"Disque du mois" (album of the month) in French magazine Rock & Folk : [www.rocknfolk.com]
They even claim it's the band best album since Exile on Main St...

Best Stones album since......bloody ages ago. They sound like...the Stones on form with just the right spark of spontaneity that can push their live shows to another level captured in the studio. I had my doubts about the Stones doing a blues album - and, yes, I do still prefer some of the originals than the versions on B&L - but what a fine job they've done. I reckon it would have been a different outcome if they had spent months on it.

You won´t find sub-standard and zero standard music on DW. If you´re looking for that kind of stuff you´ll have to listen to Goats Head Soup, Steel Wheels and Some Girls.

Wow. It is impressive.
Can't wait to get and then give the other two!
Thanks again to those that posted the link for these.

amazing to read all those comments about this new album.
I'm a real stones addict and I don't find any interest in this cover album. It would have been a good bootleg but not an album.
sweet home chicago , shame shame shame, my first plea... are really much better than this!
I was so disappointed when i first listened to B&L. My first question was: "where is keith?"
We can't hear him on this album. That's why Mick plays so much harmonica...
Keith can't play any solos anymore?
We're so far from ABB which was a real big bang!

He's there on every song in the right channel. He plays the lead intro on Ride 'Em On Down and the outro solo on All Of Your Love + the great slide guitar on Hoo Doo Blues and lots of licks on most of the other songs.
On songs like Just Your Fool it's Ronnie you can't hear

Tattoo You isn´t a regular Stones-album. It´s a compilation of leftovers, some of them very old. The songs on TY are not even the Stones´s choice, Kimsey came up with them after spending lots of time in the vaults in search of something that could be used to stitch an album together. Another producer maybe would have chosen different tracks to work with. Mick and Kimsey realized TY without any or only minor contributions by the other band members.
Here you go again with your nonsense. The age of the songs is irrelevant. Major contributions by band members made the songs ready for Jagger to add vocals to. All studio albums are compilations of songs that have been recorded.Quote

So B&L is their best album since DW of course.
So was STEEL WHEELS, VOODOO LOUNGE, BRIDGES TO BABYLON and A BIGGER BANG, of course, because at that point Mick Jagger recording an album of Keith snoring would've been better than DW. And everything before it was their best before DW of course.Quote

I liked it immediately and it even grows on me, it´s the "real" Stones, the Stones "unmasked" for the first time in about 30 years. B&L, just like DW or Black And Blue practically consists of highlights only.
DW has one highlight. It consists of very poor writing and communication.Quote

Such a great cover album makes me somewhat afraid of a new album of originals to be honest, especially when thinking of the amount of fillers/inferior songs on SW, VL, B2B & ABB.
The amount of inferior songs on those albums combined are less than the entire catastrophe of DW.Quote
HMS
The only way to top B&L is recording another Blues-album, this time consisting of even better material and a bit more variety.
Said by someone that thought B&L wouldn't sell or be worthy.Quote

There isn´t only Chicago-Blues, there´s Country Blues, acoustic Blues and on and on.
Like you, on and on about nothing. So what if there are other kinds of country. You just said B&L is a great album but then you immediately undermine it with what else they should do.Quote
HMS
And all of the piano parts of course should be played by Chuck - he´s a marvelous Blues-pianist,listen to Fancy Man Blues and it´s clear to see.
Nope. And hopefully not, of course. You love plinky plink, real Stones fans don't, of course. Chuck's playing is so pedestrian it's painful.
History will support this accurate list of the Stones' greatest albums:
Beggars Banquet
Let It Bleed
Sticky Fingers
Exile On Main Street
Some Girls
Tattoo You
Blue And Lonesome

Just Your Fool? You can't hear Ron? Are you the Pinball Wizzard perhaps?

This album must have the least Keith I have ever heard , and for the first Time ever I am hearing Ron out of both channels . The separation of the guitars, Ron on left Keith on right seems to have gone , with Ron dominating on both channels , or am I deaf , and one short Keith solo ! That's it ! Very unusual.

Powderman, just curious why you think Keith plays the lead on the intro of REOD?

I would say the least front and in your face Keith, but his signature is still all over it. His driving chugging rhythm guitar is all over the album although mixed a bit low.

For the first time ever Ron is the dominant guitarist and Keith is second fiddle with one short solo. Enough with the harmonica , more guitar solos please
