The likes and dislikes have been discussed in another thread the last couple of days, and it seems to be a tie between those who likes the album and those who don't. It's also obvious that we like different songs. I'd love to see if we can make a 10 song album out of it, and see if there are songs we all agree on.

Here's the album, with the extras on the deluxe release. So here we go, chose your ten favourite songs and make it your favourite A bigger bang edition, the way you would have released it if it was up to you.

1.Rough Justice
2.Let Me Down Slow
3.It Won't Take Long
4.Rain Fall Down
5.Streets Of Love
6.Back Of My Hand
7.She Saw Me Coming
8.Biggest Mistake
9.This Place Is Empty
10.Oh No! Not You Again
11.Dangerous Beauty
12.Laugh? I Nearly Died
13.Sweet Neo-Con
14.Look What The Cat Dragged In
15.Driving Too Fast
16.Infamy
17.Under The Radar
18.Don't Wanna Go Home


This would be my choice:
1.Rough Justice
2.Let Me Down Slow
3.It Won't Take Long
4.Rain Fall Down
5.Streets Of Love
6.Infamy
7.She Saw Me Coming
8.Biggest Mistake
9.This Place Is Empty
10.Oh No! Not You Again

Rough Justice
Let Me Down Slow
It Won't Take Long
Back Of My Hand
Under The Radar
Biggest Mistake
Dangerous Beauty
Laugh I Nearly Died
This Place Is Empty
Oh No Not You Again

Under The Radar

Great fans, who leave Laugh I Nearly Died off. Ridiculous.

I'm one of the critics of this album, but the thing is if it's an official release, I want it. My BIGGER BANG is 19 tracks adding in Under the Radar, Don't Wanna Go Home, and Hurricane. I do think that like GODDESS IN THE DOORWAY, the album would have been stronger if sequenced differently.

Please Stones management, do not believe those who want shorter albums. Please continue to release all songs finished during the next album's sessions. Thank you.

I almost compiled a 12 track ABB mix on the other thread.

1)Rough Justice
2)Let Me Down Slow
3)It Won't Take Long (sounds a bit like a re-write of the Wallflowers "See You When I Get There" from 2002, therefore this one would have to go if it ought to be an 11 track album)
4)Back Of My Hand
5)She Saw Me Coming
6)Biggest Mistake (long mix)
7)Dangerous Beauty
8)Laugh? I Nearly Died
9)Driving Too Fast
10)Infamy
11)Under The Radar
12)Don't Wanna Go Home (long mix)

That Chinese pressing is scary.

I tried to do it back in 2007 and I came with a 5-songs EP...

Rough Justice
Back Of My Hand
Oh No! Not You Again
Dangerous Beauty
Infamy

Infamy instead of She Saw Me Coming?

I would not take any tracks off bigger bang cd as all us would go out and buy bootleg cd with the tracks not on the cd.You can programe your cd for the tracks yo don't like.ITS ONLY ROCK-ROLL BUT WE LIKE IT.

Those are not two totally different ideas, bill, which is why we get threads like these where we posit how some post-DW (1986-present) cd could have been better focused if staying around 40-45 min. The world would have gotten a more impactful collection of 10+ songs on the cd, and the 5+ leftovers would be released as b-sides on a maxi-single/ep without 'diluting' the effect of the best ones. The problem with ABB for me was that it was probably the least ammount of attention ever given to their songs' intros/outros/breaks in their entire career. At over 64 minutes, it was way too long and didn't even include one of the sessions' best works, Under The Radar.

I'll make it a 7" :

Side A: Under The Radar
Side B: She Saw Me Coming

01. Rough Justice
02. Look What The Cat Dragged In
03. Back Of My Hand
04. Rain Fall Down
05. This Place Is Empty
06. Oh No! Not You Again
07. Biggest Mistake
08. Dangerous Beauty
09. Laugh, I Nearly Died
10. Driving Too Fast

After waiting 8 years, whats the point of releasing an album with ten songs?

Albums that length are OK if you're putting out records every year or so. They had enough decent songs to justify putting out a longer record.



It Wont Take Long
Let Me Down Slow
Rain Fall Down
Driving Too Fast
This Place Is Empty

Under The Radar
Look What The Cat Dragged In
Dangerous Beauty
Biggest Mistake
Laugh I Nearly Died

Only 3 of the 18 songs are utter clunkers - Streets of Love, Infamy (both of which were actually OK when played live) and the excreable Sweet Neo Con.

Rough Justice and ONNYA get the hook because of the juvenile lyrics.

Under the Radar
She Saw Me Coming
It Won't Take Long
Laugh, I Nearly Died
Biggest Mistake
Back of My Hand
Dangerous Beauty
Driving Too Fast
Rain Fall Down
Let Me Down Slow
