Title: A good Stones CD
Review: Most of the reviews capture the essence of this new CD, so there is little more to say. To me, though, a couple of items stand out: Jagger's voice is brillant; Keith turns in at least one catchy tune; the guitar work is OK (could have used more of the famous weaving of the 70's work); and the writing is fair. The problem is that these guys have so much more in them that its a shame that they don't exploit it. Listen to Keith's guitar and voicing on Hubert Sumlin's latest work, or for the West African rhythms at the end of Laugh, I Almost Cried. I think you may get what I mean. Hopefully, they will finish this all off one day with a CD that will have each one of them lay down 2-3 tracks of their best. This would be an appropriate end to one fantastic band.
Is the review positive or negative?
