Music reviews of Voodoo Lounge (Reis)
Music Review: Stones least rocking album ever.
Rating: 2 Stars
As much as people slag the Stones' work in the 1980s, to me this is their worst album. It breaks down like this:
1. Love Is Strong (9/10) Great opening song. A midtempo groove song with Mick purring seductively.
2. You Got Me Rocking (9/10) Great rocker. It actually took a while to grow on me, but one of my favorites from the '90s.
3. Sparks Will Fly (6/10) Decent rocker. Not too different from previous song, but not as good.
4. The Worst (5/10) Strange place to put a country-ish Keith ballad. And at just over 2 minutes, it has a throwaway feel. Could've been really good if they'd developed it more.
5. New Faces (4/10) Slow, spare song. Harpsichord immediately takes one back to '60s era, but nowhere near as good or memorable.
6. Moon Is Up (5/10) Very strange, off-putting drum sound. Obviously trying out something different here. Vaguely psychedelic, but then harmonica comes in... it's interesting, but again sounds under-developed.
7. Out Of Tears (6/10) Decent ballad, except that it sounds a little lifeless and at 5:30, is too long by at least a minute.
8. I Go Wild (5/10) Midtempo rocker never really builds to anything.
9. Brand New Car (5/10) Another midtempo song. It's silly (do we really need any more songs where cars=sexual innuendo?), but it does have a cool little groove.
10. Sweethearts Together (4/10) Another slow song. This one can't decide whether to go the country route or not and ends up just sounding like an idea never fully developed. Another lifeless performance, too. Were they going for a breezy Jimmy Buffet sound?
11. Suck On The Jugular (3/10) Another midtempo thing that goes nowhere fast. Really stupid, too. Just ends up in the repeated refrain of "all get together and feel all right." Total throwaway.
12. Blinded By Rainbows (4/10) The harpsichord reappears for another ballad. The chorus is okay, but by this point in the album, it just drags.
13. Baby Break It Down (5/10) Yet another midtempo song. Parts of it recall Exile-era. But the performance is lifeless and again, this just sounds undeveloped. Another could've been...
14. Thru And Thru (3/10) Another Keith ballad. And at 6:00, it's too long. By this point in the album, is anyone still awake?
15. Mean Disposition (4/10) Uptempo song that kind of harkens back to the '60s again. Not bad, but again, sounds tossed off and unfinished. After an hour of snooze... does it even matter?
B-SIDES
16. The Storm (5/10) Midtempo bluesy number. Not great, but better than most of the album tracks.
17. So Young (5/10) Uptempo bluesy number. Again, not stellar, but has more life than most of the album.
18. Jump On Top Of Me (5/10) Midtempo rocker. Not bad, not great.
19. I'm Gonna Drive (5/10) Another midtempo rocker. Again, not great but better than most of the album.
So, overall, more than any other album, this is a snoozer. Despite the good start, it quickly devolves into slow tempos and under-developed material. Most people consider Dirty Work to be their lowest point, but even that album keeps the tempo up and rocks some.
Voodoo Lounge might have been salvaged if they'd cut 6 or 7 songs, replaced them with some of the b-sides and kept it a short 10 song/42 minute album. Unfortunately, this is just... the worst, to quote Keith.

Description of Voodoo Lounge (Reis)
Recorded in Dublin and in Los Angeles, and produced by Don Was, Voodoo Lounge topped the British charts on its release in 1994. The rockers Love Is Strong - featuring Jagger on harmonica - You Got Me Rocking and I Go Wild all performed strongly in the UK Top 40, while Out Of Tears continued the group's fine tradition of late-night, soul-searching, soul-infused ballads and featured a killer vocal performance by Jagger. The singer also excelled on the equally contemplative Blinded By Rainbows, a forgotten gem in their repertoire, and the swaggering Sparks Will Fly, driven by the ever-excellent Charlie Watts on drums. Voodoo Lounge deservedly won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album in 1995.Classic Rock CDs
