please..this has to stop..the parties over (2008-05-28)  OKAY iam a massive fan of all the early stones albums..but without jones..or taylor,,nicky hopkins..or stu or even wyman..they have beome a limp boring pretentious joke..no soul..no balls..and very fake..they are in it for the money..the ego..why do they do the same songs exactly the same way every tour???its boring..its awful to see.. WHAT HAPPENED??..... we celebrate the 30th year since the stones made a great album( some girls-which isnt really that good)..and the 35 year since there last great tour 1973 australia...iam a hardcore fan, yes i love them but the reality is theyve been a limp,shtcick, conservative,boring load of rubbish for way to long..some songs done over and over agin..in bill wymans book he tellingly states that in 1977 mick started listening to awful current disco records figuring out what direction the band needed to go in to make hits..and keith stopped caring.doesnt that say something?? the last time i saw the band i walked out totally hating the soulless francise that these guys have become...why is it that dylan, young ,waits, robert plant, levon helm.lenord cohen,johnny cash..all made brilliant albums in the last 20 years but we think its okay to accept this garbage..oh gee wiz they do CONNECTED..AND SHINE A LIGHT....badly..blandly...do not buy this...i give up..i hated it
curate's egg (2008-05-20)  As a Stones fan who's not very enthusiastic about most of their post-Some Girls output, I wasn't exactly drooling in anticipation of this album. But it's safe to say that while it's hardly essential, it does prove, if proof were necessary, that they can still be a very fine rock'n'roll band when they put their mind to it.The trouble is that when they take their eyes off the ball, as they do several times here, they're quite embarrassing.Good things: Ronnie Wood's guitar playing, almost throughout. Charlie. The backing musicians. Keef's rhythm playing. Keef's vocals. Mick's vocals when he stops trying too hard. Shattered; All Down The Line (near perfect - what price a whole set of this quality?); Loving Cup (effective guest appearance from Jack White); Some Girls (better than the original); Champagne & Reefer (superb guest appearance from Buddy Guy); Tumbling Dice; I'm Free. The fact that they clearly haven't overdubbed one iota.Bad things: Keef's lead playing, pretty uninspired most of the time. Mick's ridiculously mannered vocals on quite a few tracks, all the more annoying given there's nothing obviously wrong with his voice - though notice the absence of any tracks requiring falsetto. As Tears Go By. Christina Aguilera - she can sing, but Live With Me isn't a duet. Sympathy For The Devil - staggeringly inept compared to some tracks here. Brown Sugar - sounds like they've played it a few hundred times too many.Overall they make a pretty convincing, if not often brilliant, noise much of the time, certainly they don't sound like most of them are over 60 - but more than any other Stones live album this is a warts and all recording and there are plenty of warts. For the most part the stuff that comes off best is the better songs among the less famous tunes. Also worth mentioning - Ronnie and Keef's guitar lines have often been hard to separate; here, Ronnie's in the left speaker and Keef's in the right speaker and you can tell who's doing what.Worth buying if you enjoy latterday Stones, a long way from being their worst album (or live album) but I'm not in a huge hurry to see the film.
Great Album, shameless Scorsese's comments... (2008-05-05)  I cant belive Mr Scorsese just couldnt resist to add a stupid "ok first song!" when the exitement to listen to THE ROLLING STONES AND NOT YOU MR SCORSESE is right on top level.shame shame shame.The album is great and the Stones are playing fast again, I love it. it would be a 5-stars cd if it wasnt for Scorsese's ego to have his voice in a Rolling Stones' cd.
Long Live the Stones! (2008-04-30)  After 2 generations and multiple "new" waves of bright young things heralding the death of the Stones, as the World's Premier Rock Band, they are still going strong. Sure they are a bit worn around the edges but the harsh reality is that it happens to us all. The stones put on a great show, they have a mind boggling back catalogue to draw on which includes a huge number of chart hits as well as songs from iconic albums. One newspaper reviewer I read complained that Far Away Eyes was "...beyond parody..." in this version, the implication being that it was dead serious in the first place and the same reviewer complained about what I think he thought was a new line inserted by Jagger in Some Girls that was there in the original version.The trouble with being around for a long time is that people become over familiar with you and in the Pop/Rock world there is clearly an obsession with the new and with youth. The huge flaw in this belief system it that it assumes that the genre is homogenous and that there is a formula for success which gives each "product" a limited shelf life which as we can see from this evidence is just plain wrong. Complaining that this is not the Stone of the 1960's or 70's is just so pointless and if that is what you want then there is plenty of that already available but if you want to have a record of what they can be like now then this is as good as you can possibly expect.There is a great range of songs here is great and includes some wonderful lead vocals from Keith on songs such as You Got Silver and Connection. I know that in the past some reviewers have tried to make a big thing of Keith's vocal shortcomings but I really love the drawls and slurs. There is something utterly endearing about Keith's vocals that always add something to Stones albums and concerts. Mick is on fine form, and although I could knit pick about his occasional loss of subtlety of his delivery, e.g. the spoken lines in far Away Eyes, he is on excellent form.The sound of the band is pretty good too and amongst that there are some rather good performances from Keith and Ronnie as well as other members of the , Bobby Keys and Darryl Jones are on fine form and The ever reliable Charlie Watts, who provides the solid core and in many ways remains the soul of the Rolling Stones. Long live Charlie and long live the Stones!
A Great Live Album (2008-04-29)  A very interesting choice of unusual tracks. A great version of Far Away Eyes. A must for allStones Fans.
