"... ‘Living In A Ghost Town’, despite being The Stones’ first original song since 2012, is a similarly rushed and half-baked comment on our current predicament. Aiming at The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town’ and ending up like a deep bluesy take on Hard-Fi’s ‘Cash Machine’, it finds Jagger tremulous, forlorn and a little angry that humanity is no longer free to amass at his electrified gates. 'Feel like a ghost / Living in a ghost town,' he complains, strutting along palatial hallways to make his own bloody sandwich, 'I’m going nowhere, shut up all alone / So much time to lose just staring at my phone'. As songs about doing nothing go, he certainly doesn’t seem to have spent his spare time thinking too hard. ..."
