"What it conveyed to me with its rational acidity of abused and mistreated pedals by a prose similar to a curse is simply too intimate, personal." "A rare example of how sound, the impure one, the non-virgin one, can be the perfect bonding agent with the words of a wise and irrational master."

The vocal line emerges right away from its personal catacomb in 'Sister Midnight,' and you already begin to understand that what he is singing is Iggy Pop, not his image, just him. 'Mass Production' is a painfully slow ballad celebrating unconscious self-destruction, a journey mortally wounded.
