A Bigger Bang is the first Rolling Stones studio album in eight years. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards sat together to write the songs while waiting for Charlie Watts to recover from throat cancer, and the result is a mature return to their blues and rock roots. It's an energetic and defiant album, from "Sweet Neo-Con," a shot at the Bush administration, to "Dangerous Beauty," with its references to S&M (or is it Abu Ghraib?). The sixteen new songs find The Rolling Stones determined to show that even into their senior years, they can still strut it with spunk and cheek, and have a good time while doing it. USA Today says, "It's a mature record, yet it retains the Stones' signature swagger and defiance. And it may be their most topically diverse and emotionally honest album to date."
CD released September 6, 2005.
