    It'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.

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

    The 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.

    This 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.

    "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!

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