cheese on gold

that was hard back then. one was a 12-year stonesfan - and was diligently laughed because the stones were allegedly hingekriegt decade nix gscheites. (In reality, in which even at the worst album still enough on it that you can love).

and then suddenly milled to this reef through the radios of the world: daaa Dadap! "Start Me Up" was the last big hit of the stones, their last number that really often played on the radio, the last one that has managed the classic list and in the hit-run of their concerts. Here is "Start Me Up" really not great composition and not a big text. but it is played here so sensationally groovy, guitars lose in love, Charlie and Bill swing so great, and Mick Jagger is again energized so beautiful: you make a dead man come, well please, once you go yet! Just imagine, they would, as originally planned, released the number as reggae. so are the stones: in brief moments of enlightenment transform cheese in gold.

"Hang fire" sound and also sounds exciting, to a blustering rocker, but enveloped in a feverish new-wave sound. the text is typical Jagger: "in the sweet old country where I come from, nobody ever works and nothing get's done". ought halt hackeln what! a text for the era of Thatcherism.

then "slave", that made me even then blown down, although I have nothing understood: the insane pangs of love! funk rock, painfully repetitive, mantra-like, to a magnificent saxophone of Sonny Rollins. "Little T & A" was and is funny: Keith Richards loves front and rear front of his lady (who does not?) And lets Noise guitar.

"Black Limousine" and "neighbors" are nice, but not significant bluesrock tees texts with fun. Ruckus! Luxury! Gemma lads!

Then came Page 2. I then never want to hear. now I hear them rather than the first. "Worried About You" is a fantastic, between tender and dangerous pendelndes piece Soulrock they last played live again. Mick sings again head voice, and the piece is characterized by electric piano, not guitar.

"Tops" is also black, soul, r & b, you can, yes, but a bit slow arg, it never turned up a gear. here you can hear again Mick Taylor roll his creamy licks.

"Heaven": sensational, sexy, soulful. a great, always overlooked piece, easily played, lewd grooving.

"No use in crying" is Ronnie's piece, an aching ballad like "Fool to Cry", but they never really lifts off, remains an unfulfilled promise, but that this does not uninteresting.

"Waiting on a Friend": well, its second big ballad for "Angie". Jagger phrased so far laid back that he nearly falls out of the song. The guitars are original, as it is the sax solo, the song itself is rather close to the ground ....

Conclusion: stick together such a concise, strong album from leftovers of the past decade, creating only the stones with their unbeatable economics.

but I think they have since quite some still matched.
