If something is missing, than it would be producing-wise!
The production of Tattoo You was fabulous... nothing after that comes close. But music-wise... they made some really great stuff:
Mixed Emotions, Terrifying, Almost Hear You Sigh, Hearts For Sale, Slipping Away, She Was Hot, Undercover Of The Night, One Hit, Harlem Shuffle, Love Is Strong, Brand New Car, Out Of Control, Biggest Mistake, Laugh I Nearly Died, This Place Is Empty, etc etc

First thing I miss is the sound of Bill.. his bass was really upfront during his days. Nowadays I can't even hear the bass as a seperate part.

i get it IORR actually hates the stones, and all of their recent work! get out of the past and enjoy a decent album and a damned good live tour!

didn't keith say I never comment on the new album cos 10 years later everyone will be comparing the next new one to it and telling me how much better that one was than the new one

that "something" is called song-writing.....

You mean like "I'm a flea bit peanut monkey" ?

yeah, of course , keith never comments on 'new' records....and why should it matter what 'keith says' anyway? Is he a sage or something?

So, let me get this right - its several years too early (based on a criteria devised by a guy who MADE it and who has a different perspective than you or I) for some people to rip the shit out of the record because they DONT like it, yet its perfectly OK to rave about it if you DO?

I love it, but I guess I shouldnt 'come out' and admit that until around 2015...
