much to recommend this album unfortunately. Possibly Iggy's worst album to date. One or two decent tracks in amongst the filler.
