The new Stones album is fantastic and gets my vote for album of the year imo !
IMO the best Album since Tattoo you. I did not expected that. Love it❤
Me too I'm blown away. It is such an energetic thrilling album! Not one bad song that it want to skip. I have a soft spot for Whole Wide World. Ending the album with Rolling Stone Blues is a very great idea, I just hope it is not their way to say to us "Farewell". They said they recorded 23 songs, so there might be another album coming up soon. At their age, they better not wait another 18 years!
This is the best RUclips review, I enjoy a fan just gushing after some great work, it’s enjoyable to me.
Hackney Diamonds is an excellent album, every track brings that Rolling Stones magic for me.
Thanks!
Great review. I too love Undercover btw. What makes Hackney Diamonds so fantastic is just how unpretentious this album is. They weren't trying to suggest that they do anything except make really really great rock and roll music. It's fun, the tunes are catchy and its a joy to listen to - over and over and over again!
I agree, and Mick even managed to drop the American Twang. 😆
That's the thing, it holds up to repeated listening. In fact, it gets better each time you listen.
I was looking forward to this album from my all time favorite rock band. And I had expected an ok record that didn’t fall through compared to their later releases. Kind of knew that The Stones wouldn’t risk their reputation by releasing a stinker...
But I hadn’t expected this. An album that’s very, very good all the way trough and totally relevant, not just because of the bands myth.
The Beatles showed us that stopping at the peak is a very impressive thing to do. And that has kind of been the ideal ever since.
But The Stones have showed us that keeping on trough the ups & downs of life can be just as impressive. The value of staying power. Why shouldn’t you keep on if it’s still valuable? And if quality drops a bit here and there, so what...? You can still come back as strong as ever.
We have just seen that...
Nicely said.
hackney diamonds is the best greatest and strongest rock album that the rolling stones has ever recorded and released in their great wonderful musical career. this completely rocks and totally kicks ass it needs to be fully cranked up all the way to full maximum volume it is a great wonderful masterpiece by the rolling stones.
Strong praise!
Lol..
It sucks
For me, Sweet Sounds of Heaven is on par with knocking on heaven’s door. It’s an all time great.
Glad you really liked it! This bad boy cracked my top ten for them. Yeah, I’m incredibly high on it.
I always liked Undercover as well! I ordered vinyl that I haven't gotten yet....I have heard 4 songs so far....really sounds great to me!
I love Undercover as well.
As a life long avid Stones fan, i'm trying to be imparial......
IT'S EXCELLENT!!
I'm a bit sad too, as something tells me that it's the last album they'll make. 👅❤️🎶
Could be, but from what I've heard they've got lots of extra songs from these sessions and have about 2/3 of another record ready to go.
@@amitytracks
I hope you're right.
I"ve got mine on order being sent in the mail. I'm excited!! You and others gave given this album great reviews. Haven't heard a bad review. Just think Mick and Keith are in their 80's and still kicking ass. Oh Ronnie is not far from being 80 himself. And Still Kicking Ass!! Mick has taken exceptional care of himself and always strives to be better vocally and in his presentation. The tracks I've heard Keith's vocals are outstanding. Keith and Ronnie's guitar work remains off the charts.
But Steve taking over for Charlie on the drums, has kept Charlie's legacy alive while bringing in his drumming style into the band and nailing it. He is making for himself a wonderful legacy and us fans to be amazed in him while remembering Charlie for everything he brought on stage every performance and in the recordings.
Rolling Stones fans will never forget Charlie Watts, but I also think we won't forget Steve either. And as for Mick, Keith, and Ronnie they are revered forever as long as there is time. In their 80's and it is just getting better!! Viva the Rolling Stones!!
Agree.
Depending on you
Sweet sounds of heaven
Dreamy skies
Get close
Classics!!!!
I think the new Rolling stones Album hackney Diamond's is very -very great. Terry M. From ERIE Pennsylvania
The new album is fantastic gets better on every listen!!
I was shocked by how good it is.
Really, really like this album. Killer. This came out of nowhere. Super impressed. For me the only let down track shows up all the way on Side B with the Keith Richards vocal; and that one's not that bad! I think Hackney Diamonds is better than Some Girls and Undercover, and equal to Tattoo You. High praise in my book (even though it's coming from little ol' me).
I really like the Keith song.
This album is the greatest rock album to be released in the past 30-35 yrs. It references LET IT BLEED in many was. It sounds 1 trillion× better than everything that's out. It is a brand new vintage 1970'S Rolling Stones album.
High praise!
Best Stones album since "Exile On Main St".
That's a bold statement.
@@amitytracksIt's way better than "Goat's Head Soup", and really everything up until now.
I absolutely agree with your assessment of "Hackney Diamonds". I am in my mid-sixties and absolutely love the Rolling Stones, could not live without them, been a hardcore fan since my early teenage years when "Sticky Fingers" was a current album. I was blown away when I first heard "Hackney Diamonds" in its entirety, so many good tracks. As you said, there isn't a single song on this album that doesn't belong. I'm simply gushing over how great this record is, and how inspired the Stones seem, playing with purpose and relevance. Mick's voice is so good, amazing that he can sound like this at this stage of his life. I'll add, like you, I think Undercover is a great album, always liked it. I recently listened to it again and I never understood why so many were dismissive of this album. I'll look forward to your review of this as you go through the discography. Note that I grew up, like you, on the U.S. versions of the Stones' albums except for "Aftermath" and "Between the Buttons". I purchased imports of these back in the 70's because I really wanted to hear these albums as the Stones intended them to be heard considering that these albums were the first to feature entirely original compositions by Jagger/Richards. Also, there was a noticeable sound quality difference. The British (in fact all European and Japanese vinyl records) had better pressings, better vinyl, which made for better sound off the turntable, like really better. I also agree with you that there are many good songs on latter-day Stones albums starting with "Steel Wheels". I have listened to these albums many times and I've found listening pleasure throughout. I will admit I'm biased, but once you understand that bands, like all humans, evolve, it allows for a fairer analysis of their output. I don't know if you intend on reviewing the reissued albums with bonus tracks that they've released since 2010 ("Exile", "Some Girls", "Sticky Fingers" (no unreleased tracks on this one, "Goats Head Soup", "Tattoo You") All of the bonus tracks on these were worthy of release. Yes, many were reworked with new vocals, but to me, this doesn't matter. These songs are generally all good in my opinion, and certainly worth having in the official Stones catalog where they belong. There are so many more in the vaults and I hope the Stones keep digging to give us more, reworked vocals or not. From "Undercover", I found, among others, from the 2021 bootleg "Fully Finished Studio Outtakes" a 7-minute song called "Can't Find Love". Maybe it didn't get released because it didn't fit the vibe of "Undercover" but it's a beautiful mid-tempo track featuring the weaving guitars of Keith and Ronnie, beautiful piano, and a great Mick vocal with some falsetto. Thanks again for your review of "Hackney Diamonds" I really enjoyed your commentary.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment. I would love to hear some Undercover outtakes.
Hello, I can only agree. After the first listen, I really like the record. It's a shame that "Living In A Ghosttown" wasn't included, I think the song is absolutely strong. In general, I really like the Stones' later work, as well as the solo records by Jagger and Richards. My favorite album is “Steel Wheels”; saw them on the Urban Jungle tour back 1990... beautiful memories. Greetings from germany... bye and take care.
True, that song does deserve a spot on a proper album.
This is a really good album. Every song is good.
It wouldn't surprise me if they win a Grammy award great record.
Love Under Cover. High benchmark it is.
Gaga does a GREAT job. Doesn't overwhelm and lets Jagger to the forefront. I'm sure she did exactly what they wanted. Great album. 4/5.
Agree. Gaga is fantastic here.
Let’s Jagger to the forefront??? Ahahah…
Thanx for the review! I still tried to undestand how good is this album, or it's just commercialized stuff.
I think it really is that good.
I love undercover,its in my top ten
It hasnt hit on me so far. I dont like Angry. As you say, too genérico. I like Sweet sounds of Heaven and Bite my head off. And Rolling Stone blues, of course.
It needs some more listening. We"ll see
It really does get better the more you listen. I liked it a lot more the second time through vs the first.
Hackney will overshadow Now and Then. Go figure. But at $16 for one song÷ 12 songs for $11.98. I appreciate Undercover, cuz I recall going to record stores when that was 'out'.
lol ,..the album sucks
This album is OK. I am one of the biggest Stones fans and own everything they released and hundreds of bootlegs. No matter what they do it can’t touch the albums that I bought upon release like Exile On Main St. The new one is better than A Bigger Bang but falls short of pretty much every other studio release for me. Sounds like a Jagger solo album to me. Not bad for 70 and 80 year olds though
(Consciously, I do not intend this to be mean, but it's funny to me.) Imagine in the future, when the Stones are all on stage in electric wheelchairs. Mick could still dance, by doing all kinds of spins in his chair. Maybe he could do wheelies. 🥲 This next idea, seems to me to be, brilliant! 🥲 They take their old song recordings, and remove Mick's vocal tracks on them. He records new vocals, with new lyrics and a new title for each. Then, they put the songs together, and release new albums. They could keep this going until they are all at least 90. Do you think anyone would suspect what they were/are/would be, doing?!! 😅 😂 🤣
They could pull it off.
Amityville horror did you say ?
I've only heard the entire album once. I think I enjoyed the first 2/3....then it seemed to limp home.
Steel Wheels>Undercover
Wrong!!
"Hackney Turds" more like...
You seem to be familiar with it.
Get a new hearing-aid matey!
Jagger with auto-tune, and an album jacket that looks like a cosmetics ad lol
It sounds AI generated
And looks it too.
Awful 😖
You never know. I'm sure some tinkering was done.
The RS have been crap for 50+ years.
Go back to sleep!
Why do you feel the need to say things like this?
It's been interesting to see how people will come after you when you don't think this album is their best. Maybe they think it's one of their best because they want it to be? I'm cool with the Stone's live obviously... but come on now.
does that mean you liked 'em 60 years ago ?
Yes.@@muttsez
