Still think they need to change producers after all this time, but it's a solid song which I doubt would have been the first single, but completely appropriate for the times. Very smart marketing move.

This song means the band has released a new song in seven decades now. Amazing feat considering how long most bands or even single acts hang around. Got me thinking about what other performers might have done that. Garland, Sinatra, BB King The Who....King I don't think makes it because of the criteria of new song. U2 will likely do it if the release something in the 2030's. The song has grown on me but I wonder if its just because its the Stones and I need something to cheer me up. Reminds me a bit of Rock and Hard Place with a dash of Heaven in the middle. Macca also had a song with a chorus chant kinda like the chant in this tune but I cant put my finger on what song. Stay safe guys!

Duly noted
I'm trying, I really want to like it. Mick sounds great, the boys sound great but it's just not there somehow. Mick should have sung it in a slinky cockney ed accent voice- Jagger it up. And the whoah whoahs should have sounded more attached to the song and really bring it on vocals, sounding super cool and memorable not so blah. Should have put the classic Stones stamp there big time. It could have been much better. IMHO...

The "'alternative video'" is a bit Year 2 or even Year 1 media-studies, perhaps.

But it would be grand if the new album (released before Chrimbo please - unless it's to be saved for a tour and therefore Soup Super' is the yule offering)… sorry,I'm waffling... it woukld be grand if the new album contained 'Ghost Town's original [/i lyrics.

The original lyrics(about the aftermath of L'Wren, surely, or at least in part?) should be available sometime somewhere, soonish, surely. Rather than waiting three or four years for it's releaae on bootleggy (Mountbatten).
But the released track (and -Kkubricky? - video) will always stand as a cracker-barrel, and meanwhile one keenly hopes for a dubby extended version in June.

Didn't think it was too douchey. Maybe a little on the dorky side, but it's a lot better than the usual wanky dismissal from the we're too cool for The Rolling Stones crowd who have Radiohead, the Beastie Boys, and some other below average tosspots on their playlists.

I didn't think much of it at first but now I find myself listening to it over and over. It's a really great tune. Some of the lyrics are sorta meh though, like an uninspired commentary of current events. "Life was so beautiful then we all got locked down." No shit, really? Tell me more Mick. Had the same gripe with doom and gloom and sweet neocon.

But it's damn nice to get a rockin new Stones song.

Pretty decent remix...Alok has made a pretty good name for himself in the last few years...Jagger's Gotta Get a Grip and England Lost had decent remixes...they were better than the originals IMO...I wonder who reaches out to who in these things...or if its record companies teams that make these things happen?
