Where this album fits

Career context
Released in 2007, 'The Weirdness' marked The Stooges' first studio album in over 30 years, following their split after 1973's 'Raw Power'. This return came during a renewed interest in punk rock and saw Iggy Pop and the band reconnecting with their roots while also facing the challenges of modern music.
