First day verdict 7 out of 10 - considering it's a new/old Stones tune, glad to have it...glad to have anything "new"...
I like Criss Cross much more.
___________________________________________________
Is the 7" single available on it's own, or is the only way to get it is to purchase this bundle?
Haven't had a chance to look around there much, but haven't seen the single alone yet, and that's all I would really want.
If it can only be had via the bundle, what a scam....

What a difference a week makes...
A shame the analyzing it led to such negative revision.
Still glad to have it here... more than Criss Cross.
Think the cream of the crop is still coming though

Interesting that you're keeping track of my posts, my thoughts, and my opinions...flattering, albeit creepy and trollish. However, you failed to notice on the very same day I gave it a 7 out of 10 (based on first listen/impression due to excitement) after six or seven more listens, it immediately dropped down to a "5 at best" on my scale - the very same day! That's how fast I lost interest as it just wasn't doing anything for me.
Since then it's gone down even further - maybe a 3 best, and even if the 7" single was available on it's own, wouldn't be wasting the money - even for collection purposes as it's already on the double cd and double vinyl.
Makes me cherish the superior Criss Cross even more, and while Criss Cross is a clear winner in my book, Scarlet is the clear loser...as the saying goes you can't win 'em all.
Looking forward to what's next...maybe...considering it's their 3rd pick to promote album, not holding my breath with too much excitement...

Not sure retired_dog - stay tuned and I'll be sure to keep you updated!
I have a feeling it will be sinking lower as the hours and days pass by, but am hopeful it will stay at a solid 3.
Meanwhile, looking forward to the next barrel scrapings so we can rate, dissect, reevaluate, reappraise, revise, and ultimately give a final judgement when the dust has settled.
If it weren't for members like me discussing and dissecting, this thread would have been dead several days ago.

You owe me a new keyboard for that nonsense as I just spewed my morning coffee all over this one
It's been an ongoing conversation, son.
That you don't like your own words used to illustrate your hypocrisy and negativity is no surprise. Comical, but not surprising.

Due to its self-appointed nature a rather dubious honour, but an honour nonetheless!

(Not again...please don't call me "son".... )
Who said anything about not liking my own words? I stand by everything I've ever written on this site...
...But for the sake of positivity, one need go back no further than to Ghost Town and Criss Cross to read the heaps of praise I laid on both of them, and continue to do so to this day! Best two original songs from the Stones in decades....
....Unfortunately Criss Cross doesn't fit in that category for me for a variety of reasons, and no matter how much I tried to like it the first day or so (and even beyond), it seems to have had the opposite effect - instead of growing on me it sort of just whimpered along hopelessly. After a week or so my verdict: overhyped, un-Stonesy, and anticlimactic ....

I'll keep writing and contributing thoughts and opinions, while you keep sniffing out those dastardly "Mick - haters".

Once you accept that much here are thoughts and opinions then just have fun with that. What keeps me coming back are the historical facts and information and knowledge many of the people have on the forum. If you learn something about your favorite band the rolling stones then that's a good thing and not a waste of time.
So Hairball keep on posting its better then to fade away
I would rather just now visit the site and read then contribute because I have nothing really to say anymore about the songs and history of the rolling stones. I just do not want to keep saying the same stuff over and over again somehow differently or from another angle or perspective.

The guy that calls people "creepy and trollish" for citing his recent posts does not like being called "son".
Duly noted, son.
