The Rolling Stones‘ Emotional Rescue sounds more like a polished reworking of past efforts than an attempt at anything new, and while the album evidences an admirable amount of attention to form, there isn’t much here in the way of meaningful lyrical content. Still, the LP is worth buying. After nearly 20 years, the Stones continue to pack a punch, and even when they lapse into formulas, they’re more fun than most of the competition put together.

The best cuts include “She’s So Cold” and “Where the Boys Are,” a pair of frenetic rockers; the title track, a sparklingly produced, falsetto-dominated nod to Bee Gees-styled disco; the laid-back “Indian Girl”; and the lyrically biting (and curious) “All About You.”
