 Despite My Emotional Attachment - Only 3.5 Stars October 9, 2008
M. Hughes
I am the Stones Authority. This is a nostalgic favorite simply because of the time of its release and what was going on at that time in my life. But it is not a heavy weight album. It is whimsical. It is fun, but there is not a lot to it and not a lot to remember about it. It is easy to listen to and inoffensive, but this isn't one of the albums you reach for when you are introducing someone to the band. I do have to say, however, that the sax and vocal solo/interlude in the song Emotional Rescue is a wonderful Stones moment and manages to redeem a rather silly song. I do still listen to it though, and it reminds me of a fun and uncomplicated time. A whimsical summer before real life began.
 She's the 3oss October 7, 2008
Happy 3itch (Solla Sollew)
Tell me what a man finds sexually attractive and I will tell you his entire philosophy of life; guess who said that. I'm trying, trying to be her really useful engine. Hard to please? Unobtainable? I wouldn't have it any other way! 3itch! That intoxicating disinterestedness ~ such precision, the haughtiness ~ yet her theatrical paraphernalia ~ so amped up ~ I can't think when she's wearing pink. Long hair, high-energy, blue eyes, thin, imperious ~ that's not the mirror this time. Last night I was dreaming how she'd be mine, but I was crying. It's been 20 years since I got so revved up. Useful engine calling, I'd deny you nothing.
My first Stones album August 24, 2008
Afridi (USA)
After all these years I played this and it was as much fun as it was the first time I had heard it.
I love the rough lazy casual feel about the songs. I imagined them playing, without much effort, cigarette smoke, booze lying around and just the songs pouring out. Indian girl was my least favourite. Where The Boys Go and She's So Cold as the best tracks. I liked the way they took Disco and made it theirs.
Years later I read reviews really giving this album bad ratings......dont know why......
Anyway, it's playing right now, and Where the Boys Go is about to begin....LOL this is going to be fun...again!
 Well...it came to MY "emotional rescue" June 20, 2008

People - and mea culpa, I'm certainly one - tend to vilify this album because it incorporates all the elements that came pretty damn close to rendering the Stones null and void during the eighties. VERY lame "funk": "Dance Pt. 1," lame reggae, the title song, dreary blues, "Down In The Hole," and sad attempts at "new wave" or "punk," whatever you want to call that crap, "She's So Cold" and "Let Me Go." Um...well, THAT said, after getting over the initial horror of hearing "Miss You, part 2" regurgitated - TWICE - I kind of began to...DIG the album. In truth, it was released in the summer of 1980, just as I was weathering an acrimonious divorce, and embarrassing as this admission is, the album did indeed slowly become "an emotional rescue." And when you stop to consider that, post Mick Taylor, the Stones were only good for about 2, maybe 3, songs per album, "Let Me Go," "She's So Cold," "Emotional Rescue," and especially "Send It To Me" are - again, excuse the pun - a GAS GAS GAS! (and I shan't implicate myself nor bore the reader by explaining how "Emotional Rescue" changed my life forever, October, 1980...)
Mixed Bag June 8, 2008

It is quite clear that by the 80s, the Stones had lost some of what had made them great. With 1980s Emotional Rescue, the Stones should that they could rock, just not as well as on Some Girls. Some of the better tracks would be the title track, which is a fairly decent dance number. Not too far behinnd this number is 'She's So Cold' which is a typical Stones rocker. 'Let Me Go' and 'Where the Boys Go' seem a bit tossed off and are on the light side but can still be enjoyable. Also on the dance siide is 'Dance Pt. 1' which is a bit overdone but is still enjoyable. 'Down in the Hole' os a fine bluesy nimber as well.
On tje downside would be the country-tinged 'Indian Girl' and 'Summer Romance.' 'Send it to Me' isn't terrible but it still seems a bit tossed off and isn't as interesting as some of the other numbers. Overall, the record is enjoyable but just isn't that good, which is not what Stones fans would obviously like to hear.
