It would be more appropriate to release an acoustic album of their most tender ballads. Shouldn't you be listening to the Sammy Hagar channel on Amazon Prime and wondering why people don't see Balance as Van Halen's apex? Or contemplating how Giuffria didn't have a larger cultural impact? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Glen Eisley is married to actress Olivia Hussy and she was in Franco Zeffirelli's 1968 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. So that serves to provide the cultural part of the equation at least.

You think the people talking in this thread actually know who The Killers are? 😄 Whole Wide World is my favorite song on the album after my first listen. Definitely a very solid album that I will give more listens too. That is not always a guarantee when a legendary band releases new material. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul getting fuzzy. What if Mick, Keith, and Ronnie just added Paul and Ringo to fill out bass and drums and toured as one band? What would it be called?

chemistry1973 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I am loving the album. Get Close is my favorite track. I did not like Angry at first and wrote it all off. But hearing the album, I’m very surprised. Keef rips on it for one, and Mick sounds incredible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I had my doubts after they decided to move on without Charlie but they proved me wrong. Definitely more like Steel Wheels and Bigger Bang than the two 90s albums and Dirty Work. Bridges is hands down their worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted October 22 Share Posted October 22 (edited) On 9/6/2023 at 11:07 PM, Mosher said: Album cover inspired by Iron Maiden's Dance of Death. Angry is too- simple? Easy listening? Lacking of any punch? I don't know what it is, but it feels really low energy. Nevertheless, like Dance of Death- maybe the inside is far superior to the outside. I really hope this isn't the best song. EDIT: I want to add that they sound like they can still sound good with the right material. I have to think something will turn out to sound good on this album. I finally listened to the whole album. I still think Angry sounds like a bad Stones rip-off by a band who has the skills to do better. Well, the rest of the album really is much better. Surprisingly better. I think this might be their best album in 40 years. Edited October 22 by Mosher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 It’s fine. They sound good for their age. Not a lot here that really excites me to be honest, excepting Sweet Sounds Of Heaven, which out of nowhere approaches Exile On Main St. territory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not think I've ever heard you sound so critical before as you are these days, with comments like this and the Blink album. I like it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnRogers Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 Are the previous two or three albums any good? I came to the Stones very late in life, they weren't metal enough for me. I knew they existed of course, I just didn't care. To me the Stones ended with Undercover, not that I gave a damn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
