Solid outing, but more repetitive than other albums and I don't connect with the songs as much other than Gimme Shelter

Two of the finest tracks of all time, plus some others that are a little less memorable.

Esta medio trabado en medio campo, pero no deja de ser alineación legendaria.

Con la primera y la última del álbum tienen para entretenerse, chiquitines.

inches rolones trae ese disco.

5/10

I'm a convert. Been listening to the stones all day.

Muy buenas canciones, melodías, acompañamientos y orquestación. Como siempre de esta gente, un muy buen disco

The Rolling Stones' eighth UK & tenth US album continued their return to a more "blues-based" rock music and winded up going double platinum. The album's songs were described as heavy, haunting, and erotic. The most popular songs were "Gimme Shelter" & "You Can't Always Get What You Want," which I liked the most as well. In a way, this album was able to musically capture and project the sense of dread that the world was experiencing at the time. This album still stands out today as one of The Rolling Stones best.

I've never had a particularly strong opinion about the Rolling Stones. For the most part, their classic radio hits are songs that I enjoy, but they've never driven me to check out their back catalog. I don't know how this album compares to their others (and still need to go back to review Exile on Main Street), but Let It Bleed felt quite bluesy throughout. In the past, that may have led me to give it a higher ranking because I enjoy the blues sound. But in 2021 it's hard not to read it as gross appropriation that is not done as well as the originators of the style. The lead track, Gimme Shelter, is a great song that starts out the album strong, but it arguably continues to decline from there until the album itself reminds us that we can't always get what we want, even if all we want is a consistently solid album. As the goose says, country honque.

I firmly believe that this record has no place on the list of 1001 albums anyone needs to listen to. If you are of a mind to be a part of this project, you have heard every track that is worth listening to from this record dozens of times and the rest are are forgettable filler. This was also true of the last Rolling Stones album we had to review and I am fairly confident it will be the case for the other dozen I am afraid are going to come up over the next three years. Christ all mighty, please space out the rest better.

I don't have any disdain for The Rolling Stones, like some people, ahem. I will even venture to say that I like them. Will I spend hundreds of dollars to go to one of their shows? Probably not. I think this album shows the breadth of their music - some songs are clearly rock, others are more jazz, some are acoustic and others a bit country/honky tonk. Their impact to the music that came after them is far reaching. And yes, the whole druggie rockstar thing is played out now. Many will try to emulate their music and their lifestyle and few will be successful.

Classic rolling stones. Gimme Shelter the star.

Starts nicely with an absolute banger. Lots of bluesy stuff that doesn't jump out but makes for some chill listening. 3.5 for me

For a band on their 10th album in 6 years, this is a solid effort with at least 3 classics tunes. Not every song works, sometimes it sounds like they're just jamming and making stuff up on the spot, but overall still a solid effort.

Det här var fedd

Their bestest album!

its really really good, but I know it too well now and can't enjoy it as much!

I see why this is a classic. First RS listened to in it’s entirety. Very bluesy which is what I’ve heard before, as to Beatles being more pop than rock. Honky Tonk woman first draft?

The Rolling Stones are annoying, because they have a lot of individual songs that I think are amazing, but I dont really like any of their albums that much. I find that their albums tend to have a lot of filler, and not very good flow. This one is no different. Its bookended by amazing tracks, but I dont really like most of the tracks in between.

A classic, I have it on vinyl. More bluesy/country than other albums (violin/piano). Quite a mix of serious and goofy songs. Rating 3 since it's mostly carried by two songs.

Just a solid rock album. Elements of country and blues interspersed throughout. More than a little horn. Favorite tracks: "Country Honk", "Live With Me", "Midnight Rambler"

I mean - an album that STARTS with Gimme Shelter and ENDS with You Can't Always Get What You Want? I'm not the world's biggest Stones fan, but this is undeniably just a masterpiece of chewy hard-driving rock.

Gimme shelter, let it bleed, country honk, monkey man, you can’t always get what you want! I didn’t love *every* song, but there’s enough timeless bangers here that I can’t go under 5 stars

Niet echt een uitzonderlijk album, maar wel oké

one of the best from the stones. this was in the midst of their great time. I lie the drunken swaggering bar band sounds.

It's one of the core Stones albums, some absolute classics on here. What more is there to say? Might not be *my* first choice for entry-level Stones, but if you pick it, I can't say you picked wrongly per se.

Wow I didn't know they made a more country / honkey tonk version of Honkey Tonk Women. I dig it. Probably my favorite collection of Rolling Stones songs? 4

Very solid album, featuring some great hits. There was some great music in the late 60s and this is one of the best albums

Some classic tracks, and the others are good. Never really listened to a whole rolling stones album before

Great

good, and their drummer has just died this week. RIP

Not a huge Stones fan, but Gimme Shelter is amazing... At least until Mick starts to sing.

"At about 2:59 into the song, Clayton's voice cracks under the strain; once during the second refrain on the word "shot", then on the word "murder" during the third refrain, after which Jagger is faintly heard exclaiming "Woo!" in response to Clayton's powerful delivery. Upon returning home, Clayton suffered a miscarriage, attributed by some sources to her exertions during the recording."

Another classic

I didn't realise they were American. 2 good songs (we all know which they are) and some generic bluesy American stuff in the middle. Mostly underwhelming, was primed for more consistent quality.

I was looking forward to this then just a bit disappointed.

"We all want someone we can cream on." Yeahhhh fuck the Rolling Stones and their misogyny. Songs lack structure, just 4-ish minute jams that don't go anywhere with dumb lyrics that repeat over and over. This is probably my favorite release from them because it's kind of short.

Decent album, I am a fan of can't always get what you want, I think I'm not much of a Rolling Stones fan in general though, it turns out

Great stuff! So many classic here. Arguably the best Stones song ever in Gimme Shelter

Very nice! 2 mega hits. What more to expect

Another frenetic and rugged album , featuring Gimme Shelter, a quintessential jam that featured post-psychedelic guitar counterpoint. (8/10) Favourite Songs: Gimme Shelter, You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Tired of Stones, overrated

okeinnn

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altamont_Free_Concert#Death_of_Meredith_Hunter

one of their best album

nothing bad to say. very good

Great album.

This is a classic Rock Album. One of the gotos on roadtrips.

Classic and timeless

Really enjoyable for the youthful energy, swagger and playfulness. You can feel the enjoyment in the band playing together. Ambitious, provocative, shocking and vigorous, but doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. Don't like the mix on the vocals on the first few tracks, especially Gimme Shelter - it sounds like Mick Jagger is at the far side of the room.

Look, Gimme Shelter is an excellent song, as are some others on this album (Live with me, You can't always...). However, some are just ok and some are actually shit (looking at you, Country Honk). So ultimately, I'd rather pick out the songs I like and not listen to the whole album. 3.5 stars really.

Not for me

1

Love everything about this.

Possibly even better than I remembered. It probably deserves 5 stars just from the album opener (Gimme Shelter) and closer (You Can't Always Get What You Want) alone. You've heard most of these songs in your favorite Scorsese movies. There's a reason most of these songs continue to score movie soundtracks. This is about as good as it gets. I just love this album. There's plenty of Stones on this list (too many, or too few?), but this is without a doubt one of their essential albums, during that incredible 4-album stretch over 4 years. It may not be my favorite Stones album (that one is still to come), but anyone who claims Let It Bleed is their best album will get no argument from me.

About what I expected. Some good ones I hadn't heard before

Combines so many genres - blues, country, gospel - with rock to produce something unique and interesting. "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always..." are beyond perfection. "Love in Vain" is my favorite ballad which best represents their return to blues, frequently heard throughout the rest of their tracks. Love the "Country Honk" meme. The blues masterpiece "Midnight Rambler" and funky / punkish "Monkey Man" are enough to lift this album beyond the mortal realm. Subject matter is gritty and leaves the audience feeling... bled on?

Arrogant music.

Good. It's the Stones, innit

pretty cool, not at all what i expected

A couple good songs, not my fave

Very nice album. A good mix between classic rock and maybe even country.

It's a 4.5/5, but leans towards a 5/5

Cool, and different. Some famous songs on there so cool to hear the other tracks.

Liked it generally. Rolling Stones is pretty hit or miss with me. They have some stand out songs but a lot of their stuff sounds the same to me.

A classic album that shows The Rolling Stones passion & American blues & country influences. There is a disconnect that comes from Mick's vocals & the twanginess of the music, making it feel like Mick is flat or out of time. Overall it is a fine album, but the vocals on the more country/blues songs could have been cleaner.

Yet another album I've listened to countless times. One of my favorite Stones albums.

Another of the great late 60s/ early 70s Stones albums. Maybe not as great as Sticky Fingers or Exiles but still amazing, with one of the best opener/closer combos ever.

Solid album. Gimme shelter obviously one of the greatest classic rock songs of all time. Midnight rambler another fav

Has some good songs on there a few weak songs just by the first listen entirely but overall enjoyable

Classic, one of my faves

alright

If you're like me and like the rolling stones but not their albums this one is not going to change that. One or 2 tracks are truly the best the stones have to offer but as for the rest, well meh is how they make me feel. 2 stars for 2 good tracks

Already listened to it Very good

undeniably amazing

Two classic songs, “Gimme Shelter” & “You Can’t Always Get What You Want.” Great blues and gospel feels

Pretty solid album from start to finish. I liked most of the songs. I was pleasantly surprised as I'm not much of a Rolling Stones fan.

This has to be one of the best albums to exist, the lyrics are so dark and menacing with the insturmental being upbeat, almost as a distraction. The whole album though has a very real, dark vibe from it.

Josh, bin jetzt nicht der große Fan der Stones, aber irgendwo sind die schon okay. Hier sind keine großen Hits drauf, aber mit Gimme shelter ein Stück, dass gerne und gut gecovert wurde!

entertaining

Gimme Shelter: amazing Love In Vain: very good Country Hook: average Live with me: excellent Let It Bleed: very good Midnight Rambler: good You got the silver: good Monkey man: very good You can’t always get what you want: excellent 7.5/10

Inderdaad, You can't always get what you want, 't is nait aalle doang kovvie mit kouk.

Gimme Shelter is one of the best opening tracks of all time and You Can’t Always Get What You Want is one of the best closers.

this sounds like something my grandma would listen to.

Heard this before. I like it.

It's alright, although I do not like it that much. It's got too much Rock for me.

Solid album. A bit of a country feel.

A feel-good, groovy listen. Not really much into classic rock but this was good.

Very very good.

A perfect exemplification of all the elements that make The Rolling Stones one of the greatest bands in popular music. So deep rooted in blues and Country music but with a twist that still sounds modern and distinctive.

Bookended by two stone cold classics, the Stones try their hand at numerous genres and pretty much nail every one. A classic album in every essence.

Three standout tracks, some mediocre and a couple of fillers. Good album

I'm still only really of the opinion that the Stones are one of the best greatest hits bands. One of the best album openers of all-time and a great closing track but with a collection of middle of the road rock tunes in between. Best track: Gimme Shelter

No es mi estilo, y de Rolling cogería quizás otro, pero tiene al menos un par de hits.

As always with the stones, the hits hit hard, but the deep tracks tend to be very inconsistent.

Gimme shelter best track, also you can’t always get what you want

Good album, definitely doesn't sound like 1969. Gimme Shelter is top 10 tracks of all time. However, the album peaks with track 1 and never hits that height again.

- great slide guitar & harmonica - nice delta blues type sound that I never imagined the Rolling Stones to sound like - ashamed I’ve never heard these before

Excellent stuff, no filler. Imaginative and a couple of still fresh sounding classics

Total classic, part of one of the greatest run of albums of all time

Great album. Some real stand out tracks such as You Can't Always Get What You Want and Monkey Man. Has a very Cream band sound to it.

De lo mejorcito en su momento

Giving the likes of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones a 2.5 average feels wrong, but I didn't like this as much as I thought I would. Might be a little too country for me, but it was still a good listen Saved: Gimme Shelter, You Got The Silver

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Is it blasphemous to call this album meh? I don't really like blues and that's probably why I don't like it all that much. This just wasn't my thing. I really like You Can't Always Get What You Want though, and Gimme Shelter is good if a little overrated.

Classic. Best Tracks: Gimme Shelter, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want.

One of the best RS album ever, hidden gems can be found in here...

Gimmie Shelter starts us off strong and damn is it a fine-ass song. Like, one of the best of it's kind. After that banger of an intro, it reels itself in and stays pretty lackluster for the rest of the album. It kind of makes me wish they had brought the same talent and energy that they did for Gimmie Shelter, which shows us better energy and songwriting overall. The closest it gets to piquing my interest again is Monkey Man and maybe Midnight Rambler. It stays in this low until the very end of the album when it closes with the classic You Can't Always Get What You Want. Guess they were trying to tell me something there.

A mixed bag of an album for me. Some accomplished old school but uninspiring blusey tracks and some classic and brilliant songs with Gimme Shelter being the standout

Gimme Shelter has to be one of the best opening tracks of all time. You Can’t Always Get What You Want is a great closer. I just don’t think that most of the songs are as good as the hits. Monkey Man and Live With Me are also great tracks but I don’t like them quite as much as the opener or closer. It’s a great album but it has a few songs that don’t do much for me. Favorite songs: Gimme Shelter, Live With Me, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man, You Can’t Always Get What You Want Light 8/10

Classic early, bluesy Stones. **** for the opening to Gimee Shelter !

Banging and opening and closing tracks and pretty good in the middle too. Didn’t realise how American some of their stuff sounded

Ken weinig van the rolling stones, maar dit was best een leuk album

Als Beatles fan hoor ik de Stones natuurlijk sowieso ruk te vinden (wat overigens niet het geval is!), maar dit album is toch wel enigszins bevestiging in die richting. Los van het openingsnummer (Gimme Shelter - fantastisch!), en het sluitstuk is hier echt niet veel meer te halen dan gepruttel en bluesy getokkel in de marge.

De nummers die ik nog niet kende vond ik niet zo spannend. Wel een leuke mondharmonica.

You can’t always get what you want. But with this album you really can. Eh? Eh? Eh? A classic album with wall to wall great tunes.probably the best opening few bars of any album ever. Still in their rhythm and blues stage which is probably my favourite period of their career. Love this album.

false

7/10

Brilliant stuff. An album absolutely packed with great songs.

Great lazy breakfast. Some classics and ones I’d never heard which made my ears prick up via great lyrics and choonage. Properly feels like the classics bookended the the middle portion.

Pretty good! It’s an 8 from me.

Either a high 4 or a low 5? Beginning and end was strong but fell off a little in the middle

I really thought this was gonna be The Rolling Stones lp that grabbed me but no it wasn’t…whyyyy did bands do this tongue in cheek Americana bullshit around this time it’s so disingenuous

Better.

Already knew the album very well. Obviously a classic with some of the best known and loved Stones songs on it. Not my favourite Stones album but still 5/5

8. had some good songs

He escuchado muy muy poco de The Rolling Stones y aun así no me esperaba tanto folk aquí. Canción favorita: Midnight Rambler por los cambios de moods escalonados y por veces repentinos. Mood: bailando rock en la granja con sueños de la fama urbana

Enough with The Rolling Stones! The hits are good, the rest bores me.

Äußerst solide.

Zahn der Zeit nagt und beißt auf über soliden Blues Rock Leicht nerven der Gospel background und Jaggers kratzig kratzige Stimme, aber dennoch wächst das Album zum Ende zu voller Größe aus; persönliche Highlights: last 3 songs

Allein schon für den lebenslangen Dauerohrwurm „Cant always get what you want“ satte 5 Sterne.

Würde gern 4,5 geben.

The standard for rock, but nothing flashy until the end

I enjoy Rolling stones much more than I thought before this album.

More ñee than I expected. Too much boring rock and roll harmonies

Some decent songs bookended by fantastic songs. I think if the middle section wasn’t all dragging blues or if Monkey Man wasn’t a song I’d rank it higher. 8

Absolute gem. Among best album openers of all time.

I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this album. So much so that I listened to it twice. Some great music!

7/10 uwu

Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are by far the best/most popular songs on the album but the other songs are alright. 7/10.

enfin d'la musique les stones c'est du blues et j'aime le blues leur durée prouve leur qualité a leur début ce qui m'a plu c'est leur sauvagerie comparé au beatles disons merci les vieux d'etre encore la

Good rock and roll!

No sé muy bien poner en palabras lo emocionado o conmovido o algo parecido que me sentí al escuchar este disco. Sólo he escuchado otro par de The Rolling Stones, pero qué bueno llegar a este. No hubo canción alguna que no me gustara. Todo el sonido, entre rock, blues, country, esas voces, los coros tipo gospel, es de verdad emocionante. Y luego, lo que alcancé a poner atención a las letras, hay de pronto versos tristes, tristes acerca del mundo y sobre todo tristes por decepciones amorosas. Y, con todo, el sonido en general no transmite eso. Son las voces las que modulan más todo. Qué genios, los Rolling Stones <3. 10/10

.

Classic

Heavy on the acoustic guitar throughout. First and last songs are classics but didn't really like anything in between.

Good stuff but nothing that really struck me besides the hits.

I know a lot of these songs on their own but hadn't listened to them as an album. I can see how this would stand out on the 1001 albums list.

Greath

👅 love the stones cuz I love Laura

Great album, it's hard to believe despite all the turmoil the band was going through they were able to produce something this damn good.

Stones near the height of their prowess. An almost overzealous attempt to capture the American blues/folk sound that many (somewhat unfairly) try to claim the Stones appropriated from African Americans. I struggle to make that jump since there are plenty of Appalachian folk influences present here, and the Stones never tried to hide the fact that they were disciples of old, Black bluesman that white audiences chose to ignore. Still, not my favorite band by any stretch, but I cannot deny that Gimme Shelter is an S tier song.

Not my favorite stones album, but it made for an interesting day of rock

classic stones love it

My second favorite Stones album. So good.

Classic. Never listened to the whole thing before. Was not disappointed.

4 ist halt nice

Very good. One of the best Stones albums. Gimme Shelter might be their greatest song. 8-9/10

this was p great

Excellent album

The best Rolling Stones album for sure

It is a five

I hate to say it, but the Stones are slowly growing on me. 3 stars.

Definitely enjoyable. Feels very loose

Pretty good Stones record.

Meh Rolling Stones album Favorites: Gimme Shelter Country Honk You can’t always get what you want

Country Honk, Gimme Shelter

Much more bluesy than I was anticipating. Interesting instrumentation throughout. Gimmie Shelter may be my favorite Stones song of all time.

!!!!

literally forgot how good it was

Fabtastic

Best songs: gimme shelter, love in vain, country honk, you can't always get what you want Worst: let it bleed

Realized I didn't know this as well as I thought. Didn't realize Honky Tonk Woman was more or less an alternate B side, the version of Midnight Rambler I identify with appears to be a live version I couldn't source off the bat looking for it... Other than that, it's classic Stones, amazing if you like that kind of thing (which I do).

Great!

good, some songs were weak

We're so poor omg

A decent fusion of blues, country, and rock - I do think 'Gimme Shelter' promises a wholly different album than the one that follows, but the following tracks are enjoyable for the most part.

A fine album, some familiar songs

Not a huge fan of the stones but this wasn't bad.

Pretty good, but not my favorite Rolling Stones

Good album. Great? meh. 3 stars. While it contains some of their classics, Rolling Stones is pretty "cookie cutter."

blaaaaaa

Was ok, some decent songs however the stones are not really my thing

Great

I used to think there were no good rolling stones albums. I was wrong.

-Never heard Country Honk, that was a cool alternative take. -Best song is Midnight Rambler for sure. -You can't always get what you want does not make sense on this album, just thrown on at the end. Sort of ruins the vibe despite being a good song.

The Rolling Stones made so many songs. Its almost weird to listen in album format... But seeing the context for Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want is interesting. If I died before listening to this I think I would have been OK, but it wasn't bad.

Yup.

great collection of rolling stones songs. would listen again.

Gimme gimme gimme those honky tonk bluuuues

Classic.

Good first and last song. All songs in the middle sound country/blues, unlike the first and last

The peak of the Stones at their bluesiest, but honestly this thing gets 3 of these stars just for Gimme Shelter.

Great Album!

I love 'classic' rock, yet I've never given the Stones an honest, full album listen until today. I loved this, lots of more classic blues-infused tunes, along with some Stones classics I've heard before like 'Gimme Shelter'.

Bluesy and full of great songs from start to finish

What a great album, some classics, some good songs and possibly my favorite song of all time "you can't always get what you want".

First and last songs rule

hab nur drei Lieder davon gehört bevor ich eingeschlafen bin aber war nice und hatte diese ✨history vibes✨

It’s good but for certain moods for me

Great.

Pretty decent loved the title track!!

Cool, especially fun front half. I hate hate hate the choir in the intro of the last song. i thought rolling stones were gonna suck but I guess I'm wrong

false

More honky tonk than I would have thought. Some interesting stuff but not my cup of tea.

I mean, it's The Rolling Stones, right? So much good stuff here. For the most part, The Stones have really aged well (musically, at least - let's not talk about the immortal Mr. Richards) and these tracks are still immensely enjoyable. Really jammy and fun, it feels like they were just having a good time and not taking anything too seriously. Which is odd given the lyrical content of the album, which is often kinda dark. There's an almost punk ethos to it. Kind of a, "things are really gross and ugly so we might as well party" mentality. The result is just a really fun album. I have no negative thoughts, only positive vibes. Full marks.

Klassisker, rock, lidt blues/gospel-vibes

Really carried by the two huge songs, I’m not interested in British faux honkey tonk

Classic

This is among my favorite Stones albums, but not quite up there with Satanic Majesty, Beggars Banquet, Black and Blue and Some Girls. The overall feel of this album is based on a bluesy-rock-country twang that give the Stones what I consider their best sound. 4.5 stars.

Quite the country influenced album. Very good tho. F.T.: Gimme Shelter. Do you even have to ask?? 7/10

1969. Key Songs: Gimme Shelter, Live With Me

It’s a great album, arguably the start of The Stones’ classic era, yet it feels like more than the sum of its parts.

Gimme shelter..

Outstanding, magnificent, fabulous, amaz-

A classic. This is one of the best albums of the 60s.

Solid prime era Stones
