5.0 out of 5 stars Great rock and roll..., June 9, 2004

There are always die-hard, hardcore fans, who usually prefer the first offerings of an artist, and then, when commercial success ensues, write everything else off as a sell out.
Yes, this is a commercial album. Commercial meaning that it is well-written, well-conceived, well-produced. With crystal clear sound that will make your speakers pop.
I played this CD at parties when it came out, and always had people asking me what it was and where they could buy it. I'd say 8 of the 10 songs are keepers; from rockers like "Baby It Can't Fail" to a simple teenage love song like "Shades", which is almost perfect in its cadence...

You gave me a present
The paper was blue and green
I unwrapped it with pleasure
These are the best shades I've ever seen
You can be my girlfriend
Forever and a day
I never thought I was worth much
Or that anyone would treat me this way

[Chorus]
I'm not
The kind of guy
Who dresses like a king
And a really fine pair of shades
Means everything
And the light that blinds my eyes
Shines from you
It makes me come in the night
It makes me swim with delight
I like this pain
I like this mirror
I like these shades

I could have had a problem
I might have never followed through
The other guys are in trouble
They wouldn't listen to a girl like you
These shades say something
I'll bet they cost a lot
I hope I don't break 'em
I hope we don't break up

5.0 out of 5 stars Iggy Goes 80s!, January 19, 2005

This isn't a punk album, so some of Iggy's fans will be disappointed in this CD. However, it's a great 80s rock CD, featuring some of the Popster's best vocal work. Very upbeat, very electronic, very 80s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Iggy's Umpteenth Comeback Is A Great Album, July 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Blah Blah Blah (Audio CD)

So what do you do when you're an aging rock icon with a low commercial profile who hasn't made a record in a few years? Well, if that describes a certain Mr. Iggy Pop, you get one of the best albums of the 1980's, Iggy's Gold-selling collection of great tunes that still kept his old sound intact and managed to win him new fans. "Blah Blah Blah" was a surprise comeback for the Igster. It sold even more copies than 1977's "The Idiot," and featured a Top Ten radio hit with "Real Wild Child." The songs are all great, and with his old buddy David Bowie producing, it recreates the great sound and feel of Iggy's classic late 1970's solo work. A fine album all around.
