Ahhh. Well shit, you're right. Somehow that glazed by me.
Don't hold back HM, tell us how you really feel.
Hey Negrita has cool riff, but the song goes nowhere. There's something about Fool To Cry, but not enough something to make it matter.

I knew you could come up with some more. You've probably figured out that I like the album...a lot, your royal so and so.
It shouldn't be compared to GHS and IORR at all, imo.
This is a r&b, blues, funk, reggae album, an album very true to their roots - something their two predecessors weren't,.
Did you forget the beautiful caribbean-esque bridge?
Where did Connection go?
It should because it's by the same band and it's a third duffer in a row.

"The same band" is stretching it a bit too far, isn't it? It's a very varied album, both because of the songwriting and because of trying out different guitar players - all making their mark on this album.
LOL! They had a much worse opener on GHS!
Groovy funk with a caribbean flavour isn't your cup of tea, I reckon
And you're not satisfied even before you were born. That's also an important factor.
Great review!
No, just a humorous signature, a play on svt22's sig.

It's more than that. It also contains a (imo) beautiful funk bridge - hence it's not "auto-parodic".

Someone that bothers with Wikipedia needs to correctly fix the Black And Blue page, partly because of this lack of information right here:
"Fool to Cry" was the only track from Black and Blue to appear on the Stones' career-spanning greatest hits albums Forty Licks in 2002 and GRRR! in 2012.
Oh I see. So Sucking In The Seventies, Rewind and Jump Back don't count.
But were those compilations "career-spanning"?
Ahhh. Well shit, you're right. Somehow that glazed by me.

The third iffy studio album in a row, but the one which confirms they were @#$%& and really ought to have called it a day after Exile.
Hot Stuff is high life party, cocktail glass clinking crap. Barf.
I bought this album once, 'twas gone quick time, never again!

It's short, sweet and loud. What I like about this album first is it's great mix... the sound. Next is the songs. All real good tracks. The album cover looks like drugs. And I'm reading lots of fans don't care for it that much or at all.For me, that's great in that it feels like my own little treasure that will never be overplayed to the point where it loses respect for what it is. They have songs and an an album for just about every category you can think of. 8 tracks for the 8-track. It's their shortest by tracks included and for a good reason. It works like they do best... making someone like me wanting more. Damn them amazing Stones. Damn.

He may or may not have been held back, but the woman somehow managed to tell him "don't worry" so a connection of some kind was made.
B&B is a shit album with the worst opener ever in the recorded history of mankind.

"Hot Stuff" -> An average attempt at funk/disco. A bit tedious.
"Hand of Fate" -> A simple auto-paradoy of a rocker, with the standard Keith open tuning riff. Still, nice to hear.
"Cherry Oh Baby" -> A terrible, terrible, terrible attempt at reggae. As a matter of fact, one genre the Stones consistently don't do very well is reggae.
"Memory Motel" -> I am not very fond of this kind of tearjerkers. Maybe with Mick Taylor still around it would have been a bit more interesting.
"Hey Negrita" -> Another average attempt at funk/disco. More tedious than Hot Stuff.
"Melody" -> Great song. It's the only song of the album I truelly like. The chords, the rhythm, the lyrics, but of course especially the way-over-the top campy falsettos from Mick Jagger and Billy Preston are great.
"Fool to Cry" -> Not bad, a bit camp but kind of original in a way.
"Crazy Mama" -> Another self-parody standard rocker. Still, okay to listen to.
All in all, an average album at best, with only one really outstanding song and, admittedly, a great cover photo.

It's not funk! It's cheesy as @#$%& New York high life cocktail party music. clink clink.
Of course, there is no point in discussing this with me because I cannot not be convinced otherwise.

Touches of London and Jamaica as well
"I want to tell all my friends in London..."
"All the people in New York City..."
"To everybody in Jamaica..."
Sounds rougher than NY disco cocktail parties to me - a beer party, perhaps
