THE STOOGES / Ready To Die [2013]

Well over 40 years since their first album, The Stooges release their fifth full-length, 2013's Ready To Die with greater results than 2007's misfire The Weirdness.
While the most gnarled members of the band might be well into their sixties, The Stooges still manage to gracefully pull off primal, sleazy rock n' roll with an invincible sneer.  Apart from a few near ballads, they make no attempt to be any more than the crass group that spit Raw Power and Fun House at us many a year ago, and that should sit just fine with anyone fond of Iggy and the boys.
