After reading many of the posts about this song it is obvious that the younger listners like it. As an old fan that has loved the Stones for more years than I care to remember, this is not what the Stones are about. This song belongs on one of Mick's solo albums. Give me back that Rock and Roll band that has always been the best live entertainment on the planet. When they finally decide to do some live shows I will be there and I know now I will have to sit through Gloom and Doom. To me all that does is take away a song I would want to hear.

Are you sure DeeGee?!
And what about the horrible 'Everybody getting high'?? Unfortunately 'Goddess' style is very present in 'Gloom and Doom'
Listen and then tell me:

Listen and then tell me:
You've said that a few times, but yet I fail to see it.
Guitars (a key element in RS-music) is not in any way similar to what's going on on Goddess...
Although the drum sound is "modern" on DAG, it sound nowhere like Everybody Getting High.
Obviously, Mick's vocals are light years better on DAG?
Would you care to elaborate why you find them so similar, could it be that both songs feature fake hand claps?
Ouch! Just listened to Getting High, the keyboard-strings there are downright torture
What makes them familiar is Jagger's singing, and "trying hard to rock" mood over everything, not only singing, but the music as well. Allthough they differ in the way that Everybody Getting Hi is not serious Jagger, he's having a laugh.

The song initially caught my attention but soon sounded like nothing fresh or different;
Just want to be sure you realize the song only just came out today. Sounds as though you have a fairly fleeting attention span. ADD?
No, not necessarily, treaclefingers, he's still listening to Citadel
AHH Mr. Snow. The nutty Norwegian. Have you studied the grammar lessons I gave you? Test tomorrow! Best to make jokes in your own language. Enjoy the winter.
Don't embarrass yourself even further, Steve

What's "younger" in this context anyway?
Here we have people in their 40s and 60s really enjoying this track

They have never been a straight Rock n Roll band - thank goodness.
Loads of quirky stuff.
I love "Shattered" for instance.
All that punk, funk, disco stuff they did as well.
The pop and pyschedelic stuff in the 60s.
They have mostly always tried to ride the zeitgeist.

Meanwhile, outside of angsty iorr-tell me a whole lotta people are liking the song. The contrast between comments here and those on youtube are interesting.
I must admit it is sounding better to my ears with each listen. The Doom and Gloom single(Radio Mix) kicks the arse of their tired vegas era sound and gives us something fresh and livley!!!
For me the pro's are that it has a great Mick vocal, the track has energy and life(Radio Edit), the rhythm is modern so to speak, but has a nod and a wink to past tracks such as Street Fighting Man, Brown Sugar.
Were they not so old and some what forever bound to their historic past I'd say a track such as this could act as a bridge to a whole new sound for the stones.
Glad seing you seeing the positive aspects as well. But, of course, cheerleeder boys liek you and me love everything they do...
But a great summary and I think it hits the point I've tried to figure out for some time.
Namely that of mixing the traditional Stones sound world with the sounds of contemporary scene. I think that has been a real struggle for them for ages (since early 80's I think), and sometiemes they don't even bothered to try (like A BIGGER BANG). Mostly the results have sounded very forced and artificial (for example, the stuff in BRIDGES TO BABYLON, worst being that horrible "Juiced", and the tricks in "Anybody Seen My Love?" aren't much to be proud of).
But in that sense "Gloom and Doom" succeeds nicely to fit the familiar elements to a new clothing, and I think it sounds surprisingly fresh. Great to hear that people outside the harcore fan circles are enjoying the results as well.

Just heard it (twice!) on Radio2.... fantastic, classic groove, real rock'n'roll and I instantly liked it, which is a great sign.
The presenter joked that they had an exclusive for 10 minutes ahead of the rest of the world so they played it twice in a row.
GRRReat :-)
Nothing fantastic or classic about it really. Less than average if you ask me. Just a shouting MJ on a ZZ Top beat. Not tipical Stones at all.
<<< Just a shouting MJ on a ZZ Top beat. Not typical Stones at all >>>
That's pretty much my take on it too, there's not a lot that's either fantastic or classic about it, I'd have to agree.
Well if you look at it that way, why not say that the early Stones songs are just Jagger howling over a blues beat. You can make anything sound bad with that argument. Yes it's a tad ZZ Top, but so what? CYHMK is a tad Santana. You may not like it, and that's your right, but that argument is not valid. It does sound like a Jagger penned song, but he said that he just writes and uses what he thinks fits The Stones.
