These are the reviews that piss me off the most.
At least those Stones-bashers that pan them are steady in their distaste for the "old farts of rock & roll only in it for the money"
But this is one of those "cover all bases" reviews that doesn't appreciate yet doesn't trash the band.
That way, the critics can't be slammed for being, well, critical.
Instead, throw a few back-handed compliments and a few snide remarks and let the masses pick and choose the parts that back up their own held beliefs.
Get a fucking spine for God's sake.
