Nope. It stinks. Just listened to it. Has that 'Sad, Sad, Sad' throwaway vibe to it. Done in five minutes to pad out an absolutely awful album.

Another handy drinks coaster. "Undercover"? Good, stay that way. Shite song on a shite album. The beginning of the Big Decline.

I've always liked the song a lot. One of my favorites on the album. Mick rushes through the lyric for some reason. Much of the album feels speeded up and it is the first appearance of the dreaded click track.

strike the question from the record! he said he rushed lyrics thru the SONG...the rest was in reference to the album in general. one more outburst and i'll have you tossed from my court....see you for drinks, later, though.

Opposing counsel is badgering, but I withdraw the question. Rocky Dijon, you may stand down. Next witness, please.

I've always liked it. Great bridge. Nice drums, nice guitar licks, hilarious lyrics and great vocal delivery.

Oh and the backing vocals are top notch on this tune.

"why so serious!"

Yeah it is just good old fashioned fun rock n' roll! Good stuff, with some great guitar, and Mick sings wonderfully on it! LOVE IT.

Just curious - some people think Mick's lyrics for Rough Justice and mostly or more so Oh No Not You Again are atrocious and whatever coming from a 60 something year old yet some comments about All The Way Down are similar.

So is there...what's the term I'm looking for...dunno. Double standard? Some kind of bar that was crossed? Is it more of a wink and a giggle with All The Way Down than ONNYA? Just as bad? I like All The Way Down much more than either from A Bigger Bang but I've never thought of the lyrics to be so - I won't say the usual but it is/they are just some obviously entertaining rock'n'roll songs.

I don't really like "All the Way Down" much, but one thing in its favor is that it doesn't have the bad/sad/mad rhymes of the songs you mention. Sure, the title phrase is a lame Aerosmith-y crack, but in the verses mick at least tries to say something, though in an oddly clipped manner.

there is a body of fans who like this song and the next 2 on Undercover, which are all straightforward, and don't like the rest of the album. I'm not one of those.

'Rough Justice' belongs as one of the better B-Plus singles in the Stones chronology. Depending on how much longer they can tour, it has the ability to grow in stature as 'You Got Me Rocking' from Voodoo Lounge did. They've even opened concerts with YGMR. 'All The Way Down' has that hurried up, let's get this over with thing to it. I hate songs where they go immediately to the Chorus and pile drive it into the ground. I just listened to it again and we get at least 16 'She ran all the way, all the way, all the way, all the way downs'. The more I listen to it, the less there is to like. There's one part where mick's singing where I swear he's just going to give up and start mouthing nonsense syllables.
