Topic: Beat em up


  
  HYBRIDMAGAZINE.COM | REVIEWS | Iggy Pop - Beat 'Em Up
Don’t be fooled by the cover of Beat ‘Em Up…it’s not as nasty on the inside as it is on the outside.
"Mask" opens it up with Iggy ripping on America’s soul-crushing corporate culture over a throbbing rhythm, asking "where is the soul…where is the love?" What comes next is a whole lot of filler…tracks that go nowhere for far too long.
GG never got any real respect because, when he wasn’t masturbating onstage or cutting himself up and bleeding all over everyone, he was macing all the people in the front row with one hand and flinging his own poop toward the folks in the back with the other.

 Metallic KO: Iggy Pop's new values   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Anyway, we could argue about it, but Beat 'Em Up is Iggy's first metal album, though there are people who would call the Stooges' albums metal, or maybe say New Values was metal.
Two of the three persons I've played it for have cracked up at some point during "L.O.S.T." -- me too, though whether I was laughing with Iggy or at him, or just from sheer nervous amazement, I couldn't tell you.
Nobody listening to the song, not even your grandmother, is gonna be too worried about the old man throwing haymakers, but you may be worried about what his new friends could do to you.

 BEAT'EM UP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Love it or hate it, Beat Em Up is inarguably one of the most appropriate titles Iggy Pop attached to an album in years; after an ill-advised detour into something resembling jazz on 1999's Avenue B, Iggy shifted gears again and served up his most physically punishing album since American Caesar in 1993.
Beat Em Up starts out promisingly enough with "Mask," a hyperinsistent three-chord blast that, with its energetic riffing and manic vocals, sounds more like a prime Stooges number than anything he's cooked up in ages.
beat 'em up was the first album i picked up and is still my favorite iggy pop stuff.

 Iggy Pop: Beat 'Em Up: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
As I recall, one of the options is always "Hard Rock." The sound of Beat 'Em Up is quintessential "Hard Rock," which means it lacks the stones to go for genuine heaviness, but is equally afraid to incorporate any hint of femininity.
In the center of Beat 'Em Up's tepid hard rock pudding is James Newell Osterberg, loudly complaining about everything under the sun.
The title of the album's 13th track sums it up nicely: "It's All Shit." His cantankerous ways would be tolerable if Iggy had anything original or interesting to say, but he can manage only cliché.

Without exception, “BEAT ‘EM UP” is the most pummeling, brilliant, thundering, just plain best record Pop has done since disbanding THE STOOGES in the mid seventies.
It has invoked in me a continuing and growing fantasy where I tie up some self important asshole like the singer in CREED and make him listen to it for a few days while I flash pictures of what he will look like as a fat, bald has been Rock star on tour in amphitheaters.
No that isn’t the end of the disc, there is in fact a hidden final track that I would guess is called “Sterility” and its minimal crunch is perfect for prepping the listener for the restart of the disc.

 Iggy Pop: Beat 'Em Up (2001): Reviews
'Beat 'Em Up' is not shit but ain't exactly loveable either.
However, it does confirm that Iggy Pop can still kick up a fuss with the best of them even if the end result isn't as legendary as the man who produced it.
Finding Iggy as confused as ever, Beat 'Em up ranks alongside New Values and Blah, Blah, Blah as yet another missed opportunity.

This is the work of a 20-year-old --nobody does this at 55, or however old Iggy is. I don't know why this surprises me- Iggy has enough to be angry at, but BEAT `EM UP is really raw.
BEAT `EM UP it seems like the next Stooges album - like something out of the early 70's.

 Emuforums.com - The best Beat'em up game ever .
Perhaps just semantics, but I always thought a "beat 'em up" game was more like a Double Dragon, Final Fight, or Streets of Rage type game.
I said that the sidescrollers like Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Streets of Rage are called "beat 'em up" and that the games here on this poll are usually just called "fighting" games.
I agree with Rhombus and Kaiser Sigma, "beat'em up" is the name for those one-on-many fighting games, traditionally side-scrolling, but not necessarily (there are 3D beat'em ups that are definitely the same genre).

 Fort Worth Weekly Online -- fwweekly.com | Music | Iggy Pop
A self-pitying Iggy was something we'd never seen before, and it's something his fans obviously didn't want, as most of the reviews for that album demonstrated.
No, what we want when it comes to this rock legend is anger and stoopidity -- the stoopider the better -- and, thankfully, Beat 'Em Up delivers both in spades.
"It's All Shit," unfortunately, drifts away from stoopidity into just plain stupidity ("If it looks like shit and smells like shit..."), but Iggy more than makes up for it elsewhere via couplets like "Weasels suck and weasels blow/Weasels got your rock 'n' roll." Perhaps his best album since those late '70s records with Bowie.

 Hear/Say: America's College Music Magazine - Reviews - Albums - Iggy Pop: Beat 'Em Up   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Salient to a variety of rockers from the Sex Pistols and the Ramones to Danzig and Metallica, Iggy Pop is back with Beat 'Em Up, a high-strung apology for most of his releases in the 1990s.
Highlights here are many, from the snarling "Mask" to Iggy's channeling of Jim Morrison during "The Jerk." He gives a nod to his previous work with David Bowie via "Weasels" and "Drink New Blood," the latter turning up the intensity gauge another notch.
Why this tune wasn't given a name and made the leadoff cut of Beat 'Em Up is beyond me.

 * Dusted Reviews - Weird War *
So is If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Bite 'Em a rousing call to work for a brighter future or a celebration of never-ending parties, shady behavior, and any and all forms of retro self-indulgence?
But if they’re not self-consciously bringing R&B back up through the underground, the members of Weird War are at least trying to do this in a way that injects something new into the mix — namely, an ideological edge that sharpens the corners of both the words and the music.
Yes, it’s certainly possible, but If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Bite ‘Em avoids most of these problems because nobody takes the album too seriously.

Feb 15 2005, 03:06 PM yeah i think in a beat em up game, Tomas would just own everyone, so maybe he should be the final fight or something?
Obviously then not everyone would get to be the characters they wanted, but there would be thousands of players on at a time and you could be different races from the world, train up, then launch attacks against other players etc. make allies or armies and even start wars.
I don't know enough about AI and it's progress up till now to even know if what I would propose is possible.

I feel like the title says it all, but let me reiterate this: Microsoft has seriously fucked up.
There are a number of issues here but first and foremost it is such utter shit to be releasing two different versions of the console at launch, especially when we had been promised features that are not present in one of them.
