The Rolling Stones – A Bigger Bang

Three words: Charlie F’in Watts! This is the first time you
really get that. Right, and especially, from the first track. Don
Was also does a bang-up job bringing his snare, and unique delivery
of it on the two and four, to the front. On top of that you have
Keith at his best since Dirty Work(yeah I said Dirty Work). Ronnie
is shining and smooth and Mick sounds sincere for the first time
since Some Girls. Even the schmaltzier Mick pop Bridges To Babylon
material has and edge and urgency to it. Some are even down right
funky. I would grade it as all killer no filler. Also, like U2′s
Pop(more on that in another entry) it lends itself to the modern
shuffle mode age. The lack of ‘theme’ or concept album pretense,
allows each song to stand on it’s own, or in any order they might
fall into. This is something that must be given consideration now,
much like song order has been labored over by bands since Sgt.
Pepper.

I don’t actually hate this record. But it’s not the be-all-end-all holy bible touchstone people seem to make it out to be. Especially in Toronto.

Even though he’s dead, I’m not going to reverse my position on this album. It just makes an upcoming post on it more timely.
