AMG It's uneven, but at times It's Only Rock 'n Roll catches fire. The songs and performances are stronger than those on Goats Head Soup; the tossed-off numbers sound effortless, not careless. Throughout, the Stones wear their title as the "World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band" with a defiant smirk, which makes the bitter cynicism of "If You Can't Rock Me" and the title track all the more striking, and the reggae experimentation of "Luxury," the aching beauty of "Time Waits for No One," and the agreeable filler of "Dance Little Sister" and "Short and Curlies" all the more enjoyable. Amazon It's Only Rock 'N' Roll find the Stones picking up the tempo after the slower more subdued Goats Head Soup. The album opens with a challenge in the rollicking "If You Can Rock Me". The band moves into a spirited cover of the Temptations classic "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" which stands up well next to the original. The title cut has the classic line that sums up the band's attitude, "I know it's only rock n roll, but I like it". "Till The Next Goodbye" is one of the prettiest songs the band has ever done and "Time Waits For No One" finds them in a pensive mood. The album kind of sags a little bit after that with throwaways like "Short & Curlies" & "If You Really Want...", but closes strongly with the funk workout "Fingerprint Files". The album keeps a trend that started on Goats Head Soup and one that the band would follow for much of the rest of their career (with a few exceptions), some very strong and good songs mixed in with filler.  01.
