Review by AMG's Mark Deming:
In 1976, the Stooges had been gone for two years, and Iggy Pop had developed a notorious reputation as one of
rock & roll's most spectacular waste cases. After a self-imposed stay in a mental hospital, a significantly more
functional Iggy was desperate to prove he could hold down a career in music, and he was given another chance
by his longtime ally, David Bowie. Bowie co-wrote a batch of new songs with Iggy, put together a band, and
produced The Idiot, which took Iggy in a new direction decidedly different from the guitar-fueled proto-punk of
the Stooges. Musically, The Idiot is of a piece with the impressionistic music of Bowie's "Berlin Period" (such as
Heroes and Low), with it's fragmented guitar figures, ominous bass lines, and discordant, high-relief keyboard parts.
Iggy's new music was cerebral and inward-looking, where his early work had been a glorious call to the id, and Iggy
was in more subdued form than with the Stooges, with his voice sinking into a world-weary baritone that was a
decided contrast to the harsh, defiant cry heard on "Search and Destroy." Iggy was exploring new territory as a
lyricist, and his songs on The Idiot are self-referential and poetic in a way that his work had rarely been in the past; for the most part the results are impressive, especially "Dum Dum Boys," a paean to the glory days of his former band, and "Nightclubbing," a call to the joys of decadence. The Idiot introduced the world to a very different Iggy Pop, and if the results surprised anyone expecting a replay of the assault of Raw Power, it also made it clear that Iggy was older, wiser, and still had plenty to say; it's a flawed but powerful and emotionally absorbing work.
