A transitional, groove-heavy record where the band explores funk, reggae, and soulful ballads. Loose, humid, and deeply rhythmic.
April 23, 1976 · Rolling Stones Records
A loose, humid jam-session atmosphere drifts through these eight tracks, trading tight rock structures for open-ended grooves that lean heavily into contemporary black music. The production is thick and bass-heavy, letting a soulful falsetto float over syncopated rhythms as the group auditions guitarists in real-time to fill their vacant slot.

Restless saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
