" DIRTY WORK WAS UNLEASHED ON US ..REMEMBER AND PLAY IT LOUD  "



< ------ Worst Stones' Album EVER !!!!!!


Man you friggin SAID it Little Fella ( Lil' Fiji ) .

In the entire HISTORY of recorded music only Wing's   "   Back to the Egg   "   is more egregious .

" Hit Me Ronnie ! "


O'kins !  

I played the album today, not bad at all.
Back To Zero is the worst song recorded by the boys (along with SOL, Neocon...) and Winning Ugly sucks... but the rest of the album rocks like hell.

Ironic that its regarded as a latter-day album, yet it was actually released at pretty much exactly the half way point in their recording career to date - and theyve only made four albums since. 

For all it's faults, it marked the end of an era. The last album with Stu and the final one before they allowed themselves to morph into the Cohlisaurus we know today.

I suppose you could categorise the band's history into three convenient eras. The period up to Undercover in 1983 when they were truly a rock n roll band with a sense of purpose and direction. The period from 1989 to today when they became more of a corporate entity than anything else. The 1984-88 years could be seen as a period when they spent a few years evaluating their future and making tentative steps at envisioning a scenario where they ceased to exist as a band (German's book basically states that for a couple of years they effectively DID disband into 5 pieces from an administrative perspective). Dirty Work is the product of a band that existed in name only. Most of the songs are written by Keith & Woody, Jagger's involvement was minimal, Charlie was often absent as his demons were taking over and the whole album resembles a musical equivalent of a patchwork quilt with various guest musicians and roadies chipping in to get it shipshape.

It shows, although not always in a bad way. The tension and edginess absolutely drips through the grooves.

Whats with the caps? Is it a tribute to Perks for starting the thread?

There was a bus strike here the day that album was released. I always insisted on buying Stones albums on the day they came out, so I ended up leaving work early to walk 5 miles into the city centre to buy it, and then 3 miles home again.

I thought for some time afterwards that "One Hit" was one of the greatest things I'd ever heard from the Stones. It's sounded a bit dated since and my enthusiasm for it has faded a little (maybe once I found out that the brilliant lead guitar on it wasn't by Keith or Woody but by Jimmy Page) but every once in a while (like just now) I put it on and it still goes 'straight to the mark'

It really is a lifelong affliction

still have this one

Back to Zero...

HAD IT WITH YOU IS THE BEST STONES SONG POST EMOTIONAL RESCUE

I REALLY LIKE THE OPENING MOMENTS OF "SLEEP TONIGHT"

VERY CHILLING WITH THE GOSPEL SINGERS AND THE WAY THE KEYS AND CHARLIES DRUMS PLAY OFF EACH OTHER

ONE OF THE STONES BEST SONG INTROS IMO
