A small pleasure of a Stones album, an unassuming little set of rockers, without much snigger or sneer or swagger once Start Me up is out of the way. Here's a band that doesn't seem all that desperate to prove anything, inspired-by but not overly shackled-to its R&B revival roots, just a band making some tunes, from the thrillingly skitterey doo-wop of Hang Fire to the proto-Radiohead shimmer of Heaven. Even Little T&A sounds ahead of its time, like an aughts band reviving a Stonesy stomp with a shiny modern click.
Separate this album from the band The Rolling Stones and what you've got is a perfectly good, light, fun little romp of rough-polished melody and tone 4/5
