Aug 2, 2013I dont like this album.I think this is the worst album that rolling stones have ever produced.But a few songs are really good like rough justice and for their age the album is good.So it seems to me this is a bad album but a really good effort for their age

DrewJJan 31, 2007Rolling Stones still and will forever have what most bands going today can only dream about...straight through great ablum...The rest of modern rock has just got the shit kicked out of them by seventy year olds

ChuckSSep 23, 2006Not much to say about this.........lots of songs but .the lyrics are juvenile without much imagination. The drums and guitars let you know right off its the Stones, however.

steveLMar 23, 2006I find it a mixed bag. They can still write the riffs but the lyrics are a bit weak. Time to lose Don Was as producer and find someone willing to give orders rather than take them.

BeaufordePFeb 10, 2006This is the best rock album of 2005. The Stones reclaim the crown. There is some filler toward the end, but the body of this album is stunning in its eclecticism, range, and execution. Simply a breathtaking ride...the kind of album no other band in the world could make any more...or even dare try...except for the Stones.

MickJaggerJan 22, 2006There's no way that you can hate these guys! They are too cool for school! From the beginning to the end, the california raisins kick major butt!

MikeSJan 1, 2006One of the best albums they have ever done. I can't get enough of it.

LauraSDec 13, 2005I wasn't expecting too much when I bought Bigger Bang since their last few albums weren't the Stones of old. But now, since listening to it every day in my car, I absolutely think its one of their best albums in their history. It has the classic rock sound of the Stones, along with the bluesiness that has made them the greatest band of all time.

JimRNov 22, 2005best since tatoo you, mixes all areas of stones sound since the exile days, if they are going out on this one it's a fitting end!!

[Anonymous]Nov 20, 2005just because they rocked a long time ago doesnt make this album likeable. in other words it sux.

PaulHNov 7, 2005It's just boring music, from what use to be a great band, it's so dull and long. they should of ended the band after "Some Girls", we all know this though some (most) are in denial. The Stones have been embarassing themselves for the last 25 years.

AlanRNov 7, 2005Why won't Mick Jagger just die already? Then I might be able to listen to their back catalogue and not feel dirty.

PeterMOct 5, 2005A bit disappointing,. I'm in the minority - I preferred their last two albums. Poorly produce, but worth a listen if only for the tightest rhythm section in rock; Jones and Watts are terrific
-
-
CarlosMOct 4, 2005Their Best Album since "Exile". It´s strong, smood, country. blues. They are The Rolling Stones.

mechallnOct 2, 2005crap! all crap! god i h8 these guys! if our country and our leaders suck so much, go live somewhere else! totally overrated artists.

MattSep 29, 2005It feels a little desperate to seem relevant, but there are many solid Rolling Stones moments.

jcarlsonSep 25, 2005The writing is weak and juvenile. Jagger has be come bitter and Richard and Wood can't lift these tunes above that or the song structure.

RandyDSep 19, 2005INCREDIBLE!!!!!! IS THERE AN 11 IN THE RATING CHART? Best Rolling Stones album in years!!!!!!Mick Jagger still has it!!!!! Lyrics and performing!!

JosephKSep 13, 2005Best recording in years. Not over produced like the last couple of ones. There are plenty of good song s but the one that stand out the most to me is "Dangerous Beauty". Classic Stones riff with Jagger's hard driving lyrics. Incredible!!!!!

BMSep 10, 2005This is one great album. Once you've heard the separation of the instruments, you'll realize there are no bad songs. They groove very raunchy, bluezy, Mick in top form. I love TPIE. The Worlds Greatest Rock n Roll Band fo sho!

AtleticodeRafaela...Sep 9, 2005Rolling Stones: this album was unnecesary.

MikeHSep 9, 2005The Rolling Stones are the best band of all time and this just proves it again

peterwSep 9, 2005I'm amazed at how many tracks I enjoyed - felt that 60's part of me all over again! I espcially was moved by this place is empty, and of course streets of love
-
-
BKrackeSep 9, 2005Sounds more like Tattoo You and Black and Blue than it does Some Girls. Entertaining, great guitar licks as always but the lyrics are not up to the Stones best work. Also, too much variety in terms of song styles on this CD make it inconsistent and uneven.

nevilleqSep 8, 2005they are back sounding early stones post altamont . brave to take the honest approach and sound like a stones album should + not follow 2005 5 minute pleasers
-
-
radarSep 8, 2005"Bridges To Babylon" is an impressingly lot better than this. Don't ask me what the Allmusic and RollingStone critics are thinking about - daring to tell people anything else. Wipe the dust off of your Babylon-disc and enjoy some good Stones instead!
-
-
steveMSep 8, 2005About four tracks show real effort (and kudos on "Sweet Neo Con", easily the best song on the CD). The remaining 12 tracks are anonymous knockoffs sprinkled with lyrics that make Spinal Tap jealous ("the phone kept ringing as we made sweet love"??). Did I really expect more? Foolishly, I did.

AndrewJSep 8, 2005just short of a classic...the best stones album since exile

ErikPSep 7, 2005Good album, No really awesome songs on it but over all the music is good.

-
TimothyRSep 7, 2005This is not the big comeback we were all hoping for. This album is as ugly as Keith's leathery face. The lyrics do Spinal Tap proud and the music is dull and uninspired.

stevekSep 7, 2005best since some girls by far they will never stop evolving there jus missin 1 country song like far away eyes
-
-
SteveMcQueenSep 7, 2005A couple of duff tracks but Jagger sounds rejuvenated and the band are stonking
-
-
BrandonSSep 7, 2005Rock solid rock and roll. I for one don't mind that the lyrics aren't necessarily all that great. They're full of spite and raunch. - Jagger being Jagger. Great Stones album any way you look at it.

NiklasESep 7, 2005This is one of the best Stones records in a very long time.

RobertKSep 7, 2005Very good album, lots of energy and comparable to Some Girls. Mick Jagger really worked his ass off this time!
-
-
EricZSep 6, 2005A pretty good CD. While there are no "WOW that was amazing" hits there are a number of strong efforts. I love "Let Me Down Slow" and "Laugh, I Nearly Died." "Biggest Mistake" is pretty good too. And you've gotta love the Bush-bashing "Sweet Neo Con."

Some of their best work in nearly two decades.

Billboard16 songs of stalwart Stones riffs that almost compensate for generally embarrassing lyrics. [10 Sep 2005]
