Album Notes & Community Reviews

Attempting to stay relevant in the MTV era, The Rolling Stones heavily embraced 80s dance beats, new wave, and post-punk production techniques on 'Undercover'. The result is an incredibly rhythmic, wildly varied, and playfully vulgar pop-rock record that captures the band leaning into dark, nocturnal hedonism amidst significant internal friction.

Genres

Descriptors: rhythmic, hedonism, party, vulgar
