I actually think many of the interviews in so called renowned newspapers are pretentious, repetitious and boring. Why bring up the sixties and seventies again when there have been tons of books written about it?
Do they assume that the reader is totally unaware of the band's history? Sure, you can find some nuggets in it also. If you can find them in the mass of texts...

Good piece, Mick giving away little bits, while sweeping off the dust of the past from what's happening now.
Depending on You isn't anything like Wild Horses, it's like itself- the album, which I am writing up a review this weekend for MOnday's The Arts Desk, has a sound and feel all of its own and not art all like any of the old ones or the recentish ones - fully cohesive, Stones as they are now, without looking back, live in the room, in a room with all this 21st c tech.
It surpasses all those albums going back to TY because of that cohesiveness, of sound, of vocals, guitar work, the sheer quality and build of the songs, the whole palette. I mean, I love B2B, but that sounds like a schizophenic record of disparate parts compared to HD - here, Mick and Keith have found a working accord they may not have had since PAthe maroni times. And it has a rich, thick sound texture with fuzzy edges.
It sounds like itself, nothing else. For which we must thank the second most important Andrew in the story of the Stones!

Dynamic Range of 'Angry' is DR6 and 'SSOH' is DR5 according to the measurements by ProStudioMasters.com.
Thanks Irix. At this stage would have to think Matt Colton has done the whole album.
Unfortunately not great DR values, bit of a shame really if you are interested in fidelity of sound.

From the Independent, the over praising of current album, negating basically everything said about previous. Be an interesting read at least.
Behind the paywall; some kind soul will hopefully post the text here at some point

But what if the album is indeed the best since Some Girls? Shouldn't you be allowed say it then?

Paul Finebaum is a commentator on the SEC channel, where football fans report their opinions of the SEC football teams, like Tennessee and Alabama. He said that the Stones should not have released a new CD, since their very best work was done in the seventies and eighties. To try to eclipse their earlier achievements would be a grave mistake. He apparently thinks they would be making fools of themselves.
I disagree with his philosophy. All artists and musicians should be allowed and encouraged to create as long as they wish or are able.

Paul deals with a lot of young people whose careers never get started after the pro draft or flame out before the end of their twenties. Some are lucky and hang on in derivative jobs such as espn highlight commentator. Football produces a lot of Al Bundys. It might weigh on Paul's mind. But there is something the comment made me think of while reading it this morning listening to Live in England from Charlie is My Darling. Many artists who exited the stage early are cherished for those few highlights. I cannot imagine Brian playing guitar on Streets of Love. Not Mick Taylor either.
