Too Much Blood is the only highlight on this album

Seriously? I mean if you like Too Much Blood, how is it that you don't like Undercover of the Night, or Pretty Beat Up or Tie You Up?

I can get not liking the album, but to like that song and not the rest is perplexing to me.

You just listed your top stones albums above, and put Tattoo You and Undercover above albums like Sticky and Exile ... and you question where this guy is coming from??? (although I do have to agree with one thing, as Too Much Blood is the only bad song on this album).

You need to reread my post, that isn't at all what I said...

Actually its exactly what you said:

"You've got your big four, Tattoo You, Some Girls, Between The Buttons, Aftermath, Black and Blue, Undercover."

Although I guess if I didn't scan over it too quickly I would have seen that you listed more than 4 and possibly figured it out.

Dear lord, you've reread it and you still don't know what 'your big four' means? I'm hereby revoking your fan club membership and placing you on citizen's arrest.

You'll be detained for questioning...oh you're in real trouble now my friend.

LeonidP, how is "your big four, Tattoo You, Some Girls, Between The Buttons, Aftermath, Black and Blue, Undercover" confused for not including Beggars, LIB, SF and EOMS?

He did not say "your big four" meaning Tattoo You, Some Girls, Between The Buttons, Aftermath, Black and Blue, Undercover" because, in case you can't count that, that's SIX albums. Nor did he list those 6 albums before the Big Four.

You must've eaten a funny cookie.

Please send me a few "funny cookies".

I know what the 'big four' is, but that doesn't mean that i know what you think those same big four are. If you (and a couple others) really need the grammar lesson, then it should have read something like this: "You've got your big four AND Tattoo You, Some Girls, Between The Buttons, Aftermath, Black and Blue, Undercover." Obviously I didn't know what you thought the big four is ... now I do, not that big a deal really.

LOL!

Thanks...all I wanted was your complete capitulation, a sense that you were being completely contrite, and a heart felt apology.

Now we're good.

"There is a moment early on in "Too Tough," a terrific song on the second side, that sums up all of the Stones' extraordinary powers. With the guitars locked into a headlong riff and Mick Jagger hoarsely berating the woman who "screwed me down with kindness" and "suffocating love," the track is already off to a hot start; but then Charlie Watts comes barreling in on tom-toms and boots the tune onto a whole new level of gut-punching brilliance. That the Stones are still capable of such exhilarating energy is cause enough for wondrous comment; that they are able to sustain such musical force over the course of an entire LP is rather astonishing. Undercover is the most impressive of the albums the group has released since its mid-Seventies career slump (the others being Some Girls, Emotional Rescue and 1981's remarkable Tattoo You) because, within the band's R&B-based limits, it is the most consistently and energetically inventive."
-Kurt Loder - Rolling Stone

my bad...in English, I think Kurt Loder is correct about Undercover

Always loved Too Tough...such sleazy sounding guitars and vocals...just love it.

Who said this album has no guitars?

It is a great album. Million times better than this "Say, Say, Say" or "Evony and Ivory" crap.

Yes, the early eighties was a lot of that. Undercover was brilliant for it's time.

Such an unusual song, Undercover of the Night, and interesting choice for lead single.

I don't think people really knew what to make of it...it killed album sales unfortunately. People were probably expecting a more anthemic, "Start Me Up-ish" lead single and Undercover of the Night certainly wasn't that.

But I like better. No ballads on the album, a real departure.

But just because it didn't sell as well doesn't detract from the quality of the music.

It took me many years before I even heard this album, mainly because I became a fan only in the mid-90s and had so much to explore! But it is one of those albums that has evolved for me, and although it is by all means no LIB, I still like it a lot. She was hot and Too tough are especially good, listened to SWH just this evening on my mp3 - coincidentally.

Great! Now that we know you were wrong, let's address the fact that you still rank Undercover above albums like, IORR, RS NOW, England's Newest etc. Still makes one question whether you're qualified to question that poster's inclusion of Too Much Blood as a great tune.

Yeah, according to the set list fm web site they played it at the o2, London in '07. Must of been a sea of wealthy casual listeners and corporate sponsor types heading for the bar & toilets.

The first album by the Rolling Stones where the majority of songs are sub-standard, plain and simple. Unfortunately it wasn't the last.

It was a staple in the Keith set on the european leg of the tour

First time in standard tuning, btw - but then again, Keith didn't play much on it...
