Keith doesn´t stand "in the line of Cave, Waits, Cohen". He never did, never will. And he isn´t some "sort of underground writer". Never was and never will be. Cave, Waits, Cohen are artists. Poets if you will. Keith is a Rock n Roll musician. That´s all he is and ever was.
My comments are easy to understand for everybody but you. If you should think Keith is artistically in the same league as Cohen, then you are ignorant.

Oh I understood your comments. The problem is your failure to understand what you're commenting on, which always seems to illuminate your ignorance like a thousand watt light bulb.
You don't think Keith Richards is an artist. Your stupidity is brilliant.
There are artists and artists.
The Rolling Stones are rather very very successful entertainers than artists.

Top album. Still play it a lot.
Suspicious, Robbed Blind and Lover's Plea are ace on a consistently great record.
Just A Gift and Goodnight Irene could have been omitted, imo.

For me, it's all the songs that you just mentioned plus Illusion, which are the highlights of the album.

I like that one, too + many others. But the copy of the Baby Break It Down-riff on Illusion is a little too similar – to be able to enjoy it as much as the others.

Trouble and Robbed Blind were my initial favorites (and probably still are), but right now I'm really digging Heartstopper.

It took me a while to get into Trouble. It's more complex than it seems. Love it!
Musically, Trouble, Heartstopper, Amnesia, Nothing On Me and Blues In The Morning are Stones-tunes, really. Of stellar quality, too!

The entire album is a winner and provided some great listening for months after release - I still consider it a masterpiece, and hearing it now is just as satisfying. The soundtrack for the late summer and Fall of 2015, and easily the best Stones related album since Tattoo You. If the Stones as a band can ever get it together for a new album, they have their work cut out for them if they want to come close to the overall quality of Crosseyed Heart. Doubtful they can imo considering the soap opera that's taken place so far, not to mention all the other Stones albums since Tattoo You which have always felt unnatural and forced resulting in something mediocre at best.

Crosseyed Heart was a clunker. Bill's recent Back to Basics is a better album, and has a real single in 'What & How & If & When & Why'.

For me, Crosseyed Heart had a greater impact and left a bigger impression on me.
Hard to be objective with this as it's only my opinion, but the two were released at different periods of my life and therefore have a different context which can sometimes influence one's opinion.
I certainly loved Talk is Cheap and it held the place as the best Stones related album since Tattoo You for a long time...until Crosseyed Heart came out.
That said, I think You Don't Move Me as an individual song is better than any individual song from Crosseyed Heart, but if comparing the albums as a whole, I lean towards Crosseyed Heart - for a variety of reasons.

I guess that's the point: it' s all subjective, just opinions. For me,there are, especially in the first half of CH great tunes but also few fillers in the second half. Talk is cheap: every song a Killer. Compare Blues in the morning with could have stood you up and you know what I mean.
