My question is more directed at acclaim or merit from the industry for A Bigger Bang? Do we expect to see industry critics pan or bomb the Bang at annual awards?

I'm still just catastrophically blown away by the material on this album laid down by a collection of gents that are granddads by most anyone's standards and that this body of work (ie: ONNYA, RJ, LIND & SSMC) really possesses some great tunes not seen since the Tatoo You days.

Amazed that Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ron (don't forget Chuck) can still get it done on a level that in this fan's opinion is still running hard and whipping most everyone's ass in the game. I would be interested in knowing folks opinion regarding ABB's potential for garnering critical accliam, cheers!

i thinks its just a bloody good collection of songs...a far better album than i expected..i think laugh i nearly died should get an award...but this is there best work for years..voodoo lounge i loved..abiggerbang even better...well done me boys
