Quotematxil QuoteSilver Dagger Spot on Gas. It stands alone on its own merits. The most common argument is that it's not as good as so and so. Why do people feel the need to compare all the time? Do people really want the band to regurgitate the classic Stones' sound from the 70s? I certainly don't. That was then but this is now. It's a great album. This seems to be a misu

Quoteliddas I have a strange relationship with HD. Every single Stones album I bough in my life remained on heavy rotation for at least one month. I can say how much I really like an album by counting how many times I go back to it after that first month of repeated listens and how many songs make me want to pick up the guitar and try to figure out how to play them. I might have listened to

Quotetreaclefingers I find it interesting that with the start of the tour now less than 2 months out, that there's no album promotion or likely singles still to emerge. Was that badly timed? I mean there's nothing quite like a new album and a single on the charts while the band is touring it. It's still on the charts (though falling) in places like Germany but in the US/Canada

Angry – Vacuous lyrics (sad when compared to Mick’s truly provocative lyrics in the 60s and 70s but I suppose we should all be used to it by now) but the mediocrity of the song is partially concealed by the production.
