Reasons why I hate Bigger Bang :
1.) Terrible sound, production and recording engineering
2.) Poor, lazy, sophomoric song-writing
3.) Lousy guitar work, bad arrangements
4.) It sounds like a re-hash of all of their worst songs and song ideas from past records. It all sounds badly familiar.
5.) It hurts my ears

What does Gazza hate the "Why does everybody hate..." threads?
I'm guessing it has more to do with wanting to tell everybody they like an "underrated album" than actually wanting people's opinions on the matter. Because when you get to the bottom of it, it's just a matter of taste and the best you can hope for is an agreement to disagree.

I'ts not a bad album maybe they should have record the album in one take with no overdubbing, I can hardly identify the instruments, they all seems to meld in one....
Agree with Big Al 1981 is the year for me...

What do the Stones think of it?
How many songs from this album did they play on the 50 and counting tour?

Methinks some people on here just protesteth too much.
I dont think theres any Stones album which is widely disliked on here, let alone hated.
Even their most mediocre studio records (a list which IMO consists of Satanic Majesties and Dirty Work) have a few moments of magnificence which make them better than the finest albums by 95% of acts on the planet.
The Stones HATE Between The Buttons, a phenomenal album. Its impossible to me that they see THAT as a throwaway. Every song has an amazing hook and its such an eccentrically brilliant record. I agree they are usually not the best judges of their own material. At least in retrospective terms.Quote

PS The Stones are always the worst judges of which songs to choose - too many examples...
...but Under The Radar not on the album. Really?

Under the Radar is not on the album.
It's a b-side.
"Yeah, but it should count because it..."
No.
