Beat Em Up is an amazing collection of aggressive hard rocking, thrashing gems. This is the best Iggy has ever sounded since Raw Power. This is the true follow up to Raw Power. The sound is part punk, part hardcore, part rock, but all IGGY. Not only did Iggy inspire and influence bands such as the Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Black Flag, Green Day, and Marilyn Manson but on Beat Em Up he outshines all of his proteges in a big way. Beat Em Up is loud, nasty, vulgar, and it has strong melodies, catchy hooks and buzz saw guitar riffs that make it a classic for a new era of young punks and dirtbags. I played this CD at my wedding. I want it played at my funeral. And if I could have, I would have wanted it blasted during my birth. Best cuts: Death is Certain, Ugliness, Drink New Blood, LOST, Jerk, and Talking Snake.
