Free Music Notes for Bigger Bang
Free Music Review: A Somewhat Bigger Bang
Hit: 5 Stars
This expanded edition of "A Bigger Bang", which might easily be dismissed as a ripoff, is from my perspective recommended, without reservation, to any Stones fan who has yet to buy the superb new studio album, released in September 2005. The 'regular' edition of "A Bigger Bang" captures the Stones comitted and focused, packed with 16 new original songs on a 65-minute CD (also available as a double vinyl album). The Stones' new album reached # 3 in the "Billboard" Top 200 chart, but despite impressive first week sales has received very little airplay (notwithstanding the massive and well received tour intended to promote it), certainly not enough to nudge it into true big hit status. One must assume there are many folks out there who own a decent Stones collection but have not yet picked up the group's fine new album. As many other reviews indicate, A.B.B posesses a vitality and authority doubters could hardly have expected; the high quality of the material, sense of committment and overall high energy level, make this one of the best rock albums of the year. As originally conceived and recorded ABB is remarkably lean, recalling "Some Girls", a 'comeback' from a long ago era - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ron Wood sound re-invigorated (especially coming after the rather slight quartet of new tracks included on 2002's "Forty Licks"), with the band playing most of the instruments and occasional contributions from bassist Darryl Jones and keyboardist Chuck Leavell. But "Bang" is most remarkable for its directness, energy, and concision - quite a contrast to the expansive sonic experimentation (and considerable cast of guest musicians and producers) of 1997's "Bridges To Babylon." "A Bigger Bang" is not a complacent work by the band. In fact, after 43 years one can see and hear the band still evolving. Mick Jagger plays guitar on nearly every track, plus harmonica, keyboards, and (on six tracks) bass - the latter a first. Keith Richards and Ron Wood may not display the rapport they once had, but both turn in terrific performances, as does Charlie Watts, who sounds unstoppable a year after his bout with throat cancer. There are wry explorations of blues themes ('Rough Justice') subtle ('Back Of My Hand', 'Dangerous Beauty') and not so subtle ('Neocon') social and political commentary, and the reflections on age and mortality one has come to expect from late-period Stones. The bulk of the material coheres, resonates, and rewards repeated listenings - if anything, there's a somewhat dark (occasionally darkly humorous) tone to the album, as befits the times we're living in.
As for the Bonus DVD, it contains two new songs, and both 'Don't Wanna Go Home' and especially "Under the Radar" are marvellous. And Ashley Beedle's remix of "Rain Fall Down" is deeply funky. I can understand fans' irritation, and even reluctance to re-buy a current album for a couple of new songs, but for anybody else interested in a terrific new work by The Rolling Stones, the Bonus/DVD edition expands on a fine new CD by a still great band, and since it is reasonably priced the best way to go, collecting all 18 new studio tracks issued this year (all but one - the bluesy charity single 'Hurricane' which is slated to appear on the upcoming DVD boxed set).
As for the rest of the DVD, the other supplementary material is entertaining but slight: A rather brief "making of" ABB documentary, with studio footage, three videos, lesser odds and ends of the , and a somewhat brief 'making of' type segment are worth a view or two, but are hardly essential.
