Era & Context

Punk declared the Stones dinosaurs; disco reshaped the charts. The Stones responded by absorbing both — Miss You's disco groove and Shattered's punk energy proved they could reinvent faster than anyone expected.

Career Phase

Punk-Era Reinvention 1978

Punk and disco forced the Stones to strip down and speed up. The result was their leanest, most energetic album in years — proof that the self-proclaimed World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band could absorb any challenge.
