Thank you Redhotcarpet! we needed this! It's a fix, too much enthusiasm here I was getting worried we could miss the point
You better get your ears checked
There are nuances, but not in the song you liked. Figure that?
Keith is there all the time, and his playing brings me joy. The only song where he is somewhat absent is (surprise) Hate To See You Go...
Never post while drunk
hahahaha.
Cheers for posting this one!
Love the Rush-version dearly
However, I think Hairball is up for a rather nice surprise here
Great interviews. Thanks for posting.
It must be difficult to interview Charlie by the way.
I haven't heard the album yet, but I do like "Hate To See You Go" (not so fond of "Just Your Fool" ). I would say "Hate To See You Go" has the nuance that the guitar (I am supposing it's Ron) is playing the riff slightly different now and then, sometimes even it seems he slips and just in time recovers, which adds to the "spontaneous feel" of it.
Just my 2 cents.

Im serious! Please enjoy the album, to me this is not good blues, i prefer other older versions including their own different covers from the debut album, Oooh or the Mocambo. To me this sounds rushed somehow. Sterile.
Never understood this weird thing of letting the sounds of the video interfere with the music. The song doesn't sound very inspired though.
Great track indeed, but not one of my favourites. I also find it better than Just Your Fool.
The funny thing was that it personifies all the criticism Carpet came up with on the album (Keith absent, few nuances etc) - yet it's the only track he says is great. That was the point I tried to get across
IMO, the single (with a dark and dangerous - and perhaps controversial – video to go with it) should have been Hoo Doo Blues!
It was great indeed. So is Hoo Doo Blues.
I beg to differ; it has the same degree of oomph as Johnny Winters' production of Muddy Waters on Hard Again.
Baffling...
Rock isn't really that different to the blues here
Talk about your favorite band.

Geez what a boring album! Loudness war, Mick tries to sing like a yelling 20 something guy, Keith is absent, no nuances at all in anything. Hate to see you go is good though. Had they released that - fine but no this is not a good album. 2/5. 2 is for the Mick Jagger harmonica showcase.

What a beautiful piece of work. It's taken me back to the reason why I fell in love with/became obsessed with the Stones many years ago. The raw energy and enthusiasm shines right through.
What with Exhibitionism and now this, 2016 is ranking amongst my best every Stones years.

I like the record very much. Maybe I would have preferred an album of originals but this version of "Blue And Lonesome" is absolutely amazing. Think it's my favourite song of the album.

I would say "Hate To See You Go" has the nuance that the guitar (I am supposing it's Ron) is playing the riff slightly different now and then, sometimes even it seems he slips and just in time recovers, which adds to the "spontaneous feel" of it.
Just my 2 cents.

I listen to vinyl right now, much warmer than the cd , guitars and bass are more present and charlie is the man !
I find Mick voice a little bit hard , anyway this is a great record from the Rolling Stones.
Little Rain is awesome !!!!

I love the album. I had heard some negativity on this thread and was a bit worried, but I am listening to it now and it is just blowing me away. Mick's vocals are amazing, especially on the title track. And Keith is there, playing beautifully. And it's some of the best playing that I've ever heard by Ronnie. A brilliant album.

Just heard the whole album two times in a row. My honest opinion is: Mick shines on it. I really like his vocals and especially his harmonica playing. BUT...let's face it, 54 years ago when this band started they were poor and hungry and real blues enthusiasts. What we hear now are a bunch of multi-millionaires and jet-setters whose blues roots are long, long gone. The Rolling Stones are not even a real band anymore, it is some sort of a project and a multi-million global player in the music and entertainment industry. More of like a brand than a band. It's a nice attempt to give the impression that they are old blues-cats and such, but it is as fake as Keith's teeth. To me this album is some sort of a gimmick and it doesn't sound like real and authentic blues to me.

You can't compare this one with Hard Again. Hard Again is a masterpiece and Muddy is the original master! I'll agree with you, Hansman. I think I'll pass on this one. Nice Mustang though!

I like most everybody here love the sound of this album - raw and crunchy, Mick sounds great - more 'into it', feeling the vocals - than in a long time. The whole atmosphere of sound is dark and brooding.
But.....
I guess my problem is the blues. I don't really like listening to a tune for the first time and knowing what the chord will change to and when. Every single tune on the new album you know when the changes are coming and how. At least Love In Vain contains that Eminor (i think, i dont have my guitar with me) that surprises a little. I guess the blues is just a little to predictable for me.
I would love to love the new album, but feel i have already heard these songs a thousand times before...
Now I'm really ducking down to avoid the rotten tomatoes...
