Title: "Bang" is a blast
Review: Not trying to force anything revolutionary or chart-busting, the Stones wind up hosting an intimate little party of an album. All the friends you've come to know and love are here -- the ballsy rockers, the funk work-outs, the blues blasts, the swaying ballads. And the Stones treat all of them to playing that's pretty much unparalleled at this point. This is a band that actually sounds like a band -- the instruments talk to each other, the songs tilt and swerve, the energy is authentic. "Bang" isn't the orgy that was "Exile" or "Sticky Fingers" or "Some Girls." But it is a good time.
