I agree "Suck on the Jugular" is far superior. As Bard (I believe) pointed out to me years ago, the bridge on "Back to Zero" is the same bridge he used on the title track to SHE'S THE BOSS.
Calling Bill Wyman a halftime member will likely earn you death threats. You're among people who believe Stu was a fully-functioning member of the band for nearly 25 years because of Keith's public remarks since his death.
"The great, great DIRTY WORK album?" Wow, I like about half the album and still think it's weak.

if the beatles had released winning ugly in 1964 the beatlemania brigade would have lapped it up as a great song. because there are folk who cant be objective as they let bias get in the way. no one ever criticises a beatles song, its just not allowed.
theres nothing like perception.
if someone tries to like certain songs they may just convince themselves, i tried to like dirtywork, and put a lot of effort in, but i gave up, and will never stick up for anything on the album.

I would REALLY like to hear someone to make a good cover version of this. And Winning Ugly, too. To show me I've just been stupid all these years and haven't heard the brilliance that lies deep down in the core of these songs.
And while we're at it, the same for Sweet Neocon and Infamy, please.

Almost as good as "Gomper".

The boys had done some incredible songs with social commentary/message before. But the lyrics, music, vocal delivery on this were just a very very weak effort - a throwaway song. Recently married, and with my very first CD player, my wife surprised me with the brand new CD the day it was released. I fell in love the CD player technology that I could instantly skip to the next song as I listened to this album. Back To Zero was an instant skip (and the CD became the first disc or vinyl I ever sold - thrilled to get $1 for it). Was Keef out of it during these sessions? Was Mick trying way too hard to sound 80s?
