Reviews (page 10 of 15)
Pretty fun and cool, but nothing that wowed me, other than the first song. Sorry for the short reviews on here but I don't have time daily and wasn't originally going to do them at all.
C'était un peu déroutant. Dans ma tête, les Stones, c'est du rock des années 60 plus sulfureux que la moyenne et un style sex, drugs and rock'n'roll jusqu'au-boutiste. Et avec un titre comme Let It Bleed, tu t'attends à un truc un peu méchant et osé. Et en fait pas du tout. C'est un album de blues rock, plutôt classique (on a même droit à une reprise de Love In Vain, de Robert Johnson) avec parfois même des moments country et des influences de gospel. Et c'est pas du tout raccord avec l'image que j'ai du groupe, que je ne connais pour ainsi dire que très peu. Cela dit, ça n'était pas mal non plus ! C'était pas tout à fait mon genre, mais il faut admettre que l'album n'est pas très long, il est varié et contient des tas de passages que j'ai beaucoup aimés.
Aside from banger Gimme Shelter it was fine, kind of groovy and would have been more enjoyable live
Again, one or two bangers and the rest just a bit mid
3 stars. Why? Because you can't always get what you want.
Overrated
Actually a great album for a road trip
Took a long time to appreciate this. Very bluesy and slow pace. But now I think is a lot of fun, not much more than this. The highlights is the first and the last track.
Dig this one, despite that ender. Honestly it’s hard to say if the song is that bad or if it was just ruined by radio. Probably the latter but it’s really hard to say at this point. That opener on the other hand; it’s likely even more overexposed, but it’s never soured. Great tune. Then you got all the good time honky tonk in the middle. Good times. 3 & just under a half
i like the rolling stones, but this one isn’t my favorite. favorite: You Can’t Always Get What You Want
This was good, but nothing extraordinary. 3.0/5.0: Good
completely carried by gimme shelter
Some mid songs framed by two good songs at the beginning and end of the album. The producers knew how to leave an impression by sorting the songs this way – classic expectation management. 3/5
6/10 Best songs: Gimme Shelter It's genuinely wild how strong the album starts - Gimme Shelter is a phenomenal song. It then devolves into adequate British blues before ending on a high note (You Can't Always Get What You Want). I understand why people (my mother...) might enjoy this album, but it is definitely resting on the laurels of its two standout tracks.
It's a solid album, with music that isn't particularly fresh sounding to me. Like an old boot
Country blues album sandwhiched by two unrelated singles
Good solid album
The Stones put out some good stuff. This is alright.
I never loved the Stones growing up. I still am more on the Beatles side of things, but this is a good album. They have their sound figured out here. I’ve always loved the choir intro of You Can’t Always Get What You Want - so different and cool from your typical rock. That song bookended with Gimme Shelter is quite the pairing. Mid to high 3 Highs: You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Gimme Shelter Lows: the rest is more or less a filler, but might grow on me
Idk if this is really my thing. It's good enough rock and roooooowllllll but idk just doesn't do loads for me but maybe I was too hot when I was listening and didn't have the most open ears.
I find it fascinating how I always find the Rolling Stones only... OK.
Gimme Shelter may be one of the best songs ever
This album contains the other Stones song that I like, so it has that going for it. “Gimme Shelter” is incredible, but let’s not do a silly thing and pretend that’s down to Jagger et al - there is no other word for Mary Clayton and her vocals than ‘astonishing’. I also liked how the piano was used, across the album as a whole. But my God, the rest of this album is tedious. It is, at least, a reasonable length - any more of a hootin’, hollerin’, and honky-tonkin’ Mick Jagger might have tipped me over the edge. I also know that I should like “You Can’t Always Get What You Want”, but I never have - and it’s now a song which reminds me of “Glee”, which I’m not sure was the intention. It also goes on far, far too long. It’s probably a 2.5* album for me, but I liked it a bit more than the last Stones one which we had foisted upon us, so I’m rounding up.
svag trea. jag tröttnade
Hitsen hittar rejält men som helhetsalbum inte frälst denna gång heller. Stark trea?
ok jag förstår varför man gillar det här men det känns lite själlöst??
Ah, my last Stones album on this list, the 6th to be exact. Like it's predecessor, this is more on the RnB side. First and last track are classics and bangers, the rest is ok.
Heard it 3 times and I don't remember any part of any of the songs. Vaguely pleasant
Definitely the best of their albums I've heard yet. Consistently quite good Fav tracks: Monkey Man, Midnight Rambler
This was ok. The hits were great but the rest were just fine. None of the extras were awesome
After five of their albums, I'm discovering I feel pretty so-so about the Stones. I liked the bluesy vibes of this one, and it did get better as it went on. I liked the second half from Midnight Rambler on better than the first several tracks, and You Can't Always Get What You Want is one of my favorites of theirs. Wasn't quite at a 4 though.
Man, this album. I have multiple projects going. I’ve had it already. The first time I was really looking forward to it. Thought it was better than Sticky Fingers. I WAS WRONG. The first song is awesome of course. Gimme Shelter has to be one of the greatest songs of all time. And the closer, You Can’t Always Get is an all time favorite as well. But the rest? Yeah, it’s… really not good. 3 Boolean: Still True
my first rolling stones album! announces a long journey of musical discoveries. great album
This is the stones album on here that I've hated the least so far. But this list has affirmed for me that I straight up don't like this band, and that this list likes this band too much.
Great
The first and last track of this album HEAVILY carry it. The rest is un-noteworthy, skippable filler. 3/5.
I like the cover and title That bumps it up by a star
not too bad
Some great ones in here but spread amongst some I really can't get into.
Not as bad as some of their albums, but still fairly turgid shite at times. Having listened to four of their albums at the moment I honestly don't understand their enduring success/appeal. They've usually got about one or two decent songs per album, and then a slew of bilge.
Bra album, men lite långtråkig i mitten. Starkt avslut och bra start
I found this album opened strong however some of the other songs were not my favourite.
Some good stuff I guess but not for me.
I get the rock-ish vibe but what this sound involves into later in the 70s I dig more. But a cute little album, though I do feel like it starts promising and dies down. The opener track is the best track on the album, for sure.
You can't always get what you want whattt a choice for the closing track
Two great slices of my favourite Ciabatta (Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want) and some stale ham and processed cheese in the middle (the rest). Shame. Ok, ok, Midnight Rambler is a bit of sauce to spice it up a bit but in all I feel that it was a waste of good bread...Still a 3 for the two classics and the sauce...
Rape. Murder. Just a shot away. It’s fine. Maybe I have bad AirPods and speaker and car speakers and phone speakers but the vocals were hard to hear in every song.
This is fine. Gimme Shelter is fine. Monkey Man might be the best on the album. It's not bad, but not great either. Solid good album worthy of a 3.
in times of trouble mother mary calls to me singing words of wisdom let it bleed let it bleed de stones worden vanzelf oud in deze lijst (fun fact in de nieuwe versie wordt hun 2021 album ook toegevoegd. hopeloos), maar ik heb hiervan genoten!!
I’ve always liked the song Gimme Shelter, but it definitely hits different now being an adult aware of how easily war and crisis can happen. I don’t love the guitar being in only my left ear at the beginning of Love In Vain. The sound and Mick Jagger’s voice remind me of Violent Femmes though which is fun. Too slow/boring of a song for me though. Country Honk was fine I guess. I enjoyed the guitars being split in Live with Me. I did not care for the lyrics though. Oh god, I don’t really like the lyrics to Let It Bleed. Midnight Gambler was fun, but I don’t think I’d seek it out. I enjoyed You Got the Silver. Monkey Man was mid. Absolutely love You Can’t Always Get What You Want but really wish the acoustic guitar was in both ears. I’m sure I wouldn’t mind as much on speakers.
Ok
I've had this on vinyl for decades and haven't listened to it for decades. The famous songs are good and the rest is OK.
Pretty decent bluesy rock, besides the classic singles nothing totally wowed me though. 6/10.
6/10
Meh, solo disfrute let ir bleed
Country-like music didn't click much
ok
Ya ni me acuerdo de este album, lo escuché antes de que juegue argentina contra Inglaterra. Las Malvinas son argentinas, a mamarla. 7/10
Not a fan of country music but the lyrics were quite nice and catchy
Gimme Shelter er en all timer. You Can't Always Get What You Want er ikke mer enn noen hakk bak. Hva skjer med å ta en litt corny men egentlig ganske bra låt og spørre seg selv hvordan de kunne gjort den dårligere? Om Country Honk måtte eksistere, hører den hjemme på B-Sides & Rarities. Både tittelsporet og Midnight Rambler synes jeg funker veldig bra. Dette kunne vært en 10/10 EP. Er kanskje en 7/10 LP?
Stones går lenger enn Beatles i deres forsøk på å «get back». De stripper ikke bare ned låtene, de tar strømmen også. De var godt i gang med det på Beggar’s Banquet, så kanskje med disse to albumene har vi et lite inntrykk av hvordan et White Album kunne hørtes ut delt i to enkle. Stones har noen av sin sterkeste låter på Let it Bleed. «Gimme Shelter» og «You Can’t Always Get What You Want» løfter plata opp, og det trenger den egentlig. Stones som countryband peaka med «Wild Horses» (som ryktes å være skrevet av Gram Parsons??), mens de andre forsøkene gjerne låter litt parodiske med Mick Jagger sin tøyse-Texas for å toppe det hele. Du skal være bra kontrær for å foretrekke «Country Honk» over «Honky Tonk Women». «Live With Me» funket faktisk bedre live i Shine A Light-filmen med Christina Aguilera som gjest. Heldigvis er også «Midnight Rambler» og «Monkey Man» med på plata, ellers hadde åpningssporet og avslutningssporet måttet løfte tungt.
Once again, I'm not a fan of The Rolling Stones. Their legacy is overrated IMO. This is a good record though, plenty of blues roots here, but some honky tonk crap in the middle. Not good enough to make me wanna go back.
I’m always kinda torn on this record. Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, and You Can’t Always Get What You Want are all-timers, but the “Stones go country” tunes that make up the rest of the album are not my thing.
I know and own Gimme Shelter and You Can’t Always Get What You Want. This was fine. Not bad, not great. I like 60's Rolling Stones more than any other era of The Rolling Stones.
Solid love me give me shelter
Some great classics, but also a little more country-ish than I expected.
Kantribiisit sano jiiihhaaa ja mä sanoin huoh alussa kun kuuntelin. Lätty kuitenkin parani huomattavasti loppua kohden ja oli ihana kuulla sitä ainutlaatuista soundia, mitä rollareilla on. Ei heidän paras levynsä, mutta ei huonoinkaan.
good album, that's it.
Oli hyvä! Jotenki kun mietin rollareita mietin ihan eri aikakautta. Oon sen verran sivistymätön. Ollu hauska jutella äitin kaa näistä levyistä mitä täällä on, se kerto yks päivä semmosta että kun se oli nuori niin Oulussa oli jonkun kauppakeskuksen yläkerrassa farkkuliikkeet ja sinne kun eteni niin alko oikeen pauhaamaan semmonen nuoristolaisten musiikki ja se ilmapiiri oli vahvasti "äiti voin mennä yksin ei sun tarvi tulla" ja rollarit on varmaan ollu just sitä. Tykkäsin, hyvä lätty. Ei mikään mun sielunmaisema kuitenkaan.
Starts well and ends well. The middle hmmm a bit blah
Tutaj będzie krótko, nie znam mocno twórczości The Rolling Stones, po odpaleniu albumu zaczyna się świetnie utworem Gimme Shelter, jednak później mam wrażenie, że cały album odwraca sie o 180 stopni od tego tracka i leci w zupełnie innym kierunku. Robiłem dwa podejścia do tego albumu ale jakoś sam krążek nie chce mnie zachęcić, żeby odkrywać jego historię czy okoliczności powstania. Dam 3/5 za Gimme Shelter, może jeszcze kiedyś tu wrócę.
Gimme shelter has to be the most iconic car commercial song of all time at this point. A honkey tonk rock and roll album. A great cap to the era before the 70's took over
Not my taste, but it is objectively good music.
6.5/10, good music but not really for me, I find it somewhat boring and repetitive.
Another puzzlingly inconsistent album from The Rolling Stones - like Beggars Banquet, this one is at its best on its bluesy songs, with the more rootsy country stuff falling more flat. I don't think The Rolling Stones can really pull off a varied album like this.
The Stones strike again with another strange album containing a couple all-time great songs with a bunch of bullshit in between. I just can’t seem to get behind their attempt at honky tonk stuff. This album even contains Country Honk, which is apparently the original version of how Honky Tonk Women was supposed to sound, but it’s significantly worse because they’re a British band trying to make a damn country sound!!!! Three points for Gimme Shelter tho.
This is totally fine. As we have seen before, you have two all time great songs with a lot of weaker material sandwiched in, but I did find myself enjoying Let it Bleed (song) and Monkey Man at least. This is one of their more listenable efforts.
not too much of my jam, but it wasn't unpleasant to listen to either.
Hard rock, blues, country blues.
5/10 I think front-to-back this is the best Stones album I've heard so far, but I only really got into about half of it.
A bit all over the place and shit in the middle somewhat
Is it this good?? Doesn’t really do much for me. Gimme shelter is classic but I don’t see myself loving it..
Gimme Shelter is an absolute classic, but the rest of the album doesn't quite match that peak. country honk feels very off from the rest of the album, but overall it isnt a bad listen
fav songs: gimme shelter you got the silver you can't always get what you want blues, iconic, dusty 60/100
It's a good album all right, I don't have anything bad to say about it. Gimme Shelter is certainly a banger. The blues ballads are nicely done, even if not particulary groundbreaking. However, this list pretty much confirmed that outside of their big hits, the Rolling Stones mostly bore me. I can't really explain why - they just do. Their music often feels like something's missing, something I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it just doesn't speak to me on an emotional level ; or maybe it's their weird obssession with making American roots music, which always felt a bit forced and artificial. Not an unpleasant listen overall, but I don't see myself coming back to it. 5/10
Damn. This is a very good album. This might be their 5. Let’s see how I feel… Uh… no. No. This is a shit sandwich. Gimme Shelter- a bunch of shit - You can’t Always get what you want. The album cover even displays it. They knew. 3 Boolean: uhhhh,True?
I can’t lie this is definitely the best Rolling Stones album on the list - 60s rock is never my thing, it still isn’t after this album but this wasn’t a bad listen at all! Cool album cover too
A criminally underrated and unknown band. In an alternative universe they'd be more beloved and well known than Steps. "Let it bleed" was a pleasant listen. A good mix of old rock, blues and country elements culminating in an "All American" sound. I particularly enjoyed the fiddling on "Country Honk." They're not a band I've really spent the time to listen to. I know there will be more Rolling Stones records on the list so I look forward to hearing them. 3/5
This is mostly for Gimme Shelter tbh
Overall pleasant. I don't think it's as much a shit sandwich as some say it is, it definitely has good bits in between the heavy hitter opener and closer. I say this as someone who typically prefers an earlier Stones sound, even if they're a band best listened to for their occasional hit single rather than any of their albums as an experience.
Kaks päris head lugu, ülejäänud pigem fillerid. Võibolla aja kohta väga head, aga praegu tundub see pigem basic ja mitte väärt albumile panemist. 3.2/5
would maybe stop if it played on radio in a car
You Can’t always get what you want is such a damn good song. Album is a classic.
I was incredibly bored by this album
A 3.5 for me. A good album sandwiched between two stand out tracks in Gimmie Shelter and Can’t Always Get What You Want, but the middle feels loose and too honkeytonk / bluesy influences so sounds lost between the two genres.
Commence bien, finie bien, milieu oubliable mais album sympa.
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.
Nothing that particularly stands out except start and beginning of album
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.
6.78
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.
