No matter how the sequencing is, it doesnt make a better album of GHS.
Star Star
Silver Train
100 Years Ago - BORING
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)
Dancing with Mr. D - BORING
Can You Hear the Music - BORNG
Hide Your Love
Coming Down Again - BORING
Angie - BORING
Winter - BORING
Anyway You Look At It (!) the album is a wreck.
A Stones-album should not be boring. GHS is.
That is the major problem.
You HMS bores the daylight out of me.
Go listen to Dirty Work while I have another listen to GOAT'S HEAD SOUP maybe.
I'd say I listened to Goat's Head Soup 600 times since 1978 and to Dirty Work 85 times since 1986.
How come? I am so BORING!

Only four outstanding songs means a total failure by Stones-standards.
All in all it´s their most uninspired, most boring album ever.

Ending it with five slow ones?

If there is any major problem it's not with GHS but with the fact that you label anything that's not uptempo rocker as "boring". Don't you think yourself that your musical taste appears a bit one-dimensional?

Well, they could have included tracks like Criss Cross, Through The Lonely Nights, Short And Curlies or Waiting On A Friend instead of some of the tracks that they chose.

Not sure GasLight's order is better, but anyway, I'll stick to it:
Star Star - Nice of course, but not very original (wouldn't start an album with it either)
Silver Train - Nothing special, filler really
100 Years Ago - Very interesting, has some great parts
Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker) - Good
Dancing with Mr. D - Something went wrong here, don't know what
Can You Hear the Music - Potentially good song, but lacks the "Exile" sound/production/approach/grooviness. It sounds too "woolly"
Hide Your Love - Potentially good, same problem as Can You Hear The Music
Coming Down Again - Not Keith's best
Angie - Good
Winter - Very good
This album could have been better, but what with them living in different parts of the world, Keith probably a bit too high too often, both Micks losing touch with Keith, and a general lack-lusterness this album is not as good as it could have been. Although there is a certain charm to the sense of decay it brings across. And yes, adding Cris Cross (or whatever it's called) would have been a good idea (instead of Silver Train for instance).

Re-sequencing albums is always fun to consider. I love the album a lot, but here's my suggestion for an alternate track listing.
1. Heartbreaker
2. Silver Train
3. Starf*cker
4. Hide Your Love
5. Dancing with Mr. D
6. Angie
7. Winter
8. A Hundred Years Ago
9. Can You Hear the Music?
10. Coming Down Again
Obviously, I'm sequencing for vinyl and thinking of TATTOO YOU for inspiration.
If Promotone's licensing contracts allowed CD bonus tracks instead of dictating a separate disc of "rarities" then I would add three more cuts after a minute of silence, the second of which is heretical but fits in nicely musically.
Bonus Tracks:
11. Save Me
12. Too Many Cooks (Spoil the Soup)
13. Through the Lonely Nights
And yes, I'm officially retitling Tracks 1, 3, 8, and 11. You can do that sort of thing when you're King.

GHS was the first album I ever bought, being 13 back when it was released. Thus it will always have a good place in my heart. I've always loved it even though I've realized that there are certainly better Stones albums. I feel it still holds it's own in their discography.
