One Of Iggy's Most Underatted Albums.May 08, 2002
By "The Woj"
This ablum is as close Iggy has ever come to "heavy metal".
For the price it is well worth the money. It simply rocks harder than anything Iggy has done since the 70's. Several tracks are co-written with former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and actually sound like Jone's most current band, Neurotic Outsiders, with Iggy on vocals.
A welcome addition to any Iggy collection.

 Iggy Pop comes back strong and shows his hard rock roots!Aug 02, 1998
In 88 when this rocker came out I was led to believe that Iggy had gone metal. I was lied too. I was also led to believe Iggy had sold out and gone mersh. I was lied too again. I was led to believe that Iggy didn't have "it" any more. Would you believe I was lied to again? Thw one thing I do believe is that those fools never really listened to Instinct. I have been an Iggy Pop fan for 15 years and Instinct is some of his greatest later solo work. Joining Iggy is ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones on guitar and a back up band of unheard of's. Strong tracks: Cold Metal, Title Track, High on you.

A real find if you don't own itApr 29, 2004
By Max R. Tomlinson
Iggy Pop and Steve Jones on the same album? Laying down some tasty tracks with Iggy's booming voice and Steve's Pistolesque riffs chunking away? Have we died and gone to heaven? No, it's just a real find if you don't own it yet. One of Iggy's best and a terrific effort by Jones. Gets better every time I hear it.

One of rocks most underated recordingsOct 12, 2000
By Shan Ziel
I have taken this CD to parties and people who are in the AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and Metallica are the only bands that rule and everyone else sux camp actually love this CD.I even had one AC/DC freak offer me $50 bucks for it. If he would have had the $50 I would have sold and hunted up another copy. No offense to AC/DC fans as I think everyone should own three AC/DC recordings. Instinct was less punk than I expected. A bit popish but certainly not wimp rockish. Some of the lyrical content is laughable like "Save a tree--Save a tree--Save a tree." This is part of the recording's charm. I do not understand why recordings of this quality do not go mega platinum. Perhaps Marilyn Manson is correct in his bellowing that rock is dead.

Yeah, At Least It Rocks . . .May 06, 2003
This is a very underrated album by the Iguana who recovered himself after the great deal of stupidities committed in his previous album (the all-time infamous "Blah, blah, blah") I don't consider this music to be heavy metal at all. From my point of view is just great rock 'n' roll performed with soul and conviction, that's all. Iggy was just trying to survive, making his way in a music world ruled by blockbuster nerds such as Phil Collins or Michael Jackson. Above all, it was a reaction against the commercial concessions made in the aforementioned album. Maybe "Instinct" is not a masterpiece but it's a must for the fans of Iggy's solo career, as a matter of fact, it was his most aggressive and boisterous album since "Raw Power", enough said. Play it loud and enjoy...
