The idiot

"The Idiot introduced the world to a very different Iggy Pop, and if the results surprised anyone expecting a replay of the assault of Raw Power, it also made it clear that Iggy was older, wiser, and still had plenty to say; it's a flawed but powerful and emotionally absorbing work".

"The Idiot, Pop's solo debut, decisively shut the gates on his time with the Stooges. Where once he was infernal and freewheeling, he now became cool and restrained by Bowie's careful, calculated producer's hand ... The Idiot may lack fury, but it compensates with sardonic humor and perfectly tuned melodrama ...".
