How can the Stones even think about putting SOL out as the first single when they have at least 2 killer tracks (RJ,ONNYA) waiting on the sideline?
SOL is an ok album track (the 2005 version of Anybody Seen my Baby) but it is not good enough to be the lead single.
We don't want another episode like Bridges to Babylon where the band picked a "trendy" song (asmb) rather than the best track on the album Saint of Me.
It hurt the album then. And it would kill the new album now.
Bury Streets of Love and release Rough Justice. |

this SOL dilemma is like when you pick your nose and dig out a real nasty, dangly booger that you can't flick off, so you then wipe it off against your jeans, but its so nasty and dangly that it sticks to you jeans, so you gotta rewipe it to properly dispose of it out of site under a desk or something, but then when you try to do that you wind up smooshing that damn nasty, dangly thing on your fingers again and you can't get it off, so you freak and make a beeline to the nearest bathroom to wash your booger fingers off, all the while looking straight down not making eye contact with anyone who might recognize you and want to shake hands |

good analogy bloozehound - once the bugger is out - it doesn't just dissapear, its already made its mark - like this song.....its just an ugly waste. |

Like Poison Dart, I also feel that Streets Of Love is a poor choice for the first single, though maybe not for quite the same reasons.
My problem with the song been released as the first single is that it's just not Stonesy sounding enough and may alienate some “older” fans. However, that could be a plus point. It's mainly kids who buy singles and where as they may be put of buying a record by some very old and un-cool rockers (In they're opinion!), if they don't recognize it as something they're mums and dads listen too, then there could be hope for the single scraping the top 40!

Get over it guys, this song is better than most of the stuff out there, has a killer hook and is "loose" enough (listen to the sloppy guitars and thumping drums) to please the reasonable fans.
RJ does kick much more ass of course, make a double-A like Faraway Eyes and BoB ! |

Rough Justice is an enjoyable track. I have never disputed that, but it's hardly going to set the music world on fire.
It's better than most of the stuff out there? Have you listened to any of today's guitar bands? I’m sorry, but Rough Justice doesn't hold a candle to ANYTHING released by The Killers, the now deceased Libertines, Kasabian, Razorlight, or any other modern band I happen to like at the moment.

SOL is not good enough to wipe Joey's ass with,,,,if this is the single, I in all candor, know they have no concept of what their fans want. |

We need something in the vein of Midnight Rambler to really rip through the rock and roll scene again! Show the world that they are the best rock and roll band by far STILL!
Wishing Neo Con was going to be some kind of Sympathy for the Devil come Fingerprint File |

Not a good first single at all!
Based on this song the new album shall be called-
Bringing The Weakness. |

Why are some assuming that SOL is the new Stones single? It could well be the B-side. Perhaps Rough Justice is the A-side, or as one would call it, the new single.
Like most all new Stones tracks, or any new song for that matter, I never know how I will end up liking it, because I have to listen to the song over time. Longer then say a day or two. Often a song will grow on me, and a track that I at first didn't care for, will end up being one of my favorite tracks.
I feel so fortunate that I have a new single by these guys, all of these years later. And I am really digging both tracks. New Stones songs, summer of '05 and I love them both. Am I lucky or what? |

More like "8 years to make a dump" |

As far as I know, RJ is the single here in the US -- don't know about other countries. According to FMQB it is the single and that's a pretty reliable source for this sort of information. |

I like bloozehound's booger analogy. I'm frankly embarrassed by SOL. And I don't believe RJ will convert anyone. Just a very unimpressive first coupla salvos by the lads - tsk, tsk, tsk.... |

The thing that REALLY kills SOL are the "awful" lyrics. Literally. Mick uses the word "awful" 4 times in 4 lines - it's gonna make people who are grasping for an adjective to describe the lyrics auomatically come up with "awful".
Did he write this shit with Rob Thomas? Because it sounds like a Matchbox 20 reject.
Seriously, if it had a GOOD set of lyrics, it would still be bad, but as it is it's "awful".
I mean, I don't HATE "Out of Tears". I sure don't like it much but I don't hate it. With decent lyrics SOL coulda been "Out of Tears". Or - what's the ballad on B2B? The one that says poverty is picturesque?
Yes, if only Mick had been given more time to come up with a decent set of lyrics. It's just not fair.
Oy.

I still think a lot of people are being overly Harsh
I think both tracks are great
ALSO I feel privliged that my favourite group are still putting out albums

I think we except any crap they put out and say "it's great". All I know is after 8 years, you would think the first song released wouldn't be some easy listening turd that isn't even good.... |

"Already over me".
Out of Tears is a good track (and was the song on the album that got the best reviews when it came out as I recall) and much superior to that one IMO.
Its ok, but the other 3 ballads on that album (Always suffering, plus Keith's two at the end) are much better) |

Out of Tears on the boot from New Orleans 94 Imperial Heartbreakers is outstanding IMHO....SOL is not! |

Never much a fan of Out of Tears. I do like Always Suffering and the two KR ballads on B2B.
Nothing sounds as dreadful as SOL - NOTHING IN THE RECORDED HISTORY OF THE BAND! |
