I really love this album.. I know people give the old "production" thing in regards to the album, but I don't give a flying fuck...I love Continental Drift. A modern Paint It Black sound.. Almost Hear You Sigh is beautiful.. That acoustic guitar...Slipping Away can make a grown man cry.. Keef all the way...Terrifying is nothing like The Stones have ever done and I love it..Hold On To Your Hat, Sad Sad Sad, Can't Be Seen have sweet guitars ... Check it out , man!!!!!!!!!! |

I agree with you 100% Full Moon.
The Mixed Emotions song in particular, I can't get over what an appropriate riff it is that Keith creates.
The chords themselves conjure up images of a rolling Steel Wheel train, pistons forward, backward, forward, etc. spinning with a glint of sunlight causing that optical illusion of backward spin.
Parallel that with the motion of his arms/hands over the guitar cranking out the notes like the pistons, forward, then backward sharps. For me, few other guitarists can create such powerful imagery with sound.

Steel Wheels is a great album, one of my favorites. Better than VL in my opinion. |

Yeah, I tore down an Engine in the garage listening to that album. It was a break from all them Bob Seger tunes. |

I am listening to STEEL WHEELS as we speak, and I never realized how terrible TERRIFYING is. Sooo 80ish sounding |

Hmmm .. "Break the Spell" is, I think, one of the best things on the album. "Terrifying" is a Jagger-Clifford travesty -- a Clagger. Maybe that can be a new term to describe the mess that is Goddess in the Doorway. The most egregious Clagger in history. |

I also think break the spell is a great track!
Ronnies guitar in Terrifying is also fantastic love that one.I think perhaps if the singles were added to the album it would be a monster! Wish id never met you/Fancy man blues/cook cook blues.
Great LP IMO.

Lets face it "Steel Wheels" is a whole lot better than "bridges to babylon" I think Voodoo lounge is the best album they have done lately since the excellent black and blue and tattoo you
I think "Love is strong was an excellent song also "Out of tears is great" but also there are a lot of not so great songs on Voodoo
i rencently heARD "continental drift" again and was surprised to hear how good i thought it was ...I remember at the time just wanting to hear good old keith riffs and hated it but now its the opposite
Bridges to babylon wasnt a good album i dont think "flip the switch" annoys me although "saint of me" and "anybody seen my baby..."are both great |

Totaly agree.Surely better than VL.
Love that period-after long bad time for Stones-when everybody thought that the Stones are history, they came back and blew everybody.
Always loved Blinded by love |

Mine too... and, actually, Keith's.
Voodoo Lounge has too many songs - they coulda cut "Brand New Car", "New Faces" and "Moon Is Up" and it would have been a much stronger album. Plus, apparently with all the boots floating around from that era, there's a plethora of songs that're better that weren't finished but abandoned in favor of some of the weaker tracks ("Suck On The Jugular", which sounds unfinished, "Blinded By Rainbows", which sounds forced, and "Out Of Tears", which sounds overproduced).
Steel Wheels just sounds too slick, too overproduced. There are a few great tracks, "Sad Sad Sad" being the best of the bunch. I don't like "Almost Hear You Sigh" at all. Too commercial. Not even close to "Wild Horses" or "Angie" or even "Always Suffering", which is its closest companion. I like "Break The Spell" - sounds like a strange combination of the good nasty harmonica on Dirty Work with a stripped-down feeling. "Continental Drift"s OK. So're "Can't Be Seen" and "Slipping Away" ("Slipping" sounds much much better live). "Mixed Emotions" is great... but that's it. "Sad Sad Sad" and "Mixed Emotions" are the only two staples from that album.
Don't even get me started about "Rock And A Hard Place". Travesty!
