Undercover Reviews:
Stones 
2009-11-09 - Just like the Beatles, it is hard to decide to pick a favorite Rolling Stones LP. This one of my favorites and the latest. I recieved it fast and in great shape.
The Stones Keep On Truckin', Sort Of 
2009-11-01 - Hey, in 2009 no one, including this reviewer, NEEDS to comment on the fact that The Rolling Stones, pound for pound, have over forty plus years earned their place as the number one band in the rock `n' roll pantheon. Still, it is interesting to listen once again to the guys when they were at the height of their musical powers (and as high, most of the time, as Georgia pines). This album from the tail end of their most creative period , moreover, unlike let us say Bob Dylan who has produced more creative work for longer, is the "golden era" of the Stone Age. The album, however, is a little uneven in spots reflecting, I think, a certain exhaustion of material that they could call their totally their own unless the time when they owned a big chunk of rock 'n'roll in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The age of a more sedate music (at least technically) was approaching and I think there was some confusion about whether to embrace it or "spoof" it. Still the title track "Undercover" and "pretty Beat" are stick outs in this CD. I do not think anything here qualifies in their "greatest hits" vault. Right?
1983 Rolling Stones Record. Remastered 2009. 
2009-10-19 - Maybe not as good as Some Girls, but it came close. The songs are generally slick and polished productions, with good sound quality as well.
Stones vs. The Eighties
2009-09-07 - Though a mixed bag of songs, "Undercover" at least shows the Stones embracing the 80's with vigor- everything bounces and surges with the latest technology available (though "Too Much Blood" does sound too close to "Thriller" for its own good). If Mick's worriesome bark is coming more to the fore, at least he offers some good retrospective lyrics ("How the years rush on by/Weddings, birthdays, suicides" on "All The Way Down"; "Saw you last night on a rerun soup/you were young and beautiful, already without hope" on "Too Tough").
The South American politics-laden title track and "Too Much Blood" with its shimmering central riff are the "Sympathy" and "Streetfighting Man" of the album, so to speak; the big numbers that anchor everything else. Given a choice of great to at least so-so tracks on "Undercover," Why the Stones chose to play the substandard "She Was Hot" on the last tour is anybody's guess. Even the sinewy "Tie You Up (The Pain of Love)" has more intrigue. Sometimes Keith plays "Wanna Hold You"
for his solo spot. That's life.
Are you kidding me? 
2009-07-26 - They can remaster this piece of crap 10 more times and still wouldn't make this a good album... The worst album of the stones that I care bout to listen to... Everything after tattoo you sucks
