This is the death song of a no longer relevant 60's blues rock band who are trying to make more money to pay for their nursing home fees. It's always sad to hear an older band try to hang in the landscape of modern music. It just doesn't work. There is a statute of limitations on how long you can make music that doesn't make the general populace cringe. Perhaps it's once your lead singers voice is so old and weathered that it needs autotune in order to sound good enough to make a record. This meander into pop rock is kinda gross and off putting as well, considering they started life as a gritty blues rock number. I'm not the biggest Stones fan, but this sounds like music made by a band that the traditional Stones band would beat up for beer money. Please, just retire.
Dimery has completely lost focus on what this list is all about. He just threw a handful of random "New" albums at a wall and called it good enough so he could sell a few more books. The user who asked whether Elvis Costello is still making music made me laugh. The same could be asked about The Byrds lol.
Mick probably wants to "get close" to some woman so he can hear what she's saying to him, because they just dug him out of some sarcophagus to make this album.
As many have said, this album sounds.... Ok..... But when reviewed from the lens of the bands larger works, it's just a desparate plea to try and stay relevant. I'll remember the Stones for what they were thanks, not whatever this is....
