As you know The Stooges final album "Raw Power" has a dubious recognition of being the best worst recorded rock album in the recorded history of mankind ever. And that is something you just can't make up.
It is mind-boggling how poorly mixed can be a thing. The album is botched thoroughly throughout upside down inside out and backwards. It really sounds like a bizarro-version of The Stooges album - lacking intensity and the punch of the previous two but in the same time being more sophisticated and having that elaborate ineffable incongruity.
And that is part of its demented charm. There are too many things haplessly buried and lost and mind is more than keen to fill the missing pieces with that overzealous ravenous imagination.
The following images are taken from PAO productions. You can read more about the comparison here. But i recommend to look at these images outside context and if possible without tying them with the respective songs. It really looks like a good old abstract expressionism like Clifford Still and Barnett Newman.
The Stooges were something to behold on so many levels i can dedicate entire book to it in a wink with a frown without breaking a sweat. They just that kind of band - there is always something severely inspiring even in a slight remark regarding some minuscule detail. Even a mere sound analysis is an endlessly fascinating thing.
