The cover is horrible...I do like the Tongue and fangs though...It reminds me of the Halloween tongue fron a few years back which I also loved...

GRRR certainly does not mean Greatest Rock and Roll Record...

Hot Rocks 1 and 2 were almost the same covers...why they didn't go with 50 Licks and a better/different color scheme, is beyond me.
What the hell was the point of that new ( and also horrible) 50th anniversary logo from a few weeks back??

That's right Nellie. Enough of this whining,complaining,bitching and moaning. Are favorite band has delivered a high quality,thoughtful,very creative package that greatly represents all facets of their career. Only thing I would of done differently? Called the thing ape shit!

Is this some kind of f**ing joke???

It is called "Grrr" ???? and there is some kina corny looking ape on the cover?? I thought this was a joke??

This easily makes 40 Licks title look like a work of genius. I like the new song titles...but this is utterly horrid.

I still don't get what they and the record company are thinking???? "Grrr" ...................?????? and this cover??

Two new songs: undoubtedly a couple of cliche-ridden toss-offs recorded and rushed out the door three months before their official release. Such is the fundamentally irrational way Stones Inc. has operated for the last 10-odd years: years of little to no activity and then a last-minute flurry of activity. There's no quality control whatsoever.

The title is an absolute joke and the outsourced artwork is abysmal.
