Iggy and the Stooges return with a new album that is something different from their classics like their debut album “The Stooges” and “Raw Power.”

While it may be different, many elements of the album are similar to what someone could expect from Iggy and the Stooges . Everything is here, from the heavily distorted guitars to Iggy Pop’s signature voice.

But surprisingly, the album is not entirely the distorted, heavy punk the band is known for. There are a few lighter moments here like “Unfriendly World” and “The Departed.”

These tracks add something different to the album but ultimately aren’t memorable. The tracks that keep the spirit of their classic songs are the ones that stand out.

Iggy and the Stooges’  new album is a welcome release, but it lacks the memorability their classic albums have.
