Iggy Pop Post Pop Depression

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."
"POST POP DEPRESSION helps Pop and his producer-sideman in equal measure, and it's one of the better recent releases from both."
"[T]he raw, powerful 'American Valhalla' confronts the afterlife with a shudder over a glowering bass thud..."
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..."
"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. It's an intelligent, sassy garage rock record that's obsessed with two things: sex and death."
Paste (magazine) - "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. That humble decision led to one of his best albums in decades."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[A] record that recaptures the avant-rock frisson of Iggy's Bowie collaborations, in exploratory spirit if not explicitly in sound."
Clash (Magazine) - "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."
