Title: This time they mean it
Review: It's a wonderful surprise when your expectations are bettered by a band. After "Bridges to Babylon" I wasn't expecting much, but this album is the Stones playing with passion, conviction and an energy that a band one third of their age would envy.As always Charlie Watts is awe inspiring, Keith Richards and Ron Wood play with ferocity but its Jagger that really impresses this time. He is singing with none of the awful affectation of the later day Stones and is speaking from thje heart, mixing rage, heartbreak and one of the best sneers in music.Stylistically they stay exactly where they are comfortable - blues, country and full ahead rock 'n roll. Outstanding tracks include: Oh No Not You Again, Back of My Hand, She Saw Me comming and Sweet Neo Con.I know its fashionable to sneer at "strolling bones" but get over it, because they sure have. If you like great music, played with heart this is an album that will not dissapoint - it's really great to have the Stones back again!
