I can’t believe how good the new song is. The first song is what I expected. It’s ok and done by real professionals. The new song is a fucking Stones song. I love it, and I didn’t see that coming.

Maybe all the Andrew Watt hate can stop now. In SHittown? Nope. To paraphrase Carly, "Hating is the only thing that makes them feel they are alive."

Just glanced at that thread and Exile On My Street needs to shut the fuck up.

Dumb as a box of doorknobs but I can't hate him too much because he just seems to be a pleasant fellow having some fun. I'm sure one of you will dig up some horribly racist or misogynistic poat and I'll eat my words but for now he doesn't bother me.
The BEAVE on the other hand should choke on a hackney diamond

Got the new album on now.
I like what I’ve heard so far. Mick sounds fucking great!
(Yeah, maybe studio trickery was involved there somehow, but compare Jagger’s voice to Croaky McThumbs Aloft’s “geezer wheeze”.)

Played it on way in and have it blaring over gym speakers. This is really good so far and I haven’t like a Stones record for decades. Watt did a great job of making them sound modern without being too stiff. Yep, Mick makes the Gravelberry Pie King sound like shit. If Watt can do this to McCartney it’ll be his crowning achievement.

The Beatard SHites are going to totally shit their pants when (if?) “Now and Then” comes out and the very-last Beatles song proves to be a wet fart when compared to the overall quality of Hackney Diamonds.

Can’t find it now but some idiot was saying how Paul’s bass playing on Bite My Head Off is “ferocious”. It’s the same simple pattern over and over.

I really like it. Pitchfork gave it a 4.5, so it's scoring really high on the scale I use for Pitchfork Reviews. 4.5 is a solid failure for them, so I love it, natch. The only real changes on Jagger's vocals I heard are on Angry, and that sounded more like an artistic choice than a fix. I truly hated A Bigger Bang and I have way more Stones crap than The Beave does so I have to say I wasn't expecting much here. It certainly isn't Let It Bleed or even Some Girls, but I think eventually I'll put it in the camp of things like It's Only Rock N Roll.
My big complaint really doesn't have anything to do with The Stones. I called my favorite record store yesterday to make sure it was there. He said it's not in yet and the distro's he uses all still have all the new vinyl set to Pre-Order. So mine won't be here for a few days or a week or two. So the excuse seems to be heavy pre-ordering is the reason why. Now UMe is going to want the guy that owns the store I go to to push their crappy Black Friday rehash of records everyone can buy for three dollars, but with a colored vinyl record and a sticker for 57 bucks, but he can wait on new releases until they fulfill all their pre-orders. I'll stick with my store. He gets me Pat Todd and the Rankoutsiders records.

Hey guys, am I hearing the end of “Angry” wrong? Isn’t Mick saying “taking the piss” (the common British/Commonwealth expression)?
The various lyrics sites list it as “taking the pills”, as does this WaPo review:
I just cannot hear any “L” sound there at all, and Mick using the “taking the piss” expression would be perfectly appropriate.
What say you?
