Dirty Work
by The Rolling Stones

Oh dear. This is easily the worst stones album. I mean, they could have bothered to write some songs or something. This is the time that Keith referred to as world war three when jagger and himself were at each other's throats and it's funny hearing Mick sing fight, a song Keith wrote about kicking Jagger's head in. As for the music, the best songs are one hit (to the body), and the cover Harlem shuffle. That shuffle was the first single says that the band had no confidence in their own songs. When you hear tuneless drivel like the shouty hold back and the aforementioned fight you can hear why. The production is also a problem, i mean, listen to how loud those drums are on, too rude, ridiculous. It really is a poor album, the rockers especially. A few of the songs on the second side aren't too bad like winning ugly and back to zero, but I am really clutching at straws here, the picture on the record cover really says it all. Disappointing.

During my mid-teens, circa 1985-86, The Rolling Stones were my favourite band (they are still one of my favourites today) so this was the first 'new' album I could go out and buy. I thought the cover looked great in it's red shrink-wrap. Not the case once the shrink-wrap came off. The coloured clothes are ghastly. Not having many LP's in my collection back in 1986, I did play this album a hell of a lot. There are a few really good tracks but too much in the way of shouty, aggressive filler. The song 'Hold Back' is a tuneless dirge. Not an awful album to me but certainly one of their weakest. Favourite Track: 'Sleep Tonight' (Edited)

Richards che arriva a minacciare di morte Jagger quando questo pubblica "She's the boss", le canzoni scritte da separati in casa, Ron Wood che cerca di cucire ma anche lui non è più quello di "Some girls", Charlie Watts alle prese con una tossicodipendenza ( ! ), la morte di Ian Stewart, Bill Wyman che mugugna ma quello non è una novità. Ne esce un lavoro ( sporco… ) tutto chitarre, ben suonato, non altrettanto ben prodotto, con alcuni grandi pezzi ed altri al contrario che in altri momenti i Rolling Stones non avrebbero mai pubblicato.

worst album stones ever made by far

Pretty much the worst album the Stones ever did.
