The Stooges
by The Stooges

It's actually a good album overall, with the first two tracks (1969, I Wanna Be Your Dog) being the highlights but that third track (We Will Fall) is just awful and that's 10 minutes of the album - almost a third of it! Such a shame as I did enjoy the riffs and the punkiness of the rest of the songs.

To me, this is the very first punk album. It's got a perfect kind of stoner/slacker way of not caring if it is great or even good. Kind of like some angry kids learning how to play the songs as they were recorded them. I don't care what anyone says about We Will Fall, catch a buzz, lay your head back and put that one on and it'll do wonders. Hands down the best Stooges album, and one of the very best of the 60's.

Grande quantidade de inovação e atitude!

A brilliant album except the over long We Will Fail. Not sure the song warrants inclusion never mind being 10 minutes long. Comes across very much as an album filler

I Wanna Be Your Dog and 1969 are great, the rest isn't as good but still not bad. The only throwaway for me is 10 minute We Will Fall which is unnecessary long.

All you gotta do is get a bit faster, Iggy!

not much here. punk early

Paren todo, que me quiero bajar!!! Esta frase de john lennon resume el primer disco de esta gran gran banda de proto punk o del estilo que cada uno piense que tienen. Iggy pop saca apalusos con sus letras abulicas, características del punk. "1969", "I wanna be your dog" and "no fun", clásicos del punk hoy mundialmente conocidos. Hay unpequeño guiño ahi de Iggy pop a la figura de Jim Morrison, Iggy se puso el nombre de "la iguana", como jim se llamaba a si mismo también "el rey lagarto"; los dos se retorcían en el escenario pero bueno, Iggy llevó todo el descontrol un paso más alla. Éste disco merece estar dentro de los 200 mejores en la historia del rock.

1969, I Wanna Be Your Dog, and No Fun are all good songs. The rest of this album...can't say much good about the rest of it. We Will Fall is 10 minutes you'll regret. There's nothing memorable in the other 4 songs. Really like Raw Power and Funhouse a lot more.

For this album the Stooges planned to record five songs which were for all intents and purposes were their live set of the day , these tracks were:
(1)"I Wanna Be Your Dog"
(2)"No Fun"
(3)"1969"
(4)"Ann" and
(5)"We Will Fall"
However Electra told the band they needed more songs and so 3 more tracks were hastily composed

The 10 minute slow dirge was a massive surprise fore me , most un-Iggy like

"I Wanna Be Your Dog" still sounds amazing today and carries this album
