Cut the post-DW-Albums down to 40 minutes, remove the songs that are unpleasing and you get albums just as vital as above mentioned records. Even more vital than GHS & IORR which imo are rather sleepy than vital. DW is the only album that needs no changes, it is their last great album and a pleasure to listen to just the way it is.

Laugh I Nearly Died isn´t really a bad song but Mick ruins it almost completely for me. His often whiny way of singing is super-ridiculous on that one. It´s just too much... excessively exaggerated. I tried hard to like that song but it makes me laugh every time I hear it.

You, a man of superior musical taste, must know best of all how ridiculous Mick sounds on LIND. He sounds ridiculous on SOL too (and on Always Suffering/Already Over Me) but LIND is the top of the tops. I understand Main Deffenders decision to remove it although I absolutely not agree to remove Sweet Neo Con. SNC is the only song on ABB that´s at least a bit adventurous.

Was direct, hard hitting .. 'in your face' Stones again. Even had humor in the lyrics once again. Sounded like Dirty Work .. and Some Girls with a dash of Undercover.
Was like I dreamed of all these great 80's Stones songs but they didn't exist. Well in this release .. we got those songs.
A damn solid album .. As solid as it gets. I loved it when it came out. Was sparse.. and stripped down in production. Not hardly any brass.. not many keys.. not tons of session musicians. Was just mostly them. A more 'Rock' based Stones album.
The album didn't have many (or any) huge sounding 'singles'... aside from the radio friendly Streets of Love if you want to count that. Still every song was good with great stripped down ballsy rock based production. While there were no blown out of the water major songs .. all songs were anywhere from at least good to damn good. It hit the mark and that kind of album was what they really needed back then.
Someone here rated Dangerous Beauty as 'filler'. I offer but four words for that remark ......>> Are you friggin crazy??

Laugh I Nearly Died always sounded to me as a wiser/sadder answer to Wandering Spirit (the song). Yes, a Jagger solo song, but great nontheless.

Well, let's see...
"Let Me Down Slow" - nice descending melody line can't disguise the fact this is "Stealing My Heart" Part Two and just as lame.
