VOODOO LOUNGE
Voodoo Lounge is the 20th British and 22nd American studio album by British rock band The Rolling Stones, released in July 1994. As their first new release under their new alliance with Virgin Records, it ended a five-year gap since their last studio album, Steel Wheels in 1989. Voodoo Lounge is also the band's first album without long-time bassist Bill Wyman. He left the band in early 1991, though the Stones did not formally announce the departure until 1993. In 2009, the album was remastered and reissued by Universal Music. This album was released as a double album on vinyl and a single CD and cassette. -wikipedia
Critic Reviews
Show All-
Rolling Stone
Together, they keep the grooves short and mean, making for an album that’s tight without being overprocessed, neat without being nice.
-
All Music
an album whose greatest strengths are its lean, concentrated classic sound and songcraft
-
Medium
the first album I ever hated
-
LA Times
Getting back to basics, the Stones again sound relaxed and enthused
-
Countdown Kid
Cut this thing down to ten songs, especially if you choose from the rock-solid first half, and you’ve got something that really hums.

Blog Critics
not a great album but is a consistently good one
-
John McFerrin Music Reviews
strong riffs, ultra-fresh sounding guitar sounds, strong powerhouse drumming from Charlie (welcome back!) and even a bit of maturity here and there
-
Only Solitaire
it's the fact that thirty years after their debut album, they're still able to come up with top-notch material
-
Wilson & Alroy's Record Reviews
this willfully unexperimental record is so stuffed with slick riffs and sure-fire 70s formulas that any fan will fall for it lock, stock and barrel
-
The Guardian
More stripped down and straightforward than its predecessor, Steel Wheels, this isn’t a bad album, exactly, but it sounds as if hard work was involved, the product of craft rather inspiration: tough coming from a band that, at their best, made it all seem effortless. Also, it feels as if it goes on for about six weeks.

Adrian's Music Reviews
certainly a worthy addition to The Stones catalogue
-
Don Ignacio
This album not only contains some terribly powerful rock 'n' roll with their classic signature scrawled all over them, but even some of the ballads are dang convincing as well.
-
Mark's Album Reviews
a graceful acceptance of age, and an awfully honest and honestly not awful way of dealing with it

Keno's ROLLING STONES Web Site
just shows what getting back to basics can do for ya
