Free Music Notes for Very Best of Mick Jagger
Free Music Review: not bad, but not good
Hit: 3 Stars
Making a collection of lyrics, in the case of Mr. Jagger, is quite difficult; anyway, I think this is not absolutely a milestone in rocck musicFree Music Review: Too much filler, considering it's missing at least 2 hit singles
Hit: 2 Stars
OK, maybe "filler" is too strong a word, as none of these tracks are really bad. But considering Jagger really hasn't had a whole albums' worth of solo hits, it's inexcusable to leave off two of the best: "Hard Woman" is probably his best solo record, and it had that cool computer-animated video that probably helped make it a HIT. And 1987's "Throwaway" didn't make quite such a splash, but it was a charting single and certainly doesn't deserve (sorry) to be thrown away.
The title song to the film "Ruthless People" was never a single, but it was a great, funny song, and I would easily rank it higher than half the songs here. But apparently Jagger himself hand-picked the songs for this album. So I guess he doesn't really care for these songs that I really like (and I'm sure I'm not alone here).
Just buy the solo albums...it's not like there's that many of them.
Free Music Review: Missing so many good tracks...even though rarities are welcome
Hit: 2 Stars
I burned my own copy of what I felt was the very best of Mick Jagger years ago and found that the actual collection leaves off a lot of stuff that's in some cases superior to what's on the album. Where's "Use Me", "Turn the Girl Loose", "Lonely at the Top", "Running Out of Luck", "She's the Boss", "Goddess in the Doorway", "Radio Control", "Shoot Off Your Mouth", "Throwaway", "Ruthless People" or even "I'm Ringing" (rare b-side unreleased to CD)?Free Music Review: Loudness war strikes again
Hit: 2 Stars
I was so excited to hear the Lennon collaboration of Too Many Cooks only to find it has fallen victim to what is known as the loundess war, the whole CD is victim as well. In a nutshell that means the songs are set at a loud volume making it sound bigger and more like current music. If you turn it up at home it becomes distorted, sounds great on my laptop's speakers but no good rocking out on my home speakers and subwoofer...sorry John.Free Music Review: Pure pablum
Hit: 1 Stars
Mick Jagger is a legend as lead singer of The Rolling Stones, but as a solo artist he is totally forgettable. The dreadful duet with David Bowie was probably the worst teaming of two singers ever. Nothing else on here amounts to much either. Buy a Rolling Stones album, any one from the 1960s, and you will be far more entertained. These tracks are lousy.
