Il serait exagéré de dire que nous tenons là un autre Beggar's Banquet ou l'égal d'un Sticky Fingers mais Undercover contient quelques réussites. Les Stones de 1983 se cherchent : Keith Richards s'accroche à ses rocks aux riffs touffus un peu ressassés et Mick Jagger tente d'ouvrir le groupe à des influences extérieures. Une fois de plus les meilleurs morceaux visent le dance floor : "Too Much Blood" mélange cocottes de guitare funky et récits de crimes gore, tandis que "Undercover (Of The Night)" donne naissance à un nouveau genre, le protest funk metal latino; comme un rapport d'Amnesty International rédigé par William Burroughs. --Hubert Deshouse

I can't believe that the rest of the world doesn't know it either. If you're going to call the Stones the best rock and roll band ever, get the album that rocks the hardest. Violent and decadent and delicious. The reggae beats of Feel On Baby are even better than the excellent Send It To Me, Hot Stuff, and Cherry Oh Baby. The true classic is Too Much Blood. This song and Fingerprint File are the two best Stones songs ever. I find no filler whatsoever on this album. This album is hot, hot, hot.

Undercover was the third studio album released by the Stones in the 1980s. None of the songs included in this record was an instant classic as Start me up had been two years before. But Undercover is a pretty solid album. She was hot is as good as Hang Fire had been in Tatto You. Pretty beat up is more interesting than Neighbours had been 2 years before. Too tough has a pretty powerful riff. Undercover of the Night and Too much blood were the big hits of this record. But I think that Feel on Baby is a much better songs. It conquers you little by little. In Undercover, Keith sings Wanna hold you which represents a follow up to what Little T & A had been in Tatto You.
It's a very solid record and it's really a pity that it has not been appreciated as much as it should have.

Among Stones purists, this is a controversial album. Some love it and, well.....some don't. I happen to belong to the former category. There are no ballads(a rarity for any Stones album), just straight ahead hard rock songs.This album was strangely out of step with the times as the 80's had a happy-go-lucky vibe and this album is quite dark and violent. Just look at the song titles-"Pretty Beat Up", "Too Much Blood","Too Tough", "Must Be Hell", and you can start to feel the sense of dread that pervades throughout.The band rocks ferociosly and Charlie Watts pounds the skins like a man possessed and conjures up a hip hop like urban jungle sound that really suits the material. They do lighten up a little on "She Was Hot", Mick's humorous blow by blow account of a one night stand and Keith's light hearted "Wanna Hold You", but this is like the sun coming out momentarily on a cloudy day. Truthfully, there isn't one particular classic cut on this album, but taken song for song as a complete album it is compelling listening from beginning to end.

One of the worst Rolling Stones albums

It's Just...Too Tough
This may be the most underappreciated of all Stones albums. Coming on the heels of the vastly inferior 'Tattoo You' (my opinion, of course), and right before their all-time worst... Read more

Makes a lovely coaster
Lets face it. The Stones lost it right around their "Some Girls" era. Undercover is just a messy new-wave influenced disaster

Undercover Underrated!
This is a good release - not great. My favorites are Too Much Blood and Pretty Beat Up. Richards has his usual lead vocals in one song (song title - ? and its fairly good. Read more

Awesome, overlooked CD.
It starts with a bang and doesn't let up until it's through. "She was Hot" is one of the best Stones songs, if not Rock songs, ever made. Read more
