Should we rejoice?

Whole seven years after "A Bigger Bang", most Stones fans would now probably had at least no objection to a completely new album in 50 of our era, who probably hoped rather greedy it. The supposing even those who for forty years not tire of pointing out mantra that the best albums were those of sacred tetralogy 1968-1972, ie "Beggars Banquet," "Let It Bleed", "Sticky Fingers" and "Exile on Main St. ".
Dear members of that generation, it can see me as outrageous a jungspündigen late-born to, but I can no longer hear that. These four albums were, are and will undoubtedly great, but it is not so, that the Stones since only B-Ware had delivered. Clear contradiction of a rebellious who sashayed with cries of murder in the world in the "Some Girls". And even at the risk that must now comply with some of the pacemaker to its determination, the fan I was "Bridges to Babylon".
That's in addition to the music, probably the greatest achievement of the band that they reach across generations and people fascinated and thus connects together.

And all those who are now re-sing the meantime even a bit the old fashioned song "Must that be, that one still on stage the Wild Man playing at this age?" had replied: Yes dammit!
There are 1) no law that prohibits, 2) if there were the law, then it is high time it necessary to abolish civil disobedience, 3) is thus not harmed anyone and 4) if you do not like anyone, there is no compulsion to concert yet to hear of the plates from the Preserve. And yes, the tickets are expensive and so the men are all four multiple millionaires and what I still know everything - see 4)!

Now appears "Grrr!" and somehow was also to be expected. Compilations there over the decades probably more than regular albums, most wanted somehow be a "Best of" and were there at the time of its publication, more or less, but only with "Forty Licks" Ten years ago, managed a truly holistic retrospective. All Sampler hitherto went either to 1970 or began there (record companies change).
But in the last decade was "A Bigger Bang" except above mentioned no other regular studio album and the list of big hits, within the meaning of the songs everyone knows, has now certainly not extended in the last decade. So why yet another extensive showcase?

Well, because you so celebrates the festivals as they fall. As this reviewer's products in each of the five circumferentially very different editions of "Grrr!" will be to read, I will concentrate on the essentials.

And these are after all, the two new songs "Gloom and Doom" and "One More Shot". As much as me a dozen new songs would have been better, two are still two more than none and therefore cause for celebration! (At this point would be a little scene applause for my mathematical performance attached)
And both show surely quite clearly that the frog has lure! Without now want to ponder themselves on age and rock music, but that men with close to 70 (from either side, Charlie Watts has the experience already through) nor can radiate as much fire, I would not have dared to hope. I'll still love the Stones when they secrete sometime nonagenarian relaxed blues, but it's good to know that they can still rausrotzen two new songs really, not even leave the age Milde guess. But this for two songs, heard "Grrr!" in every Stones Collection.

Only in what issue?
2-CD (40 tracks):
Is it really a mainly to the two new songs, this is enough, because everything else already has and knows.
3-CD (50 tracks):
The issue that will probably reach the highest numbers. 50 songs making the 50th Anniversary not only makes sense, but means that in fact all the big hits are represented. Especially for beginners and new discoverers that it indeed fortunately still are, a really successful cross Streif by half a century of history Stones.
Nota bene, it is very commendable that was different this time than in "Forty Licks" attention to chronology. It does not start in the years back and forth and so can the development, reduced to the big hits, wonderfully simultaneously hear.
3-CD Deluxe (50 tracks, opulent Cover):
Same tracklist in very lush presentation.
5-LP (50 tracks):
Vinyl remains vinyl remains vinyl! It's like religion and I am not fit to be a missionary. Who loves it, like me, who would be tears in his eyes, and who is not, which are those pressing care less. And that's fine too.
4-CD + Bonus abundant (80 + 9 Tracks):
The ultimate box (admittedly very intense price). The Greatest Hits program will be extended here on 4 CDs and 80 tracks (incl. The two new). The big hits were here supplemented by relevant singles. But that's not all. On a 5.CD are five demo tracks IBC Sessions from 1963, on a single-vinyl again four more songs that were recorded in the early 60s live at the BBC. The whole in a box with all kinds of toys and a very elaborate photo book.
But so beautiful that thing is, would not the right occasion and the context was finally a DVD into pack with containing all the Rolling Stones video clip?
MP3 Download (40 or 50 tracks):
Och nöö let, be good! Buys plates people!

Two really strong new songs and a retrospective which is thought through and on this occasion also legitimate, knowing that a best of for artistic and creative criteria actually never should receive highest rating. And to answer the initial question: So I'll do it. Yes!
