It's a pity that they donīt play it. Itīs one of these "hidden" gems. Mick sings so great, such nice lyrics. Great guitars, great drumming, everything is good in the song. Iīm addicted to this one. |

The rockers are not the problem with Undercover. They're all up to the standard of A Bigger Bang, some superior. Undercover was only 10 tracks, while ABB was 16. Imagine ABB with its 10 best tunes; an A- up from a B+ in my mind though cause the quality's spread out over the album (make it Rough Justice, It Won't
Take Long, Rain Fall Down, Oh No Not You Again, Back of My Hand, Biggest Mistake, Driving Too Fast, Laugh I Nearly Died, Dangerous Beauty, Infamy sounds like a great one).
Undercover's mediocrity, for me, lies in the fact I just don't like the one-dimensional funk crap of "Pretty Beat up," "Feel on Baby" and "Too Much Blood." A foreshadowing of the urban-centric salsa-esque junk Mick did on his first couple albums as well as the infamous Dirty Work. The rest is alright stuff. Of the rockers:
Great-She Was Hot, Too Tight
Good-All the Way Down, Wanna Hold You
Okay-Tie You up (The Pain of Love), Undercover
subpar-It Must Be Hell (generic riff, unconvcing melody, more lyrics about world poverty from St. Mick) |

There's some good postin' in it Ronnie. Great postin'!
THe only thing we don't agree is the fact the I love the whole album and such songs like "Too Much Blood" don't bother me. |

I love it. Weak lyrics, great music. |

I absolutely love this track. I wish they would play it at one of the club gigs- if they have any this summer. |

The great thing about All The Way Down is Mick's snotty "Shattered" persona during the verses of the song, love it!! This song along with "She Was Hot", "Too Tough" and the title cut are the highlights of the album for me. |

I like it.It got the same vibe of Let Me Down Slow. |
|

| Saint Sway |
I'd rank as the 5th best song they've written with "All" in the title. |
|

| Soldatti |
Thy'll never play this song, it's very hard to do and could be a mess in the middle part. |

A very good track on a relatively weak album. |

I think they could handle it live, if they can pull of Out Of Control, Midnight Rambler and CYHMK live, they can do this one too. It won't be played live as they've pretty much abandoned their 80's material outside of Start me Up, She's So Cold and Worried About You. |

that used to be my "quoteline" on this board and time is an issue for me. i have always said undercover does not get the credit it deserves. the guitar riffs on "all the way down" just rage. |

Mediocre song on one of the worst Stones albums ever. |
