I quite like it, but I guess I'm one of the few people who would prefer Stones albums without Keith's ballads (he should make solo albums in this style instead).

I really can't understand how come the Rolling Stones album has three songs totally free of any Jagger's participation. One song with Keith on vocal is enough. And if he wants to sing more he has to make a solo album.

In September of '97, I was lucky enough to get an advance cassette of the album and I tried--without much success--to work and write at my desk while having a first listen on headphones.
I was excited by the album as a whole, but when I got to the end and heard "How Can I Stop," I just started laughing. The idea that he had broken so free of that "hard shell" to create something so distinctive and spiritual, and to do this in 1997...I was in a state of joy and utter disbelief. And, along with "Thief" (and the album as a whole) it still holds up.
I think it was over in the "Songs From The 90's That Don't Suck" thread where the use of the word "magnificent" was being debated.
"How Can I Stop" is magnificent: Soulful, deep, free, and fearless. A mature Rolling Stones, wise with years and at the peak of their creative powers. God, how I wish it had been the jumping-off point for a new golden era...
