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.
