The album cover is iconic.
I ain't joking.
The Ape on title is really King Kong using a double. Don't be suprise if Godzilla is lurking for another Japanese concert tour himself, to put an end to the cocky acting Grrr Ape! It should one hell of a surprise!

No.1 in Germany, Austria, Ireland .Top three everywhere!.
So many of you said , that the "stones" would have no chance to enter the top ten with another greatest-hits-Album.
I am glad, you are wrong.
Think, a lot of "young-Ones" bought it. they want to hear their records from 1963-2012! --and why they are the greatest Rockn roll band.
The Album-cover with the APE with the stones-tongue is a "blickfang", sorry dont know the english word.
by the way--- I didnt bought GRRR --til now!

It probably went to #1 because the stones are good and new bands are generally pretty gay.

Hi Rockman
i really like Doom and Gloom but best 2 tracks of the year ? You need to check out the Jim Jones Revue. i saw em 2 weeks ago in Bristol (uk) my ears were ringing for 2 days and they absolutely fing rock. check 'em out turn the volume up
they've got a new lp out and it's better than the stones can manage these days although in fairness these guys are only a mere 40 something and not 70 something.

D&Gloom --- One More Shot best two tracks of the year ...
And well If ya don't believe me then tell me what is better....
VERY Clever marketing with cover and title ...
Cover stands out in record shops and GRRR easily remembered.. sticks in ya mind

In the last years,US hasn't been a good place to sell Stones albums."ABB" sold only 550,000 in the US for a total amount of 3 millions all over the world.A new studio album was better...
