Rolling Stone Blues is clearly my fave track on the album so far, followed by Dreamy Skies and Live By The Sword. If it wasn't for Gaga's awful shrieking, Sweet Sounds Of Heaven would come in a close second. Great album though, still growing.

I haven't heard the track yet (and I won't for another 2 weeks) but its reception here as well as in the media outside of this little bubble is overwhelmingly positive. What I don't get is that some fans are worried about the single's projected charts-performance. With the way charts are being compiled nowadays they're completely meaningless. Have been for years.

@ matxill So you reckon all the over-sensitive snowflakes and self-pitying crybabies are spokespersons for the "anti-woke" crowd? Seriously? That's absurd. Really looking forward to Bill Maher returning soon btw, now that the writers strike is drawing to a close. About time, too.

It is my belief that all voices have a right to be heard. If you don't agree, then debate it; challenge it; and create a broader discussion. Cancel culture is real, and it really shouldn't be.

If that is his opinion based on his experience, you can confront him with your own worldview and criticise him all you want. But penalising and cancelling him for voicing his opinions, however wrong and prejudiced they seem to be, is sick and deplorable.

QuoteMononoM They had enough time now to get more capacity to make vinyl records.. I think they just keep the prices up because we're buying anyway... Doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Think again.

Mostly because there's too much demand, not nearly enough pressing capacities. That also explains rising prices.

As for all the YouTube, iTunes, Spotify et. al. statistics: I couldn't care less. Don't use any of those myself, anyway. In fact, I don't listen to digital crap. At all.

More importantly, "Angry" has found its provisional position in my personal Top50 Stones-45s (UK releases only) at #23. To add a bit of context: #22 is "One Hit (To The Body)" while "No Spare Parts" follows at #24. Not exactly pole position then but very good, indeed. Looking forward now to "Sweet Sounds Of Heaven" despite of the Gaga woman guesting. Tryin&

The Rolling Stones. Always. Like on all of their sixties records. "The Rolling Stones" (their 1st LP), followed by "The Rolling Stones No.2" (their 2nd LP)... When the article "The" gets dropped, something is definitely missing. An integral part of the band identity. As a fan of sixty+ years I don't like that. At all. Then again, there may be more importan
