I'm expecting no better with this one.
maybe its a good idea to give it a listen without prejudice?
ive said it before here on interference, the stones in fact have made great music post some girls. to me, voodoo lounge is a great album and steel wheels has several fantastic moments. lets not even get into discussion on tattoo you, which is among the best the stones have ever done. but, of course, there have also been weaker albums. undercover, dirty work and bridges to babylon aren't their best efforts to put it mildly. but even those albums have their moments.
i for one have never said that bridges to babylon was the best in years and later said differently.
but this time: woohoo - a bigger bang truely is the biggest stones bang in a looooooooooooong time and i sincerely doubt that my opinion will change.
a bigger bang is far greater and more consistent than any of the post tattoo you albums. i cannot say whether or not eventually i will rank it beside some girls/tattoo you or even above! the album is that good.
its a very diverse record. at this point, my personal faves are:
rough justice a+ rocker
rain fell down a+ dance track
biggest mistake a+ ballad
infamy a+ keith crooner
but: the best stones song in probably quite a few decades: laugh i nearly died a++++++++
people, people, peeps: go listen to that one - it could fit right in on exile on main street side 4
btw hi soldatti i see you post quite a bit on the rocks off forum; myself im a lurker over there
btw2 u2 could only wish it could make such a great album 43 years in their carreer - i really hope they do!! at this stage, i honestly think a bigger bang beats atyclb and htdaab by a landslight (not pop)
