5.0 out of 5 stars I was there, January 16, 2003

This album still thrills me, lo these many years later. When Iggy barks at Ron Asheton to "tell 'em how I feel!" with the heavy emphasis on the "I", Asheton reels off into one of my favorite guitar solos of all time: desperate, fuzzed-out and wah-wah heavy, spiraling and spinning until you KNOW how Iggy feels!This stuff sounds utterly spontaneous, almost as if they made it up on the spot, which is probably not far from the truth. I saw these guys right after Fun House came out, and they were the loudest, most intense dada-like band imaginable. Sonic Youth later stole their act. If you like your rock and roll primal, this one is it. Ron Asheston steals the show from the Ig.

There is a good reason why this is a bit of a mish mash compared to Fun House and Raw Power. It would probably be pretty fair to say that this album was pretty much rushed together, and after reading some stuff here and there you may discover that the initial version of the album had a few less songs, and those there were significantly longer than they ended up here. Has anyone noticed that when the songs end on this album, the song is kind of still going, they just fade out? (even in a couple songs just as a solo is starting)? Ron Asheton has said, for example, that Ann, in it's initial version, was over 8 minutes long, and here it has been cut to less than 3. I really hope those tapes still exist and we'll get to hear them some day. Anyway, the record company didn't like it (usual reasons, not commerical enough), so according to Ron, Real Cool Time, Not Right and Little Doll were written in the space of about 3 hours, rehearsed once and recorded on the first take. This isn't bad stuff though, by any means. It's just when compared to the classics (I mean Fun House, Raw Power) that followed it, it comes up a little short.

We Will Fall gets a lot of criticism, clearly because it's so inaccessible and different to the rest. If you're in the right frame of mind and prepared for what it has to offer though, I think it's great. Lie down, close your eyes and take it all in and it's damn eerie and addictive.

There's not much else to add really. A lot of these reviews are recycling the same information, but it's all true (well the good bits are).
