Quotemaumau QuoteLorenzAgain It’s interesting, I have the division at home too. I love it, my girlfriend thinks it’s a bunch of Mick solo songs, overproduced and forgettable except for the blues song and Sweet Sounds That it is a bunch of Mick'solo songs/ideas of songs I think Keith himself has admitted. Exceptions: Rolling Stone Blues, Tell me straight and Driving me too hard that has bee

Not another one!

I really like that they don’t have Keith singing the last song. To have Tell Me Straight followed by Sweet Sounds of Heaven followed by Rolling Stone Blues… that is a masterclass in song sequencing. To me the album starts off very strong, dips a little in the middle and absolutely kills it in the end.

Quotewaterrats Quotemaumau when was the last time they played a gig to launch an album? Wasn't that this university for Bigger Bang ?? That was for launching a tour, although they did play Oh No Not You Again. It was at Juilliard I think…

That sax solo on Get Close… man that’s cool. It sounds like Jake from E Street.

They’re really out there at the moment… it’s a bit of a shame they’re doing Fallon exclusively though. Imagine how great they’d be on Graham Norton…
Forum: Tell Me

Hairball’s passed? One of the greats have left! And on September 9 you say? That means he likely saw the Hackney Empire press junket with Fallon, and left us three days later. I take comfort in the fact that he likely knew something good was coming up, and he also likely heard Angry… RIP Hairball

Give it time lads. There was always going to be high praise from the beginning. I reckon they bought some reviewers out. The album is what it is, and from what I’ve heard, it’s the best album we could expect this late in the game. You need to give it time. Lots of time…

QuotePaintMonkeyManBlack Keiths guitar on Rollin Stone Blues sounds more awesome than possible. My first thought as well. And it’s cool to have Mick doing harp fills.

Quotedrewmaster Bringing this thread back to the song itself, I'm starting to develop a very strange, two-part conclusion about SSOH. #1 - SSOH is their greatest song ever. Or it is, at least, their grandest and most soul-stirring and uber-epically-amazing recording ever. (Is there anyone, even on this board, who hears it and is not stirred by it? I doubt that!) #2 - It is flawed. Li

I’ve heard all snippets so far. I’ve yet to hear something I dislike. That’s really interesting, ‘cause I’ve had gripes with all their latter day albums (mostly length and quality control). It bodes well for Hackney Diamonds.

QuoteLorenzAgain How good is quality? Might not listen if it’s just a bad recording. It’s not a good recording, but it’s good enough. For someone who has been listening to Robert Johnson on tape, I’m not complaining.

It looks absolutely tacky. They should have had the three of them do the EN Hitmakers pose on a black background. The Stones hasn’t had a good artwork since Some Girls if we only talk studio albums. Count everything in and I’d say maybe Some Girls Live In Texas.

Did I miss something, or is Mick Taylor not a guest on the album? I thought they’d have him on a song… a bit of a shame when he’s still around and still playing good. It’s shaping up to be a cool album with great guests and even Rolling Stone Blues (I cannot wait to hear that one). All that taken into account, Taylor should have added a few licks in my opinion. Too bad, but it doesn’t take awa

The song is great, though a tad, just a teeny weeny tad, underwhelming in all its Wandering Spiritesque Jagger-At-his-noisiest. But I like it, it’s good! The video… I will never understand the need for a young lady dancing through it all. The billboards coming alive is a cool effect, but it’s really just following the usual RS formula of a young woman in place of Jagger (Doom & Gloom), rid
