It's good
Well, that seems to be democratically decided then. I think I'm an oldfashioned elitist, because I'm not part of the masses that seem to decide if something is good or not.

I liked the stories Richards told in his book about the Some Girls sessions, if they are accurate.

Love this album. It puzzles me when in the GHS, IORR, B&B thread I see many posts stating that one of those 3 was the last great Stones album. They are all before SG, TY or UC.
(Even B2B, which IMO is the last great one)

I'm going to have to go back to B2B because although I like several tracks on there, Thief, Saint Of Me, OOC, there was a lot of junk that I remember.
The ballads I thought were horrid.
I know lots of people though really hold it up...I'm going for a fresh listen.

Spot on Dandy, and it reflects my feelings of the album accurately. SG is musical fast food: it tastes well for a short period of time and then one's stomach starts to protest
You have to know that I loved the album during the first weeks, maybe even months! But after that time my appreciation went downhill. Well, Beast is a nice song, we agree on that one.

Some Girls as bad as Dirty Work? What the? Man that is just some crazy talk. Some Girls was their firey return. Some one posted earlier it was their 70's Beggars, and I agree! Punk, funk, R and B, country, and balls the wall rock and roll. The band is locked in tight on the whole thing. And Ronnie, Mick and Keith all singing harmonies together. I remember reading a review in Cream, and how amazed they were of the harmonies from the Stones. Ronnis is allowed to be Ronnie, and shows a depth and versitality that was sublime and proved his place. They hit back hard! Grabbed the world's attention, dominated the charts, and showed the punks why no one can out punk Keith. And finally Jagger/Richards write a concept album singing about pain, loss, and anger in a way that hadn't been heard in a long time. And would rarely be seen again in the later part of their career. Every song, EVERY SINGLE SONG is worth it. A love letter to all things New York. And the production smacks you in the face. Finally, Bill and Charlie high in the mix propelling the entire band to keep up. Great cover! Great tour. The Stones were back with a smart and crisp rock and roll statement. "f v c K 'em if they can't take a joke!" Dripping with attitude and raunch. Love Some Girls!

Not my favorite, may be true that it does not include one single bad tune but the production is just awful.
If they re-recorded the whole album with a completley different sound and production then it maybe would be a great album.

Next to Exile their best album.

Ronnie's steel guitar playing on Far Away Eyes, and the unbelievably gentle and subtle stuff he does on Beast Of Burden should make his long time critics do 10 push ups every time they say he can't play

Are any SOME GIRLS songs played in open-G (guitar)? Start Me Up is from those same sessions, so it's possible.
