If the Stones produced anything like this post 1989 people would be wetting themselves.

Well that's one opinion.
"Where The Boys Go" is classic.
Actually it's all great and a lot of SG is overrated (Except for Miss You, BTMMR and Shattered).

I think that says more about the weak music they've produced recently than how "great" the songs on ER are.

Yeah and still EMOTIONAL RESCUE was the weakest album they had released by then... It alrady showed the signs that would come a standard later: there was not actually outstanding songs any longer. Some good but not really classics. it easy clearly weaker in that sense than SOME GIRLS and TATTOO YOU. Unfortunately UNDERCOVER then continĂșed the trend of showing the artistic downhill of Jagger/Richards song factory of no able producing any longer outstanding songs.

I feel in more ways then one, the band was still riding off the high they were on from recording some girls during the recording of ER. So the result is they weren't able to capture as much creativity but there's still some moments of brilliance. Kind of like what GHS is to Exile.

I wouldnt say it is anywhere near as good as SG's ....but, it is a great recording, good production and some brilliant songs, particuarly ER, Down In the Hole, Dance. Sorry to say I'm not a fan of Indian Girl - worst song the Stones ever did. I return to this album every few years and it sounds better each time. Strangley, when it first came out I was fairly disappointed ...after TAttoo You it seemed like a weak, patchy filler cluttered mess...as someone said above, if they had released it last year or at the time of ABB we would have raved over it. Funny thing time init?

I think there are three albums into which the father time has been really kind: GOATS HEAD SOUP, BLACK AND BLUE and EMOTIONAL RESCUE. All of them were decleared quite quickly (after they heyday, or even then) some kind of career floppers, but I think as the years go by - and the Stones started releasing REALLY mediocre albums - their status and value has been revaluated. They have so much great unique things in them.

I care not.
I'm finally loving it after 32 years (most of which time it was under my bed).

Tattoo You was after ER.
