On it's own, Doom And Gloom isn't a bad song but despite having the ingredients (harp, organ, guitars, drums, defiant vocals) which has helped define the Stones sound it sounds nothing like anything they've done before. And that necessarily isn't a good thing.

I don't know, because I wasn't there, but Fool to Cry or Emotional Rescue or even Miss You had to come as a shock to some. The last one became pretty popular, so I'm told. But they are all cannon now.

I just listened to the last three Stones singles=PMS, NSP and now Doom. All I can say is that Doom combined with ABB and the four 2002 tracks show that, for better or worse, the band has attempted to redefine their sound for the digital age. There is a mechanical sound to all their 2000's material, that reflects the Pro Tools era.
Although they've stripped down their sound to an almost garage-rock aesthetic, that attempt is undercut by them relying too much on technology in the recording and mixing process (not helped at all by the ridiculous "brickwalling" labels use nowadays). Despite their sparse output in the 21st century, the 2000's Stones have a distinctly different sound than the 20th century model. "Doom And Gloom" is the apex of this so far, particularly the lyric version.
I don't think you can say that if you've heard the i tunes version which kicks ass on a kick ass dance tune from them that we haven't had in a very ....very....long time...I like it yes I do.
The sad part is that Mick didn't really have to go so far to redefine the essence of the band's sound. The qualities and subtleties which made Plundered as well as No Spare Parts Stones songs are still appreciated by music fans and bands. Doom And Gloom is like Mick's "One Last Shot" at a hit and he's tried so hard to make it that, and the band sound current, that he's lost the simple ingredients that makes a Stones song. Which is that subtle interplay between the various instruments, the slightly off-beat rhythm and the rich sound of the instruments in the mix as well as groove. None of those things are present in Doom And Gloom, it's dance song you can't dance to! And for the most part, that applies to the Stones recorded 21st century output.
On it's own, Doom And Gloom isn't a bad song but despite having the ingredients (harp, organ, guitars, drums, defiant vocals) which has helped define the Stones sound it sounds nothing like anything they've done before. And that necessarily isn't a good thing.

Greetings, Time Traveler from 1974! We regret to inform you that such extravagance might be bad for business in 2012, as today's mass market music consumer has no patience for such nonsense.
P.S. Mick Taylor quits the band. Yeah, like, as soon as you get back. No, I'm not joking.

Was the 'radio' mix actually different than the track on itunes?

MrMonte, the iTunes version is The Rolling Stones. Charlie is Charlie on the iTunes version.
The youtube version is not...the Stones.
Then how in hell do I get to hear the Itunes version? I don't use I-Tunes. The more I listen to the Youtube one the more I despise it, but I am willing to hear the alternate version that everyone commends.

IMPORTANT!
Please do NOT use IORR to distribute links to illegal download addresses for "Doom And Gloom". It is an official track and you are supposed to buy it, not distribute illegal links here. If you do not respect that simple rule - has been here on IORR for years - then I must close the posting access to the person who abuse their privileges here.
I have deleted and edited some 30 illegal links here this afternoon, I am not spending more time on that now. I will start deleting the source of the posts. The posting access.
And in case you disagree. The option would be I close down IORR. This is up to you. To respect the rules of IORR.

The song initially caught my attention but soon sounded like nothing fresh or different; the sound to me,is reminiscent of the ABB album.. I know I am not one of the appointed experts on the subject here,if I want it as part of my collection, I'll record it off "you tube" into Adobe Audition.Way too much hype for one song which after played several times will fade into obscurity.
No one is an expert here, our opinoins are our own. Some may share them, others may not. But don't let some people's arrogance or post-policing make you feel that your own opinions aren't JUST as valid.
I don't think anyone asked your opinion james
I know no-one here is an expert. Music is subjective like art.And, as in the art world, certain people like to portray themselves as experts,and try to tell us what we should like or should consider good work v bad work. Opinions are like @#$%&.Everyone has at least one.
