Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded during a period of intense interpersonal conflict between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, 'Dirty Work' leans heavily into aggressive, synthesized 80s pop-rock production. The album features a harsh, booming drum sound and prominent guest appearances, reflecting a deeply fractured but highly energetic studio environment. It stands as a chaotic, rhythmically driving, and polarizing entry in their legendary catalog.
