 Breath of Fresh Air October 2, 2007

With new material sucking for years from this band, I thought this release opened the door for an alter new Stones experience. The sound is excellent too.
What's not to like here?

Well, I gotta admit, I don't play this record very much. About once a year or so I'll put it on, listen a bit, then take it off. The alternate version of out of time, which was a demo Mick did for Chris Farlowe doesn't light a candle to the version on the UK version of "Aftermath" or the shorter version on "Flowers." Likewise the version of "Heart of Stone" fails in comparison to the version on the UK version of "Out of Our Heads" and "Big Hits (High Tide and Green Grass). I guess I just can't wrap myself around the girl flower power back ground singers and the studio musicians ABKCO and former manage Allen Klein added. They just plane ruined those songs. "Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind" and "Each and Everyday of the Year" are just awful. There are other songs on this record too awful to mention as well, but somehow, I don't know how, Mick shines through the awful production of "Try a Little Harder." The cover version of Chuck Berry's "Don't Lie to Me," is alright. Mick's recording of Stevie Wonder's "I Don't Know Why" would have been a master piece in the hands of Jimmy Miller, here it is abismal. The real saving graces of this record are "Jiving Sister Fanny" and "Downtown Suzie. Mostly this record is pretty bad.

Maybe there is no certain answer to that, but if you consider Metamorphosis, you can see that some efforts have been done.
The essential idea of the album is to release some outtakes and alternate versions of songs, from "Out of Time" to "Memo from Turner": albums like Aftermath to Beggar's Banquet and Let it Bleed. There is great surprise to hear variations in some classics, like "Heart of Stone"; but there's always the sense of wanting more, and maybe there's the appealing idea of this album: to see that the real gems in the stone's songs are not in the vaults, but in every new album.
