Mudbone, do you mean you like "Back to Zero" with its Cameo-like effects?

One thinks it's overproduced, and the other finds it unfinished. Gotta love the Stones (and the fans)
The production is too slick, and the song itself hardly exists.

One of the songs I have never understood that people praise.
It's Stones by numbers, it doesn't go anywhere and it's repetive and the melody is almost non-existent.

Yeah, like Gloom and Doom.

Dreadful. The Stones by numbers. Like they Dialled in.

I wish Jagger didn't keep repeating the line over and over and over. Too repetitive but LOVE the track!

Lyrics are pretty banal let's face it. "Burglarised my soul" !!

Stones by numbers? Where did you hear that riff or that slide-theme before.
IMO, it sounds like a new Stones song, somewhat modern-shaped by Mick.
It doesn't mean it's musically ground-breaking in any way, though...

How this made the cut of the finished, released album, and that neither of Don't Wanna Go Home or Under the Radar didn't, is absolutely beyond me or reason.

I mean, by Stones by numbers comment, they simply sound like they plugged in and started playing and this is what popped out. No thought, structure or time spent on it. Musically so very ordinary and lyrically? Please! Crap.
I don't like many of their songs where Jagger "sings" in an angry, clipped shout ... ala She Saw me Coming. Just dreadful. Not rehearsed or worked on/up.
How this made the cut of the finished, released album, and that neither of Don't Wanna Go Home or Under the Radar didn't, is absolutely beyond me or reason. Both of THESE tracks sound, to me, like 'a new Stones song, somewhat modern-shaped by Mick'...certainly ones I prefer to the plod of SSMC

It's a bit silly of course.
I think it was supposed to be a new Start Me Up, with double entendre lyrics and a signature riff.
And it's quite hard to tell why it didn't succeed in that ambition, because indeed it has a signature riff and silly lyrics.
Probably the fact that it was written at the age of 60 has something to do with it. They get away with playing SMU over and over, since essentially SMU was written when they were 35 and their ways were still relevant. But for a song done by senior citizens, it just sounds, well, silly, and too-hard-trying.

They rehearsed it Before the Beacon shows at least and in Shine A Light you can see that it's like I Go WIld, BS, Sad Sad Sad and Some Girls, a Mick Jagger tune all the way.
He plays the riff (which is a good one and inventive one, a bit like the LIS and Don't Stop-riffs).
Yeah I agree Justice, Under The Radar is Child of The Moon/Rain/Some Might Say/Hindu Times/Who Feels Love? all over again, although it is equally great.
UTR was not included on the album because the middle8 are exactly the same as the verse in SOL. Simple.
