| Iggy Pop - Zombie Birdhouse Band: Iggy Pop Tracks: - Run Like a Villain - Villagers - Angry Hills - Life of Work - Ballad of Cookie Mcbride - Ordinary Bummer - Eat or Be Eaten - Bulldozer - Platonic - Horse Song - Watching the News - Street Crazies - Pain and Suffering Iggy's best failure Despite "Zombie Birdhouse" is not precisely Iggy's best work, it is one of his most weird, eccentric and curious releases in his solo career. Maybe it's not perfect but it's an album that grows on you and showed that Iggy was an Artist with great creativity who shifted easily from one musical style to another. Unfortunately, the album is too confusing and ambitious and becomes a bit monotonous after the first three songs. The lyrics are also slightly uninspired and do not add too much to this particular release. Buy it only if you are an Iggy's die-hard fan, if not, you probably won't find anything of interest in this bizarre experiment. Classic Iggy, Weird n' Rockin'!!!! Before I'd heard this, I only knew the biggies like Lust For Life, Idiot etc. along with The Stooges stuff. Zombie Birdhouse is a great little slice of Iggy that anyone with a liking for the music of Detroits misunderstood son should invest in. Theres always lots of Talk about how Iggy was too experimental in the 80's, but if you don't like experimental, what the hell are you doing buying Iggy Pop's music??? Many of the tracks are pretty straight forward rockers with nice n'quirky lyrics, But theres also some good off the wall stuff like 'Watching the News' and 'Pain and Suffering'. On first listening, don't give up on this album. Its a must......for any fan of the man! Regarding the track 'The Ballad Of Cookie McBride': Who says this guy doesn't have a sense of humour! Iggy is a goof Only Iggy could try to write such silly lyrics and accompany them with mature 80's poppy rock music. Zombie Birdhouse is rather awkwardly arranged and produced. A lot of Iggy's material is like that, but it seems so much more apparent on this album. The album is good and I listen to it more than you might think. The first three songs are absolute classics and it's suprising that "The Horse Song" wasn't a hit. This album doesn't sound a lot like Iggy's style, but songs like "The Ballad of Cookie McBride" and "Eat or Be Eaten" show that he has just as much charisma as The Stooges did. Zombie Birdhouse is an odd album. Buy it...I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
