Take the best songs off both:
B2B:
Too Tight
Out of Control
Saint of Me
You Don't Have to Mean It
ABB:
Oh No, Not You Again
Back of My Hand
Let's face it gang, "A Bigger Bang" is the weakest Stones album ever released. Ever. It is worse than Dirty Work, it is worse than Emotional Rescue, it is worse than Steel Wheels, it is worse than Voodoo Lounge, and yes, it is worse than Bridges to Babylon.
By the way, Sir Stonesalot, kudos on your solid review of the album. Honesty is the best policy, even on a fan-board like this one. Well done. You made it OK to criticize the Stones without being jumped on. The fact remains that the Stones still have the best back catalog in music, and the crap they just released does not change that.
The fact that 99% of the people on this board worship the Stones, and the album reviews have been mostly mediocre, is a very scary thing. I think FEMA may have put forth a better effort than Mick and Keith did in the studio for this one... |

Remember when Mets beat the Red Sox in 1986? I bet you got that same sick feeling in your belly when you listened to "Streets of Love." |

Bridges is a 1000x better than Bang.
and Bridges is a bottom of the barrel Stones album at best. |

Saint Sway,
Methinks u are really going off on a tangent. I mean your ABB comments have been, lets say, inconsistent, with only their first derivative being consistent, inasmuch as the subsequent comments have been ever increasingly negative. Why dont u just say it? ABB is the worst piece of shite ever recorded. Compared to it, Engelbert Humperdinck rulez. Give me Barry Manilow.
or, how about trying to get over the fact that the Black Crowes are not huge? They made a choice, as u put it, not to be, so get over this penis/chart envy that makes u a prime Stonesbasher!
OK, let me rephrase that, sorry to have been so rude: I think u have gone a bit overboard in ur criticism, maybe time to draw-r-another breath? London calling.

jcdesq, unlike many ohters, I happen to agree with some of your comments about the Stones, but I totally disagree with this one. B2B is the worst album they have ever released. ABB is miles better. Although, that horrid Streets of Love (the worst thing they have ever recorded) is worthy of placement on B2B. It would have fit in nicely: the worst thing ever recorded, on the worst album they have ever released. |

Keiths poor creative in ABB is very easily to hear.
Theres NO his arranged isnīt there.Youn know his style.
From babylon theres MANY as was on voodoo lounge
Love is strong
you got me rocking
sparks will fly
the worst
i go wild
thru and thru
Flip the switch
You donīt have to mean it
too tight
thief in the night
how can i stop
both "sets" are almots half of the each album,,,
On ABB theres only 3keiths,maybe just 2.
Infamy
this place is empty
+maybe,Driving too fast.
I think,Sir keith has lost his creativity nearly completely,Mick hasnīt. |

I agree completely Bridges is 1000x better than Emotional Rescue because that album well- I guess it is the bottom of the barrel. |

You know I'm thinking about giving this site a rest for awhile. The negative morons, I guess this site has always had more that it's share, are simply spamming & flooding at this particular point in TIME. I guess their upset the STONES have released a really GREAT ALBMUM (for what it's worth, not much around here, that just my opinion but way too early to really tell for sure- hell I've only listened to it four times).
Opinion is one thing but spamming and flooding is something totally different. If you don't like the album fine, we agree to disagree but, at this TIME, there isn't much worthwhile conversation going on. I got better things to do.

After letting it soak in a bit and the initial buzz wear off, it's about as good as I expected, and I admit I was initially expecting a lot worse
A handful of pretty good tunes, and a handful of just "ok" ones - that'll probably grow on you after repeated listens down the years, and about a handful of forgetable sleepers
One thing of note is that parts of it do have a certain feel, a worn in "classic Stones era" feel, similar to VL, that I instantly liked
Overall though, not a whole hell of a lot better or worse, than their previous two albums, kinda of a cross between the 2 actually, with equal amount of the good and the bad

please dont go.
I agree that there are far too many people ranking on Bigger Bang.
hmmm.....I'm not sure why that is....
please stay and tell us how great you think Bang is. I want to read about how much you love Rain Fall Down. And how much you think Look What The Cat Dragged In rocks. Tell us how Sweet NeoCon is their best song since Start Me Up.
I honestly want to read what people like about this record
please stay and enlighten us with worthwhile conversation about the wonders of Bigger Bang

Do you feel the music?
Those talking about technique or things like that are in the wrong place, the Stones have never been masters at their instruments, creativity and innovation are not in their vocabulary at all
It's the feeling babies
Are you a Rolling Stone?
Is it in your head? To be a rolling stone... a rolling stone... a rolling stooooooooooooooooone....
Hi Steve  
Probably jcdesq and Sir Stonesalot need some medicine, Anybody seen Joey's weed? |

Pretty easy to hear the mark of Keith in stuff like Rough Justice or It Won't Take Long.
But after this tour, I do think less 'collaborating with everybody under the sun' would greatly benefit the next album. He's not just a sideman-for-hire, but 50% of the Jagger-Richards songwriting team. |

I'm not gonna rag on the new album 'cause I like it and it is growing on me with every listen. However, I must partially agree with the starter of this thread: ABB simply does not match up with B2B. And I'm not saying that B2B is a bottom of the barrel Stones album either. In fact, I consider it one of the better albums they've ever done. I know that a big deal was made about how well Mick and Keith were getting along during writing/recording, but, perhaps all of the tension in '96-'97 got their creative juices flowing as each tried to out-do the other. |

Don't like it? sucks for you.
