Reviews (page 15 of 15)

I only love The Rolling Stones I grew up listening to with my mum and sister

Some good songs but I really can't stand his voice on the slower songs. It's bad. I would not want to listen to most of these songs again.

It was nice, kinda boring yk, but the first song was good

Sounds like every other album from this time.

Some pretty good songs (the ones you know) surrounding by a bunch of bad blues-y songs that you don’t know for a reason.

gotta agree w ben here (and the other reviews) that thing album has two good songs. opening track and closing track. that’s it

Catchy thieves.

not my thing

I know it's a classic, but Mick's voice sounds awful on this album. It sounds like a parody of a singer.

2 famous songs can’t make up for the rest of that noise.

Rolling Stones. Shmeh.

Have honestly not heard that album before as not a stones fan. Good opening track and a few others drew me in but not sure I'll be wading back in again.

I had high expectations of this album. They were not met. I've heard a handful of Rolling Stones songs in my life, and most of them I really liked. Some I even loved. None of the songs I'd heard are on this album. And after listening, I'd go as far as to say none of the Rolling Stones songs I particularly like are on here. I wouldn't say this was a bad album. But there was nothing that particularly caught my interest in a positive way. I think I prefer their softer stuff, because most of the softer songs I found enjoyable enough. However some songs, especially the rockier ones and that goddamn country song, really made me cringe. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is probably the best song on here. I enjoyed it, and could see it growing on me. The chorus lyrics are simple but powerful. I think, after the classical intro, it was less experimental than I was hoping for, but it was still good. The best thing about this album was that it was short, and I'm not just saying that because I didn't like the album. It's the first album I've gotten so far that isn't overly long, and I really appreciated that. Favourite songs: You Got The Silver, You Can't Always Get What You Want

You know how I feel about the Stones!!! Overrated! There, I said it. I understand their appeal, but I just don't like to listen to more than their typical classic rock hits. This record starts out strong with, "Gimme Shelter", then goes to awful with "Love in Vain"... then the third track - after skipping within 30 seconds to it - had a frickin' fiddle! NOOOOO. "Live With me" - Ok. The Title Song is another mediocre song. Midnight Rambler is better. Ending with You Can't Always Get..." Done. I'll hear the popular cuts on the radio someday, but will not be playing these songs again.

I'm not really sure why this Rolling Stones album is in this list. It starts off as an okay album and degenerates into drivel. The album is coasting entirely off of the Rolling Stones name and I'm disappointed in the creator of the list for including it, especially when the Stones have so many albums and there are so many good albums that didn't make this list. If you're looking to introduce someone to the Rolling Stones, don't start with this album.

boomer rock. I tried to appreciate it, and learn to understand the stones a bit better, but I left with the same impression I came in with; the stones have a groove, and most of their music just stews in it.

I like the country style but this felt not enough

first album so far I go into expecting it to be good as I have listened to Gimme Shelter and Monkey Man a lot prior It changes genre too much but I guess this was good back in the hippie age of "lets just throw random shit in because us junkies wont be cognisant enough to listen to it anyways"

I never really got into the Stones, even after hearing a few of their "best" albums (including this one). I'm just not into the country/blues rock sound that much. It's decent, just not my vibe.

I didn't know there were so many blues heavy tracks on this album and that intrigued me. However, they are all literal filler tracks sandwiched between the two radio hits at each end of the album.

I like Gimme Shelter

I understand that the first and last songs ate incredibly well known and influential. However I shamefully admit that this album wasn’t what I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be hard classic rock but instead we got a mix of country and something else. Maybe I listened wrong or am way off, but I was disappointed!

Strong start with Gimme Shelter, but then went into some sort of Country hoedown that I didn't expect. Not a massive fan of Stones in general, but with wasn't for me.

3(1,4,ult) musicas fixes. O resto do conteúdo parece um bocado básico e dormente. Comecou e fechou bem, o meio é filler para encher palha

Some very nice moments (Love in Vain, Midnight Rambler stand out), but very inconsistent. Country Honk in particular is unnecessary. Teetering between 2 drops of blood or 3, but rounding down, because there's enough material from the Stones already on here. 🩸🩸

I understand why they are popular, but it's too "honky tonk" for me.

This was ok. Not a fan of TS

Pretty dull.

Most of this album is absolutely terrible, but Gimme Shelter and You Can’t Always Get What You Want each get a star because they’re bops.

Great opener and closer. Garbage in the middle.

2nd listen. I’ve listened to all the main Rolling Stones albums and found out that I really don’t like them.

Just don't care for the stones. 2.5

Not my favorite RS album

This is the second of what will surely be too many records on this list from The Rolling Stones. This is a lot better than the first record given to me--"Exile on Mainstreet"--but I just can't get in to this band. There are a couple of well known songs on this that are fine, but also just a lot of blues bar band sounding wankery. No Thanks!

Not a fan of the blues style here.

Unpopular opinion: the Rolling Stones are only "meh"...

everytime i listen to the rolling stones it makes me hate the rolling stones

I hate the style of this album. I hate the piano sound, the southern-type fiddle playing, and the backing vocals. Would definitely be a 1.5 if I could give it that, and I don't quite think I can reasonably give it a 1 so I reluctantly am giving it a 2. It's probably the "worst" 2 I've given though.

The Rolling stones are boring. This album is boring. 2/5.

ug. 2 i think. yea straight people are terrible lol.

Pretty wild how a band called the rolling stones has gathered quite a bit of moss when it comes to being an entertaining listen. I was never a stones fan but as I hear more of their albums I realize that was for the best. They have some good songs in their library, and You Can't Always Get What You Want is one of them, but the rest of these felt like songs I've heard a hundred times already on this list. What was it about these guys that people fell in love with? Maybe their gyrating hips at live shows? We may never know.

I don't really like the Stones. Gimmie Shelter is like all of the backing parts of a song just got fully fleshed out but no song in the middle of it. Country Honk makes me want to die. I am really not in the mood for these clowns this morning. You Can't Always Get What You Want is a great tune. and that is what keeps this album from being a 1 imho.

I just don’t get it, why all the fuss? The music is sloppy.

Ok album, bluesy

p167. 1969. 2 stars Got to be honest, I've never been a fan of the Stones - booze soaked, drug raddled white boy blues rip-offs with a fucking annoying fat lipped gobshite who thinks he is God's gift to women for a front man. The faux blues-country whine he uses on most of this album is really annoying, especially when everyone knows he comes from Dartford. On the plus side they know how to knock out a good tune (Gimme Shelter, Midnight Rambler, though You Can't Always Get What You Want outstays its welcome), and the band is tight - Keith Richards is on form, and Nicky Hopkins and Ian Stewart stand out on every track they are on. At the end of the day it comes over as the so-so efforts of an average white band in it for the chicks.

Surprisingly dull.

2 overplayed tracks with a bunch of filler. 2/5

Those guys dont catch me that much, at least yet. However, Gimme shelter is a nice song.

2 good songs

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.

"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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Country Honk, Gimme Shelter

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

I just don't get the hype. Nothing about this so-called "critically acclaimed" band piques my interest.

I do not like them. Not a single record works.

All the tracks are seems same to me :( sorry

No me gusto mucho porque no es mi estilo

Please let this album bleed, let it bleed out and die. This is my second full Rolling Stone’s album. I was expecting something different than the hot pile of shit that is Exile On Main Street, but I guess Jagger and the boys like to keep things consistent. Most of the time it seems like they aren’t even trying to write good songs or perform them well. I guess they were so famous at this point that they knew their audience would buy whatever sloppy collection of bullshit songs they released. Damn Rolling Stones, put down the needle and listen to the Beatles.

Nope. Not for me. Amazing book end songs, not a fun album listening experience.

Hard listen

favs: gimme shelter midnight rambler you can’t always get what you want rating 1.5/5

Everyone knows I have always hated the Rolling Stones, mostly because the songs I do hear are the same ones over and over, and they suck. So here I go about to embark and listen to my first ever whole album session - I tried - really, but every song I have heard in ten different movies, and not one I'd ever request on purpose - ever

бля радио "белый лебедь" с большим удовольствием слушается, чем эти ваши альбомы. ну я хз ужас какой-то, я не могу это слушать

I like rock, I like blues, I like raw minimalism, and I hate the Rolling Stones. Gimme Shelter was shit, and every time something worthwhile is nearly achieved, they manage to ruin it in one way or another.

Midnight Rambler aside, the only thing I'm letting (unfortunately) bleed is my ears. 1/5

Do not like.

I hate the "Can't always get what you want" song

Rubbish

i never liked this band, not for me 1/5

Why do so many "classic rock" bands have so many goddamn country songs...

Rating: 1.0 There is not a single song worth listening to on this album that isn’t already in Target commercials. Another sleep-inducing twangfest.

I didn't listen to a Rolling Stone a lot. So it is basically my first full listen of that album and I liked the start of the album with Gimme shelter but after that album became boring even rock'n'roll parts aren't catchy they're just bland. Fav Tracks Gimme Shelter 1/5

Afgezet.

Very controversial but I don’t think Rolling Stones are any good. Listened to their first 5 albums and gave up some alright songs but no not a fan. At best just as Asda T-shirt band. Pressed 1 star should have been did not listen.

I have no idea why the rolling stones are considered to be so great. Jagger can't sing.

Fuck rating albums. Just let me listen.

Just a copy of primal scream! Why bother?!

Boring

Ushshhshhhshhhhhh. This is definitely not my thing. Bad.

This one was boring. It's two songs on it that are okay, but I don't like Vietnam War draft dodging theme music. As soon as I hear a fiddle on a song from British people, i'm out.

makes me realize how much music there is in the world that i don't like

Brits trying to be yanks... How sordid

Oh joy, more Rolling Stones. Once again I am left feeling absolutely nothing from it. I've tried so hard to appreciate them but no dice. This album ranges from uninteresting to actively obnoxious.

Another mess from the Rotting Stones. I can't believe these guys are supposed to be legends with songs like these.

not my cup of tea

Let it bleed? More like Make Me Bleed

Day 18 - June 19th, 2024 The only good thing about this album was Gimme Shelter. 1/5

Awful band

already tried to listen to it before and it was so bad that i couldn't get through the whole thing

1. gimme zhelter - 1.5 2. love in vain - 1 3. country honk - 1.5 4. live uuith me - 1 5. let it bleed - 1 6. rambler - 1 7. zilver - 0 8. monkey man - 0 9. uuhat you uuant - 1.5

Pandora wouldn't play this selection. Fine with me. Would've been 1 star anyway cos the Stones fuckin suck

first listen, don’t think I’m in the space to really care for this project right now. I did enjoy the last song, which was the only song I’d heard from it before

Not a fan

Nö - nichts für mich

As if I needed further proof that the Stones suck. Shitty vocals. Bad sounding simplistic guitar work. Terrible songs. Except for a few good songs in the mid 1960s, the stones have ALWAYS been bad. What a waste of music listening time. A must hear?!? Give me a break. Pure crap.

Never liked the stones. Not gonna start listening to them now. Automatic 1 star.

Never been a fan of The Rolling Stones. This one didn't change my mind.

pas ouf c'est un genre de musique de fond que tu mets quand tu roules aux états unis quoi le cliché des films mais y'a aucun son qui est sorti du lot et qui m'a fait arrêter quoi que ce soit.

I don't like the Rolling Stones

awful, maybe you had to be there or something

Making fun of the Beatles is NEVER OK

Not a fan, a bit on the country twang side. Best song is You Can't Always get what you want.

Didn't like it at all. The country inspiration is way too strong for me.

overrated!!!

1. Starker Opening Track 2. Gute Gitarrenriff aber idk wegen dem Rest 3. Baller Redneck Fiddle aber die Stimmen sind nicht meins 4. Abgebrochen. Nicht meins.

Didn't like the last Stones album, and this felt the same.

Nope, listened to this way to much

What a disappointing album. Expected a lot more with all the hype the Stones get, but I can’t help but think of the other rock giants at the time and how many miles ahead they were. 3/10.

Tired of Stones, overrated

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

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

this sounds like something my grandma would listen to.
