The solo albums released by Stones members, especially Mick and Keith, have received a lot of attention at the time of release, but after a while, they tend to be overlooked. The best example is Keith's second solo album "MAIN OFFENDER". Immediately after its release, this album was not well received by fans, and the result was the exact opposite of the popularity of the first album "TALK IS CHEAP" (especially in Japan). At that time, more attention was paid to the fact that he toured the world on a small scale, unlike the time of the first album, which was toured only in the United States, rather than the contents of the album. In such a situation, a performance in Japan was expected, but it did not happen in the end. It must also seem to have helped to reduce the popularity of "MAIN OFFENDER".
However, the album "MAIN OFFENDER" is definitely not a bad work. Rather than a content issue, it seems that the cause was the bad timing of the release. At the time of "TALK IS CHEAP", Keith, who had been told that "even if you record a solo, you can't put it together as an album" was finally completed, and it was greatly welcomed by the impact of the first album.
In that respect, "MAIN OFFENDER" was the second one, so I couldn't expect a fresh impact. Rather, the weakness of the album may have been the lack of Stones direct killer tunes such as "Take It So Hard" and "Struggle". Also, "TALK IS CHEAP" had a wide variety of songs, while "MAIN OFFENDER" was divided into straight rock and R & B style numbers, which was rather the appeal of the album. But it must not seem that it was never understood. R & B numbers like "Hate It When You Leave" rather than the single-cut "Eileen" seem to have been the key to this album.
