No comparison...ER a great albu, ABB a artistic and commercial failure....



Oh come on now, JB. There are many, many, many, many albums by the stones that are better than ABB, but is ABB really worse than Emotional Rescue?

Damn, at this very moment I'm listening to Down In The Hole, and suddenly I lack the clarity I had 30 seconds ago when starting this post.

texile i don't know gazza - i still think its the same vocal...
the bootleg has the extended version, hence the different lyrics but nothing beats the el mocambo version.

an still undiscovered gem at that, the lines are so cryptic but so dead on...



Third world revolutionary politics, poverty, violence, all told from a child's perspective -- brilliant stuff! My only beef with the song is how the mariachi horns sound real in the beginning, and then later they sound keyboard-y.

F505 Summer Romance, Send It To Me, Let Me Go, Indian Girl, She's So Cold and All About You are all very weak songs.
Not worthy to be on any Stones album

Green Tea I think "All About You" is a great song. I also think "She's so Cold" is fun rocker.

I agree about the rest.

Poison Dart Emotional Rescue is better. But, it is fairly close.

Some Guy Emotional Rescue probably sold more copies today than ABB.

ExileInLA I can't believe what I'm reading here. Are you people saying that Emotional Rescue is a great record? You have to be kidding. Nothing good really came out of this period besides "All About You".

ABB is a much better record with more solid songs than ER.

She Saw Me Comin, Rough Justice, ONNYA, and Back Of My Hand are better than just about 99% of ER.

Hear hear!

Zack AMG rightly calls ER a "bafflingly lame start to the 80s." It is the funniest Stones record by a mile though, and that's worth something.

I'd put ABB in the upper middle eschelon of Stones albums. and ER in the lower middle. Maybe middle middle.

Honky Tonk Man A Bigger Bang is the better record by far. Emotional Rescue has its moments and its by no means a bad attempt. Maybe my preference to their latest effort its the first studio album since I've been a fan. Emotional Recue came out 3 years before I was born and during a Stones era I have little to no interest in whatsoever.

IanBillen A Bigger Bang is definitely better over all. Sure no Monster single or different approaches to it. But hey....it is simple, unapologetic, and it rocks all the way through. I never really got into ER. Sure it is Ok. But it never really grabbed me and it surely didn't hit the nail on the head as ABB does. I like ER and SSC as the singles. Good fun tunes they are and so is "Where the boys all go" but the rest is nothing worth writing home over and alot of it seems kinda sub-par or kinda weak for a Rolling Stones studio release. It isn't horrible.....just nothing spectacular as as album for a Stones release IMO and is of their weaker records. ABB is solid as a rock and doesn't let up all the way through. Just my opinion.
