The Rolling StonesDirty Work

Abrasive, jittery, sharp-elbowed rock from a band at war with itself. 'One Hit (To the Body)' lands like a clenched fist over Jimmy Page's guest lead; 'Harlem Shuffle' struts through a Bob & Earl soul cover with horns blazing; 'Winning Ugly' snarls its title like a threat. The Jagger-Richards cold war you can hear in the grooves. Underrated, mean, and weirdly cathartic. Crank it when you need something with teeth.
