One of the best albums of modern "Stone Age"!

Vorliegendes album - from 1983 - reminiscent in places ans album "Emotional Rescue", but this surpasses in quality.
It was one of the less successful albums of the Stones (especially the singles sold poorly).
The relatively poor sales are the album but in no way do justice; it is actually one of the best albums of the "younger Stone Age", perhaps the best of the past 30 years!
It is one of the fastest wheels of the Stones ever. Here goes anywhere from the Post! The listener gets here almost only rock and roll geboten- this but it's best!
But even more modern rhythms, like a little disco sound, the listener gets offered here.
Among the few slower rhythms, which makes use of the album, including some reggae numbers.
Overall, the album for its time very modern. Maybe this is also the main reason for the relariv poor sales. - The listener may have been a little irritated because they were still accustomed to the 70s style of Stones ?!
The lyrics are very political for Stones- conditions. That's a little irritating, but now the Stones are wirlich not known as "Political Band". The band are known more for their political reticence and its business acumen. Therefore "socially critical" issues do not arrive at their audience. Because the audience is familiar with the Stones as a band that has certainly led around in the past, their fans with their texts on the nose, often bringing weak or senseless texts, and Ansonten the kids to bring to rock. In addition, subjects were already political at this time in rock music. Not "in".

The album is very rocky, and offers little for ballad fans.
The album is very playful, fast, and - in my opinion - very consistent in itself (as opposed to the opinion of many Andreer reviewers!)!
I would recommend this album anyway up and down to hear!

All songs on this have been written by the Rolling Stones themselves.

The album cover is once again very provocative, and shows a naked woman, obviously a "Gentle girl". Once again, the Stones on the fairer sex seem to mock, typically, up to this Zeipunkt largely male-dominated rock and roll style flat. The songs here would certainly bring back some as a feminist for cooking, like "She was hot."

"Undercover", one of those songs with a political text, was the "Lead single" on the album, which, after all, conquered a respectable 9th place in the United States (still poor compared to the predecessor Singles). A recent hard rock song, the sound robe rather superficial and cold, but the Zeitgeist very adapted. While listening one has the impression that you would drive around at night with a car in unsafe area of ​​a big city. No really good Stones- song. A relatively weak single. There are much better songs on this record. Mick Jagger himself made the way the polit. Text for the weak performance of this single charge.

"She was hot" is again a rock and roll song, reminiscent of earlier Stones- recordings, with some women insulting text, the succession was single. I like the number very well. Nevertheless, this single was pretty much the least successful single ever Stones- that could crack the top 40 in only a few "important" countries! - This is the song but does not do justice!

"Tie you up," a slightly "soulful" played song.

"Wanna Hold You"; good, classic rock and roll song; catchy; convincing even the harmony singing the Stones here.

"Feel on Baby" is the best reggae song the Stones ever.

"Too much blood" is really a successful, modern and innovative song, with real single- Qualiäten. With brass insert. One of the best songs of the plate. However, the text is very grim; supposedly it comes to cannibalism.

"Pretty Beat Up", a harder reggae song that sounds very similar to Bob Marley.

"Too Tough" is a hard rock number in the style of "Start me up".

"All the way down" is a bluesier number, the more classic style Stones-. Hymnen- way. One of the best songs on the album. Earwig its finest.

"It must be hell", again rather "more classic Stones"; the typical reef is one among the stones known ("Brown Sugar"?).

CONCLUSION: again a damn good, but pretty rocking Stones- album.
WEn experimenting the different sounds then does not bother, and can enjoy the various styles Stones- well, is versatile, for the album is a listening experience, with surprising, but good, often novel sounds.
Must a rock and roll fan, and as STones- fan anyway, absolutely!
