there are some people that will like anything the stones do,or at least pretend that they do-i'm not one of them.
if this actually is the title,cover and record they're putting out they should be ashamed of themselves.
1.the title is idiotic,lazy,doesnt sound right and is just plain stupid.
2.there should be no "50 licks" its a rip-off and an insult to the fans who have stuck with them.if they have a couple of new songs that will just make it worse.micks lame mid-tempo rocker from last time was just half hearted and horrible only to be outdone by keiths latest sleeping pill replacement of a "ballad".
3.are we not supposed to notice they made one friggin record since "40 licks"?
and that one record bombed.
4.the cover sucks-its one of those "renowned artists " right? oh,i like it then.get real,this is like one of those guys that smear shit on a canvas and tell us its art.a child couldve drawn this thing.
i never thought i'd say this but-if this is all you got you're just not trying anymore guys,go home to your families and live out the rest of your years in retirement.

Good one, Max. There is a "White Album" and "Banana Album". Now we have "Gorilla album"... damn, I can't stop laughing. This is so absurd (in a positive way). Can't recall when the Stones have made me laugh so much!>:D<

At the record store:
- "Hmm... may I have one copy of that... hmmm.. grrrr"
- "Sorry, could you please repeat; I couldn't quite catch the title..."
- "GRRRRR"
- "Excuse me, sir, but are you alright?" [[b]and waves the security man][/b]

Embarrassing, really. I'm looking at it and can't still get over it. Horrible cover and title. The title is probably the worst.
I can't believe how hard it can be to design a just decent looking album? That gorilla with lips & tongue is heinous. Abuse on their own discography. I can't decide which cover is worse of Dirty Work and this ape shit one.

I thought both Charlie and Mick were fairly artistic. To reproduce Mighty Joe Young, an inferior King Kong, suggests they were not behind this shabby greatest hits compilation, or that their input was minimal.
What concerns me is that none of the stonesarchive concerts were/are reissued on CD, whereas long-term fans would have been a lot more appreciative if this were the case. I am almost playing the Some Girls Live In Texas CD from the DVD set to death, and would love the archive live concerts to be reissued on CD too.
I think a new album would be great: if Dylan can do it, with Tempest, why not the Stones, or is it that, logistically, it is an impossibility? They must feel some sense of a competitive spirit, even now. Paul McCartney has an excellent archive series going on, i.e. McCartney, Ram, Band On The Run, and we are informed that Wings Over America is forthcoming. The Allmans have an excellent archive series of their concerts, even if some of the early 70s live albums sound bootleg quality.
I would gladly feel that new live concerts are not the way forward, and that a comprehensive, not sporadic, reissue program coupled with archive concerts, would be the best way to celebrate the Stones.
UMG could also issue deluxe 2cd sets of Sticky Fingers with a 1971 concert, such as Leeds Lungs, Goats Head Soup with some 1973 highlights from concerts, Tattoo You with a 2cd bonus of a 1981/82 concert.
We shouldn't be fed thin gruel, but that's what Mick and Keith are determined to do. It makes me sad, sad, sad.
