Been thinking about people's general perception of the later stones years.
The albums (post 90 - SW) and why they wasnt as well received.
Do you think the massive leap in technology has not helped?. The rawer less polished natural feel of earlier albums which were liked.
I know Jagger been the techno freak he is would have found it irresistible to use better mixing..sound..recording...sampling (the big one) to change the overall sound as we know today?.
I like most of thier work unconditionally and it dont give excuses for tour after tour with the warhorses. But for example stripped was a bit different and better received as it was different although cleaned up.
I just wonder if an album had been made with some of these factors in mind whether it would have been more acclaimed. Some songs are bad on most albums..thats always going to be the case.
The latest two which are good are heavy in technology..

A very good point Silver Dagger about the songwriting. Yes the better work was with those factors in mind...Close proximity living..sharing the same general day to day experiences...

Nothing is to blame except that some of people just like to whine, bitch and complain, especially about things which they are overly familiar with, as the saying goes (for some).... familiarity breeds contempt
And if anyone feels that statement is about them, that is on them.
No, sorry, you have been way too un-negative lately.Quote

I actually think that the 'availability' of tracks, as in 8, 16, 24, 36 track recording studios (and I do not profess to know what was/is the number really!!!) meant The Stones felt the need to 'fill up' all available 'space' in a song. So much so that the songs since mid to late 70s just sound and feel too cluttered.
Compare the audible space in JJF or Tumbling Dice with the 'clutter' of, actually, my fave song if theirs SINCE the early 70's, It Won't Take Long. I LOVE THAT SONG, IT'S JUST TOO FULL!
Add to that the horribly compressed and LOUD production of IWTLong, and it sounds awful, ALMOST ruining the song...ALMOST!

But see.... unlike most, with me familarity breeds liking more,
because I (try to) only pay attention to things and people I like.
When I dont like something, I move on, I do not stick around
blathering on and on and on and on about how much I dont like it,
I dont spend much time trying to understand whats to balme for not
liking it or trying to determine when I stopped liking it or figuring
out when EXACTLY it started going down hill, and I certainly do not
spend any time looking at a microscope over analyzing it.... I find that way too anal.
