- 9. 22nd British and 24th American studio album Released 5 September 2005 on Virgin Records Recorded September 2004-June 2005 First full-length album since predecessor Bridges to Babylon; this period of eight years was by far the longest of the group’s recording career of over 40 years Was noted for the track “Sweet Neo Con”, even before release, which criticizes then American President George W. Bush and U.S. politics in general, causing minor controversy Critical reaction was overall positive; the album was touted as best Stones album since Tattoo You
