Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Undercover is the seventeenth studio album (nineteenth American album) by The Rolling Stones, released in 1983. It was the Stones attempt to re-invent themselves for a new era. However, the relationship between Mick Jagger and Keith Richards began to deteriorate sharply, both personally and musically, largely due to Jagger's focus on trying to stay hip and current and Richards' focus on sticking with their Blues Rock roots. As The '80s progressed, this would have a detrimental impact to the Stones work, and was surely a catalyst for Bill Wyman's departure in 1993.Upon release, it ended their streak of number 1 albums, reaching number 3 in the UK and number 4 in the US charts. The singles off this album were also minor successes. To this day, this album divides critics and fans. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Undercover (Music) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: At least the lyrics, being more violent and controversial. The music video "Too Much Blood" delves into horror imagery, while the video of "Undercover Of The Night", directed by Julien Temple, had Jagger playing a detective helping a woman follow her boyfriend's (Also played by Jagger.) kidnappers and Richards as the leader of the kidnappers who eventually shoots Jagger. At the time it was considered to be too violent for MTV and only played after 21.00, in an edited version. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Undercover (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: The Stones attempt to stay contemporary. Though not full-on 80's (Unlike Steel Wheels, though even that isn't very 80's), it has elements of synth-pop, new wave, and even hip-hop. | |

Real Life Writes the Plot: "Too Much Blood" references the 1981 cannibalistic murder of a Dutch woman by Issei Sagawa. That same year this crime had also inspired the The Stranglers song "La Folie". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Undercover (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "Undercover Of The Night" was influenced by William S. Burroughs' novel The Red Night Trilogy, according to Jagger. "Too Much Blood" references real life Japanese cannibal Issei Sagawa, who ate a Dutch female tourist, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974) and An Officer and a Gentleman, which is described as "Something you can take the wife to, you know what I mean?" The music video includes a small snippet from Béla Bartók's "String Quartet No.3". When the woman in the video starts watching TV she sees a scary scene from the horror movie Basket Case (1982). | |
