Bridges to Babylon -  Slipcase Version
It's no use comparing Stones albums toExile on Main St.anymore; the world's greatest rock & roll band clearly substitutes finances for passion these days. But compared to, say, Soul Asylum or the Black Crowes, the band still produces worthwhile records--"Flip the Switch," "Out of Control," and the closing Keith Richards suite all giveBridgesthe edge over the Stones' spotty previousVoodoo Lounge.Despite dross like the plagiarized hit "Anybody Seen My Baby," and the underutilization of the talented Dust Brothers production team, the Stones don't deserve our indifference just yet.--Steve Knopper
