So far, I've heard nothing but positive feedback towards this tune, even (and especially) from people who have not liked the Stones since Tattoo.

And considering how bad the four new tunes on "40 Licks" were, this is really saying something!

Yeah, those did nothing to wet my appetite for a whole new cd, but all the buzz about this one seem to be true!


Charlie wants to go out with a bang.

I just heard the new one, Back of my Hand. It made my hair on my arm stand on end by halfway through it . It's a slow grinding blues song complete with Mick breaking out his harmonica. It sounds more like something left off Sticky Fingers and Exile than Rough Justice does.

They did it right this time. These new songs are blowing me away.

MIck can blow a SHIT HOT harp!

I hope there's lots of it throughout the album.

Uh-oh. 16 songs in Stones land genrally means overkill.

10 to 12 songs per album works best for them. 45 minutes, no more.

I know it's the nature of the beast in the CD age to load it up, but I prefer when a new album goes for maximum impact rather than misinterpreting quanityt for value for the dollar.

After all, look at the 6 pack...

IS THERE A VIDEO FOR " ROUGH JUSTICE " .HAVENT SEEN ANYTHING YET .I KNOW ,MTV WONT PLAY IT ,BUT VH1 WOULD ?

[Warham]

Albums are far to lengthy nowadays. Albums used to be 25-30 minutes tops back in the 60's. They hit for maximum impact by being so concise, as AP has already brilliantly mentioned.

[diamondD]

Yep, always too much room for filler, which dilutes the over-all impact. Classic VH would only be 3 cds if the 6 pack were released in today's enviroment.

On the other hand though, this is the first real Stones album in 8 years. They have been known to record a lot of shit at any given time. Most of the songs from Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile on Main Street were all written at the same time. Some Girls could have been a triple album easily, and even after Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You, there was still enough left from those sessions to make another decent album.

So after this much time without a proper album, and quite possibly being their last studio record together, maybe they just decided to go for it. With the songs I've heard from the album being as good as they are, I'd find it hard to believe anything's really gonna SUCK on this album
