 Back in 1978, Keith Richards was asked why the Stones called their new album Some Girls. He replied, "Because we couldn't remember their fucking names." Well argued, sir! Some Girls stands as the craftiest rock & roll comeback in history — after years of sucking in the Seventies, the Stones suddenly sounded like nasty bitches again. It kicked off a five-year run that's ripe for re-appreciation: the Mall-Rat Years. The Stones seduced a new breed of Eighties parking-lot kids who didn't give a crap about the band's legacy but shook mullet when "She's So Cold" or "Little T&A" hit the radio in between Journey and Foreigner....full text |

| "Tattoo You" is one of the most unique albums ever recorded by the Rolling Stones. It features a great collection of straight rock songs which appeared on the vinyl album's first side, followed by an introspective "suite" of songs about unfaithfulness and betrayal. The songs are arranged in the perfect order, and the introspective songs seem to tell the story of a relationship's progress....full text |

| Sound: As the cliche goes, this is the Rolling Stones' best album since "Exile On Main St.", bar none, except perhaps "Some Girls" and their latest, "A Bigger Bang". Note that I say "best" and not "greatest", however. Tattoo You was cobbled together from outtakes that dated all the way back to the "Goat's Head Soup" sessions. For example, Waiting on a Friend has Mick Taylor playing guitar, rather than Ronnie Wood. Start Me Up and Black Limousine, were from the "Some Girls" sessions, While only Neighbors and Heaven were originals from the sessions for this album. The Stones explore a few different styles of music, such as reggae and boogie-woogie, with Start Me Up being one of the few true rock songs on the album. In fact, the album is split in two sides, one with staight ahead rock songs, and the other comprised of mostly ballads and mellower material. Sadly enough, though, this album is far from exceptional. Certainly, there are a few stand-out tracks, such as the lead single, Start Me Up (which has one of the most infectious beats in a rock song), Waiting on a Friend (One of their truly best ballads), Slave (a slower rocking piece of menace), and Black Limousine (a boogie number that, interestingly, is one of the few songs credited to Jagger/Richards/Wood). The rest of the album borders on passable, as it is weighted down by, in my opinion, garbage such as Hang Fire (Reggae gone wrong) and Neighbors (Which just doesn't sound like the Stones, any way you put it). All in all, it is undeserving of its label as one of their best, and, personally was a big let-down for me, what with the expectations that Start Me Up had created. // 6...full text |
