Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: A fresh, uncompromising attempt to incorporate 1978 pop techniques into the band's familiar sound, Some Girls opens with the disco sass of "Miss You" and closes with the self-destructive punk of "Shattered." (Both songs, especially "Miss You," with its distinctive Mel Collins sax solo, remain live showstoppers.) So the Stones declared credibility in the dance circuit without sacrificing their hard-rock reputation. Though the anti-love "Beast of Burden" and the stylishly slow "Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)" continue to rack up the most airplay, the obscurities stand up surprisingly well. Worth replaying: Keith Richards's rickety rocker "Before They Make Me Run." --Steve Knopper Amazon.com: Few rock stars have played in the intersection of real life, image, and fans' imaginations as smartly (and comically) as Mick Jagger does on Some Girls. With the Stones again running at top pace, Jagger aims his gimlet eye at his and the boys' gossip-column lives (the Chuck Berryish "Respectable," the archly blues-wailing title track), his collapsing marriage (where was Bianca when Mick's pals were trying to hook him up with the "Puerto Rican girls who're just dyin' to meetchoo?) and the mores and modes of New York society in the Studio 54 era (practically everything here). Slot in Keith's lament "Before They Make Me Run," and this is one of the greatest Stones albums. --Rickey Wright Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Linda QThis is one of the best Stones albums ever!!! I love the way they poke fun (especially about New York in Shattered.) Every song on this album is different in its own way and you just cannot sit still. If you can sit still during this album you are surely dead. After dancing around for the whole album I am pooped. It is GREAT. One of their best. Rating: - A great album from rock's greatest singles bandI've always found The Rolling Stones to be a great singles band whose albums often come up a bit short. SOME GIRLS does not suffer from this let down as all the songs are of premium quality. Starting out with the proto-disco of "Miss You," There really isn't a let down throughout. From the wicked "When The Whip Comes Down" to the intense "Shattered," this is a recording that is Stones classic. Mick is fully engaged, vocals that go from the conceit of "Some Girls" to the country croon of "Far Away Eyes" without a hitch. He sells the sexual growl as easily as the bluesy asides; few rockers can compare with Mick when he's at the top of his game. Richards' works with his usual assurance; with Wood fleshing out the sound to create a slashing force ...

They even managed a banned cover, not so easy in the late 70's. Impervious, oblivious, grunting, grumpy and leering, they grind through a bar band's second-rate set of grimacing guitar rockers, slouchy and tired. That is the beauty of it, the Stones finally become those ancient jaded bluesmen they once emulated. It's diabolical to be so old and utterly immature. Rating: - there are nice songs on this albumthis is a nice album. there are nice songs on this album. the cover art is nice. the cut-out jacket with the interchangeable sleeve promotes an element of fun. the musical contributors are very talented with their upbeat songs and childish humor. the singer is particularly enthusiastic with finger-snapping guitar music. Rating:  - Some girlsThose who are seeking to expand your Rolling stones collection or begin it, I'd leave this around the bottom of the list. Starts off great with "Miss You" then has trouble until "Far Away Eyes" runs into a road block again, but finishes terrifically with "Shattered" and "Beast of Burden". |
