QuoteDandelionPowderman Quotenoughties This is the Achilles heel of the album. I heard it from day one. What do you mean? It`s quite a common expression. Achilles heel = weak point.

The riff is too modern sounding to me. The sweet noise (Ronnie?) too. Is this song Stonesey? It sounds a bit foreign.

Hackney Diamonds has got a very mixed reception, contrary to my expectations. At that musical site, you get "everything". -From the most grumpy casual fan´s "half star" to most the ecstatic impulse based "five stars". The site is a field day for the most unknowledgeable amateur.That said, well known musical landmarks by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd get lo

This new song is better than the previous 2 new songs in the Anthology series from the 90s, IMO.

A grower, and one of the best tracks on the album. It flows so well (the album too). The snippet a while back didn`t tell much of how great it is.

No need to be as spesific as "Dark wave". The Clash, U2 and The Alarm... -Say no more. Those who had their most fragile youth in the early 80s, here`s something for you. House occupants with black hair like sun beams, and pale skin, I guess there`s still somebody left of you...

It soon grabbed me as one of the more accessible songs on the album together with "Live By The Sword", and I felt kind of grateful. Now I`m not so sure. One poster here called "Mess It Up" too busy. I don`t agree when it comes to that song, but in hindsight, many of the songs on the album have a lot of "musical ornamentation". Maybe it can be a little too much, l

A grower. One of my fave tracks on the album. There`s some 70/80s vibe. Elton John on piano according to the credits sheet.

-Thanks. That proves that at least there was some difference. Makes me think. My first listens to the edit version on the net were just so precious moments...

I`ve always liked the 5 minutes edit version best, but I don`t know if that is just the long version minus the extended jam at the end.

They don`t put much work into LP covers these days. Opening a gatefold used to mean something. -Not always, but it should, I think.

Quotestrat72I'm old school so I have not heard the album, and will not until I go to HMV on Friday to buy it. Yeah, old school me too. I have been imagineing a queue Friday morning, but then again I guess a new album by the Stones is a niche product these days like any other act. However, will they sell out? Who knows? Nostalgia ain`t what it was either, so I think I have to prepare for an

I`m struck by the routine. Mick has found some ballance between being spontaneous and leaning on routine. Routine makes the shows alike. I watched the posted Vienna show from start to Wild Horses. -And didn`t I hear someone shouting "-wünschen Schlager!" during those first songs?

Quotekeefriffhards Keith's wife was fighting extensive cancer in 2007 and his mother died, it effected him and i think he drank heavily on the 2007 tour and posters on iorr bashed him all over, i never could understand the hatred towards Keith back then, do any of you remember it. Yes, I remember it. I saw the Oslo show. Keith was strirkingly little into it back then compared to now.

There are Pink Floyd "fans" who don`t know the name of neither Roger Waters nor David Gilmour. They bought "The Wall" and a "Best of" (to play in the car) and that`s it. Huh?

Today these albums and others too have got the "classic" tag, which means they are reissued, but quite pricey. I was chasing these albums in the used markeds during the 90s and 2000s on the net and elsewhere. There`s some irony to this.
Forum: Tell Me

Highly recommended. If you`ve got these, you really don`t need much more. After Paul Jones left, the blues was gone, as can be heard on the disappointing 1966 album As Is. Unfortunately I wasn`t able to put in an image of these three albums, but they are Five Faces of Mann (1964), Man Made (1965) and Soul of Mann (1967)

I don`t think they will play as many as 21 songs. I miss more songs from the comback era, the songs with a hit potential. -Besides, more songs from the mid-sixties.
