It seems the version from the album will be different with more guitars and a "real" drumming...So the folllowing message is based on the Youtube version..

Well...the good points:

Good drumming, I love the snare sound.
Guitar sounds great : it rocks!
Lyrics with no " Fantasy" and "cards on the table" words.
Good Production, it 's modern and I love it.
Catchy , grow up and up in your head.

the bad:

Riff ala young "You got me Rocking"
Good break but should be longer with this ambience.
the rest of the lyrics
Jagger voice sounds sometimes forced and tired.
The band still has no bass player, what a shame!
No guitar solo while our Donald seems on fire with a killer sound on this track.

Too bad they won't do a record in this mood ! 6,5/10 for me.

Nice review.

Here's my take: No inspiration to be found but it rocks.Thank somebody it's not a SuperHeavy 'dancing' song. I hate dancing.

And that was my Robert Christgay impression of the day. Thank you very much; farewell and goodbye

And Jumy, I thought Mick sounded good! Kind of edgy, rougher, less polished. More mid 70s like in a way. I think they sound tight and actually relevant.

Guitars are badass, Mick's vocals are great, Chazz is on fire. I'm quite surprised...expected something underwhelming.

I've tried to get the lyrics down - any suggestions for the '?' before the word 'rich'?

Musically, I like the song and it has a few hooks that make me want to listen again (e.g. the lead in after chorus into verse). Mick's hallmark of riffing the vocals are definitely present towards the end of the song, but on a whole I thought his voice sounds strained, overly loud and eventually irritating.

I can imagine it'd be good live though

I mis-spoke, I got both versions of Doom n' Gloom, not the other song just yet...I should've known that they would hit us extra for alternate mixes!

Yes - but it seems whoever made the video either left out this one bit (coincidentally), or also struggled to interpret it. Quote: Bowing to the rich ? Could well be!

Souless drumming. Flat. Where's Keith? This doesn't sound like the Stones to me.

Is this the Mick version with what he feels to be a radio friendly mix? I want the mix that has Charlie and Keith on it.
