QuoteTheBadRabbit Quotesbetz Guitar work is mediocre, drumming is too loud. Am I the only one who thinks this is a totally vanilla song??? Vanilla and thoroughly forgettable. There's nothing in the song--not a riff, not a drum lick--that makes me want to hear it again. I don't get the feeling that they were even in the same studio together when they recorded it.

QuoteSilver Dagger It's OK but it sounds like a re-modelled hybrid of Start Me Up, Rock And A Hard Place and Sad Sad Sad. I was kinda expecting more as they took so long to come up with it. But it's great to have them back. Well said Mike, and oh how I miss Charlie's swing ... Drew

Quotepowerage78 QuoteStonedRambler QuoteDoxa Yeah, Mick pretty much gives us an answer to many our speculations during all those years in that massive thread we followed the devolopment of the new album. They started almost from a scratch less than a year ago. They seemingly weren't satisfied with the material recorded by then. In the end of the day, during all those (wasted) years they

Quotepeoplewitheyes By the way, once-time Stones biographer Philip Norman was just on BBC Radio 4's PM show casting a very disparaging view of the new single and band as a whole. What's his beef? Interesting. His book about the Stones was so great. Is this BBC segment archived somewhere? Would love to get a link if you have it. Drew

I may have misheard what was said at the press conference, but it sounded like all the tracks on the album are from late 2022 onward? How is that possible if Charlie's drumming is featured on a couple of the tracks? Drew

QuoteHairball Not bad. Better than Don't Stop, but it's a bit reminiscent of Cyndy Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun, or some other bouncy '80's pop hit...maybe something from Huey Lewis and the News. +1 Yes, at first listen, "Angry" is a nice, bouncy, safe-as-milk pop song. Catchy and likeable, I suppose. But I'm hoping other tracks on the alb

QuoteRocky Dijon I recall hearing a lot of the album described as "soulful," but we've also heard it's eclectic. That's really an accurate description for most Stones albums. You don't want all open-G rockers or another album of blues covers or all country or even a fast and slow side again. To me, it's never about what genre they're playing, it just matter

Ok people, what if someone asked you to fill in the blank here? If there is ONE thing I hope for on the new Stones album, it is __________. --> How would you fill in the blank? <-- For me, it would be "lots of raunchy harp from Mick and suspended chords from Keith". Drew

QuoteBjorn I think this is pretty much it. The verse and the chorus will have these B-E-chords - just a bridge between. Like Sweet Thing, Let´s Work, Miss You and a lot of Jaggers solo stuff. Repetitive, something you can dance to. And I dont mind. Just my three cents. And I love that they have a producer, at last - that makes them sound BIG! Like on Steel Wheels. Reverb. It feels like 1989 again

QuoteGetYerAngie Quotedrewmaster What I find interesting (and amusing) is that, if Hackney Diamonds is indeed the album's title, the Stones haven't chosen an album title that in any way reflects how much time has passed since their last one, nor suggests that this could be their last studio album. No sweeping exits here (just as they never say "this is our last tour"). Drew
