Yeah, not to get off topic, but HCIS is the worst Keith track ever. I don't understand how any Stones fan can find anything to like about it.

I've said it before and I say it again: Vodoo Lounge was, is and will forever be the album that suffers the most from Mick and Keith using their best songs at the time for solo albums, namely Wandering Spirit and Main Offender.
With the best stuff from these albums (recorded by the Stones, of course) on board and some weak tracks removed, Voodoo Lounge could have been a bona fide classic Stones album. The songs were there, they were just not used for the band.
As it is, I agree with Moonshine that it's difficult to sit through the whole album without skipping certain tracks - usually a safe indicator that something's wrong with any albums that are just mixed bags, no matter how good certain tracks are.

This might be true for Mick, but I think both The Worst and Thru And Thru surpasses most of Keith's material on MO in terms of quality (with the exception of Words Of Wonder and Hate It When You Leave).

From Mick's side it could also be that he had just made a rather good Stones-sounding album by himself, and now he should another with his old pals.. Artistic exhaustion?
Jagger's stance on VOODOO LOUNGE has been alawys a bit vague. We know all that retro-talk and blaming Don Was etc. He sounded like he - HIM! - didn't have much control, or - more likely I think - that he simply wasn't that interested at all (or lost his interest among the process.)

I am surprised that V.L.is not get the recognition it deserves IMO it is one of the greatest of late period Stones. Such variety. Good rockers great ballads a little Tex Mex and Keiths best country ever. And why they haven't done Mean Disposition or Baby Break It Down live escapes me.
