Great stuff, Rocky. Yeah, it is like a marriage to dig this band. With all those ups and downs. So human. Although sometimes it feels like a life sentence...

QuoteStoneage The main thing is that they have finally released a new album. That's good enough. Ranking it I would compare it to albums in their latter day production. In line with that.

It is nice to read and listen all those possible references to different sources. Or what kind of resemblances one hears. What is interesting and making 'Whole Wide World' a pretty exceptional new Stones track: the references typically go outside of their own recorded history. Usually, almost every time the instant reference is their old doings. I was and am very impressed that they wer

QuoteRocky Dijon Putting out "Fortune Teller" and "I've Been Loving You Too Long" with fake audience noise was shameful, though hardly unheard of in the 1960s. It would have been better to release the two songs as bonus studio tracks rather than pretend they were performed in concert, but it was a different era and labels and producers didn't care as much about "

Maybe the idea above is to see no point having Macca there if what he does is not something 'special'. Since anyone could have done it.
