Customer Reviews of Goddess in the Doorway
Amazing Album - I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE EVEN TRY CRITICISING This album has to be one of the best damn buys, I have to admit. I have heard this album for over a year now so my review is frank and unbiased to the average customer....If you like Mick's kinda Rock N Roll, leave all else aside and buy this album right NOW!!! I do agree some songs like Goddess In The Doorway, Lucky Day, Gun get pretty much monotonous, but you would like to hear them off and on. Visions of Paradise and Joy are melodious rockers, ones you can hum too....but believe me Mick has blended in very well with Rob Thomas on the first track and synchronized terrificly with Bono in the second one. Dancing in the Starlight is one of those essential feel good songs! God Gave Me Everything is by no means a soft rock or mellow song 'cause Jagger and Kravitz just blow you away on that piece. Hideaway is something definitely different and worth hearing. Don't Call Me Up is by far one of the best ballads I've heard....and trust me you'll simply love it. In that category, Too Far Gone and Brand New Set Of Rules are also awesome,awesome pieces. Everybody...is like a club song...gets you going! I can't stress enough how great this album is and Mick has really added extra talent to this album with all the big guests on this masterpiece of an album. If you don't like this album - You haven't heard this album! Hear it a couple of times and believe me it will GROW ON YOU!
A Nice Effort From A Great Songwriter
This album is good stuff and it shows that the greatest frontman in the history of rock and roll is still making current, vital music. With that said, I don't think many Stones fans will buy into it.
Right now I've got "Exile" in the CD player along with albums by The Strokes, Ryan Adams, Tom Waits and the Dead. I'm psyched to add the new Mick to this mix. Too much old Stones can be too much. Believe me, I almost burned out on the boys a couple of years ago.
There are some good tunes on this one- "Too Far Gone," "Don't Call Me Up," "Brand New Set of Rules." They seem to be in the same vein as "Don't Tear Me Up" and "Evening Gown" from "Wandering Spirit" and "Already Over Me" from "Bridges to Babylon."
Let Mick do his thing. It will make for some fun videos, good radio and maybe a SNL appearance. My only advice to him is to get this stuff out of his system on his solo albums, it doesn't belong with the Stones. They need to get back to some raw, energetic, blues based rock and roll.
This is not the best thing since "Some Girls". Side 2 of "Undercover" was the best thing since "Some Girls." Anyway, it's still good stuff. Most critics will bash it, but they will also be first in line for press passes to the next Stones tour. I wish Mick/Stones got as much praise as McCartney/Beatles because they are better on so many levels. Simply put, the Beatles couldn't have written "Sympathy for the Devil" and the Stones wouldn't have written "Penny Lane."
not bad
Goddess in the Doorway is obviously not as good as Wandering Spirit (1993), which is Jagger's best album, but it is not as bad as one might think. It is actually pretty good.
The major problem of this album is that it does not have a focus, it goes in too many directions. There are too many styles, too many different sounds, too many producers.
The presence of too many producers has already been somewhat problematic when the Stones released Voodoo Lounge. But in 1994 the problem was easily solved by the fact that most of the songs in Voodoo Lounge were really good.
This is not always the case with Goddess in the Doorway. There are some good songs (Joy, Don't Call Me Up, Lucky Day), there are some ok songs (God gave me everything, Hide away, Too far gone), and there are some pretty bad songs (Visions of paradise, Dancing in the starlight, Everybody is getting high, Goddess in the Doorway). Symptomatic of the overall quality of the record is Brand New Rules. It's not bad, but it never steps up, it never clicks, it does not make sparks fly.
This said, this record is not terrible and probably deserves more attention than has so far received.
