QuoteMonkeyMan2000 QuoteStoneage Quotedonvis After reading the booklet in the blu ray box, it seems like Keith was the impetus for: Get Close Depending on You Driving Me Too Hard and Tell Me Straight. Mick was the impetus for the other 7 originals. Not really a solo Mick album at all. Driving Me Too Hard and Tell Me Straight are generic Keith songs. The other ones sound more Jaggerish. G

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

QuoteJumpingKentFlash Fave tracks on a very strong album: Sweet Sounds Of Heaven. Tell Me Straight. Rolling Stone Blues. Whole Wide World. Angry. Every guest is on point and not overused. The sax in Get Close is reminiscent of Ernie Watts. It’s absolutely stunning to make this that late in the game. SSOH could’ve been on EOMS, not because it’s gospel/soul, but because it actually has the

QuotePutty I just spend about 15 minutes reading the comments on the YouTube video of Gaga and The Stones. All incredible comments and some very personal and touchy comments of old people, some sick, finding unexpected joy with their favorite band once again. Maybe one last time.

Quotepowerage78 Definitely a good album, full of energy and desire, which for me is the most important thing. Contagious enthusiasm, I'd say. We're in 2023, and we're talking about a new Stones album. It's pretty incredible all the same. How it will age and fit into the band's discography, we'll see. In a good place, I think.

Agree, the problem with that Pitchfork review is that the tone is so aggressive that the piece ceases to be a review, points good or arguable get blurred away not very pro in my opinion when the ego takes over like that

kind of "review". as many say (from both sides here) it takes time to assess the album in the big picture of a 60 years catalogue, this is the time of first impressions, even if you spin it 100 times in a single day. love or hate. my first impressions. I enjoy spinning side A as a whole, no deep downs and a big up "Get Close". Also "Get Angry" has grown as good si

I understand people noticing the differences soundwise.
