The expected Macca/Stones comparions, like the Macca/Jagger comparisons of early 1993.
Excerpts:
"The Stones' album, their first in nearly a decade, contains very few surprises. The lyrics tend to be set in a roisterish demi-monde in which Mick Jagger is forever waking up next to Uma Thurman/Carla Bruni/delete as appropriate, putting on his trousers and laughing to himself about the animalistic magic of it all. Eventually, Keith decides to stake his own claim to being a bulgy-trousered love pirate. 'Come on, bare your breasts/And make me feel at home,' he mumbles on 'This Place is Empty'. What an old devil, eh?"
"In sticking so rigidly to endlessly repeated riff-rock, the whole thing seems to be based on a fatal mistake. McCartney has opted to revive a pared, understated strand in his oeuvre that allows him to act his age. The Stones have their own equivalent, but where are the wizened updates of 'Angie', 'Wild Horses' or 'No Expectations'? It's some distance from addled disaster - but I rather fear that A Bigger Bang will soon be left for the metaphorical seabirds."
It certainly is a shame that Mick can't think of anything interesting to write about these days, especially on glorious musical tracks like "It Won't be Long", this could have been a new "Brown Sugar" with some half decent lyrics about something other thant his dick ! Mick says he loves the internet, why not write about it, or the global warming, or anything !

This sorry excuse for a journalist had no better angle for an album review than compare them with Macca??? Ridiculous. And he manages to write as if he listened to the album with half an ear, while checking his e-mail, ordering pizza and watching the football results on TV. It's not an article, it's a rambling cut-and-paste job. |

For all this guy's faults (unless you're referring to me!) I think everyone here would be happy to see Mick stop writing about his dick ! It's a pity that such a great track like "It won't take long" will be quickly forgotten due to its trite title and lyrics. |
