Let It Bleed

Kyllähän tää tuossa taustalla meni ihan kivasti, mutta ei kyllä herättänyt oikein minkäälaisia tuntemuksia xd Hitto, oispa puolikkaat tähet :D

Avausraita ei vielä oikein säväyttänyt (tokalla kuuntelulla rokkas paljon kovemmin!), mut Love In Vain kaappas mukaansa ja olihan tää lopulta aivan kova lätty! 🤩 Hauskan voimakkaasti oli paneroitu (mitä se on oikeesti suomeksi? xD) soittimia monessa biisissä. Rehtiä rokkia 🤝 Upea toi vikan biisin kuorointro! 😍

Tbh aika mid, en tykännyt hirveesti noista western-viboista. 3 tähteä tai jopa 2,5, ei houkuttanut kuuntelemaan uudestaan 🥲

It’s ok

Another album which starts out with a banger largely outshadowing the rest of the material. Gimme Shelter is something I have known for a long time, and I had to listen it on repeat when I started listening this. The Stones do combine elements of a few genres, but the first half of the record proves underwhelming, especially given the superiority of Gimme Shelter. Then you have some nice sogs. I believe the record is likely to have influenced various bands later on. Still, here on Let It Bleed much of the stuff feels just not as capturing as some rock music you are used to. It is overall nice, but lacks something for higher rates, and I am not going to give it favors due to its age. A decent rock release, but I believe the band is likely to have better ones. My picks: Live With Me, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man (cool piano use). Gimmer Shelter is perhaps better than the rest of the album combined... but still, we have to try to rate the album as a whole.

Glad I listened but I think Rolling stones has become one of those bands where the greatest hits and a few personal ones is the extent of the listen. Album that is good by vibes.

No debe ser el mejor disco de los stones. Me gustan sólo la primera y la última. Pero contento de que salieron.

Not bad, two huge hits in Gimme Shelter and You Vant Always Get What You Want. These two are great songs. The rest are mostly just ok. 3.5.

Never thought I'd like the Stones, but this is actually a good album. I appreciate the bluesy feel, although it is a bit too bluesy for my taste. They could have benefitted from a better singer, but all in all it's quite enjoyable.

I have no connection with The Rolling Stones other than them being overused in movies and trailers. This album didn’t change any of the totally neutral feeling I have towards them.

no es su mejor disco. tiene temas meh y temas buenos. creo que es bastante mid (por ahi es que estoy teniendo un dia de re mierda)

It’s alright.

Monkey man and you can’t always get what you want , ja takk

It’s alright

This is one of the four-album period of the Stones that I enjoy. Enjoy the acoustic and more country-tinged to the bluesier numbers, but I’d rate this right down the middle for my enjoyment. I’m super taken with how great the recording sounds on the Remastered version I listened to. I like it and appreciate it but probably won’t listen to it much. Sticky Fingers and Exile are my preference.

Not my cuppa tea at first. Knew and liked the hits from childhood. Didn't finish and switched to Paul Simon's Hearts and Bones. Came back, enjoyed title track, Midnight Rambler, and of course You Can't Always Get What You Want.

Starts with an all-time legend song in “Gimme Shelter”, then - with that out of the way - rolls into a muddy, rambling county-blues that sounds like a lot of drugs. Which isn’t bad! The Stones are doing very much their own thing here. “Country Honk” would evolve into the much tighter “Honky-Tonk Women”. The title track is a little gem. Still, “Midnight Rambler” and “You Can’t Always…” are never my favorites. The children’s chorus on “You…” really grates on me. Really hit-or-miss here, but the Stones receive a little more grace for trying some things. They don’t give a fuck what I think anyway.

la primera y la última son de 10, simplemente como empieza ya ha merecido todo la pena, muy country para mi gusto y me ha costado un poco peero nada nada mal, son icónicos

Listening session: may 11th, while shopping Listened to before: heard one song before Thoughts: som parts of this album are iconic, but other than that this is not something I would listen to again. Not the best Rolling Stones album Favourite tracks: Gimme Shelter & You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Gimme Shelter - 3/5 Love In Vain - 3/5 Country Honk - 3.5/5 Live With Me - 3.5/5 Let It Bleed - 4/5 Midnight Rambler - 3/5 You Got The Silver - 3/5 Monkey Man - 3.5/5 You Can't Always Get What You Want - 3/5

Never got into this. You Can't Always Get What You Want is a great song, but other than that, nothing was that good. Still solid album overall, because The Rolling Stones are a good band. Can't ever be too bad.

they said you can't always get what you want, but i did

2 hit songs to start and end the album, but a bunch of mediocrity sandwiched in between

Couple good songs but nothing amazing

The album peaks at 'Gimme Shelter', then it has a bunch of nonsense before it gets to another decent song 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'

Two of their best songs with a bunch of filler sandwiched in between. Was not familiar with Country Honk so that was kind of interesting to hear. Idk why, but the Stones appeal to me less as I get older. Not a bad album, just not one I'd lean on when I'm in the mood for them.

a few great tracks. I love the stones but don't love their albums as a whole

A decent Album for them.

Maybe basic but this is prob the Stones album I’ve liked the most so far. Still not really a fan, gotta say

opening - best song ever middle - worst songs of all time closing - okay-est song ever

Gimme Shelter and You Cant Always Get What You Want are the stars here and they do a good amount of heavy lifting. The rest is pretty bog-standard blues inspired Stones stuff, Let It Bleed making me laugh about a guy talking about doing coke and getting stabbed in a filthy basement with a jaunty melody is pretty good.

Well we all need, someone we can cream on Another mixed bag from the Stones. Gimme Shelter, Let it Bleed are terrific and the album closer You Can’t Always Get What You Want was a transcendent experience listened to on a sunny day mountain drive with the windows down, but the rest of the album is so weird and forgettable. Just poorly executed country songs and weird Americana and also the awful blues. Hopefully this is the last of the Stones because I can honestly say this list has completely tarnished their reputation for me

reicht mit den ganzen country schiene albums. erster und die letzter song sind stark zwischendrin nicht meins, wobei ich den dritt und zweitletzten okay fand.

Not really my cup of tea, it was fine

A couple certified bangers but not my favorite as an album

Good album, "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" are amazing.

This album is a bit of a mess, half country influenced songs, a blues jam, and a couple of rockers bookended by two absolute classics. This highs are extremely high but lacks cohesion. 3.5🎂

Good album and few songs I liked.

Another overrated 60's -70's band. While its not a bad album, it is just gimme shelter + bunch of fillers. And even that song is massively overrated lmao.

Amazing opening track. Incredible closing track. A bunch of "eh?" in the middle. Didn't hate it, but didn't wow me to the core either. Have never liked Jagger's exaggerated vocals on slower songs such as "Love In Vain" which was notably tough to get through. Dead middle of the pack.

The first one is sooo great !! Gimme shelter!! Don't really like the other, country vibe

70

Couple of good songs

Decent album

Big hair, tight pants. There’s a few pretty good tracks on here but it ultimately feels like young white guys being cool- lacks the deep soul and heartache of TRUE rock and roll. That being said it smells like a turning point of a musical evolution- on the cusp of a new wave.

first time listening to this one straight through. I was familiar with "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" -- beyond that there wasn't much else on here that I thought was all that great. "Midnight Rambler" is fun and has its moments of trickery that grabbed my attention. mostly it sounded like The Rolling Stones doing their own take of genres and approaches to songcraft that other people were doing/had done better already. is that what all the "classic" Stones albums are like? guess I'm gonna find out.

Great bookends on this album, obviously. But again, the middle disappoints. Not bad, just kinda there. There were a couple minutes of Midnight Rambler when the groove sets in that I sat up for. I like the general vibe of You Got the Silver, and Monkey Man is real good.

Gimme shelter and Monkey man are incredible but the deep cuts on this are so disappointing. Also as a side note adding a children’s choir to a rock song will always make it infinitely worse, I’m looking at you You can’t always get what you want. See also: War is over and Schools out.

Great Stones album, great beginning and end songs for the album. Vintage rock and roll, my favorite song off this album is always gonna be Gimme Shelter.

nice

I like the train song, I thought it was pretty cool. I don't really know how I feel about this album, but I do like the sound of it. Overall, this album is just a vibe to listen to, but I'm not sure if I would listen to it again.

It is yet another embarrassing thing to admit but I have never heard a Rolling Stones album in full until this very point. I have heard many of their songs before and would consider myself a fan of some extent but once again I didn't know what to expect when going through 40+ minutes of their music. Thankfully I feel Let It Bleed was probably the best place I could have started when it came to their music. Let It Bleed is a feel good album. It may not be this big loud Rock album a lot of people would expect from the stones, but it is a more calm and laid back Blues Rock album that shows some of the finer details of the band's chemistry as well as their writing skills in a much brighter way than usual. Overall, it’s a really solid album, the only thing holding it back is my spite for dad.

nice bass on 'live with me'

Classic

Great record. Preferred the last stones one I heard, but again, awesome experimentation here

I love some of The Rolling Stones songs. Like really love. I liked some of these songs in this album however, its not my thing. Classic and Iconic for sure but I'm not really the person who listens to this type of rock.

1st song pretty good, i like the girl vocals. 2nd song is ok, abit slow tho live w me - cool sax let it bleed - not rly a fan of how they kinda speak the lyrics instead of sing them midnight rambler - interesting. i do like harmonicas. oo it sped up now n stopped swingin, cool u cant always get what u want - i recognise this melody?? i think they sang this on glee didnt notice the album was over.. anyway pretty ok, wouldnt b mad if sum1 played it but wouldnt choose it myself

mick jagger voice is way too ingrained in my brain via my dad playing stones all the time when i was growing up. these songs are fine but every bluesy jammy type track has been done better IMO!! the closer is nice tho

when mick jagger said "we all need someone we can cream on" i really felt that

Alright rock album not much to say

I love the combination of different sounds. And I’ve never listened to the Rolling Stones before so it was cool

Not bad songs per say but a bit too long and I’m not a big country/acoustic guy

Never been a fan of mick but the tunes are tolerable

It's OK

la verdad que hubieron canciones que no me terminaron de convencer por la vibra media vieja con esos ritmos medios countries que en lo personal no me gusta, pero a su vez tiene temas muy modernos que están completamente geniales, para mi este album es medio una ambiguedad, por eso 3 estrellas

I know this album’s a classic but the only song I cared about was “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” 🫣😅

Enjoyable to listen to.

No es un género que suela escuchar a menudo, pero me gustó para acompañar mis mañanas en la oficina

Good but old

third rolling stones album pulled... i like gimme shelter but i don't think the rest of the album lives up to it, still a fine listen though.

When the tracks are good, they’re great. There is a decent amount of filler. Appreciate the song from Goodfellas being on there.

mb not for me not bad music

6/10 Bajo nivel, nunca me termino de convencer, las canciones son tranquilas pero les falta sazon, no tiene ninguna que destaque, son un meh, lo apruebo porque es de los Rolling nomas

This album is like a sandwich. A sandwich scraped together with all sorts of leftovers put between two of the most delicious slices of homemade bread you've had. Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are the mega Stones classics that they've always been. And the rest... well, it's okay. It's kind of goofy, aloof British mix of rock and blues that tends to lean more bluesy here than I'd expect. Mick Jagger's vocals still drag the album down for me, but it's almost entirely made up for by the choir in the ultimate track of the record. 3.5 Highlight: You Can't Always Get What You Want Lowlight: Monkey Man Highlight: #2 Gimme Shelter

Pretty solid album, I did like it a lot, but it was slightly a let down. If you really, really get tracks on here, but quite a bit in the middle was not necessarily my favorites, but I have. Three stars.

My first The Rolling Stones album. The first song on the album is very good, full of energy, and it captures the sound the band carries throughout the entire record. This song reminds me of Apocalypto or Despair. The last track is an amazing closer. I do think the slower tracks are kind of weak or bland, they don’t do much for me. On some tracks, I find Mick Jagger’s performance very fitting and full of the energy the song needs, but on others, his vocals are a bit annoying and it just feels like he’s screaming in my ear to get my attention. Overall, I find this album enjoyable, but I don’t see myself coming back to it other than in a couple of tracks. My favorite tracks are: Gimme Shelter, Live With Me, monkey Man, You Can’t Always Get What You Want.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ me gustó, es un clásico y una banda memorable, siempre es buena escuchar sus canciones y este álbum me transmita un ritmo más aclamado y contri.

I can’t believe how forgettable most of these songs are and how much they feel like “hippy garbage.” If you had asked me 3 days ago who the Rolling Stones were, these two words would have been the last thing on my mind. How is it possible for albums to be so boring?

I remember this being better. It’s not.

No me gusto mucho, si bien es un buen album con mucha historia, pasa muy lento a mi parecer. Gimme shelter me gusto mucho, pero no mucho mas. 5/10

Opener and closer are deserved classics, but not a whole lot going on in between

Two amazing numbers, but the rest of the album can't live up to that standard

I like the stones more than I thought! The bluesy stuff was my favorite off this

Couple of good songs

Not a huge fan.

A couple of great songs, but the rest is country and meh.

They wrote two all-time classic songs, stuck them on either end of the album, and put any old shit in between

‘‘Twas alright

As always with The Rolling Stones, the big hits are really good and everything else on the album is wildly inconsistent. Makes the fact that they have so many albums on this list feel a bit egregious

Good.

Couple of great tracks but, dare I say it, quite a bit of forgettable dress.

Pretty standard but solid Stones album. A few good standout songs, few that sound like they started jamming on something and thought they'd just go with it....

Pretty good, a few good songs on it.

Some bangers on here for sure, solidly good

This project has more or less confirmed that I'm happy with the Stones' hits. I've yet to enjoy a full-length from start to finish, and it's not for lack of trying (even before this project). In this case, the best moments bookend Let It Bleed: the relatively svelte "Gimme Shelter" and the overlong-but-iconic "You Can't Always Get What You Want." The songs between those often feel meandering—or rambling, if you will—and I prefer the alt "Honkey Tonk Women" to "Country Tonk." It's useful to hear everything in its context, but I don't expect to return to this.

Gimme Shelter bangs but I didn’t care much about the rest

Some great songs and some not that exciting, overall a good album

5/10

Didn't realize how much The Rolling Stones sounded like southern rock with influences of gospel and blues. Really liked "You Got the Silver"

This is a fine enough album. Does this really need to be here when Exile on Main Street and Beggars' Banquet are already here? Not really. I'm inclined to give this 2 stars, but it's not really bad enough for that.

Fav- you can’t always get what you want 3/5

Tooling bones

Great bookend songs. The rest was interesting blues

I’m starting to think the Rolling Stones are just an object of their time because I really just cannot get into any of their albums. I like the top hits or best of albums, but outside of the hits they’re just so mehhhhh. The opener and the closer saved this from complete catastrophe.

I understand the hype.

The longest tracks ever and they all sound the same. Pretty good

Had a few songs I liked.

Gimme Shelter is an underrated opener - what a mood. But, that mood doesn’t carry through the album whatsoever - lots of down home, jangly, bluesy tracks. Then, You Can’t Always Get What You Want… Immediate disqualification because of its involvement with the Big Chill.

𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘐𝘵 𝘉𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘥 is a slightly uneven listen for me. At its best, the album reaches extraordinary heights: 𝗚𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗿, the title track, and 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻’𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗪𝗮𝗻𝘁 are all outstanding songs and among the most memorable moments in the Stones’ catalogue. Outside those highlights, however, much of the record settles into fairly straightforward blues rock. It’s played with confidence and swagger, but it rarely feels as striking as the album’s strongest material. The peaks are undeniable, yet the rest can feel more workmanlike than inspired.

Just because this is the stones does not make country any less bad!

gimme shelter is kind of on point right now but i do not think there's a chance all of this would get fixed with a kiss midnight rambler reminded me of gloria by patti smith but, well, male. idek why to be exact love in vain is pretty fucking bad not going to lie i yawned 2 times already. it's like 2 teens got tasked to create a sad love song and they.. did.. with a bit of a satire though live with me is.. tasteless reading let it bleed lyrics with my eyes wide OPEN. upd: just realized it's also the name of the album what the eheck monkey man first one i actually enjoy. will make sure to jump around listening to this song sometime . and it's followed by the best song of the album as well - closing you can 't always get what you want is something that is just there and forever will continue on being.. there. i feel like there should be a confetti box exploding after listening to this album

Album #1 - 6 Mar 2026 Gimme Shelter and You Can’t Always Get What You Want are obvious highlights. Some samey blues driven tracks felt a bit like filler in the middle, but easy enough to listen to.

lots of skips

喜欢第一首的吉他和女高音。主唱声音有时还可以。

mellow stones

Enjoyable album.

Almost a little too twangy sounding for me, but some good music overall. I've mainly only listened to the hits from the Stones so it was good to hear a full album and some deeper cuts.

Cumple

You can’t always get what you want is basically the only reason to show up

I‘m honestly not a big stones fan and this album was rather mid. Some songs are quite a banger others are just meh.

The Rolling Stones are, without a doubt, the most overrated band in history. The music is boring and Mick Jagger is a clown. In anticipation of the many many Stones albums to come, I really did try to sit with this one to see if I could see it another way. But no. Considering this is one of their better efforts (right?), I don't expect forthcoming albums to get as much attention.

This was fine: a couple good songs peppered in among many sleep-inducing tracks of Mick Jagger trying to sound like a founding member of the Soggy Bottom Boys. Not my jam, really, but at least it's not lush, orchestral pop!

Pues esta bueno. Nada memorable a excepción de algunas canciones claramente. Pero se siente como un disco parchado y sin un concepto definido. Igual y fue el acomodo de las canciones, no lo se. Nada malo con las canciones o su musicalidad, todas las canciones están muy bien de hecho. Pero como un todo tengo mis dudas. En fin, destaco mucho la canción de Gimme Shelter, graaan pista introductoria. Y la de Monkey Man, la disfrute mucho.

While not bad, the album really didn't stick with me. There isn't much I can say about this. Good in the moment but nothing long time. The lead single is pretty funny though. Best songs are Let It Bleed and Live With Me. 5/10, if you want someone to like the Stones, try something else.

The first album by the Stones I've listened. I think it was a very nice experience and I could pretty much enjoy every song on it. Love the guitar work throughout

Although it's not my personal taste, I appreciate the album for it's cutural significance and context

This was overall fine, not up my alley too much. Familiar with 'Gimme Shelter', I think "Let It Bleed" and definitely "You Can't Always Get What You Want" which I like. Perhaps don't love their blues-y style too much,

White British folks trying their best to replicate American blues. Not for me

Paar goeie nummers, geheel wat minder.

Decent

My first Stones album. Not bad, just ok. Pleasant to listen to, but I’ve never been a huge Rolling Stones fan, and this more or less met my expectations.

I just...I just don't know. I feel like there must be something with The Stones that I'm missing. I can't stand Mick Jagger's singing. I feel like Keith Richard's playing is...boring? And something about their version of rock-meets-honky-tonk is so uninteresting to me. But, "Gimme Shelter" is fantastic. Looks like I've found a hill to die on. Fave tracks: - Gimme Shelter - Live With Me - Let It Bleed - Midnight Rambler - Monkey Man - You Can't Always Get What You Want

Gimme shelter / Can’t always get what you need Open and End the album, monkey man is in there but felt the meat of the sandwich lacked spice

Stand out singles. Overall forgetable blusey background.

I am surprised I have not listened to Rolling Stones yet. I did like the first and last song a few things in between. 5.2/10 for today.

Yeah overall it’s a pretty decent album. During this time era, they were doing some Psychedelic music, and than they completely switched up with this album, but any ways this album has a lot of different styles of music that they Incorporated.

OK

Nice, but they get so much better later on.

classic

Alright, Gimme Shelter is of course a banger, and I liked Midnight Rambler and You Cant Always Get What You Want. Other than those idk nothing really stood out to me, of course everythings very well done but idk, just didnt click with me.

a 2.5, to be clear

idk

Opener i closer odlicni, ostalo ok. 6/10 Najbolja pisma: Gimme Shelter

I think this is the fifth Stones.album.I have had? Out of less than 300 generated. They can't have too many albums left for me, but I digress. Gimme Shelter And You Can't always get what you want are here. Love in Vain is not exactly what I would have expected from a Stones album. Country Honk being a countri-fied sort of cover of Honky Tonk Women is just odd to me. Although it appears.to have been released earlier on research. They're still a bunch of old weirdos, but also still decent sounding.

Besides “you can’t always get you want” the whole album is a bit too honky

Gimme Shelter is a banger. The rest of the album bops along without any tracks standing out. 3/5

The Stones were nearing their peak on Let it Bleed, which opens with their best song. "Gimme Shelter" has it all: groovy guitar licks, harmonica, and fantastic vocals from Merry Clayton. The tracks after it feel like whiplash though; the energy is immediately lowered for a couple blues and country tunes. And those songs are the norm for this album, which hews very closely to the blues side of blues rock. "Live With Me" is a rocker with dirty horns that hints at the direction they'd go in for Sticky Fingers, but it kind of just sounds like a trial run of "Bitch." "Midnight Rambler" has some interesting stuff going on, but it goes on for much too long. The closer is great, but by that point there have been too many lesser tracks. Everything sounds good here musically, but the blues sound just isn't convincing or gripping enough for this to match their best albums.

Aaaargh, I mis-clicked yesterday's album and gave a 4 to The Carpenters!!! Should have been a 2! I'll try not to mis-click today - but is it going to be much different? Sure, I like this album better than The Carpenters' one. For one, The Stones write their own songs. This is my 426th album and the first one by The Rolling Stones. I must confess I've never listened to a full album. I know their hits of course, like many of them but it never goes further than "like". I have never felt the urge to play a Stones song. It's a bit too predictable R&R for me, even though well made. Never really liked Jagger's squeaky voice though. So, this album. It's a bit like going to IKEA. The first 5' are really exciting and all seems great. Then it's an hour of boredom and not finding what you need. Then as you exit, they sell you a hot dog for 50p and you leave with the impression that it's wasn't so bad after all. Some songs on this album I find really poor, actually most of them except for the opener and closer. I'll give it a 3 because it's better than The Carpenters.

Favs: Love In Vain, Midnight Rambler, You Got The Silver. I love the cover art.

Ожидал меньшего чем оказалось на самом деле, ведь подобная музыка это не моё. В целом, альбом просто хороший, Gimme Shelter обрадовал даже.

It’s an ok album with one of the best Rolling Stones songs on it. Other than that, it’s very boring. There are two other good songs on here but that’s about it.

Buiten de 2 hits niet heel wauw

2 of the greatest songs of all time with instantly recognizable riffs. Keith showing up as the guitar god he is. Lots of new directions being tried here. I was really woved by how great Monkey Man was. Despite all this greatness - not a five or even 4 star for me - the in-between songs drag & are not for me & Midnight Rambler is hella a scary!. I would give it a 3.5 but since there is no half ranking giving it a 3.

A very strong three! A great record to have in the arsenal. The singles definitely out shadow the rest of the album.

Some classic songs, but some duds as well

(ranked in order of rating). 1. You Can't Always Get What You Want: What the hell did they put in this song? Stunning. 10+/10 2. You Got The Silver: Love me a love song. 10/10 3. Love In Vain: Big fan of the slower style, love a yearning song, but didn't like the fact that the intro only came through one side of my headphones. 9/10 4. Midnight Rambler: I really liked this one, creates a good vibe and the harmonica really elevates it. 8/10 5. Country Honk: A classic, even I've heard this one - very Harper coded, very vibes, love the background noises. 7/10 6. Monkey Man: This feels like a song rhat should be the backing track in a morning montage in a movie (/pos). 6/10 7. Live With Me: Maybe I take back what I say about shouty lyrics, this one is much more boppy compared to Gimme Shelter, love the saxophone interlude. 5/10 8. Gimme Shelter: Backing track was fun, not so much of a fan of the shouty, scratchy lyric side though. 4/10 9. Let It Bleed: What's with the intro coming in from one side again? Continued for a while this time and unfortunately was all I could concentrate on. Lyrics wise, I fear I am not the target audience. 2/10

This was a pretty good album. There are a few classics, and a nice bluesy sound throughout.

Prima album, niet veel over te zeggen

Klinkt niet echt als hoe ik zou denken dat the Rolling Stones klinken, maar toch ook een beetje wel. Best prima

Led me to the "relationships and fatherhood" section of Brian Jones' wikipedia which was something. Pretty good, remember it being big for me when first discovered. Some great "evil rock" energy here, true to the era. Moreso now it makes me want to dig into some of their influences more, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, Jimmy Reed, Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmie Rogers. I remember bouncing off some of those younger but I think they might have more staying power with me now.

3.0

I liked: Gimme Shelter, Let it Bleed, Monkey Man, You Cant Always Get What You Want. The rest can go in the bin.

So the whole time it was a hit or miss until the last song that I recognized. I went in without looking at the songs in the album, but even with knowing the last song the album itself was kinda....well, just okay.

My third Stones album here. Not quite as exhilarating as Sticky Fingers or Exile (both of which followed this), but still solid. There are no surprises here, but I’m not sure I’m a fan of the bluesier approach on this album. You Can’t Always Get What You Want is kinda monumental though. Even still, a solid 3.

The album starts with a pretty strong song, and then devolves into less interesting music. It's fine and listenable, but not amazing.

Great

Before Listening : It’s time for some old school rock. I of course have heard of The Rolling Stones, but Ive never sat down and listened to one of their albums. Let’s see if I like them. After Listening : That was pretty alright! Some songs definitely better than others. “Live With Me” might be my favorite. Yea I don’t really have much to add. Way better than the last album thats for sure.

Another classic

Let me get one thing out of the way: I never cared much for The Rolling Stones. I like individual songs but theyre really not an album band to me. This is also kinda the case for this. I love Gimme Shelter and YCAGWYW, but everything in between is mostly just ok. Some decent blues, some decent rock, neither side is super standout.

perfect album. the funky country stones are the best stones.

I don't like The Rolling Stones, but this is pretty good for a Rolling Stones album.

Nice to listen to, but more filler songs than bangers imo.

It's a 3.5

More stones. Great start, great finish... At least hits wise. The rest was interesting. Some cool grooves, some lovely guitar licks. Mick's voice is weird, it sounded like he was doing impressions of other singers at points. Hearing country tonk made me just want to listen to honky tonk women. I could imagine on repeat listens I'd appreciate the musicianship more, as it is I'm not sure it held my attention quite enough.

A couple of hits and a couple of songs I do not care about. It's alright, but that's about it.

Oddly enough, I own a physical copy of this album. Never been a big Stones guy, but I got this one as a free hand me down from my mother-in-law. It’s an enjoyable listen that always makes me want a slice of cake. 3.5⭐️

First and last track are still bangers, but nothing really grabbed me in between.

You already know im not the biggest fan of rock n roll

Also eine Mundharmonika Stücke fand ich irgendwie nicht gut Während der aber nicht gemischter Monkey. Man and you always. Get What You Want gewesen, hätte ich sogar nur zwei Sterne vergeben. Aber das sind schon echt gute Musikstücke

Є золоті хіти, але мені цей кантрі інф'юз у Ролінгів ніколи особливо не подобався.

I listened to half of the album

In 2005, I saw a Stones cover band in college and they said that, “back in the day, you were either a Beatles fan or a Stones fan.” As someone who has always prided themselves on a lover of music in general, I called this crazy. However, try as I might, I have never been able to find myself as enthusiastic about Mick, Keith, and the Boyz as I wish I did the Fab 4. When I woke up this morning to find Let It Bleed as my assignment for the day, I was excited to challenge my bias. The record starts off like a rocket with Gimme Shelter, an objectively phenomenal track full of passion and purpose. Unfortunately, after that, it kinds of slogs through song after song that I can only describe as …fine… With lyrics ranging from the overly lascivious to forgettable and dull. The album ends on another classic You Can’t Always Get What You Want which cannot be denied for its impressive arrangement. While it’s technically impressive and nice to listen to, I can’t help but think that this record benefits from first impressions and recency bias. Not much else to share. It’s safe to say that I am whelmed.

Great at the start and end, but if a lull in the middle. Don’t really care for stones albums, singles are usually top quality

Album legal,gostei bastante de algumas músicas como a primeira,a live white me,e a última,algumas músicas parecem muito com aquelas músicas de filme americano antigo que bota no fundo de alguma cena,geralmente de viagem ou de passagem de tempo,com uma gaita bem forte ,não sei se sou muito fã desse tipo de música kkkk,mas e um álbum bom,daira um 7/10

Love in vain was my favorite- added it to my drinking beer playlist. 5/10 I could tell it was good (obviously) but it didn’t capture my attention

6/10 The Rolling Stones are a band that I’ve tried to get into a whole bunch of times in the past. I really enjoy blues and the development of 60s and 70s Brit rock, which should make them right up my alley. Unfortunately, they kind of manage to straddle both worlds without ever landing on completely sure footing in either. When they get things right, they can be an incredibly compelling listen, but they can often be an inconsistent band that makes me, as an album listener, unable to completely get on board with their work. This album is another mixed bag of an album from the Stones. Not just from a quality point of view, but stylistically too. None of the first four tracks seems to actually have much of a common thread to them and, after throwing out an all-time classic as the opener, they really struggle to follow it up. There’s so much vibe, an edge of psychedelia and some excellent musicianship across the board in Gimme shelter, but when they drop back to a more traditional Blues and then Country sound for the following tracks, it just doesn’t feel as engaging or convincing as that opener. They do build a little into the second half of the album, but it’s still a fairly disjointed experience and they still don’t feel like they’ve completely decided what they want to be as a band. There are moments of quality scattered across the rest of the tracks, but there was nothing vastly memorable aside from the brilliant bookends of the opener and closer. You Can’t Always Get What You Want is another that uses that Blues base but adds that rocky, psychedelic edge to elevate it and bring it towards the Rolling Stones sound that I’m really looking for from their work. It’s a brilliant way to close the record, but unfortunately what lies between those two magnificent tracks is just too uneven and variable to keep me hooked. Gimme Shelter - An absolute classic to kick us off. Everything about this is great, it’s so atmospheric and vibey, the rhythm has such a great groove to it and the guitar oozes quality. Merry Clayton’s vocal is brilliant and steals the spotlight from Jagger, although they do compliment each other really well. The chorus is such a great hook too. This is a fine example of dragging the most out of what is a fairly routine chord structure and backbeat that just plugs away for the whole tune. They do so much with the work that sits above it, combined with the superb vibe, that it never gets boring. Love In Vain - This crashes down quite significantly from the high of Gimme Shelter. It’s pretty plodding, Jagger’s vocal is quite whiney and it feels super sparse by comparison. There's actually some nice playing on there, particularly from the guitar, but it's just another Stones blues cover that doesn’t particularly do anything to stand out or make it unique. I think it suffers due to its placement on the record, but I’d rather listen to Robert Johnson do it to be honest. Country Honk - A country version of Honky Tonk Women that sounds thin and poorly recorded. It kind of sounds like a barn dance singalong, rather than a rock band. It’s not a terrible song, but it’s not a great version. Meh. Live With Me - This is a bit better, although it’s another that feels stylistically very different. It’s got a decent pace to it and some great playing, particularly from the piano and sax. There’s a decent driving groove behind this and it’s got a good dose of swagger and feel to it, and it definitely got me tapping my toe. It’s this kind of thing that works really well as a solid album track. There’s nothing overly hooky about it, but it has a decent vibe and enough grit and drive to engage the ear. Let It Bleed - It feels like we’re getting back into the swing of things now. This has that laid back cool but with enough drive in there to keep things moving along nicely. The chorus is really good here in particular, but it’s all good really. The band sounds like they're having great fun and every member gets to show their stuff. There’s a load of little riffs, licks and solos in there that add depth and flavour to the track. Midnight Rambler - Back to something more basic and bluesy. The groove is decent enough, but it doesn’t really offer anything vastly interesting in terms of development or variety for the first couple of minutes. They do change the tempo and emphasis about half way through, which is a welcome change, before it then drifts away to almost nothing. What follows is just a bit disjointed. There’s probably something in there, but it all feels a bit too dragged out and there’s nothing that particularly grabbed hold of me. You Got The Silver - I quite like the vibe of this one. It’s smooth, and the interwoven guitar and organ lines are really nice. Jagger’s vocal delivery works really well here too. This feels like one of those tracks where all of the band get to have their moment of fun and focus. Everything dances around everything else really nicely and the general feel is really good. Monkey Man - There’s a nice bouncing groove to this, particularly from the main guitar riff. It’s another where they’ve got the vibe right. It doesn’t necessarily bring a vast amount of range or variation to things, but it’s carried enough on that vibe that it doesn’t matter too much. The piano and guitar playing are great, although Jagger’s vocal gets a bit distracting later on. Not the most memorable of tracks, but not bad either. You Can't Always Get What You Want - Another classic to close things. It’s a really slow build, but that gives great impact when the beat does kick in. It’s got a great syncopated feel between the guitars and drums which gives it a solid, toe tapping groove. The main vocal hook is great and the build from the verse to chorus is really nice. There’s some beautiful playing on this track from the whole band, but guitar and organ stand out for me. Jagger’s swagger here is brilliant too. The bookends of this album are just so good that they elevate the rest of the album. What a great way to close.

3 great songs. Very Americana

Not a big fan but this had some decent tracks

Tre gode sanger: gimme shelter, live with me og monkey man. Resten Rolling Stones som spiller hvit blues

Easy listen! Standout songs to me were Live With Me, Gimme Shelter and Midnight Rambler. 6/10

Nice album, but not exactly my kind of music to listen to. I wasn't really interested until the last 4 songs. Still a decent album though. Songs I like: Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want.

3.5

It was good, though twangier than I was expecting. A few better standouts (Gimme Shelter, Let it Bleed, Monkey Man, You Can’t Always Get What You Want) but largely just plain good.

I'm hoping this is 1001's version of eating your veggies because at this point I've seen just about every Stones album show up in my assignments this early in the project, and here's the thing...they just aren't for me. They never have been. As far as Let it Bleed, it's 2 of their best hits bookending a lot of mediocre blues and country filler in the middle. It's all just fine, but I'm begging the algorithm, please, no more Rolling Stones!!

I appreciate some of the Rolling Stones' best-known songs, but I've never been a fan. I tried to approach this album with fresh ears: it seemed moderately stylistically coherent, but unconvincing, the vocals annoying, I fidgeted as it trundled along in background. I concluded it is seven fillers, bookended by two iconic songs. Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are imperfect but interesting songs, worthy of many a listen - without them, the album would be a 1, with them I'll say (having come back to recalibrate) it's Mix of Good and Bad, 5/10 = 3 stars.

It’s not my usual style but it was still good. I’ve heard a few songs from this album before but haven’t listened to the whole thing. I would rate it probably. 6/10

Start and finish tracks are obvious classics. Middle is ok, a bit Dylan-esque (which isn't a good thing), but more enjoyable than anything Dylan has ever put out. Solid middle of the road 3 of 5.

As someone who has had potentially embarrassingly little exposure to their music, Gimme Shelter was incredible and made me wonder what I had missed. And then the rest of the album was completely different.

Really strong songs with not great filler

It surprised me with the country and theatrics. Midnight Rambler felt like Dr. Frank-N-Furter would sing it. Easy listening.

+ fajny cowboys vibe + wprowadza w trans + fajne wokale + znowu freaky momentami + jak soundtrack do filmu + dobór instrumentów - monotonne i nudne - przewidywalne - melodie bardzo podobne (brak zmian w melodyce) - fajne, ale niezapadające w pamięć - nic mnie nie poruszyło

I've found that with these old ass bands there's typically a good reason you've heard the songs you've heard and not heard their other stuff. The bookends of this album are solid but the middle is so forgettable

Rock like this is so groovy and catchy I really enjoyed it. The guitars are showy and vocals are pretty good. Great album.

Never really got the stones, after two listens of this still don't. Needs to either be more bluesy or heavier. Around a high 6 to 7

5/10

Fun! Not revolutionary except for the Main One, kinda honky tonky

One or two good songs but it's not really iconic enough to be listed on this platform

classic

Gimme Shelter: Such a good opener to album. The little ooohs at the beginning are so good with the buildup. End of world anthem. Please remind to check out work/ music that has Merry Clayton on it 🤓 Her voice and Mick’s go so well together. It’s just a shoot away is something I will probably remember the most out of this song. Love in vain: I’m sorry but being a fan of Robert Johnson 😔, I was okay with this reinterpretation. I like the instrumental and how I can imagine going to a bar with a buddy after this situation happening. Going into detail, with a hint of regret and sadness. Country Honk: I like the fiddle 🤓👍 Live with me: The late 60s and early 70s were a different time buddy. What an odd way of asking your girlfriend to come live with you. Bobby keys on the sax and Keith Richards on the bass🙀 I like the mention of Crazy Horse, I didn’t know it started in the 50s. I like the lyric: they got earphone heads. But I’m not an hippie hater. Overall a well composed song, a problematic fav I suppose. Let it bleed : I really like the drums and bass towards the bridge to the end. Midnight Rambler: A harmonica solo! 🤯The tempo change and drums change. I really enjoy the storytelling in the lyrics. Probably my fav song so far.

Another solid rock album. They influenced a lot of what came after, so don't want to diminish any of that, but for me it's always been The Beatles over the Stones

Some standout songs especially give me shelter. Quite a country vibe and overall a v pleasant listen. I do think Rolling stones were overshadowed by some contemporaries, but enjoyed it

I’ve never really listened to the Rolling Stones and honestly didn’t expect them to be so folky/bluesy/country as this. I have no doubt that I’d see a lot more range if I listened to their whole repertoire but this didn’t really grab me. Gimme Shelter was a banger to start but it kind of lost me after that. Would have liked more of that energy to continue.

Rolling Stones #2. No surprise there, we're definitely due given the 50 Beatleses we started with. The cover is nice, crisp and unique. Shoutout to them for actually having a "the" in their name. Somehow I missed that Puddle of Mudd covered 'Gimme Shelter'! That song sure is in a lot of media. 'Country Honk' would be a good name for a duck. Highlights: 'You Got the Silver', 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'

Det var ret fedt, måske ikke mega meget min smag, men jeg fucker stadig med det.

Veel duidelijke instrumenten, love dat! Tekst is mwhua. Goede gitaarrifjes. De blazers zijn ook erg nice! En love voor ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’, dat koor blijft fantastisch! Betoverend zelfs

What in the country folk

This project is making me like the Stones which is honestly pissing me off

banger

The Rolling Stones have nothing to prove to me. They have produced some great music in their day. When they are on, they are on. And like most of their other albums, they usually create solid single tracks with some fairly forgettable tracks. For me, Gimme Shelter and Monkey Man make the album. I will give honorable mention to You Can’t Always Get What You Want, but even that track has worn out to me over the years. And it didn’t rebound to me listening to the album straight through.

Love the album cover, Country and rock mixture Ranked in terms of fav to least song Midnight rambler You can’t always get you want Monkey man You got the silver Let it bleed Live with me Love in vain(Bob Dylan vibes) Gimme shelter Country honk

I mean first and last are legendary. The rest is forgettable to gross. How do you rate that?

Okay, but a Little Bit monoton

A very experimental album with a fairly consistent genre. Favourite track: Let it Bleed

thought i’d not like it but i did pop puss to quite a few songs. the more upbeat moments were my favs even tho i really liked love in vain. guitars sounded amazing. songs saved: 5/9 fav song: gimme shelter

This album has big "bookend" tracks: Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want. Along the way there's also a country'ish version of Country Honk. The rest is more generic but has the same bluesy rock feel. Maybe my favorite Stones album so far, borderline 4.

Three big singles and a lot of solid, if forgettable, filler. One could probably argue this is a 4, but this list has given me a little Stones Fatigue.

Good but not really my taste

Gimme shelter do g a lot of heavy lifting. Favourite song: Gimme Shelter

Listened: in car, washing up Paused

Not very catchy songs but still nice and relaxed

No sellanen blues ja country vibainen levy rollareilta tällä kertaa. Eihän tämä huono missään nimessä

It’s good. It’s just nothing that would surprise me with quality or creativity

alright

i think it's a solid album, some songs really stand out agaist the others, but overall i had a good time.

This wasn't the best Stones album, imo. They just don't pull off the fake honky tonk that they were going for in a couple of the songs. Far from the worst album in this list, though. Gimme Shelter and Let It Bleed are great, though.

very old.. country esque that i am not the biggest fan of but it is not a bad album at all

Personally 3, I guess objectively a 5 for what it was when it came out

I'd say it's the best Rolling Stones album we've had so far. Starts and ends with 2 absolute classics, and most of what's in between is quite good, too. My biggest issue is Jagger's voice just doesn't do it for me on the bluesier songs. This one would be a 3 1/2 if we could give halves.

I seem to always compare the Rolling Stones with The Beatles. But I think they have and will be compared for all eternity. I know and enjoy all the hit songs from the Stones, but I have never listened to their full studio albums. I know The Beatles albums by heart. But when it comes to the full Stones albums, the rest of their stuff is just filler to me.

Gimme Shelter gets the album a 3 even if it was the only song on it. Everything between it and You can't always get what you want are filler, but still worth a once over.

GOING IN: No strong feelings LISTENED WHILE: Morning on the treadmill FAMILIARITY: Know a few songs SKIP RATE: Played it straight through REPLAY VALUE: Might come back to it DISCOVERY CURVE: Got it by the end ALBUM ARC: Warmed up nicely VERDICT: Fair enough BODY'S VERDICT: Toe tapping situation FAVOURITE TRACK: ...Duh! ALBUM RATING: 3

- Can't Always Get What You Want is one of my favorite songs of all time - Have never listened to this one all the way through, so excited - Oh wow the connection between "following her to the station" in Love is Vain and then "seeing her at the station" in CAGWYW - so much more twang than i would've anticipated! - excellent last song choice - was also subbing a very chaotic and noisy class and listened to this album on my breaks, so my opinion may be slightly impacted by that :P 3.5/5

Gimme Shelter - 5/5 Love In Vain - 3.5/5 Country Honk - 2.5/5 Live With Me - 3.5/5 Let It Bleed - 3/5 Midnight Rambler - 3.5/5 You Got the Silver - 3.5/5 Monkey Man - 3.5/5 You Can't Always Get What You Want - 4/5 This album is carried by its opening and closing tracks. Gimme Shelter is a phenomenal opener, which is kind of a let down as the rest of the album is kinda just meh. Sure, there is a decent variety of musical styles but none of them really stand out against one another. 2 stars for Gimme Shelter and You Can't... alone. Overall: 3.5/5 Favorites: Gimme Shelter, You Can't Always Get What You Want

Decent 3,5

This album has Gimme Shelter. And, yes, I'm going to say it. It's moody, overused and just not that great. I know enough about Keith Richards to see the vibe he was going for on this. It's open tuned and bluesy. To his credit, as the one guy playing guitar, he really chews the scenery (or whatever the musical equivalent is). In fact, his singing on that Silver song is probably the standout for me. The acoustic ones are bluesy and boring. When it's full band, the drumming is a highlight. Can't always get what you want is overrated too. 3 stars.

already listened

Nice album and a few classic songs to enjoy. 5th Stones album and i'm sure 3 or 4 would have sufficed.

3.5. Liked it a lot, I’m surprised!

Some songs just go on too long.

a couple of great tunes, but also plenty of country and blues stuff, that I don't particularly fancy.

Can not let myself give this album anything less than 3 solely because Gimme Shelter. One of the greatest songs of all time and my go-to hype song whenever I get aux before a game. However, holy this album was not as strong as I thought it'd be. I've seen the cover on best-of-all-time lists, but how? Gimme Shelter is phenomenal, You Can't Always Get What You Want is solid enough, and...? What else? There's nothing else. MAYBE Midnight Rambler and Monkey Man? MAYBE. After an incredible start in Gimme Shelter it goes into sloppy county territory? Weird.

la copertina fa paura, mi è piaciuto molto anche se credo aftermath mi sia piaciuto di più

Meh.two great songs.

Aerosmith is not Rolling Stones. This was a good album.

I found this album to be fairly generic. Not bad but not great.

I'm always surprised with how the Rolling Stones sound. This is more country blues than rock, and I always thought they were pure rock. They started recording this album, and then fired one of the founders of the band, Brian Jones, who promptly became a member of the 27 club and died immediately after after getting drunk and diving into a pool. Just crazy to think that one of the founders of the band died, and then the band kept performing for the next 50 years. 50 years! I dunno. The music is there, sounds great, but the style is not for me. I get why people like it, but it's not my style. Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are the best songs on there, and the others are just too country for me. Stones are just so weird to me. They're a great band......but something feels missing to me. I think in my head, I have them built up as this legendary rock that changed everything.....and the music just doesn't live up to what they are in my head. Unfair to them because it's good music, i'm just left feeling unfulfilled.

i liked it

Decent, if a bit noisy and juvenile

Precis som alla andra Stonesplattor från 60talet är det spretigt och ojämnt. 60talet var verkligen singlarnas årtionde. Let it bleed har sanslösa toppar men också rejäla svackor. Pluskontot först, gunget i rytmsektoonen på "Gimme shelter" är oöverträffat i rockhistorien, helt fantastiskt. En del skulle hävda att "You cant always get what you want" är den bästa Stoneslåten. Jag håller inte med men jag har full förståelse för den åsikten. Men det finns mer guld, "Monkey man" är Stones i sitt esse, countryversionen på "Honky Tonk women" är inte omistlig men himla kul. Tittelspåret skvallrar om vad som skulle komma på "Exile..." ett par år senare. Å andra sidan "Live with me" och "You got the silver är dussinlåtar och ren utfyllnad. "Love in vain" må vara en klassiker men är för mycket blues, i alla fall för mig. Och albumversionen av "Midnight rambler" är rätt platt och tråkig, har man någon självaktning lyssnar man på versionen från liveplattan från året efter istället, då får du höra Charlie Watts i högform. Snuddar vid fyran tack vare topparna men orkar inte riktigt dit

Överlag svängig rock med tydliga influenser från soul och country utöver den obligatoriska bluesen. Mick Jaggers sång är den svaga länken tycker jag. Smärtsamt tydligt i Love in Vain och i ylandet i Gimme Shelter. Är det verkligen Jagger eller har de lånat in Kim Larsen? Trumspelet är fantastiskt. Driver fram alla låtar utan ett virvelslag för mycket.

This is a pretty solid rock album. There are a couple parts where it creeps too close to country for my taste, but still a fun album. I mean it has the iconic song "You Can't Always Get What You Want"!!!

One of the better Rolling Stones records, bookended by two of the band's best songs. I like the silly-random artwork. What even is going on there? Key tracks: Gimme Shelter You Can't Always Get What You Want

Good songs but I wasn't really immersed; of its time.

78/100 A bunch of solid songs and a couple bangers It’s just that as an album there’s not a lot that makes it stand out Not a big concept and no huge themes that I could big up on first listen

Good ol’ classic.

Great tunes at the start and end....nothing outstanding in the middle but nothing offensive.

2 good songs bookmarked by mediocrity

3.5

Classic Stones record with some really nice bangers (Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want) and some nice filling material. Don't get me wrong - it's a good album but the Stones could do better.

Fantastic bookends to this album, but not my favorite by them. Still pretty darn good though.

5.8/10

Rating: 6/10 I really don’t care much for the Stones, and after Gimme Shelter, the album doesn’t do a lot for me until the second half comes along to pick it up more

not an attentive listen-through 6.2/10

Something I could listen to again without hating myself. 6 stones rolling down the street out of 10 lizard wizards

\_______/

Did I really listen to this just because it ends with You Can't Always Get What You Want? Stripped of its notoriety, it's that 1969 classic American rock sound. If you want that, this is a great album. Otherwise I find the bulk of it forgettable. 2.7/5

I’m not a stones guy really

A wildly uneven record with weird sequencing, *Let It Bleed* mixes some of the Stones' most adventurous and forward-looking songs with undistinguished genre exercises. The album kicks off with the tense and potent "Gimme Shelter" but then immediately downshifts into a (mildly out-of-tune) version of Robert Johnson's "Love In Vain". The string of loose and tossed-off songs that close out side one don't bode well, either. Flip the record over, then in comes "Midnight Rambler", "Monkey Man" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" to save the party (interrupted only by the inessential "You Got The Silver"). All of these songs rank with the band's best work, including the sometimes-overlooked "Monkey Man" (with its terrific intro). One can only wish that the entire record had gone in this direction rather than including so many throwback-sounding tunes.

Sleasy af and lacking depth but a decently structured album with a fair few bangers. Although I feel the Rolling Stones have aged very poorly, they have it down by this point. The wrongun in me kinda likes it.

tbf, I wouldn't actively turn it off - and there's some nostalgia here I can't escape

Sounds great and a couple of classic songs.

The age old question, are you a stones or Beatles fan and I’m firmly in the latter. This album does have some classics on it with some other good songs but besides that the rest is perfectly average

Overrated

Interesting stuff. In my unusual position - as someone who listens to a bunch of 60s albums regularly but has never listened to a stones record through - this was really interesting. I knew that they were heavily blues influenced, but I didn't realise that outside of the singles and well known tracks, a record like this would be quite heavy in acoustic blues jams. It makes the blues influence on their rockier stuff feel more pronounced. The famous tracks are very strong. Gimme shelter is really fantastic. I'm so familiar with pub covers of honky tonk women that the original feels alien. The album doesn't flow like a Beatles record for me (but what does!)

oon tajunnu etten ehkä oo isoin 60-luvun rokin fani. toisaalta hyvät vibat varsinki ekat kaks biisii jotenki veti puoleensa mut sen jälkeen ei napannut niin paljon. klassista sen ajan rokkia ja ymmärrän kyl miksi tästä niin tykätään mutta tää ei vaan oo ihan mua varten! silti ihan miellyttävä kuuntelukokemus. ok kirjotin tän ennen ku kuuntelin vikaa biisiä ja se nostaa tän kolmeen tähteen. upea ikoninen

#127 - it's ok but not remarkable

Classic hamburger album. Amazing buns, but the patty is so undercooked a skilled vet might still save it.

As a piece of music it’s alright to listen to. Nothing crazy. I like Mick’s voice but his fake American accent is annoying, especially when he’s quite an eloquent bloke when he’s talking.

Overall I liked more songs than I disliked ok this album and added a few to my library. It’s not an album I’d choose to listen to all the way through though as there were several songs I would skip.

Ok. Maybe I’m just tired of the Rolling Stones Albums by now but this just felt decent and not much else. 3 stars

I need the full recording of Merry Clayton’s backing vocals on Gimme Shelter immediately

Did not enjoy this save for Gimme Shelter. Boring album right up until the end again.

Ok

Liked it a lot, will probably listen again, would give 3.5

Solid

This is the only Arcade Fire album I have in my collection

I feel a lot of nostalgia for this album. After learning more about the making of the opening track, I also feel a lot of emotion and my experience of it is irrevocably changed (not for the better). It’s hard for me to judge this one on purely musical terms. Some tracks are great, others are just fine. My rating on this could swing wildly from day to day, so today I’m putting it in the middle.
