Instinct is the ninth studio album by American singer Iggy Pop, released in June 1988 by record label A&M.
After the heavily pop-oriented, radio-ready Blah Blah Blah, A&M expected another hit record from Pop; however, he instead recorded the heavy, hard-rocking Instinct. The album features Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones.
The album peaked at number 110 on the Billboard 200 chart. The first single from the album, "Cold Metal", charted at number 37 on Mainstream Rock Charts and earned Pop a Grammy Award nomination for Best Hard Rock/Metal performance in 1989. Videos were made for "Cold Metal" and "High on You".
The album was ranked number 69 on Kerrang!s "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" list.
The song "Cold Metal" was briefly played in the 1990 science fiction-horror film Hardware, which also featured Iggy Pop as the voice of Angry Bob, a radio DJ.
All tracks composed by Iggy Pop, except where noted.
