Dirty Work may suck, but Charlie is on fire on that one. As is Mick and the gee-tars. But for a good half of the album, the Stones are in stinky mode anyway. Upon first impressions, I wanted to give a C-minus to DW but have eased up on it and think it deserves a C+ cause of some real ballsy rockers.

The 5 or 6 best songs off of DW are better than the top 5-6 from Undercover but Undercover as a whole is a better listen.
Keith's ballads are the cream of the 80s crop for the Stones: All About You, Sleep Tonight, Almost Hear You Sigh, Slipping Away.

Watts is not drumming on Dirty Work. The song, that is.

funny, but DW is one album where for me the drumming isnt as good as normal. 'Fight' being the main culprit where it drags down what is otherwise a potentially decent track.
And Mick's vocals were never more horrible than on that album. That 'barking' Sgt-Major style he developed for much of that decade was his nadir as a singer. The unlistenable 'Hold Back' being a prime example.
the guitar sound is good on it as is the sneering attitude, but its a bit pointless if the songs arent there - which for the most part, they arent.

Everything you hate in DW I love! The drums sound is a bit strange, of course, but I like it anyway. And "Fight" for me is more than a decent song: it´s a overlooked kick ass rocker.
The only REAL weak moment is "Too Rude" and that awful echo drumming.

I agree with the opinion that the vocal technique bombed completely on 'Hold Back', but it worked very well on 'Fight' and, especially, 'Had It With You'--where Jagger just spits the lyrics out with venom. I miss that.

Yeah, he gets away with it on those two as it suits the snarling lyrical content (and on 'had it with you' he doesnt quite wring the neck out of the vocal anyway).
I think 'Fight' really could have been a terrific song in the hands of a different producer, with a better mix or drum sound

Agree, Jagger is terrific on Fight and Had It With You.
Same goes for Dirty Work, and one of the best songs of that album...One Hit.
Sleep Tonight is for me, one of the most beautiful songs with Keith on vocals...it's up there with Coming Down Again and Hate It When You Leave.
If we just could have Dirty Work in a different mix...well, we got the outtakes at least.

The mix on the outtakes is far superior IMO. With the possible exception of Emotional Rescue, its the one Stones album where the outtakes are generally better than the released product.
Wouldnt quite have worked, though as you would have had an album with Keith on lead vocals on at least half of the songs. Not quite what CBS would have been hoping for on the first Stones album of their record breaking $30 million plus deal.

Yes that's true.
I'd like to include the new Monitor Mixes 1989 into that outtakes-surpasses-the-official-album category.
At least if one edited some of the longer songs of those SW-outtakes. Much better sound, more cool licks and better vocals.
If one listen to the alternate Heart For Sale, a prime-example..., and then put on the official version...the difference is amazing.
There's only 2-3 songs which were better on the released product.
