Dirty Work
The Rolling Stones
Mid-eighties production techniques dominate the mix, placing gated drums and synthesizers atop a classic rock foundation. The result acts as a snapshot of a group caught at a difficult crossroads.
The music reflects the genuine frustration present during the creation process. By combining standard pop sensibilities with a harder edge, the group produced a gritty document of a band in transition.
