The RB solo is indeed Nelson-ish, right down to the slightly lagging notes. Beautiful!

Maybe next week, next month, next year I will feel differently, but for the last 2 weeks, my feeling about this album is something like this:
1. Crosseyed Heart ==> FUNNY
2. Heartstopper ==> GOOD
3. Amnesia ==> GOOD
4. Robbed Blind ==> VERY GOOD
5. Trouble ==> GOOD
6. Love Overdue ==> OKAY
7. Nothing On Me ==> OKAY
8. Suspicious ==> HIGHLIGHT
9. Blues in the Morning ==> OKish, BUT WEAK
10. Something For Nothing ==> VERY GOOD (A GROWER)
11. Illusion ==> HIGHLIGHT
12. Just a Gift ==> VERY GOOD
13. Goodnight Irene ==> ENDEARING, VERY WELL SUNG
14. Substantial Damage ==> GOOD, REMINDS ME OF "It Means A Lot" BUT WITH BETTER MELODY
15. Lover's Plea ==> VERY GOOD

Keith's vocals are as smooth as gravel that has been sifted of most debris,
and I mean that as a compliment of course.

Can you mail me the melody of Substantial Damage, matxil? My copy arrived without one.

... but the ending ("that's all right...") with the choir and the violins is majestic, imo.

JUST A GIFT had my lady and me in tears for like 2 days. Great song. Now I wonder if its aimed at Mick like an open invitation to get together. " come on, surprise me"
waiting for a call from you etc etc.

A co-worker of mine's Mother recently passed. I had him play Just A Gift and he had a nice cry…..sometimes a cry like that can be relieving.

Suspicious's lyrics seems so dignified or maybe I mean on the British side. "cropping up in dreams", I love that phrase

Of course, I do have an objective opinion but my keyboard sticks when Keith gets metioned and I do have a number 10 button when required...
In all honesty after a number of listen's I'm quite enjoying the album. A great late night romp!(with a few drinks naturally)
Oh yeah, my good lady insist I tell you that Love 'Is' overdue is awesome!.. I know, I know but she made me!!

Eggzactly! It is extremely goose-bump worthy.

I get so confused. LOL. To me this album passed all expectations and then some. How could a die hard stones fan not love this album? I've been waiting for this baby since 1981. I actually took a 3 day hiatus from it and put it back on tonight on my drive home from work. It's great. There are some songs that are better than others, but I would say there isnt one real crap song on it. All of great in their own way. Maybe some folks have gone so long without hearing really new good worthy stuff that this album has thrown them for a loop. Just joking. To each their own but I love this album.

I know people here are excited about Keith's album (and I was excited about it as well). Bought it the day it came out and playing it steady ever since (along with Gilmour's album). But really......rating every song 5 stars....please. I mean if everything is "classic", then nothing is classic. 5 stars to me is rarely if ever given out. Very few things are, and should be, labeled classic otherwise the rating means little. there is virtually NOTHING on this album that is truly classic - closest is Robbed Blind. Its a very good album and there is nothing wrong with that. Keith can be proud, but classic. Let's put things in perspective. Sticky Fingers, Dark Side of The moon, London Calling, Ziggy Stardust - those are classic. Not this album....by a long shot. And by the way, Gilmours album is very good as well...and not a classic either.
