There’s a noticeable dropoff at Bridges to Babylon (including to Mick’s voice, but I know that happens)... do that and A Bigger Bang have their fans?
Anyway, I’m pleased to discover how good they remained on record, into the ‘90s (and beyond?). Tattoo You is the only post-‘78 album that I love all the way through — but man, you could put together one hell of a 2CD comp of choice cuts from the others.

I haven't kept up with / saw no reason to keep up with post-'78 Stones, but I listened to A Bigger Bang a couple of times and was extremely surprised at how decent it was. With past Stones records, when the singles were rolled out (with the requisite hype), I just thought, meh, more dull-ass Stones shit; if "Harlem Shuffle" or "Has Anybody Seen My Baby?" is the lead single, there's little hope for anything great lurking elsewhere on the record. But "Rough Justice" and "Streets of Love" are...good. Very good, even.
