Allthough I like Back Of My Hand, it isn't that great musically (one chord only). The only surprise on this one is Mick's contribution on slide guitar which he does fantastic. But live this song seems to work better.
Personally I think A Bigger Bang is a great album. I like all 16 tracks. Of course one more than the other but I don't want anything being left off.
My favorites at the moment:
Look What The Cat Dragged In (classic Stones a la Undercover album, the band is really firing!)
Biggest Mistake (classic Stones/country, great melodies, great vocals)
Laugh, I Nearly Died (another classic, mysterious, fantastic vocals)
Driving Too Fast
This Place Is Empty (another great slide job from Mick!)
Rain Fall Down (allthough I prefer more guitarsolos/licks towards the end, and without the extra bassdrum... they can easily do without them!)
She Saw Me Comming (another simple but effective rocker, I like it, great rhythm Keith, great fills from Ronnie)
Oh well... I like them all in the end! I never expected this kind of quality from the Stones.
