Music reviews of Search & Destroy

Music Review: Awesome Renditions of the Stooges' Material
Rating: 4 Stars

When I bought this the record store clerk warned me away from it, saying that the quality was unlistenably poor and that I'd better get "Raw Power" instead. As an ardent Stooges fan (who already had "Raw Power" anyway), I didn't let this stop me, but I was a bit nervous when I got home and put the CD in.
Happily, there was no reason for this. "Search and Destroy" is a collection of some truly fabulous material, and I've grown to love it more than any of my other Stooges CDs. The first track, "Search and Destroy", is in my opinion, a far better rendition of the song than the "Raw Power" cut, and from there on out it's all just as fabulous. Iggy's feral baritone growl twists around the Stooges' instrumentals perfectly, and Ron Asheton's guitar work on this CD is amazing - not for technical proficiency, but for sheer brutality and power of execution. Give it a few spins and you'll start feeling like a leather-clad, glitter-smeared rock god. You might even be compelled to do some backbends.
The only reason I give this CD four stars instead of five is that I think you need to already know the songs intimately to be able to listen past the very poor sound quality, And that's sad, because it means that this album is unshareable - i.e. you can't introduce someone to the band with this, some of the best of their material (unless, of course, they're a lo-fi fan *shudder*). It breaks my heart that all this wonderful noise was recorded on such dreadful equipment, because if the masters for this were in good condition, you'd have the #1 Stooges album of all time.
