Not a bad album. Video a little confusing for the first song. I didn't hate it, but not an album I would go out of my way to purchase. I rate it as "OK."

Generally speaking, I loathe the Stones. This album gets a passing grade primarily due to the nostalgia factor of Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. Wild Horses is one of the (very) few Stones songs that isn't complete garbage IMO.
