The Los Angeles Times ranks the Rolling Stones' studio albums across six decades from worst to best, highlighting Exile on Main St. as a sublime peak while noting the band's enduring vitality as they prep a new album, Foreign Tongues, in 2026.
Marc Burrows’ review finds Foreign Tongues largely proves The Rolling Stones still have their grit and groove, with Watt’s production giving the songs a punchy, expansive feel and high-profile guests like Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, and even a posthumous Charlie Watts moment adding weight. The album spans multiple decades of rock and yields three standout tracks that hold up alongside the band’s classics, but it’s hampered by overlong runtimes and moments where the production flattens dynamics and the choruses sound overly glossy. If anything, it confirms the Stones aren’t chasing relevance so much as continuing to make music for the fun of it, closing with a vintage Chuck Berry cover that seals the full-circle moment. A flawed but engaging late-career statement that’s worth a listen.

Keith Richards is not shown in the footage. The LP’s singles have already included “Jealous Lover” and “Divine Intervention” (featuring Robert Smith), and Richards has floated the idea of a residency rather than a full tour.

Keith Richards, now 82 and a new great-grandfather, talks aging, sobriety, and the Rolling Stones’ ongoing momentum with the release of Foreign Tongues, his dynamic partnership with Mick Jagger, dislike of modern tech, reverence for Chuck Berry, and his view of an ever-evolving band despite aging.
