Rolling Stones: A Bigger Bang
CASE MEMORIAL LIBRARY CALL NUMBER: CD/ROCK/Rolling
ARTIST WEBSITE: http://www.rollingstones.com/home.php
Chuck Arnold wrote in People: "The Rolling Stones could never record another lick and still sell out stadiums with their considerable catalog. But eight years after releasing their last studio CD, 1997's Bridges to Babylon, the boys are back with a bang, proving that they are more than just the world's biggest oldies act. Indeed, with 16 tracks, the Stones' latest is their longest-running disc since their classic 1972 double album Exile on Main St. Even better, it is long on quality. They sound more fired-up than they have in years on bluesy, raw rockers like 'Rough Justice' and 'Oh No, Not You Again,' on which pouty-mouthed frontman Mick Jagger, at 62, still boasts that same sexy swagger. Meanwhile, twangy ballads such as the achingly regretful 'Biggest Mistake' demonstrate that the Stones were alt-country before alt-country was cool. Guitarist Keith Richards takes the lead on two songs, including the forlorn 'This Place Is Empty,' while the Stones take on President Bush on the biting 'Sweet Neo Con.' . . . "
