Iggy Pop Skull Ring [PA]

3 stars out of 5 - "...He's still plenty capable of sounding like the original dead-end kid wriggling out of a straitjacket...[Iggy and the surviving Stooges] still sound like the blue-collar skull-crushers they once were..."
"...When Iggy and the Ashetons buzz through [their tunes, it feels] all right..." - Rating: B
Ranked #36 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003" - "Cartoonish, primal and primal..."
4 stars out of 5 - "...Rest assured that Iggy's music is as powerfully singular as ever. SKULL RING throbs with ferocious intent..."
"...This ring is brass - good, solid..."
"...[On] SKULL RING, the 56-year-old wild child looks both forward and back....The obvious standouts are the four Stooges numbers..."
4 stars out of 5 - "...It confirms Iggy as a man who, after all these years, is still remarkably in love with his first love: rock'n'roll..."
