I received my Japanese SuperHeavy today, it is a very nice gatefold cover CD with the CD HMCD format with an extra track a very nice acoustic version of “Never Gonna Change” with only Mick Jagger and Dave Stewart, the album comes with a booklet very similar to other versions but it also has a booklet in Japanese with the lyrics in both, English and Japanese.

Here some images

Sorry, but I wouldn't even pay bargain-bin prices for this platter. What a crappy record. When I think of some of the sublime music that the Stones have made (see: Let It Loose, Loving Cup, Moonlight Mile...the list is endless) it just makes me want to cry to hear this dreck. Even "Following The River" had some kind of heart to it, but this is just pure, unmitigated shit. If Jagger's name wasn't on it, I doubt it would get even an iota of attention. Sad

My main problem with it after a couple of listens is that it just seems to be all over the place. Great, they arfe blending different musical styles. Even being the old rocker that I am,I don't mind different types of music. But this stuff just doesn't seem to blend well. It's kind of a mess and all over the place with no focus. Not to mention the fact that most of Mick's vocals are just awful. So way over the top affected,it seems like a parody of himself. Makes me a tad worried about new vocals he might put on the new Some Girls material.

I'm with both of you - although I like the entire album. It has an honest feeling about it and that's something I haven't heard in quite a while. Bravo Super Heavy. And Luxury - I too have awakened more than once with one of the songs in my head. Not a bad way to begin the day.

It could be a track from a new Jagger solo or a new Stones album. I'm glad this album brings at least one good song imo. (LOL)

OK, SUPERHEAVY has some good music, but the big thing that is lacking is some SMOKING GUITAR RIFFS! There is not one single solid guitar lick on the entire CD! Does Dave Stewart play guitar? I dont hear it anywhere, man! So being a 'rock chick' from way back, this CD isnt thrilling me much, but I will play it just because it's some new MICK but it's not going to be in my steady rotation of music.

I thinks you are right Bitch. Being an old rocker myself I want to hear guitars. Otherwise I would be on the A.R. Rahman messageboard! But I'm glad this project of Mick brought me one good song. (Still in doubt about Miracle Worker though)

Yeah I do like that one. It's got a little bit of a No Expectations kind of sound to it.

I'm with you there, Voo. I appreciate all kinds of music too - opera, classical, jazz, rock & roll - you name it. SuperHeavy just leaves me cold though. It's just an opinion - and you know what they say about opinions! Grin

I'm a huge Mick fan and I even like a lot of his solo stuff but this is utter crap. I liked Miracle Worker and thought the rest would be as good, but it's a huge disappointment. I like all kinds of music and even a good dance track, but I find this difficult to listen to. Without Mick the Stones would never be as interesting and inventive but I think he goes too far sometimes in trying to be daring. On the other hand, I'm beginning to wonder now if this is simply what his tastes are. Warring People sounds like something that could easily have been on Primitive Cool (no coincidence that that was done with Dave Stewart largely too). He likes rubbish like Beyonce and for a while I thought it was an attempt to stay hip but maybe that is just what he likes and for us die hards, it's hard to accept that he likes that type of crap. His attempt to be ground breaking ends up with a record that sounds like a lame attempt. If you're going to go that route, do it properly like he did on Sweet Thing, not this wimpy weak song collection. That said, I still admire him for still pushing against conventional wisdom and trying something different. If he didn't, he wouldn't be Mick and we wouldn't enjoy great songs like Emotional Rescue. Oh and toasting is a load of shite.
