Im engl. "UNCUT" Magazine ist ein Review zum neuen Stones Album "A Bigger Bang":
Rough Justice
A kick-ass rocker, full of animal imagery about roosters, chickens, cocks,
foxes and even a bat out of hell. At one point, Mick sings "put your lips
to my hips and tell me what's on your mind".
Let Me Slow Down
One of the best tune on the record, with a great femme fatale lyric
("there's a swish in your step and a gleam in your eye") and a dramatic
chorus with a lovely descending melody, "I said baby, baby, baby, let me
down real slow.''
It Won't Take Long
Classic "Heart Of Stone" style Mick put-down lyrics as he tells the girl
he'll soon forget her, accompanied by great dual guitar work form Keith
and Ronnie.
Rain Fell Down
A touch of New Orleans funk and a circular, clanging Meters-style guitar
motif from Keith. Chugs along rather like Dylan's "Slow Train Coming".
Streets Of Love
Starts with mock-Renaissance guitar chords, like "Lady Jane" or "Tears Go By", and builds into a big stadium ballad, with Mick deliciously mouthing lyrics about stalking the streets of love and confessing ''I must admit I was
awful bad. . .''
The Back Of My Hand
Raw and dirty blues, fantastic slide guitar, wailing harmonica, Mick yelping like a cat on heat. The ghost Of Muddy Waters walks.
This Place Is Empty
Great piano-led ballad sung by Keith but very rootsy. Real honky-tonk-style
tack piano and Keith crooning ''treat me sweet and cruel".
She Saw Me Coming
Mick on the prowl again - only this time his prey was wise to the old
predator's tricks.
Biggest Mistake
Mick admits to making an error? Surely some mistake. Needless to say
there's a girl at the bottom of it...
Oh No, Not You Again
Storming Sticky Fingers-era rocker with a lyric about ''Oh no not you again, fuckin' up my life...'' previewed in the band's surprise live set on the balcony of New York's Juilliard School when they announced their new tour in May.
Dangerous Beauty
Mid-tempo track on which Mick explains how he could always resist everything but temptation.
Laugh I Nearly Died
A simmering mid-tempo groove with Mick sounding more impassioned than in years - "Been travelling far and wide, wondering who's gonna be my guide... I'm so sick and tired... I feel so despised... Laugh? Laugh? Laugh? I nearly died."
Sweet Neo Con
The biggest surprise. We thought Mick was an old Thatcherite. But here he
sticks it to Bush and co right between the eyes. ''You say you are a Christian , I think you are a hypocrite,'' he spits in the opening line to a tune a little like Dylan's "Masters Of War", while the chorus sneers, ''How come you're so wrong, my sweet neo-con.'' A Virgin spokeswoman in the US has already put out a panicky statement denying it's about Bush or anyone on the White House (can't risk upsetting Clear Channel, can we?). But if you believe that, you'll believe anything.
Look What The Cat Dragged In
Another rocker with a classic riff and typical Jagger lyric.
Driving Too Fast
Keith in overdrive on a pounding riff that rocks like its 1971.
Infamy
The album ends with Keith stepping up to the mic again for his second wasted-sounding vocal of the album.
