▓ [ about this release ] ▓
░ ░
Funny that the much-touted "reunion/comeback" album
Steel Wheels followed Dirty Work by just three years,
while it took the Stones five years to turn out its
sequel, Voodoo Lounge ù a time frame that seems much
more appropriate for a "comeback." To pile on the
irony, Voodoo Lounge feels more like a return to form
than its predecessor, even if it's every bit as
calculated and Bill Wyman has flown the coup. With Don
Was, a neo-classic rock producer that always attempts
to reclaim his artist's original claim to greatness,
helming the boards with the Glimmer Twins, the Stones
strip their sound back to its spare, hard-rocking
basics. The Stones act in kind, turning out a set of
songs that are pretty traditionalist. There are no new
twists or turns in either the rockers or ballads
(apart maybe from the quiet menace of "Thru and Thru,"
later used to great effect on The Sopranos), even if
they revive some of the English folk and acoustic
country-blues that was on Beggars Banquet. Still, this
approach works, because they are turning out songs
that may not be classics, but are first-rate examples
of the value of craft. If this was released 10 years,
even five years earlier, this would be a near-triumph
of classicist rock, but since Voodoo Lounge came out
in the CD age, it's padded out to 15 tracks, five of
which could have been chopped to make the album much
stronger. Instead, it runs on for nearly an hour, an
ironically bloated length for an album whose greatest
strengths are its lean, concentrated classic sound and
songcraft. Still, it makes for a stronger record than
its predecessor.

▓ [ about us ] ▓
▒ iRO is an internal release group, which means we ▒
░ release outside of the regular mp3 scene. We do this ░
purely for the public, so you can hear that hard-to-
░ find album, that release you could never find the ░
scene rip of, and the actual retails of albums at
proper quality standards so you can decide whether
you really want to buy them or not; all without
asking for anything in return.
Also, unlike our predecessors, iRO gives back first
to the people who do all the work, the rippers. With
this thought at heart, all members have an equal say
in all group decisions and are welcome in all group
channels. Equality, quality and democracy, values
all good groups should share.
With the introduction of the year 2004, comes change.
As of 01/01/2004, iRO will now be encoding in the APS
standard (VBR). Our past two years of work, all done
in the CBR standard, will remain in tact.
We are currently looking for fast ftps to serve as
pubs and member sites, as well as xdcc shell
providers. If you can help out by providing one of
these to this noble cause please come visit us in
#iRO on EFNET and leave a message with a member.
