![]() That's your opinion, you can't say its absolutely better, you think it's better, to my ears the new album sounds like a Jagger solo album not a Stones album, it's an 80 year old drying to sound young. Hackney Diamonds is way better than ABB by a large margin. And I’d love to hear a review of ABB done recently. Have any of you revisited abb recently? I dare you to. Quote keefgotsoul Hackney is absolutely better than A Bigger Bang. The other tracks from HD are still open for impressions as I haven't really heard them often enough just yet. From HD, I can't say I much enjoy "Bite My Head Off" and that track will probably become one I skip over time. Anyway, my point is I still enjoy some of ABB though I will skip over some of its tracks (such as "Sweet Neo Con"). I also think that "Mess It Up" may develop into a favourite of mine (though I was a mildly disappointed that the original clip of "Really Wanna Tell The Truth" wasn't fully incorporated as such into "Mess It Up" - it seems it's been altered, and I really enjoyed that original teaser clip). Of the two new HD singles, "Angry" never really did grab me but I do enjoy "Sweet Sounds of Heaven". For myself, I think both albums will have had their share of hits and misses, when all is said and done. In defence of ABB, I still prefer "Rough Justice", "Rain Fall Down", "This Place Is Empty" and "Laugh I Nearly Died" to any of the tracks I've heard so far from HD, though that may change over time with repeated listens. I love the two new singles though and I'm proud of them and they blew me away, as far the album it's the same as ABB, i doubt I'll go back to it many times and if i do i will skip tracks. It is the quality of the results that matter. Re-inventing oneself is not a guarantee of greatness in itself or even a value of its own. Why a joke? Those two Dylan albums are modern classics - well, at least TIME OUT OF MIND non-disputed is, released 26 years ago - but not because Dylan, once again, re-invented himself, but because those are great albums. Those two Dylan albums offer a complete new sound and feeling while Hackney Diamonds is a rather typical Stones/Jagger album. The biggest difference between Hackney Diamonds and Time Out Of Mind as well as Love & Theft is that Hackney Diamonds in in the vein with a lot of things the Stones done before while Time Out Of Mind as well as Love & Theft break away from almost everything Dylan has done before. Quote wesley (…) This album compares to Bob Dylan's two modern classics from the 2000s Modern Times and Time out of Mind, at least I still play them continuously. A Bigger Bang, IMHO, the weakest output, and compared to that, it's a huge step up! This album compares to Bob Dylan's two modern classics from the 2000s Modern Times and Time out of Mind, at least I still play them continuously. Every album after that is a mixed success either partly filler songs, too polished sound world, etc. ![]() Andy Watt is a producer wizard! This is the most intact and real band sounding album since Tattoo You (1980). Charlie on the drums in Mess it Up (made in 2019) has a bit of an eerie feel, but when you listen to it you can find the familiar swinging Master (Steve Jordan is a really tough and suitable drummer for Stones) and in Live by the Sword both Charlie and Bill Wyman, the song swings like in the -70s. An intact whole, which brings out the best sides of the Stones (rock: Bite My Head of, country Dreamy Skies, brilliant single releases pop-rock Angry and soul classic Sweet Sounds of Heaven, etc.). Well, this is going to be a classic album! Not a single weak song, the compositions, arrangements, sounds and especially the band playing are top-class.
