Keith's two songs + Love Is Strong are the last true Stones classics.
However, the album is wildly uneven..
Sweethearts Together is pure crap..
You Got It Made should have been on it... |

Keith's two songs are magnificent - especially 'Thru & Thru'. That bit where the drums first kick in and the way he GROWLS 'we're OHHHHHH-PEN 24 hours baby' later on give me goosbumps every time. I was there the night he debuted it at Madison Square Garden in 2002, too - and he nailed it first time. Best song on the album IMO.
agree that its uneven - just a bit too long, but with it being their first album in 5 years they had recorded a lot of songs and just wanted to throw on a few extras. |

I thought he nailed it perfectly when I seen it live for the first time as well in Chicago in 2003.
Great song! |

It was used very effectively as the final song in the series of "The Sopranos" around that time, as I recall.
Thats around the time I stopped subscribing to the Undercover digest. Couldnt believe people were asking - having seen the Sopranos episode - what this great song was and which of his solo albums it was on..... |

I really like the album a lot. I like the live version of thru & thru much better than the studio version though. The studio version kinda drags and doesn't really create that ambiance that the live version does. The worst is killer, too. Mick's vocals create a really nice touch. Love is strong is a great groover and I REALLY love YGMR. The solo is awesome and I love the way it ends with Mick screaming on top of the riff and slide guitar until it just falls apart. Brand new car would be a lot better if it was about a chick rather than a car imo. |

but it IS about a chick - the whole song is a metaphor about having a new 'squeeze'....
all that 'open the hood' and 'check if the oil smells good', 'smells like caviar' stuff etc... |

I think the song would've been better if it were about neither a car nor a chick. |

Their best album post Tattoo You, Love Is Strong is their last "near classic" song, YGMR is good, Keith's songs are very good, I Go Wild rocks like hell, Baby Break It Down is nice, Out Of Tears is a pretty ballad, a couple of dead dogs there but overall 11-12 great songs.
Post TY albums IMO:
Undercover - 6.5/10
Dirty Work - 7/10
Steel Wheels - 6/10
Voodoo Lounge - 7.5/10
Bridges To Babylon - 5/10
A Bigger Bang - 4/10 |

I completely reject those ratings. COMPLETELY. Your praise for Baby Break It Down says it all. |

right on, amigo
that's actually one of my fav's from VL, love all the dirty innuendo, good and sleazy just like a Stones song should |

There's an alternate take of it on one of the VL bootlegs which is basically a duet between Mick and Keith and which is much better, I think. |

The outtakes are better imho and have such a better groove and feel.Stew/Brew whatever...Love Is Strong live from New Orleans 94 is amazing and they should have kept working it cause it had Rambler potential... |

I guess JB hijacked every thread yesterday...
And what is the RO World gonna do now that he has mastered it!!
On topic:
Voodoo Lounge and the outtakes is good Stones!! Only weak links in my opinion are New Faces, Mean Disposition, and Blinded By Rainbows. I must admit I am sick of You Got Me Rockin and The Worst, but that is just because they need to take a rest in the concert rotation.
And we do have the Moon Is Up Appreciation Club- right Egon?!! |

Oh you always have something to gloat about, my Friend...
We of the Moon Is Up Appreciation Club (secret handshake and all) will never have that to brag about. Of course you can join our little club and will automatically be made President..given you are the only one to have heard it "Live" |

Agreed...I'm listening now to a remastered compilation I made about 4 years ago, which includes some of the boot stuff...I did good work...but I have to give the Stones all the credit..I like all those "weak links" you mentioned...Not so fond of Moon is Up (although I like Egon - but not like that), I Go Wild and Baby Break it Down |

Ach...sure when you've heard the only live renditions of Keith singing "Its a Long Way To Tipperary" and "Loch Lomond" just a week apart, 'Moon is Up' pales in comparison...  |

VL always puts me to sleep - great production though - I like Love Is Strong, The Worst & Thru And Thru - the rest is average at best.
I've mentioned this before - the best songs from Wandering Spirit & Main Offender would've made for a MUCH better record.
The dropoff in quality from TY to what came after is so steep that calling something the "best since TY" is hardly an endorsement.
Just keeping it real.... |
