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.

Dirty Work would have been Giuffria’s masterpiece.

Hey this album is much more energetic, vital and kick ass than the last few late-era albums, maybe going back even longer than that. Mick's vocals seem less R'n'B and a bit more "English" than they have since maybe the 60s albums. On Bite My Head Off he almost sounds punkish.

Been in heavy rotation since it was released.  I was skeptical of the pre-release hype, about it being the best thing since Tattoo You, and the most focused since Some Girls….I mean I like a lot of what they released from Emotional Rescue (ok that one took a while to grow on me, but it has aged remarkably well), Undercover, Dirty Work (not much, but a song or two), Steel Wheels, Voodoo Lounge, Bridges to Babylon, A Bigger Bang and Blue and Lonesome…..but darn it, after playing it a few times a week since it was released I have to agree.  It is their most focused album since Some Girls.  No real filler, no half baked songs…all complete honed songs.  
 

Much better than I expected…and more hooks than a tackle box 

 

Easily a top two album of the year for me.
