About this album

Instinct is one of Iggy Pop’s most hard-edged late-1980s solo albums, putting his raw persona back into a leaner heavy-rock setting. Released in 1988, it marked a deliberate return to louder guitar attack after the more polished pop of his mid-decade work, with songs like Cold Metal and High On You underlining its tougher, more confrontational mood. The album’s stripped-down intensity and unapologetic swagger helped reassert Pop as a vital rock frontman rather than a former punk icon trading on past glory. It remains a cult favourite among listeners drawn to his roughest, most direct studio work.
