But with a couple of exceptions the post-TY albums don't disgrace their legacy like IOR&R or GHS do.
There's only been a couple albums post-TY!

kind of amazing, considering it's been 30+ years since TY, which was less than 20 after their debut

the superb writeup of the Stones in the 1990 RS guide stressed the craft of their 80s work & pointed out how that's a judged a positive by regular fans of country & blues, genres for which the Stones had considerable sympathy

at this point any exploration of albums after Tattoo You would be done for case study

yeah, undercover is semi-defensible. i like all three of the singles (including "too much blood"). any serious investment in the later albums has to be some combination of masochism, nostalgia and barefaced challops.

It just sounds like reheated hooks to me, and Mick's weird barky vocals really get on my nerves. To be fair, I haven't given them an earnest, non-prejudiced listen but I don't know if you understand how much it hurts to hear that stuff, given how much I loooooooooooove the 60's-70's Stones.
And I don't want danceable Stones, like nightclub dancing Stones. Outside of Miss You I can really live without that.

Aside from Angie & Starfucker GHS is listless.

GWS' flirtation with decadence sounds more jaundiced and cynical than Jagger in DW "honestly" writing and singing about his ambivalence about privilege.

the murky production works superbly on Angie though, you can hear other vocals, distant moans, bleeding through.

I hear "Angie" and think lol American critics thought Bowie was a mannered vocalist?
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 1 April 2012 01:59 (1 year ago) Permalink
it's about the piano imo, & the haunted background. isn't he singing about fucking Bowie's wife too?
― Euler, Sunday, 1 April 2012 02:01 (1 year ago) Permalink
when we were young the story was that Mick had fucked Bowie in a threesome with Angie; maybe Rod was there with the hamster & they all got thir stomach pumped the next morning
― Euler, Sunday, 1 April 2012 02:02 (1 year ago) Permalink
or fucking with Bowie

just listened to GHS today. it's a solid fucking record. fewer great songs than what preceded but the filler is really good filler and "winter" is all-time, unless you blame it for the counting crows.
makes a nice bookend with Satanic Majesties around the crazy-mojo peak.

There's nothing wrong with GHS at all, and even the 'worst' songs are nowhere near as unlistenable as the later period Stones stuff that Alfred stans for that I object to.
Winter's beautiful.

Goats Head Soup is better than its reputation. It's Only Rock 'n Roll, on the other hand, blows.
A Bigger Bang is great. It's one of the two or three best records they've made since 1972.

I do like Bigger Bang. I dont have any favorite tracks but I can listen to it without sadly shaking my head

Submitted my HR-heavy ballot - in the end I just didn't have much desire to hunt down great album tracks that I know I'll get around to eventually. The problem is that I've known and loved the obvious selections on that comp for so long that it would take weeks or months of repeated listens for me to feel similarly about a deep cut here or there. I could vote for tracks I heard and liked based on recommendations ITT, but that would mean bumping songs I've cherished for a dozen years or more. Think it's more important to be honest about what you love.

The making of "One Hit" video, it should be noted, was filmed right in the middle of Charlie's short but very intense drug phase.

I was gonna say, he seemed to be in pretty bad shape in that interview. Every other interview of his I've seen, he's been extremely gregarious and engaging.

<3 charlie. "short but very intense" is the way to do yr drug phase, imo. so long you come out ok on the other end.
