Product Description

From Amazon.com

It should come as no surprise that it took sex, disease and death to shake the Rolling Stones out of their latest creative dry spell. Leading up to the making of A Bigger Bang, produced by Don Was, Mick Jagger endured a very public break-up with Jerry Hall, Charlie Watts battled throat cancer, and Ron Wood was devastated by the news of his ex-wife's suicide. Out of their collective struggles, the members of the venerable British rock band managed to piece together some of their best work in nearly two decades. It's a slick, slightly uneven affair bounding from raunchy blues to MOR rock songs that sound suspiciously like they were left over from the Alfie soundtrack, yes, but it also sounds vital at every turn. Even though they don't really need to, the jet-set vagabond rockers plunge into hot-button politics ("Sweet Neo Con"), rummage through their dirty laundry ("Oh No, Not You Again") and dip cautious toes back into ridicule-tempting "Miss You"-style funk ("Rain Fall Down"), without making any major missteps unless you count the ewwwww-factor of a 61-year-old Keith Richards singing "Come on honey, bare your breasts and make me feel at home" on "This Place Is Empty." --Aidin Vaziri

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Stones CD, Sep 30 2005

Let's face it these guys still know how to rock better than any band out there. Instead of comparing A Bigger Bang with the Stones' previous work try comparing it with all the other Rock that is out there right now. This record rocks harder than most. The guitars sound excellent and Charlie Watts is as solid as any drummer in Rock. If you want to read more reviews of this album just go to Amazon.com the American website. There's around 200 reviews on the site and you'll get a good idea of what people think of the new album. Very positive!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Stones Bang!, Dec 6 2005

Lots of Stones bangs for your bucks here! Their finest album
in recent memory, it holds it's own alongside many of their seventies outings. The songwriting is excellent. The boys are playing great. They're back in top form. It's a solid listen, an instant classic, and it only grows on you with repeated plays. It's very very rare that one can give any of the Stones albums a five star rating in a good many years, but A Bigger Bang! No problem!
