: Like Goat's Head, I've grown to like it more over time. However, don't go overboard. The lyrics are pretty weak and silly. The "black n blue" battering thing was not cool. The album cover was the worst (next to the androgyous Angie/Mick-wearing-a -bonnet thing or whatever on GHS).
: I think on1y Stones fans can appreciate it. Most people I knew at the time thought it sounded a little light in the loafers for the Stones. All that sha la la la, Daddy you're a fool and Hot Stuff!! stuff.
: Musically, though, you're right. There's a lot of variety and color (if sound can have a color). But you could be crucified hear for suggesting that the Stones should experiment with their sound or (God forbid) bring in other musicians!!!
Possibly experiment with their sound??? Christ no, we wouldn't want that now, would we?!?
