Reviewing ‘Hackney Diamonds’ in October – their first studio album of new material since 2005’s ‘A Bigger Bang’ – NME described the record as an “absolute barnstormer”.
The four-star write-up added: “But if ‘Hackney Diamonds’ does round off the most successful career in rock music ever, it wouldn’t be a bad place to leave it. A natural end, but definitely not a normal one.”
Ronnie Woods recently spoke to NME about the “explosive” new songs and how they would translate live. “I have complete faith. We could play the whole album, you know what I mean? But [Mick and Keith] will go, ‘Oh no Ron, that’s so ambitious’. We’re not gonna forget the back catalogue,” he shared.
