    There is more than enough vitality, wit, richness, energy and joy on offer here to make the case that rock ’n’ roll still rules in the modern pop firmament, and the Stones remain its greatest advocates.

    There’s always the feeling that this album may be the last time. They don’t know. If it is, though, Foreign Tongues is an album that lives up to their legacy.

    While Hackney Diamonds was about return and resurgence, Foreign Tongues offers something more nuanced. Above all, the Stones' 25th studio album carries an unforced pleasure in playing together. [Aug 2026, p.98]

    Despite an ultimately wearing, overbearing Watt production job, Foreign Tongues duly delivers as a pretty good Stones album.
