Album Notes
The Rolling Stones: Mick Jagger (vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards, vibraphone, bass guitar, percussion); Keith Richards (guitar, piano, bass guitar, background vocals); Ron Wood (guitar); Daryl Jones (bass guitar); Charlie Watts (drums).Additional personnel: Chuck Leavell (piano, organ); Don Was (piano); Matt Clifford (keyboards, vibraphone, programming); Lenny Castro (percussion); Blondie Chaplin (background vocals).In 2005, given their advanced age and the seemingly endless trajectory of their rollercoaster career, it is hard to believe that the Rolling Stones would have energy enough to remain standing, much less create an album of new, inspired, and vital material. But the World's Greatest Rock Band have been challenging assumptions since their earliest days, and with 2005's A BIGGER BANG, their first studio record since 1997's BRIDGES TO BABYLON, they surprise yet again by returning to classic form with all guns blazing.For starters, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are writing together again, and the album's 16 songs show a return to the revved-up, bluesy sound of the immortal STICKY FINGERS and EXILE ON MAIN STREET. Like those albums, this one bears potent doses of raw Chicago blues ("Back of My Hand"), honky-tonk balladry ("This Place is Empty"), mid-tempo melodic rock ("Let Me Down Slow"), simmering soul ("Laugh, I Nearly Died"), and barnstorming rock ("Rough Justice"), but what impresses most is how energized and fierce the band sounds, with churning rhythms, rollicking guitar riffs, and Mick yowling like it's 1971. A BIGGER BANG is the Stones' best and most cohesive effort since 1981's TATTOO YOU.

Editorial Reviews
4.5 out of 5 stars - ...A BIGGER BANG is just a straight-up, damn fine Rolling Stones albums, with no qualifiers or apologies necessary...Mojo (p.100) - 3 stars out of 5 - [A]rguably their most satisfying work since 1978's SOME GIRLS....[With] more spontaneous-sounding numbers that thrive on Charlie's authoritative tub-thumping and Keith and Ronnie's raucous, dovetailing guitars.Uncut (p.92) - 5 stars out of 5 - What makes A BIGGER BANG so terrific is the Stones turning the clock back to the raw bravado of their prime and partying like it's 1972.

  A Bigger Bang - The Rolling Stones
Review created: 14/05/08

This cd is an excellent example of, possibly the greatest rock and roll band, in the middle of the noughties. During the 60's and 70's the Stones were the boldest, most spectacular and highest selling group. Most of the songs that people associate with the Stones come from these two decades. In this cd there are no revamped hits, but all new (in 2005) songs. The "Rain fall down" was a single with a rather startling video and it would probably be the most recognised of any songs on his cd. Originally the Stones were known as a blues/ rhythm and blues band due to their main influences being the black American blues singers. In this cd three songs have a strong blues sound and others a more slow ballard type in the genre of "Lady Jane" and others. Yet other tracks rock along (I particuarly like "Look what the cat dragged in" but that is a subjective thing). To sum up if you want a good cd from the Stones, with very few recognised tunes but a balanced good performance, indicative of the grand tours that the Stones were known for in that period 90's, 00's this is a good cd for reclaiming that period.
