A bit too much "polish" is the one thing that perhaps affects the whole album a little.

Compared to the 4 albums that preceded HD? It boggles my mind how anyone can come to this conclusion. Polish compared to Steel Wheels or Bridges or Bigger Bang????
Haha! Seriously???

I don't listen to those albums either. And why would I?
I like a few songs on them, but they are the exceptions.

Whatever those exceptions are, I agree.

Certainly it's different, though.

There's the obvious and there's the deeply subjective.

I didn't like Rain Falls Down for a while. Then I heard something and said, Ok.

VOODOO LOUNGE doesn't have that. That entire album reeks of 'Well we're being The Rolling Stones!' yet...

Exceptions. The occasional great or good song.

Unlike anything on VL or even BRIDGES or BANG, with one exception, there's a looser feel. Unlike anything on VL or BTB it resonates. Verse wise Mick plays around but the chorus, well...

"Talk to me, pour your secrets out
Tell me I'm the only man you ever dream about"

I don't think it's age. It's just being human.

Musically I understand the comparison to Slave but... slow down Dangerous Beauty from BANG.

It's inevitable, right? Sad Sad Sad is Brown Sugar inverted. Some have said Neighbours is Send It To Me (or something, really trying to remeber).

I've seen whatever, how Jumpin' Jack Flash is Satisfaction backwards.

It isn't.

There might've been another song...

It happens. Sleep Tonight is the bridge from Coming Down Again.

Keith's Illusion is Baby Break It Down. A turn around seeing that Love Is Strong is Wicked As It Seems. But Keith's solo idea of that riff, etc, melody, goes a lot further.

At least how Keith heard it.

My favorite song the Stones have put out in year, love it!

I don't know if it's my favourite, but it's amazing and I can tell you for sure that my favourite going back decades would be on HD.

Diamenty Hackneya!

It's no more Polish than any other album post-Kimsey.

It's British, and a tad polished winking smiley

We are on the same track, though I'd move Get Close and Depending to classic status.

What an absolutely awesome album.
