The Stooges - Fun House

Chaotic, feral, and downright electric, Fun House is The Stooges at their most unhinged—and we mean that as a high compliment. Originally released in 1970 and now reissued on rich 180-gram vinyl, this is the album where Iggy Pop and company stopped playing nice and started breathing fire.

From the moment “Down on the Street” kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. Ron Asheton’s guitar growls like it’s possessed, while brother Scott’s drumming pummels everything in its path. “Loose” and “TV Eye” bring a dangerous kind of swagger, but it’s the title track and the free-jazz freakout “L.A. Blues” that tip this record from rock album to full-blown sonic exorcism.

This 180-gram pressing brings out the gritty textures and brutal beauty of every track, capturing the manic energy that made Fun House such a watershed moment for proto-punk. The saxophone squalls from Steve Mackay? Still gloriously jarring.

Forget polished production—Fun House is raw, real, and louder than your neighbors would prefer. It’s a sweaty, snarling masterpiece that pushed the boundaries of rock into the red. Drop the needle and let it shake the walls.
