Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome back The Stooges

Anthill Trading wants to congratulate The Stooges (http://www.iggypop.com) on the release of their first album in 34 years. " The Weirdness" produced by Steve Albini was released on March 6, 2007. In the March 10, 2207 issue of Billboard Magazine , The Billboard Review says " The Stooges don't reinvent their particular sonic wheel on their first all - new album in 34 years - and that's just fine. " The Weirdness" offers more of the Iggy Pop-led band's prototypical cro-magnon raw power, with Scott Asheton's muscular drum attack propelling brother Ron's arsenal of guitar riffs. It's a tightly woven scheme whose anthemic simplicity is deceptive and leaves room for sophisticated ( but still fierce) arrangements such as the doo-wop style swing of the title track, the Bo Diddley groove n' roll of " Mexican Guy" and the jazzy dynamics of " Passing Cloud". Pop lets loose with plenty of sociopolitical beat poet commentary on tracks like " Free and Freaky",
" Greedy Awful People" and " The End of Christianity", but that will register mostly after you stop stomping and pumping your fists to the likes of " Trollin", " She Took My Money" and " I'm Fried".
