in many ways, ER is superior to SG (my favourite album), because of better playing and more developed arranging.
Truer words have never been spoken. ER is indeed superior to SG, better songs, better playing, better singing... everything´s better on ER. The only good thing about overrated SG is that the Stones sounded fresh and re-energized again, but most songs on SG are mediocre. The way they executed the album is much more enjoyable than the album itself.
Emotional Rescue is terrible. A better album could have been compiled from the Some Girls bonus material and Tattoo You material. Aside from Let Me Go and She's So Cold it's horrible.
Ha! All About You, Dance and Down In The Hole are better than anything on SG.

Down In Hole is not even as good as blues tracks like the Storm, Black Limousine or Fancyman Blues.

As much as I love The Storm, Black Limousine & Fancy Man Blues, Down In The Hole is much better in every way. Down In The Hole is a masterpiece, a true masterpiece.
It gave me goosebumps when I listened to it for the first time and it still does.
10/10!

Emotional Rescue always seems to be the forgotten album in these chats
It's never forgotten here. Love it! One of their best
Minority opinion, at best. But as such, still valuable.
I just love that Pathe Marconi-sound! And in many ways, ER is superior to SG (my favourite album), because of better playing and more developed arranging.
In my humble, minority – but still valuable – opinion, of course..

If only "better playing and more developed arranging" would have met with "better (or at least equal) songwriting quality" - then, well, then... your minority - but still valuable, of course - opinion would represent a more or less general consensus! If only...

Sometimes I hate the "political correctness battles." No matter what, at the end of the day you have to live and let live and respect other people's opinions even if you say openly that you strongly disagree with them. Who cares and how much energy can you put into disputing songs and albums? Most people think Dirty Work sucks, some don't, big deal.
I like "The Lantern," so shoot me. I "hate Brown Sugar," I must be insane, etc, etc.
It was really bad when dreaded American politics were discussed. The "everybody must of course think like me and agree with me" attitude was omnipresent. And look what happened to that one.
I like the Melissa Manchester song "Pretty Girls." How can I ever show my virtual face after saying that!

Consensus is not always the truth, though, as GHS generally indeed is seen as inferior to the golden four.

There can't be a general "truth" in personal musical opinions, it's a contradiction in itself.

It's better, as it's even more than a blues. It's a blues noir, and perhaps the only one the Stones ever made.
By all means, enjoy The Storm. To each their own.

Not a fan of DITH but blues noir - yes. I wonder if they could have made ER stronger. Maybe Little T and A sounded like Shes so cold and thats why they waited. And Keith only had one solo spot.

I´d like to know who was the very first to spread this inappropriate myth of DW being a "bad" album.
Lol...that is a funny sentence!
