Notes
Fun House sounds like an extended, guttural war cry from deep within the psyche. While the Stooges’ excellent debut, produced by John Cale, had a clean, punchy sound that introduced the band’s ragged, stripped-down rock, it did not capture the chaotic fury of the band’s live spirit. The Stooges hired Don Gallucci (formerly of the Kingsmen) to produce Fun House, and he gave the album a murky, swampy ambience along with immediacy and a staggering sonic punch in the gut. Where The Stooges can sound like bratty teenaged music, this album sounds grown up, menacing, mercurial, dark and relentlessly primal.
