The Rolling Stones - Dirty Work (1986) [USA 1st Press] hit

Listening to this, I thought back on the numerous negative reviews I'd seen for it, and was asking myself, "What the hell's so bad about it?" Apart from a couple songs--"Winning Ugly" and "Back To Zero" in particular--it doesn't sound partcularly 'mid-'80s-ish at all--it just sounds like a well-produced rock & roll album. And the tunes are CATCHY--"One Hit (To The Body)", the mind-blowing raging rant "Hold Back" (with Jagger totally singing his head off), and the highly amusing title track are all infectious and kickass, and their cover of "Harlem Shuffle" really grooves. "Fight" and the horn-spiked "Winning Ugly" are solidly enjoyable as well. The Keith Richards reggae spotlight "Too Rude" is catchy too--it's rather sloppily executed, but amusingly so.
