The Stones justified the length of the record at the time by saying they tacked a few extra songs on at the end as they hadnt done an album in five years. Kind of a 'value for money' thing, I suppose.

Some other bands were doing that as well, putting as much music on a CD as possible. Soundgarden, for one, is a band that made rather long albums. Superunknown is just over 70 minutes.

seemed to be something of a trend in the first decade or so of the 80-minute CD era.

Resulted in longer gaps between releases and albums with more filler than before.

Seems to gave reversed in recent years from what I can see, with 40-50 minute albums becoming more common again.

Look at it this way: The editing would have been much better with some songs!

Pearl Jam's newest LP Backspacer is 36 minutes long! Although some of their other LPs are longer they've pretty much stuck with how long a proper LP is/should be...less than 60 minutes.

Hey yeah remember those early Al green albums on HI .... a lotta them ran around the 30min mark in total ....

An EP was enough for me

This is The ONE: I really wanted YGMR to be a B-side a la Acquiesce, So Young, Stay Young and Strawberry Fields Forever. This is a better pick IMHO. I Go Wild is PERFECT as the last one since it's all what The Stones are about. BBR is a GREAT ballad which handles a a different subject than love, which is only refreshing. It's about the everyday life of a lot of people on our earth. Love it just like Sweet Neo-Con.

Rule No 1. A Rolling Stones album is never too long or have too many songs! If an album should be edited it must be added with more songs and not the opposite.

2 1 2 0

I would guess that the majority of folks posting in this thread also own the four non-LP B-sides from VOODOO LOUNGE for the sake of being completists. It strikes me as odd that we would then wish that several tracks on the album had been relegated to non-LP B-side status when we would only end up collecting them anyway. Me, I prefer my 19-track CDR of VOODOO LOUNGE to the official release for that very reason.

Oh yeah, I'd edit out the "Crockett at the Alamo" line from "Mean Disposition," too. That and that offensive line in "Sparks Will Fly" - (I mean "sharks will cry," not "I wanna @#$%& your sweet ass.") Shorten the album by those few seconds and I would enjoy it much more.

Lengthen the album with the four B-sides and you'd really be talking. While you're at it, replace the album version of "I Go Wild" with Scott Litt's remix and you're doing even better.

Have you been drinking?

Y'all are crazy. I must be from a weird point in time generation, but to me, Voodoo was by far the best Stones album since Exile and Bridges only topped it. I wouldn't take any song off of either one. I think they are the second Stones golden age. I still listen to both of them start to finish. They are well written, well developed, and well played. How can you get rid of 'Brand New Car'? That's some of Mick's sleaziest singing and Keith's more original lead work. Keith with a wah don't happen every day.

Agreed, nonfilter.

I think the problem is not the length, but it´s the production. It´s too clean.

You can´t leave out Thru and Thru!

Best song on the entire album.

Very pleasant memories of being in the crowd that night at Madison Square Garden in September 2002 when they finally debuted it - and Keith absolutely nailed it.

Absolutely agree Gaz. This was the sound of the Stones - or at least Keith - pushing the envelope out to the edge.The Voodoo Stew outtake is even edgier...it ventures into and way past the sonic terrain of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois...right into the spooked out twilight zone and out there where the buses don't go. Try listening to this one all alone in the wee small hours. You'll get goosebumps.

...I'm 're-living' the Sopranos, these days... mostly in these wee small hours, indeed. In the last episode of the 2nd season, Thru and thru is featured prominently - it runs for (almost) the full length, accompanying the last (dialogue-free) scenes of that series. When the band hits in, the title credits roll... Goosebumps, yes indeedie.
