Negative Positive
Title: At least as bad as they say, if not worse
Review: Okay, I love the Stones but this is INEXCUSABLE. When the best part of an album is a thirty-second snippet of a piano solo not even credited on the album sleeve, you know you're in trouble. Seriously, this is so drenched in annoying '80's production (Winning Ugly; Back to Zero; title song; Sleep Tonight), and so utterly generic (Fight; Hold Back; Had it With You), with so many bad ideas (Too Rude, neither the first nor the last near-unlistenable Stones reggae song), it's hard to believe it's the Stones. But it is - this makes Goats Head Soup look like Sticky Fingers. The only memorable song is One Hit (to the Body), which even then is far from a classic. Harlem Shuffle's nothing to get excited about, but it's fun, though rudimentary. Skip this one, since not even the best song is essential.
