All-instrumental Stooges covers ... taken to extreme measures ... with a tuba and trombone?
All agree, it's no joke:

... if you need it spelled out for you, this thing totally fucking ROCKS.
-- Doug Mosurak, Dusted (from "Still Single")

On The Ridiculous Trio "Plays The Stooges", "No Fun" becomes a completely new song of power and energy...they turn it into a sassy, joyous glam stomp.
-- Nick Southgate, The Wire (from "Remake Remodel")

Their squalling arrangements of classics by Iggy and company display impressive imagination, a goony sense of humor, and plenty of what Hagedorn calls "pimprovisation."
-- Bob Mehr, Chicago Reader

Rather than being a mere novelty, Plays The Stooges ends up paying homage to the band...while offering interesting insight from another planet.
-- babysue

No band has done more than The Ridiculous Trio to deepen my appreciation of rock as defined by The Stooges. This CD-R moves me.
-- The Kraft-o-Matic Bed o' Nails

At any rate, this is intensely awesome stuff.
-- Charles H. Peckham V, Synthesis
