It is also their second [[DistinctDoubleAlbum Double Album]], the first being ''Music/ExileOnMainSt''.

The album was written by a rejuvenated Music/MickJagger and Music/KeithRichards in 2004. That year, Charlie Watts was diagnosed with throat cancer and had to undergo radiotherapy. This was a major cause of the rejuvenation, as well as the improvement of the relationship between Jagger and Richards. Luckily, Watts was able to get rid of his cancer. Meanwhile, [[Music/{{Faces}} Ronnie Wood]] was busy on his solo work and ended up appearing on only 10 out of 16 tracks.

Upon release, it was greeted with generally favourable reviews and hit number 2 and 3 in the UK and US charts respectively. However, there were strong criticism on the length of the album.

The album was written by a rejuvenated Mick Jagger and Music/KeithRichards in 2004. That year, Charlie Watts was diagnosed with throat cancer and had to undergo radiotherapy. This was a major cause of the rejuvenation, as well as the improvement of the relationship between Jagger and Richards. Luckily, Watts was able to get rid of his cancer. Meanwhile, [[Music/{{Faces}} Ronnie Wood]] was busy on his solo work and ended up appearing on only 10 out of 16 tracks.
