Iggy's solo career has been a patchy one, starting with the one-two punch of The Idiot and Lust For Life and then wandering all over the musical landscape for the following 40 years, eventually culminating in a Stooges reunion and now, this final album, being hailed as his finest since 1977's Lust For Life.
