Hard pass on this contrarian review. If you don't like it fine, but it's possible to be a fan of both Berlin-era Bowie (Low in particular is an all-time for me) and Iggy at the same time. I love that album, but part of it is admittedly tied to when I first heard it and it's personal, etc. Still, how the fuck can you not like that record?
