This album will be a footnote.
It's not a great release.
Sorry.

I really like most of the songs on the CD, particulary the uptempo numbers. The slow ones are - for me - hard to take, but nevertheless they are performed very well by the group, it´s just not my kind of musical taste. The production is great and raw, they must have had a ball recording this stuff.
And I think it is a little bit unfair to bash people who dislike the new CD, because you really don´t have to be a fan of old school blues music to be a "real" Stones fan! This discussion is childish. I know there are many blues people around, blues is the origin not just of the Stones, but of rock music in general ... but "nobody" is listening to this kind of music nowadays.
Yeah but i am actually a blues fan but this album is not blues to me. Maybe partly because of Mick not really slowing down and letting himself go like in the old day when he was young and tried to sound old.

about blues and welfare
I always thought blues was about the release from misery and poverty
never felt bluer after spinning a blues record
though I dont deny the connection between art and living condition, if that argument is true (the TRUE blues can come only from poor black people suffering) you should have to dismiss a hell lot of great music.
and spealing of music that has firm roots in the blues you should have to dismiss things like beggars banquet and exile to name a couple not ot here

Actually I guess this is a good place to ask - is the standard version in a jewel case and if not - are any of the import versions in a jewel case?

I always thought some people feel things more deeply than others.
More connected, their hearts are tender-er, maybe we're smarter.
Maybe we drink more because of it, get down in that bind, try and crawl back.
I've seen poor people that seem happy.
I've seen people with more opportunities screw it all up.
Can you plug into the human condition of life on earth?
Have you fallen in love and had your heart broken?
Are you awake?
Da blues.

Why is it a 2 LP release? Even with ten minutes more the material had easily fit on 1 LP. One side with 10 or 12 minutes is quite absurd.

There it is. The quips about millionaires playing blues... forget about it. This isn't Clapton, it's the Stones.
Having a good time, doing a damn fine job of it to boot.

I haven't done any investigating other than getting Audacity. What else is there that is as good or better or what you use? I've used it for editing, mainly, one particular edit was from a live recording for a Westwood One show where some curse words were reversed... so I edited them to be correct, which is hilarious, but I've also tweaked some things just for fun with it, made part of a song sound like an AM radio... boosted some bass to shake the house on some notes, etc.

Oh, my god!
It makes me so sad, to read so much bullsh.. here!
Boring? So lala...??
I don't know, what are you doin' here or of what kind of band you're a fan of.
THIS IS THE BEST STONES ALBUM SINCE TATTOO YOO!
What we have here is the real essence of the band.
The real stuff.
No affected singing or trying to be trendy.
Everything of the band came out of the blues.
It's their basics.
This is 100% Stones.
I love this album!
And because of exactly this kind of music,
I'm proud to be a fan for nearly 40 years now!

He's probably using a digital mastering software. Unless he has set up a real mastering lab. I don't know.
