Saint Sway I think that the reviews that say its the Stones best since Exile or Some Girls are spot on!!!

BIgger Bang is destined to be a classic! Its an album whose greatness we will all be rejoicing for many years to come!!

its already one of the top records they've put out in the last decade!!

I'm shocked to read that people are already bored of it after only one month. Shocked!!

It will not be a classic, but it will be remembered very well in years to come.

Jair ABB is like a "feijoada" with no bean.
Just juice, no substance.

After a month,my fever about the album goes down.I´m little sick ,because i heard it a lot of times.Everyday i got my favourite track and it change a lot.In my opinion 3 songs are weak.Streets of love,Sweet Neocon and The Place is Empty.Dangerous Beauty and She saw me coming are repetitive but got good groove.Rough Justice is good like You Got Me rocking.It won´t too long too.I love Driving too Fast and the lyrics of Look What the cat Draggin are funny.Oh No not You Again is like a great song of Some Girls.RAin Fall Down got Emotinal Rescue vibe.Two songs grown on me .I think Let Me Down Slow now , is the best track of the album ,my friends love it too .The Biggest mystake is very personal and very intense.Mick finally got soul!Infamy is very cool x-winos and Laugh I nearly Died is a great ballad in Tattoo you( b-side) style.

The guitar work on ABB is far too weak and the songs are too underdeveloped for the record to come close to being excellent. B2B, VL, and WS are all significantly better. Mick and Charlie sound great, but I don't see how any Stones fan can fail to miss and lament the weakness of the guitars. Listen to VL and ABB back to back and it's shocking how far Keith and Ronnie have regressed.



Yes, that's been my biggest problem with this album since day 1, other than on a few songs, maybe only IWTL, the guitar work is unremarkable to say the least, you wonder what Keith was up to during all that time, especially after coming up with only 3 songs, you'd think he would have tried to play some good guitar licks at least...creatively speaking, the guy is completely spent and let's not even mention Ronnie. What really helped B2B was having Waddy Wachtel play some remarkable guitar parts, like on SOM, that type of inventive playing is completely absent from ABB and it hurts...especially for a "guitar" band.

Bullshit. Keith is playing great. Maybe it's too subtle for you but he is playing the best licks since years.
