What makes HD stand out to me in regard to, eh, 1989 onward, since it's not very many albums in comparison to 1964-1983, is the depth of the album in its place. Like SOME GIRLS it has a country song that takes, rather than just sits there, as well as a nice variance throughout the rest of the album, whatever you want to call it, genres or stylings.

Where as BRIDGES was them attempting to be modern, at times, it sounds really good compared to VOODOO or BANG, with VOODOO sounding flat and BANG sounding overcooked. HD has that same element that BRIDGES has only with much better songs, which is probably why people have liked HD so much.

Good analysis

Really? To me it's just more of his incoherent rambling.

Voodoo sounds 'flat?' I'm assuming you agree with that so what does it mean? Is it the flattest sounding Stones album in your opinion or are there others that I should know about?

Ask yourself why you praise such drivel.

Such drivel.

Your response, Sway1967, waffles on cognitive dissonance.

You're not able - or are purposely choosing not to - understand what I said, which, forgive me for saying such a thing, "incoherent rambling" is an

opinion

You don't like it.

I respect that. I respect "drivel".

Perhaps you're a bit stuck in the past? I don't really know. Maybe 1967 reveals?

I'm am totally at open arms upon receiving otherwise and learning - iorr knows, in places, all too well, that I am an @#$%& about DIRTY WORK.

You clearly missed the point. So I will respond, with your whatever in italics:

In absolute regard to its (the album alone) existence in place of The Rolling Stones' discography. There's absolutely zero about that that is "incoherent rambling". It's specific. I'm sorry you couldn't understand that aspect. I thought I was clear.

What does 'it has a country song that takes, rather than just sits there' mean?

If you can't get that I don't know what else to tell you. But I will help: Faraway Eyes was (is) cheeky, at the time, but since then is great silly. Dreamy Skies is, from what I can tell, from the heart.

Big difference.

What does 'Where as Bridges was them attempting to be modern, at times' mean?

If you can't understand that there's nothing to say.

VOODOO is a waffle or pancake: not much to it. It indeed sounds flat. The only other album that comes close to that sound is, bizarrely, BLACK AND BLUE, which, given its clarity, is a rather flat sounding album. The beauty is it's more clear.

My "incoherent rambling" is entertaining and baffling. Without going too into it, perhaps get another opinion, say, by Dandelion. There may be an understanding that you could find a way to appreciate. More so of purpose than taste, because, as the saying goes, "there's no accounting for taste".

If you choose to stay on your view, fine. Consider anything I say to be "incoherent rambling" and don't bother. Or do. And deal with other.

I've been whatever about whatever and have been told, in whatever ways, and have found otherwise because of... we're all humans. No opinion is better. No opinion is better. There are no trophies for opinions.

No reason to act like people are getting trophies. We're all "just saying" except, unlike that saying, we back it up, regardless of taste, and not empty unreasoning and lies.

I wonder if Darryl wasn't really available, or if it was just a happy coincidence? This is the best bass on a Stones album since Steel Wheels. Even Andrew Watt's playing is better on their albums than they've had in decades. I wonder if they'll buckle under and use Darryl if they put out another album. That would make me sad, because the bass was really 'there' on Hackney Diamonds. It got the emotional underpinning their records have sorely missed since Bill walked away.

I suppose you fancy yourself creative, a poet or entertainer of sorts, but that response was drearily predictable.
You get called on your verbal diarrhea so you double down on it. Even worse, you try to shrug off 17,000 posts of self-indulgent nonsense as just another guy offering his opinion.

You’re a selfish SOB. Show this forum a little respect and take the time to express yourself in a coherent manner…Please.
It’s not too much to ask. I shouldn’t have to ask.

The Grammy's will be on this evening from 8:00-11:30 pm. Does anyone know about when in the broadcast, the "Best Rock Album"will be announced? I know they won already but would like to see the award when it's televised.
