The two hundred and ninety-eighth album: #298 Iggy & The Stooges - Raw Power
The screeching guitars sets up Raw Power as a metal album that does just that, featuring straight forward satisfying riffs that support Iggy Pop's vocals quite well. The depth in the album grows as you explore it further though, with Iggy's vocals changing more than you'd expect, a smooth and young sounding vocal in Search and Destroy, the first track, giving way to a more expected scream in later tracks, and a jazz-influenced sound in I Need Somebody feeling quite different, but still in tune with the rest of the album. Its a more impressive experiment than I was expecting from the album, but it felt like there was a lot to find in these eight tracks.
