Iggy Pop delivered a solid one-two punch (for the first time in a while) with Brick by Brick and American Caesar in 19, but after ten years and three major duds in a row (the uninspired Naughty Little Doggie and the strikingly faulty Avenue B and Beat 'Em Up), you just had to wonder if maybe the World's Forgotten Boy had finally lost the magic touch for good. One of the key rules of rock & roll is there are some artists you can never count out - no matter how many lame records they may make, no matter how misguided their career direction might seem, they always hold the promise that they'll jump back in the loop and deliver the goods again.
