Guys, this is an album recorded in 2023 and Mick wanted it to sound like it was recorded and mixed in 2023. If you want an album to sound like 2023 then having it a bit brickwalled and compressed is part of its sonic identity. Its another thing if an old recording gets remastered and compressed some decades after it was recorded but this album was meant to sound like that. If you like it or n

It's always fascinating to me how one little moment like that can have an impact that changes the world. Yes, the butterfly effect comes to mind. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if Mick and Keith met today, would they be able to have such an impact on the music industry again? Would they play pop music right next to Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran? Or could their magic only work at th

The thing is, Keith has adapted his playing to his condition quite well. He is quite aware of his limitations and what he can still do and knows where he can still shine.

What's far more difficult IMHO is the question "Bridges to Babylon vs Hackney Diamonds". I'd go for Hackney here at the moment, but surely some time needs to pass before you definitely can say how they compare

Quotejahisnotdead Perhaps the Jordan vs. Watts approach deserves its own thread. It's an interesting subject. From what I see, on the album credits Don Was is credited with producing the drums on Live By The Sword. So, if everything else was re-recorded, isn't it by definition Keith Richards following Charlie Watts instead of the inverse? Unless there's some studio trickery involve
