fun thing, my wife really does not like the Stones. It's "to old", "not modern" etc. She is really into radio music. I have pretty much listened to the new album with a headset, because she dont like the music to much.
But in the mornings I wake up the kids by playing music over wi-fi in their rooms. Second chorus (she have never heard it before) she started singing the chorus. It is really sticky. No wonder it is the most streamed one from fridays release.
Your post reminds me of the other day. I was playing HD to my lady. She is a musician too, and knows the Stones pretty well. She immediately started singing along with 'Whole World' chorus; 'Mess it Up' chorus, and started laughing at 'Driving me too Hard' b/c she said it sounds like every song Keith ever wrote. But she was kind of rolling her eyes at having to sit through the whole album. And it made me wonder how many significant others from the IORR board alone had to go through the same ordeal. How many wives/ husbands had to endure the whole
"Listen top this part here", "okay here comes the good part".

tried a lot to listen to this, to give it a chance but...
no way, it's the track to skip for me.
in a record filled with nice hooks and good catchy refrains, this is where they crashed below the par big time, to my earsùwent back to too much blood to feel the funky disco stones again
luckily is the first on side B so it is easy to do that when I turn the record on the plate

A grower, and one of the best tracks on the album. It flows so well (the album too). The snippet a while back didn`t tell much of how great it is.

The Stones have tackled soul, blues and funk, so why not disco?

MESS IT UP – oh my, I love that track.
The way, Keith connects Mick´s lines in the verses with his chords and licks: just great!
The chorus makes me think of EMOTIONAL RESCUE, the song. It has a natural flow and directly hits my spine. It finishes my cerebralized perception of Stones music.
And Charlie is the master of the engine room. He stokes the fire and makes the machine pump on all cylinders.

Where do you hear Keith on Mess It Up? I can't hear him at all.

The rhythm guitar on the left clearly sounds like Keith to me except for the bridge and the coda which sounds a bit too funky for Keith.

I thought so, too, but if so Andrew took over that channel with his guitar. And if he did that, it's the most seamless overdub I've ever heard.

During the verses I'm quite sure it's Keith also on guitar. Maybe also the guitar in the chorus that just hits long chords could be him. But then it's probably Andrew who takes over the funky part in the bridge and the outro, but his guitar is situated at the very same spot in the stereo image as Keith's during the verses so you don't really notice the change. The bright, high lead notes in the outro sort of sound like Ronnie imitating Keith's soloing...

Channeling Steel Wheels all the way! Four ear-worm sections one after another. Big Blondie vibes on this one. It's silly, but so well crafted that it works.

"Mess It Up" is growing on me after 5 or 6 listens. I am really enjoying its funk and groove, though I still wish the Stones had incorporated the original version of that "Really Wanna Tell The Truth" snippet into the song instead of altering it. Still, it's a pretty good track, better than "Angry" in my humble opinion.
Does the rumour still exist that this song will soon be announced as the album's third single?
