Call this the alternative 'rediscovering abb thread'...
First time in several months, just played the damn thing all the way through.
The only songs that I got into were:
Rough Justice
Let Me Down Slow
It Won't Take Long
Rain Fall Down
Back Of My Hand
Biggest Mistake
This Place Is Empty
Laugh I Nearly Died
I recall previously liking Oh No Not You Again, but it seemed lame this time around. Remaining songs seemed lame to be both then (when it came out) and now.
I guess you could say I really dig the first half of the album. |

That's not a bad list of songs. I like those songs too. I do like Streets Of Love. I think it's a beautiful song. Rain Fall Down is cool. Same here with Oh No Not You Again. |

Trim it down to 10 tracks like the old days and it's a pretty damn good album!
Here's my "A Smaller Bang" playlist:
Rough Justice
Let Me Down Slow
It Won't Take Long
Rain Fall Down
Back Of My Hand
Oh No, Not You Again
This Place Is Empty
Dangerous Beauty
Laugh, I Nearly Died
Under The Radar

The thing about the "old days" is that they put out 10 songs almost yearly. |

I would drop off the requisite Keef ballad & replace it with, oh, Look What The Cat Dragged In. |

I like the album a lot too. Can't believe it was 18 months ago since it was released, only seems like about 6 months. Think i will listen to it today again, haven't heard it in a few months. |

I think we need to make this an RO project for the upcoming weekend.
We ALL listen to ABB from start to finish and see howe we feel about it 18 months (WOW!) after its release.
Who's with me??

Look what the cat dragged in is under rated in my opinion. Every time I hear it, it reminds me of Undercover, similar tempo. |

A really disappointing album ...mostly Mick's solo crap with a awful Keith song . |

agreed....not a very good album at all, with a lot of sissy songs(see SOL). |

I love A Bigger Bang. I have yet to file the album in my CD rack - the first time I've done this EVER. I burned a copy for the car as well.
I consider A Bigger Bang to be one of my top 5 Stones albums, and I find it to be one of their most cohesive albums to date. I love the feel of it, how it sounds through my speakers, the energy and spirit of it...it really does sound great to me.
I have a Carver TFM35 power amp (roughly 200 watts) bi-wired out to Paradigm floor standing monitor type speakers, with a Marantz pre-amp. A Bigger bang sounds real rocking and bluesy, with plenty of space to hear all the different parts. |

They've been doing sissy songs for years! LOL
I've always HATED "Out of Tears!"

I went reaching for ABB but my hand grabbed EOMS instead, as if guided by some higher power. I'll try again tomorrow. I wouldn't mind hearing Dangerous Beauty.

the lyrics for most of the songs are horrible. "The moon is yellow, i'm like jello staring at your tits". A 6th grader could easliy have written most of these songs. I dunno if it's micks attempt at looking cool, but its hard to believe the same guy wrote songs like Gimme Shelter and Sway. |

You know, I've always thought that most of these songs just sound like tossed off demos or something. Like the songs aren't really even finished.
And the lyrics are just....awful. Dumb. Retarded at times. Did Ian help them with the lyrics? I'd believe it.
The riffs range from boring to rote. Nothing really inspired at all. When you start ripping off INXS riffs, yer in trouble.
I like the production on it, the sound is solid and loud, but no amount of studio wizardry can save those crappy songs. Bad songs are bad songs no matter how well produced they are.
My biggest complaint is that it isn't what MY idea of Rock n Roll is. To me, it sounds like MOR adult contemporary commercial radio drivel. It totally lacks balls, and that is a mortal sin for a Stones album.
LJ, do you REALLY want me to do this thing for you? I'll do it if you ask me to do it, but I'd rather not. I have the new Stooges album to crank, and I'd really rather listen to that. |

>I've always HATED "Out of Tears!"<
Me too. I'll add "Anybody Seen My Baby" to that list as well. And everything on ABB except RJ, ONNYA, & BOMH.

I'm with SS my sweet. I just got the new Stooges today... |

| White House Lawn |
What do you guys think about that new Stooges CD? I got it, too, but so far I'm lukewarm about it.
I kind of like the fact that the Stones have had a SLOW decline--if they would have split up after EXILE then got back together after decades and released something like ABB . . . well, let's just say it would have been a bummer! |
