Negative Positive
Title: Not his best by far.
Review: I love the Stones and have always been willing to check out the solo releases, but in the years since this arrived I have yet to be able to listen to it all in one sitting. The single "Let's Work" is a cheesey working class singalong, and "War Baby" has one of his most ridiculous lyrics, "I was born in a war, so they call me a war baby." Aside from "Throwaway and "Shoot off Your Mouth," this record lacks what every good Stones record or great rock and roll record has -- a good groove. Two many of these songs feel stiff, without the ability to swing. Get started with Wandering Spirit, where Mick successfully mixed rockers, blues stomps, ballads, and his own take on country to much better effect. Not to mention, this has to be one of the ten worst album covers of all time in ANY genre.
Is the review positive or negative?
