Oh, god what IS this?!

Gave this a 1 on first listen for some reason (probably based on my how-much-do-I-want-it-In-my-RP_Favorites-playlist criterion), but now, after a few glasses of wine, it seems more listenable, if not likeable.

you know...
for a moment there...
I thought this PLAGUE had passed...
WRONG.

Good beat, interesting style... total departure for the Mick. I like it. C'mon kids! let go of your preconceived notions and just listen to it fresh.

it is such a shame that a band that comprises mick jagger and joss stone is only not worse than black eyed peas...

Who let Mick in?

Less Mick would actually improve this. Hard to listen to for some reason...

Ann Marie Simpson-Calhoun is an American violinist (play with Widespread Panic , Dave Matthews Band , Jethro Tull , Ian Anderson , Steve Vai band, Ben Harper , Foo Fighters , Hans Zimmer , Damien Marley )

The existence of "SuperHeavy" was secret until May of 2011. SuperHeavy was Dave Stewart 's idea. Inspired by the sounds washing into his home in St Ann's Bay, Jamaica . Stewart and Mick had mutual liking for Indian orchestrations; thus, A. R. Rahman was added to the supergroup. SuperHeavy is rounded out by Marley's rhythm section of bassist/composer Shiah Coore and drummer Courtney Diedrick along with a longtime Stewart collaborator, rock violinist Ann Marie Calhoun . Band members are:

Mick Jagger - Vocals, Guitar, 68 y. A. R. Rahman - Vocals, Piano, Synthesizer, Guitar, Bass, Percussion, String Arrangement., 46. Joss Stone - Vocals, 24 y.old Damian Marley - Vocals, 33. Dave Stewart - Guitar, Backing Vocals, 59. Ann Marie Calhoun - Violin, 32. Shiah Coore - Bass Courtney Diedrick - Drums

Unlike many albums recently published by other artists and bands, in "SuperHeavy" all songs that make up this album are original, of great artistic quality, creativity and good taste, innovation, varied rhythms, refined, appealing lyrics, and splendid execution. It is uncommon, and even surprising result when we look at the average age of the musicians involved (some end-of career!), the dynamic, effulgent and high level of puissance of this album. We can even say that practically all the songs are interesting, "usable", audible with satisfaction, with a high average level of quality.
17 "top-radio-songs"! It's always with his foot on the throttle. I did not want, but here goes: Where are these refined experts of the "Music GRAMMY", the whistle to the side?, do not mention this magnificent work, published on 16 September 2011? Is in reserve for 2012 session? ...... When to assert itself as an undeniable success. It's late, late and bad times. Then, i hope they'll put the guitar in bag.
Congratulations are also the Jim Henson Studios in Los Angeles, the high quality of the mixtures, editing and production. Impeccable.
And, to disappoint those who expected to see here a "species" extension or prolongation of the music of the Rolling Stones, because of the participation of one of its elements, Mick Jagger. Nothing like that. It's totally different. The structure of the music (Reggae-base, rhythms & orchestration with Latin-Indian elements) can sometimes give the feeling of being "commercial", I understand that, but I do not think, and in a more attentive hearing, concludes that it is a music of excellence, implemented superbly by great musicians.
The choice of singer Joss Stone, could be another singer, more mature, virtuous and charismatic? Could. But she might have a hard time interacting with the group, given the characteristics of the remaining members of this group, and the performance and availability of spirit that it would be expected. Joss thus settles in like a glove "SuperHeavy".
On the other hand, all the elements of the Rolling Stones, Mick is certainly always been the most "Jamaican", and perhaps the only one.
Therefore, such a project would be impossible with the actual formation of "The Rolling Stones".
I dare to speculate that Bob Marley himself, would like this music and even, perhaps, have participated in the "SuperHeavy". Unfortunately it's something we'll never know, for obvious reasons.
And beware, because this album creates addiction. More, is probably one of the best albums of the year 2011 (rock-reggae-fusion). 8+.

Hey, we must to give time to time, and straw to cows.

Is this entire album on the playlist? So far I just don't care for anything I've heard. Might as well play the entire thing so I can feel justified not paying a cent for it.

Ha! The more I hear it, the more I like it.

I'm coming to the conclusion that Mick is the biggest problem with this band. He sounds awful...and trying way to hard to be hip.

I don't want to say this is awful, it's more a cacophony of nonsense.

Train wreck!!!

This was my first listen, and I like it! Tip o' the hat to Cynaera.

I like this song mostly for the Jamaican guy at the end. He makes me want to commit an act of violence. :P

Unbelievable....that we have to keep hearing this!
Unbelievable...that my otherwise steadfast itunes suddenly lost the signal to this tune....twice!
5 => 2

okay at least this one could have come from a Stones album from THIS century...
