I'm bumping this thread because this album is on my turntable and it's still beyond me how the Stones managed to make another record *this* good. It's ridiculous. Sweet Sounds Of Heaven would not misstand on any of their greatest albums. Whole Wide World is insanely good and really awesome lyrically as well. Live By The Sword is SO deliciously groovy, Bite My Head Off is a monster. Dreamy Skies is just an amazing place of country zen. This album hasn't bored me one bit since it's release. I've tried to purposely ignore it for a bit to check out new releases, classic releases or anything in between and it keeps finding it's way back on my turntable, in my cd player, in my car and on my phone. This is the album nobody dared to still expect the Stones to make. Greatest rock and roll band in history, period.
