Quoteliddas QuoteDandelionPowderman IMO, only three ABB-tracks are good enough to be included on HD (RJ, LMDS and LIND). Here I have to disagree! For fun I made a playlist of ABB songs trying to replicate the HD scheme to better compare the two albums. Not necessarily my favs off ABB, I followed HD's track list and tried to find a counterpart in ABB. This is what I came up with R

Quotemjmjr QuoteVoodooLounge13 Really loving Wanting and Waiting. To me it’s better than anything on HD!! It’s got more soul. It rocks. And it sounds authentic. Anyone know who the new lead guitarist is? The video is pretty great too. You can't be serious NURSE!!!!!!! For the love of God get Voodoo's medication sharpish.

What was I expecting for this new Stones album? In all honesty I was hoping for another latter day Stones album at the most. I would have been more than happy with that. From Steel Wheels to A Bigger Bang they have all had some songs that I really liked, some I only liked, some I thought were pretty average, and a few I did not rate. However, after a really good listen to Hackney Diamonds I w

QuoteLondonLee QuoteLondonLee Not a great album, in fact far from it, and feels very much like a mixture of a Mick solo album with a mixture of Stones tracks that weren't released because they weren't deemed decent enough to be put on a B side. 4 excellent tracks - Angry, Sweet sounds... , Tell me Straight and Rolling Stones Blues but for me the rest I'm happy to have listened t

QuoteMonkeyMan2000 Quotekeefriffhards Its ridiculous to say I'm not a Stones fan because i can't understand the new album, i remember how thrilled i was when i first played Steel Wheels and Voodoo Lounge, it's surely okay to be confused by the direction you see 80 year old Keith take. It's not that I'm not a Stones fan it's that this is a Jagger/ Andrew Watts

I don't express an opinion on an album until I've listened to it at least 10 times. However, I can tell you one thing. It was a nice feeling after all these years to go into my local HMV this morning to buy a NEW ROLLING STONES ALBUM.

QuoteRollingFreak QuoteHardRiffin to say that it is not a good album or that it is disappointing seems absurd to me. Free to say so...but absurd. The same way those saying its brilliant, legendary and untouchable are absurd but we all have opinions. The thing is though.......... It could be the best album they have ever made and you would still say it was ****.

I'm old school so I have not heard the album, and will not until I go to HMV on Friday to buy it. Reading the reviews is encouraging though. You know that a lot of critics would love to give The Stones a bad review because The Stones are not social justice warriors, unlike so many critics themselves these days. Boxes are not ticked and they don't like that. The reviews are all similar,

Bad idea for GNR to play Glastonbury in this day and age. It has become a wretched woke middle class festival for right-on university types.

You ask him a day later and he'd say something different... Bob is talking about Rock n Roll bands. The Beatles were truly great, but they are more pop than Rock n Roll.
