TY isn´t dirty work, it´s Mick´s & producer´s work.
Dirty Work at least is an original studio album by the Rolling Stones - and may I dare to say not only their best 80s´ release but also their best release of (mostly) original material since 1986.
It sold more copies than Ya Ya´s.
Yes indeed.
Stones-fans all over the world gave Dirty Work a loving embrace and considered it a freakin relief after awful She´s The Boss.

STEEL WHEELS is 1969-1972 compared to the 1986 disaster.

Steel Wheels probably was the first Rolling Stones album ever that left many fans all over the world somewhat disappointed. - Yet Sad Sad Sad & Hold On To Your Hat & Break The Spell have Exile-quality. (Those songs, as good as they are, still are not as good as 80% of DW´s songs.)

STEEL WHEELS outsold THE 1986 DISASTER by over a million copies in the US alone and continues to do so. So not only was it not "probably" the first album for "over the world somewhat disappointed", it was a magnificent return to being vital, which there was absolutely zero of with the previous "album" aka the worst Rolling Stones album ever aka fake Stones.
Oh and they toured for it.

Yakety-yak. As usual just babbling, turning facts upside down, no substance. There never was a "fake Stones" album. Steel Wheels is everything but vital, most songs are boring, especially Keith´ songs to make the disappointment even bigger. Steel Wheels with its horrible 80s sound (Almost Hear You Sigh, Terrifying, Rock And A Sad Face, Continental Drift) is the disaster not DW.

You describe DIRTY WORK with excellent precision, you just spell it wrong.

In my memory SW wasn't the comeback album it should have been. It didn't sell that well (as acknowledged by Mick J. at the time), nobody that I knew liked it, and I mean both fans and non-fans. That's when everybody that at least I knew, stopped being fans.
I still like the album for what it is (half good/half bad), there is no such thing as a 'bad' Stones record, although there's one or two of them that come dangerously close in my opinion.

Nice, but Dancing With Mr D twice? - although dropping Harlem Shuffle and once more neglecting One Hit (To The Body)
cannot be considered a real improvement...

Today I listened to DW, it's not the best Stones album, but it's a good, very energetic album. I like the sound, the guitars and the whole set. I personally believe that the Stones have never made a bad album, obviously they are a band that embraces many generations with different musical sensibilities, accepting that there are not only their classic albums, but there is much more and if you don't like it there they are the Duran Duran!

No one in the whole wide world would call an album that contains:
- One Hit (To The Body)
- Harlem Shuffle
- Winning Ugly
- Dirty Work
- Had It With You
a "bad album". Oh, I have to correct myself: ONE does. One person only.
You don´t need to be fanboy to like DW. When it was released a lot of my friends who weren´t Stones-fans actually liked the album. And yes indeed: There is NO "bad Stones-album" in Stones´ history.
