Let It Bleed

I like this record a lot. Gimme Shelter is such a great opening track. Prob the album I gravitate towards the most.

My favourite part was the bit where he screamed 'I'm a monkeeeeeyy' because I love monkeys

Easy 5. Opens with one of the best songs ever. Then classic Stones tune after classic Stones tune. Blues. Country. Rock. Closes out with one of the all time great rock anthems.

Album 235 of 1001 The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed Rating : 5 / 5 Favorite Tracks: Gimme Shelter / You Can't Always Get What You Want This albums starts off as an A+ and ends the same. Some bluesy Rolling Stones. Can't beat it. This vinyl belongs on my shelf.

Let It Bleed: the Rolling Stones' sonic masterpiece that bleeds raw energy, timeless lyrics, and Mick Jagger's vocals that age like a fine rock 'n' roll vintage. If albums could wear leather jackets, this one would have a permanent spot in the Hall of Cool."

Pure classic!

Some classics from the Stones here, and a great short album to boot. Doesn't overstay it's welcome.

Yep, one of their (and arguably, the actual) best albums. Containing 3 of their (and arguably their actual) greatest ever song(s). Nothing to be said about Gimme Shelter. Menacing. I forgot about the country version of Honky Tonk Women here, entertaining. The title track is great fun. I've never quite got on with the Midnight Rambler though, I know it's always been a live favourite, and it's good fun, but for me the studio recording stalls just when it's threatening to take off into some kind of krautrock banger. Still, you can't always get what you want.

Simply a great album. Every track is a classic.

Objectively, I don't think I consider this one a 5. Maybe somewhere between a 4 and a 4.5? But then 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' rolls in and I hear the choir and, boy, it's a 5.

Such a relief to hear these rich opening bars after the last shite LP I endured. So here goes, my first listen to this. ‘Gimme Shelter’ seems to grow and grow on me as I age, like a fine wine. Track 2 is lazy blues, looks like it’s a cover but some of the best blues I’ve ever heard. The instrumentation and production is very rich on this LP. I’ve never really got the Rolling Stones but this is making sense. ‘Country Honk’ I do know, country music recorded in a bar, really good. The drums on ‘Live With Me’ have been copy & pasted by Reni out of Stone Roses for Resurrection, I never knew that, a lovely credit that. Can also hear Happy Mondays in this. This is the Stones like I’ve always imagined them sounding, always wanted them to sound but never found. Love the way the instruments are given equal balance in the mix to Jagger’s vocals & he gives plenty of space for the music to breathe. I’ve been looking for an accessible Stones LP & think this is it. The sound of the studio really comes through, without knowing any of the background it’s the sound of a band confident relaxed happy having fun jamming nothing to prove. It’s mellow warm and rich like eg. ska music, good drinking music. Country blues and country rock is a good description. The album finishes or is ‘bookmarked’ with You Can’t Always Get What You Want which solidifies it a rare first listen 5 star LP for me.

What a great record. Besides beggars banquet this is one of my favourites.

One of my favourites. Been wondering where they have been.

Awesome rock.l

This could possibly be my favorite Stones record. Not a single skip and several powerhouse tracks. Great vocals and instrumentation from the usual suspects, but also stellar guest appearances all throughout the record. Lyrically, they might be at their best here, as well. There’s solid range and I, frankly, have not a bad thing to say about it. This album can cream all over me any day. 5/5

Juste parfait

Un album fantastique aux sources du rock'n'roll. Le mélange de rock, blues et country est tout simplement parfait. À écouter encore et encore.

I’ll take any excuse to listen to the stones.

This is such a masterpiece. Two of my favorite Rolling Stones songs are here, and this has such a nice mix of blues and hillbilly music to round out the crunchy rock songs.

Classic 80s rock but still tasteful

Stones at their absolute best

Classic- many textures

amazing album ofc!!!!!! gimme shelter and you got the silver are truly 10/10 perfect songs. was hesitating on whether or not to give this a full 5 but hey what the heck

gimme shelter and you can't always get what you want. some of the songs of ALL time PERIODDDDD. i don't really care that the middle of the album is more forgettable. it's fine and i always liked most of them anyway like fuck yes keep doing that honky tonk shit

I’m a weak, weak man; I am my father’s son. have to say the album gets better for me as we go down the tracklist thought so gimme shelter is not my peak.

One of my very first favorite albums since I was a kid. Insanely good. Only wish that Country Honk were replaced by Honky Tonk Women but it’s fine. It’s just hit after hit after hit. What can I even say!!!!!! Excited to see what you guys thought if it was your first time listening :O

Feel like a very strong drugs and a splendid, fancy house, there is a party going on, btw the cover of the album is really cute!

Damn, this is an excellent album. It's diverse, well-planned, great hits and fun B-Sides. Excellent!

Deze is wel fijn hoor. Ik ken The Rolling Stones niet zo als albumband, ik ken de hits wel natuurlijk maar luister eigenlijk nooit de albums. Maar deze is wel leuk, Gimme Shelter is natuurlijk super, en verder is het leuke Southern / Country Rock a la Canned Heat, én lekkere blues. Met You Can't Always Get What You Want erbij is het genoeg voor 5 sterren.

Super

Phenomenal

Bookended by two classic songs, very much the Stones just getting loose and letting the blues come out to play.

Favorite Stones

Classic for a reason

Cold stone classic. Excellence.

I remember where I was, who was there, the temperature, where the sun was on its journey through the universe the first time I heard Let it Bleed.

Venga, 5. You Can't Always Get What You Want

This is my favorite Rolling Stones album, and ‘Gimme Shelter’ is my favorite Rolling Stones song; it just has so much apocalyptic energy and Merry Clayton’s vocals are absolutely insane. The rest of the album is no slouch, either; the title track is fun, ‘Midnight Rambler’ jams, and, while I’m not as much of a fan as most, ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ is a great closer. In conclusion, a great album.

Major rock milestone.

an astonishing alignment of talent, culture, and commerce, it’s just too bad it’s completely possessed by the demonic energy of the 60s

Classic album. The kings of bluesy rock

i already know and love this album. although not my favorite stones album this one contains some of their most rock and roll tunes. it obsviously has 2 main tracks that stand out, but in my opinion the other 7 songs are really good too. some really beautiful ballads too, love in vain, you got the silver. i personally love this guys ballads. my favorite tracks are the nasty live with me and let it bleed. midnight rambler is one hell of a trip too.

great

Brilliant! Starting an album with Gimme Shelter and ending with You Can't Always Get What You Want makes for a hell of a sandwich. There's not really a bad or out-of-place song on it. As well as the bookends, other highlights include "Monkey Man", "Midnight Rambler" and "Country Honk" (a country version of Honky Tonk Women).

Still prefer the original to this cover of Love in Vain & noone covers RJ quite like Clapton of course. Midnight Rambler - The stones really building a strong son on their blues influences. Love the tempo changes. Great harmonica work. Monkey Man - more blues. Good. Nice tip of the hat to Robert Johnson with the line about lemon squeezer. You Can't Always Get What You Want - a far better song than some of the things its been used for

Classic.

Gimme Shelter is just an automatic 5 stars even if the rest of the album had been Mick breaking wind into a set of bagpipes for 30mins. BUT you get Midnight Rambler as well along with a variety of "white men play dirty blues" tracks

i know the first and last tracks on this one but none in between. busy tuesday so this will be nice. country honk was a fun version

Great stones album. Mostly hits, nose skips

You can't blame this album for not being Exile. That alone cannot make it a 4. The Mick Taylor era of the Stones is not the peak Stones necessarily, not even the most Stones... but it is them being the best at what they do best. Even if it's doing something everyone else was also doing at the time. It kinda makes it more impressive, really.

P fucking good

Amazing. Two of the greatest rock and roll songs are on this album, a whole new genre spawned, and single performances that will last lifetimes. Stones' finest.

Brani Preferiti: - "Gimme Shelter" - "Love in Vain" - "Let It Bleed" - "Monkey Man" - "You Can't Always Get What You Want" Note: Un album degli Stones che ho ascoltato dall'inizio alla fine con grande piacere, a differenza di molti altri che hanno giusto qualche canzone che spicca dal resto.

The Stones coming hard in the middle of their most productive and best period. Not a bad song on the whole album. "You Can't Always Get" is so good, even though it has been endlessly played. "Midnight Rambler" has always been a favorite of mine with shifting tempos and a "make it up as you go along" vibe. Great stuff.

One of the very best. Brian Jones was mostly absent from this album but Mick Taylor had not really entered the fray completely. This is a Jagger/Richards masterpiece through and through. Bookended by 2 of rock’s greatest songs, with perfect country rock and rock n’ roll in the middle. Takes a lot to execute a cover of a song from the 1930s too. The run of Midnight Rambler to the end of the album is too good. I’d rather listen to Exile, but this is their best album.

As someone who has listened to every Stones album up until Tattoo You, I think this is their best contribution to music hands down Gimme Shelter and You Can’t Always Get What You Want is probably one of the greatest opening and closing track pairs in all of music The lyrics on here are also some of their best (“I was dreaming of a steel guitar engagement/When you drunk my health in scented jasmine tea” is one of my absolute favourite Stones lyrics) I also think this album has some of Mick’s best vocal performances too Favourite tracks: Gimme Shelter, Love in Vain, Let it Bleed, Midnight Rambler Monkey Man, You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Sometimes overshadowed by Exile and Sticky Fingers, Let it Bleed is just as much of a Stones classic. Although ultimately ubiquitous through use in various films and shows, Gimme Shelter and You Can’t Always Get What You Want are two of the Stones best songs, and probably top 50 greatest rock songs ever. But that’s not why I come back. I come back for the acoustic ballad Love in Vain, the rascally title track, the roadhouse boogie of Midnight Rambler, and the funky groove of Monkey Man.

4.5/5 for me

Dang! The Stones do it all on this record: rock, blues and even a little country. Awesome album! Of course, you have "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" but my favorite is "Midnight Rambler".

Great record and one I have on vinyl

Perhaps the most credible of their articulations of white bluesiness and countrified weirdness—they seem on this record to have more convincingly believed anyway in what they were doing. The clarion call of Gimme Shelter (the background singer – Merry Clayout – should be credited, her name much better known). The simple and lovely stillness of “Love in Vain,” its desolation amplified by the clear production and engineering or remastering (2011). “Midnight Rambler” makes more sense now than when one was a kid, the chugging absurdity of the story, reminds that rock lyrics ain’t literature, as fancifully as one once might have wished they were (the disconnect between “I’ve got nasty habits / I take tea at 3” being Exhibit A). “Monkey Man” was scary when one was a kid worried about one’s ability to handle drugs and not wanting to look or feel as ragged and ugly as that song sounded. And the transition to “Can’t Always Get” … one supposes it’s most like going to church on Sunday morning after a particularly debauched and shameless (by which one means shameful) Saturday night – the best type of hymn and perhapst most traditional type, too. The simplicity of the lyric struck is probably is just about as good as rock can do, and relative to this particular message (dead true). A elegy for the end of a decade? If so, it's fitting for being both wizened and chastened, at once accepting and uplifting.

I feel like giving this less than 5 stars would just be disingenuous. This album includes some of the Stones‘ most played out songs and I’m pretty sure I heard You Can’t Always Get What You Want in a BK commercial or something, but strip all of that away and these songs still hold up. This album is a classic.

Another classic by a band I wasn't a fan of during the time this came out. I was a Beatles fan. Over the years I have grown to appreciate the Rolling Stones.

1) Gimme Shelter is Gimme Shelter, nothing more needs to be said. 2) Love is Vain is a beautiful song and listening to it while on a train was cool. 3) Country Honk is an improvement on Honky Tonk Women, love what they did with that. 4) Live With Me is great jam. These guys are so expressive and play their hearts out and it's great to see. 5) Let It Bleed has the great lean on line and the pianos really stand out here. Love the texture they add to the mix on this. 6) Midnight Rambler is bluesy and that harmonica in the mix is so great. The guitars too give it a distinct feel. 7) You Got The Silver is really a nice little acoustic song. The electric swirls really add to it. 8) Monkey Man is a cool, bluesy track. 9) You Can't Always Get What You Want is the lesson we all must learn

Finally, a good album.

My favourite Rolling Stones album when I was younger mainly because of Gimme Shelter and You can’t always get what you want. Probably overtaken by other albums but still a classic album.

One heck of an album, opening with one of my all-time favorite Stones tunes. The mix of blues and rock is representative of their best run of albums during this period. Not to mention the ridiculously good backing vocals.

Un increíble álbum de rock. Con interpretaciones sorprendentes, composiciones inteligentes, letras afiladas y una producción sumamente apropiada para reflejar la increíble energía de los Stones como banda. La conversación entre instrumentos, los arreglos de guitarra, piano y teclado, crean un indispensable del catálogo inglés de rock sesentero.

One of the all-time great albums and the second in the greatest four-album run in rock history.

Perfect

Banger hele veien

Flawless

Spoiler alert! All Stones album get 5 stars. They are one of the foundational bricks of the church of Rock-and-Roll.

omg its the song used by house

A classic from the Stone's unimpeachable 1968-1972 four-album run.

My favorite Rolling Stones record. And it would take that spot even without Gimme Shilter. The band named for the blues never did their own brand of blues is so well. And LOVE the percussion on this record. It’s just some of the best drumming I’ve ever heard. You Can’t Always Get What You Want is a victory lap.

Fav stones album growing up!

best album ever made

Super

I’ve heard most of these songs, but never in order. Good album

Maybe their best? I don't know.

classic stones album

najbolji album roilling stonesa, a i među najjačima iz '60

7th June 2023 Listened in the office and finished while working from home the next day. Went to see Oklahoma in the evening which was incredible. This album has everything. Sleaze, drawl, dark blues riffs, upbeat country tunes, it’s pure Stones.

Good album

Un de leur meilleur album, super cool pis tout

Gimme shelter. That apocalyptic dervish of destruction. If the rest of the album had been twinkle twinkle little star played half in G# and half in A and half in 3/4 and half in 4/4 that track alone would give the album five stars from me. And yet here’s the rest of it. A stunning collection of songs from the second (I think) of the greatest run of albums of all time. Beggars, this, through to Exile. Jagger Richards were a slow burn. Unlike Dylan, Lennon McCartney and Brian Wilson who made massive strides in songwriting in 18 months to two years, the stones take a little longer to reach greatness. Sure they wrote satisfaction. And some really fine stuff. But mick Taylor and gram parsons unlock the quintessential Stones sound. And as great as that early period can be (Have you seen your mother, baby, standing in the shadows?’ Or Paint it black or she’s a rainbow or dozens of others are truly great.). But the swagger, thanks to country music and blues makes the stones. The Stones swing. Individually they’re ok. (Charlie being the only one who approaches virtuosity.). But together unbeatable. After the phoney, shallow pretensions of The Doors, this is the palate cleanser we need. You want edge? Jagger delivers in spades. You want rock and roll attitude? Keith gives us the template. What other band would write about serial killers, drug use, the end of the world and end it with a jaded world weary understanding of what one can and can’t have? Tons have emulated the model. Few have equalled it. None have bettered it.

And again. They pull off doing blues and never admitting the ruse... First and last tracks blow it out of the water. Really music defining. I've greatly enjoyed the Stones through the last few decades. This album captures much of what I like. Grandstanding pouty confident grinding big blues with a mix of unexpected tenderness , whimsy, as that contagious & rythmic. Sounds convincingly gritty at times depsite the blues premise... they pulled it off - showmen. And they just got better, and better. but kind of I comprehensible at times. As is life. More.

The second chapter, after Beggars, in their brilliant four album run that made them "The Stones". We are a long way from Their Satanic Majesties Toto. The introduction of Mick Taylor give them the blues flourish they needed post 1968, and that is no disrespect to Brian either, after he's brilliant work on Beggars. But Taylor does the things Keith needs and sound is forever changed as a result. They are a great covers band, and Love in Vain is fantastic, I'll bet Eric was jealous. Gimme Shelter just howls, Mick in his pomp with a vicious hard slinging performance, and with Merry Clayton screaming her way to a miscarriage (literally). Ditto Midnight Rambler, this is a mean dark record. Country Honk is superb and I prefer it over the single and I love You've Got the Silver (nice bit of autoharp by Brian before he Dimeryed) although the subsequent release of the version sung by Mick has diminished Keith's slurred version a tad. If we were trying to explain the phenomena that is the Stones to a first time listener I'd go with this album, it is that good.

Between November ‘68 and March ‘69 I had to find work while I waited to start my illustrious public service career. I did a week digging ditches at the Shell Oil Refinery. They sacked me. Before that I worked in a factory operating a machine that wound Scotch sticky tape onto spools until the work ran out. But it was the first of my jobs that I remember fondly - working on the process line at the Victa Mower Factory in Milperra. And what a factory - it was the size of a football field. The idea was that the line was constantly moving. I was part of that line, standing in front of a huge vat of paint (usually green), inside a rectangular room. The line came in a window at one end carrying mower parts, dipped down into the vat then rose up and out the window at the other end. My job? To stop the parts from catching on the sides of the vat. Because if that happened, the line might have to stop moving, which just wasn’t on. I reckon at least half the workers there were European migrants, many with not much English. Not that it mattered in that factory, because the noise was almost deafening. So loud, in fact that I spent my time singing at the top of my voice, because no-one was ever gonna hear me. And for some reason my 2 favourite songs to crucify were both Stones songs - No Expectations, off their 1968 l.p. Beggars Banquet and You Got the Silver, off Let It Bleed. I still cannot play either song without joining in. The rare thing about You Got The Silver is that Keith Richards makes his debut as lead singer. The album was recorded between February & October 1969. In that year, the band sacked Brian Jones, who drowned in his swimming pool a month later; they held a free concert in Hyde Park for between 1/4 & 1/2 million people to commemorate Brian and introduce Mick Taylor; they missed Woodstock but went on a hugely successful American tour; and ended the tour with the disastrous free concert at Altamont in front of 300,000. In the wider world, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jnr were assassinated, the Vietcong launched the Tet Offensive and the Russians marched into Prague. Some year. Just as on Beggars Banquet, Keith had to play lead guitar because Brian was incapable and Keith laid down most of the tracks before Mick taylor joined. He does a great job. Jagger is in great voice. He shares the lead vocals on the opening track, the raucous Gimme Shelter, with Merry Clayton, who recounts the experience in the film “20 Feet From Stardom” - how she was pregnant, asleep, it was midnight & she got a call to go to the studio to do that song. She knew nothing about the band. She sang the famous “Rape, Murder” lines. She did it in 3 takes, left the studio & had a miscarriage. The film released in 1970 about the tour & Altamont was called “Gimme Shelter”. Mick and Keith wrote all the songs except for Love In Vain, which was written by the legendary Robert Johnson. Honky Tonk Women had already been released earlier in the year as a single so on this album they did a countrified version of the song & called it Country Honk. The first side ends with the title song, another country-flavoured song and featuring a great Jagger vocal. Side 2 opens and closes with the longest tracks on the album. It opens with Midnight Rambler, a 7-minute blues belter that features some great harmonica by Jagger. The juxtaposition with the slow country blues of You Got The Silver, which follows, is so clever. The album ends with the 7 & 1/2 minute-long You Can’t Always Get What You Want. The original sounds as good today as it did 50 years ago. The song opens with the London Bach Choir, and then a french horn intro is played by Al Kooper - remember Al? - the guy who played the organ intro on Dylan’s Like a Rolling Stone. Charlie gave the drums over to producer Jimmy Miller because he coudn’t “get the groove”. And Jagger’s vocal is terrific. As Steve Van Zandt has claimed, the greatest ever 4-consecutive-album run is The Rolling Stones on Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers & Exile On Main Street. Might be something to that.

In my first share house, this album was constantly on the turntable. It was a favourite in that house, and, as a result, is probably the Stones album I know and love the best. It's got a cool, slightly menacing vibe. They had only recently really discovered their greatness (on the Beggar's Banquet album), and this album is confident, fantastically arranged and played (with nearly all guitar playing by Keef). I occasionally dabble with other albums, but truth be told, this is my favourite Stones record, and the one I would recommend to someone who asked me where they should start listening.

Fantastic, peak Stones.

Trop classique. Un des meilleur sinon le meilleur des stones avec sticky fingers et beggars banquet 5

Vintage, so totally Stones. A must have for any serious collection.

No filler from the dinosaurs here

Really wish they put the the single version of Honky Tonk Women instead of the country version on here, but a flawless record nonetheless, bookended by two absolute monsters.

It's been more than 50 years, and tracks such as "Gimme Shelter" still rock! Wow. Let's switch "Country Honk" to "Honky Tonk Women" - it's much better.

The best Stones album by far

The opener catapults this to the royal leagues. I was pleasantly surprised that my earlier impression of a record heavy with filler was wrong (I ought to return to ‘Exile…’); only ‘Love in Vain’ has little for me, five of the songs I love, and the rest is pretty to very good. The Brian Jones bye-bye, he’s here like Banquo’s ghost with bongos.

The one Stones album I really consider essential, if not actually my favorite. The first half is perfectly sleazy, with Country Honk and the title track especially cementing my case for the Stones as the ultimate dive bar band. You Got The Silver is the purest distillation of their sound at the time (even with Keef doing the singing) and it's book-ended by a pair of classics. Excellent stuff

7/9, 78%

Definitely a top3 album in the Stones catalogue

Own on Vinyl

Classic

O álbum é habilmente construído para expressar a potência do rock que se confirmou como clássico, com a sequência é icônica ao iniciar com "Gimme Shelter" e finalizar com "You Can't Always Get What You Want", o álbum é um retrato sonoro intenso, poético e visceral da cultura do final dos anos 60.

Keith Richards once licked the back of my ball sack when we were enjoying a gang bang with a few of the girls from the factory. His tongue felt rough and dry, but it wasn't unpleasant. To show my appreciation, I shot my load all over his neck. The girls went wild for it and were frothing so much that the room began to resemble the video to 'It's Only Rock n Roll (but I like it)'. Poor Keith slipped over and did some real damage to his back. The Stones were forced to delay their UK tour by a few weeks whilst he recovered. How we laughed.

Wow! Great album! live with me was my favorite.

Appearing for me soon after Beggars Banquet, this album was another that I've listened to many times and never tire of. Expanding the sound of the Stones beyond Nicky Hopkins to a range of musicians who would collaborate with them (in some cases for decades) in the future. And as the door closes on Brian Jones, in steps Mick Taylor. As with its predecessor, I cannot understand anyone giving this album less than 4 stars, and its 5 from me.

The Stones were at their best stretching themselves out over sleazy, scuzzy tracks with a basis in blues and country music, perfectly exemplified on Let It Bleed. Midnight Rambler pulses with menace. Country Honk is a great reworking of an already cool tune. Live With Me is choppy and loose. Gimme Shelter is one of the best rock songs of its era. An all-timer? It needs to be considered in the conversation. A stunning collection of songs by a band firing on all cylinders in terms of vigour, delivery and creativity.

Disco blusero de los inicios de los Stones. Vinilo.

Venga, 5. You Can't Always Get What You Want

10/10 one of the Rolling Stones’ best

I love it! It was amaizing!

I asked for the Stones' compilation Forty Licks for Christmas and my birthday for two years, and never got it. Then, one Christmas, I received their Four Flicks concert DVD (I did watch some of it, and my 19 year-old jaw about hit the floor when I saw them play "Honky Tonk Woman" while an animation of topless woman riding the tongue logo was blasting across the screen). I had to wait another two months for my birthday, before I was finally able to get what I wanted (ironically, "You Can't Always Get What You Want" was the main reason I wanted this compilation, as it wasn't on the "Through the Past Darkly" compilation that we had when I was growing up). My parents were big Rolling Stones fans when I was a kid (they took my older cousin to go see a concert film of theirs that was playing on an IMAX screen), so I'm very familiar with the popular songs in their catalog. However, this is my first time listening to one of their albums from start to finish. The album's lead track, "Gimme Shelter" is one of rock's best songs. Its simple, yet precise drumming is the perfect backing for the slowburn guitar intro, poignant lyrics, and Merry Clayton's superb backing vocals. The album then launches into the Stones' bluesiest songs, which they execute well, without coming across as cheesy or disingenuous (the same can't be said for Derek and The Dominos). "Country Honk" and "Midnight Rambler" show how well the Stones can perform outside of generic rock music. As if the album couldn't get any better, they close it out with the magnificent "You Can't Always Get What You Want." The choir's falsetto sets the perfect tone, as the song gets off to a bluesy start, before the jangly piano and upbeat percussion carry the album off into the sunset. For my first full Stones album, I couldn't have asked for anything better. I can't wait to be assigned more of their catalog later on.

literally just was thinking about it and checked email FML 🤦🏽‍♂️ i’ll be better next time

Really liked this album. Only recognized like 2-3 songs but the rest were awesome

Well that was great.

Fantastic album. My favorite stones and one of the best of all time

Kneiter, geen slecht nummer

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore To get your prescription filled I was standing in line with Mr. Jimi And, man, did he look pretty ill We decided that we would have a soda My favorite flavor, cherry red I sung my song to Mr. Jimi Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "death" I said to him You can't always get what you want Amazing album on so many levels. The tracks are all top 10 stuff. The theme is so solid, so profoundly sympathetic to the death of an entire generation of hippy asshole optimists. 5/5

Yeah yeah.

classico stones com algumas das melhores musicas deles, rock and roll e blues no nivel mais selvagem que os ingleses são capazes de reproduzir.

goot sheit

"Gimme Shelter" is one of the best songs of all time and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is not far behind. The deeper cuts are a mixed bag (not exactly sure what the point of "Country Honk" was), but they are good enough to make this a classic. 4.5 stars

I was a little worried this was gonna be like sticky fingers, with two great songs and the rest nothing special, but even the ones I don't really know turned out to be bangers

You really get a sense of the Blues roots of the Stones listening to this. I'm familiar with most of the songs on this album which was a surprise. Many albums contain "album tracks", tracks that are nothing special, there purpose is merely padding. None here. Great album!

Yeahhy

Excellent

The Stones perfected their craft when they decided to ditch the psychedelic sound of the late mid to late 60s for blues and hard rock. I love this record, it is perfect in every way.

Classic, no idea how it could possibly be improved. Any collection that starts with Gimme Shelter and ends with You Can't Always Get What You Want, and doesn't drop off a cliff in between, is alright by me!

Classic all the way.

This is the best Rolling Stones album of all! And..."Gimme Shelter"... Probably the BEST song and MY favorite song ever recorded by the Rolling Stones. It's unique and has a eerie feel to it. And Merry Clayton, my god, she's wonderful, what a voice!

Love. Old bluesy Stones is the best.

Loved it.

Classic from the first note, with epoch-defining opening and closing cuts, and multiple other gems along the way. Leaving aside notions of cultural appropriation, this is Stones at their most credibly bluesy; they believe in what they're doing and doing it with great effectiveness and, in some places, legit pathos. Excellent throughout.

As someone who is a Rolling Stones hater, I was pleasantly surprised by this album. It covers rock, folk, and country rock.

Nice

Probably my favorite Stones album from this period, "Gimme Shelter" alone elevates this to classic status.

Крутая обложка, охуенный кантри-рок звук и не одной проходной песни. Не смотря на возраст пластинки, энергия тут бешенная. Шедевр британской музыки. Послушал в ночь с воскресенья на понедельник, хотя кто-то скажет, что лучше бы я спал. Но я доволен. 5/5.

I mean this is close to the highest great of American music that I can think of. Every damn song is a masterpiece. Git it, Mic!! I did notice how extremely ahead of its time Monkey Man is with that crisp and delicate piano. What a great intro! A surprise every time. You Can't Always Get What You Want. The lovely choir and the bittersweet message for me, because what if you can't get what you need either.. I dipped into this album deeply in grad school as my good friend, Dana, the half mad genius bartender at Pat O's in the French Quarter only wanted to hear the Stones. So we played it and played and lolled around the FQ for many a long night of admiring the scenery and the night blooming jasmine. Good days in NOLA with the Stones, and this album for a lot of it.

I feel a little guilty giving the RS another 5, but damn, I really like love this one too...

I enjoyed this listen. Several big time classics and even the B-sides were awesome. I listened to this album twice while stringing outside Christmas lights.

I have always enjoyed their famous singles, but it took me a loooooooong time to appreciate the classic Stones albums for what they are (from *Beggars Banquet* to *Exile On Main Street*) Things finally clicked when I stopped looking for obvious hit melodies and paid a little attention to all the wonderful sleazy details. Things like Richard's almost off-hand sense of rhythm putting its own perverse twist of the already perverse blues cuts infesting this this record. Jagger's many lurid inflexions and endearing little flaws adding their own sense of perversion. The meticulously crafted build-ups the more fleshed out tracks often go to. There are great moody, moody stuff like this everywhere in *Let It Bleed*. A few years before, I could only hear a bunch of British guys trying to mimick their own American blues and country idols. What I didn't get is that this partial travesty is what actually makes this record (and the one before, *Beggar's Banquet*) so enticing. And it's all conveyed through those sort of artful and yet very *human* key details. So yeah, of course, there are fantastic opener and closer "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" (the irony of that fake angelic choir on that one gets me every time). If only for those two songs, you could give this record a 4/5 or 5/5 grade. But then you also have slow scorchers "Midnight Rambler", "Let It Bleed" and "Monkey Man". And boy do they scorch, if someone gets my obfuscated meaning here--the latter, especially, with its terrific combination of Bill Wyman's groovy bassline and vibraphones flourishes--phasing in and out of major and minor chords as if an ominous veil were covering the full moon... If I had to be picky, I could say that I would have preffered the original single version of "Honky Tonk Women" to have appeared in the tracklisting, instead of the country parody of it here taking its place on the first side. But that barebones version is still a lot of fun, I have to admit... And maybe including its later "rock" version so soon would have messed up the sense of gradual build-up this LP is actually built on... To put it in a nutshell, this is a legendary album made by a legendary band--both fun and aptly thought-out. What more can you ask for, really? Number of albums left to review: 728 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 134 (including this one) Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 65 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): 74

Another album I already love! My favourite songs are Gimme Shelter — just a classic in my opinion; Live With Me — I love the intro and the bass throughout the song; Monkey Man — I love the melody and the 'Bond-esque' intro, also, I live for the little hints of piano in the music break; and You Can't Always Get What You Want — a good sing-along song with a very catchy tune, love the choir in the intro, another classic.

A solid, obvious 5. Best song Gimme Shelter. What a boring review

A great album! It gets me quite hyped, there is such great variety with twists and turns in the sound. Gimme Shelter is such a cracking opener and a really nostalgic sound to me, it makes me think something epic is about to happen. I feel like it has been often used at those moments in films when something is about to kick off haha. Country Honk/Honky Tonk Women is such a tune. Peak 60s rock combined with country/gospel vibes, right up my street. Not a boring moment in the album.

Really good stuff, some classic Rolling Stones, love the very stripped back simple sound.

Just overall excellent

Gimme Shelter is such a masterpiece that the whole album definitely deserves 5 stares!

Only second to Exile On Main Street IMO, Let It Bleed is a fantastic album. Take out Gimme Shelter which is still mind-blowing, the entire album remains timeless.

Those opening notes to Gimme Shelter...

Now we're getting to some albums that deservedly need to be listened to. Really strong and memorable.

Gimme Shelter is one of the greatest songs of all time. That is an amazing, emotional start to this album. Though it isn't until the last song that you get another complete banger, the rest of the album has plenty of familiar and solid blues-fueled rock. Really really enjoyable.

No misses on this one. Some good twang sprinkled in. This is fucking great, favourite tracks are Midnight Rambler and You Got the Silver. Easy 5

Grew up with this music. Didn’t know all these songs were on the same album

Fireeeee bruhhhhh

This is already my favorite Rolling Stones album. 10/10

a classic and still loved even 53 years later

Gimme Shelter. One of the most recognizable rock songs ever. So unique and powerful. Carries the whole album.

A classic. Have listened to this one a million times. Still love it.

Best country album ever

Another one of those records that shifted the 60s into the 70s and was a good thing

One of the stones’ best

escuchado

This is a fantastic recording of the Stones at the absolute peak of their power. From the magnificent and menacing Gimme Shelter, to the languid country blues of Love in Vain, Country Honk (I never knew this earlier version of Honky Tonk Women existed) and Let it Bleed, to the dextrous riffing of Monkey Man and the classic You Can't Always Get What You Want, this is as good as it gets. The guitars of Richards and Taylor are a pleasure to listen to and even Mick Jagger's slightly hokey accents on some of the songs are a hoot.

My first Stones album (on 1001 Albums) and prob my favourite. Superbly sleazy and here the band working like a machine in its fluidity. They are at the height of their powers. Gimme Shelter has the best intro of any song ever. You Can't Always Get... is a amazing album finisher. Lots of amazing stuff in the middle. No filler as they say. Clear 5

Okay, now that's a 5 star Rolling Stones album. I pulled Beggars Banquet yesterday and debated with myself whether I should give it a 4 or a 5. After listening to Let It Bleed today, I know I was justified in giving Beggars a 4. I've listened to the Let It Bleed album many times over the years, and it never ceases to be an exhilarating experience. It's part of Rolling Stones lore how this album was recorded during a contentious time for the band, resulting in the firing of Brian Jones and then followed by his death. I can't say that you can hear all that in these songs, because I don't think you can. But there is an emotional intensity to the songs on this album that feels different from the band's earlier work. It's delivered with that laid back, effortless vibe that is quintessential to the Stones. Their ability to move so naturally between country and blues is something no other band has ever been able to capture as well, to the point where anyone who tries is immediately compared to them. The songs are rich, warm, soulful, gritty, fun. The band is in top form here, with work from a murderer's row of supporting musicians like Al Kooper, Nicky Hopkins and Leon Russell. Not to mention Merry Clayton's spine tingling backing vocals and the freaking London Bach Choir. Book ended with two of the most compelling songs in rock history, this is a finely crafted album that sounds like it just descended to us from the heavens on a cloud. It's pretty perfect. Few albums have aged as well as this one, 50 years on. It's a true classic and a joy to hear, every time. Fave Songs (All songs, from most to least favorite): Gimme Shelter, Let It Bleed, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Country Honk, Live with Me, Love in Vain, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man, You Got the Silver

A very good album that is bookended by two of the greatest songs of the era. Probably a 4.5 but those bookends push it over the top for me.

Top notch!

Classic banger

A classic, in my collection

Les Stones ont tué Brian Jones. Let It Bleed est aussi leur meilleur album. PREFS: TOUT MOINS PREF: RIEN

The song Gimme shelter has been a staple of my music listening since a young age.

Mick Jagger is pretty nice on that harmonica not gonna lie...

A stone cold classic. Best opener + closer combo ever? Best track: Gimme Shelter

Disco blusero de los inicios de los Stones. Vinilo.

Classic Rolling Stones. They were so good early on.

Pop goes the Sixties. The doves weren't the only things that flew up the uncertain skies that July afternoon in Hyde Park after Brian Jones passed the mortal coil. Gone were the hopes and dreams of a generation who designated themselves to the ones who changed things, whose dalliances with all the things that had served to lift them up had come to warp and muddy their senses. It was time to get real. This is as real as it gets when it comes to The Rolling Stones, who had come to their senses a year beforehand and began digging deep into the ditches in the quest for gold. Bookending Let It Bleed with two of the most prescient songs of their career, the Stones seem to know what was coming in the decade ahead and the decade that was about to end. Let It Bleed, indeed. Shelter won't be found here. An essential album, one of the Rolling Stones' greatest.

Gimme Shelter is one of those perfect songs, and a great intro track. Many tracks tell betide and elusive stories.

Never call my self a Stones fan per se, though I do love a lot of there music, esp this era. They shedded the Brain Jones blues cover act and the foray into psychedelia for this Druggy, seedy, bluesy honky tonk style of Rock n rock n roll. By today standards it really doesn't sound unique, only because it's been oven into the fabric of Rock n Roll for 50 years. This album and the the two that followed brought the dirty underground sleaze of Rock n Roll to the mainstream.

Nunca tinha escutado The Rolling Stones a fundo, mas o álbum é incrível

Un dels discos imprescindibles del rock. Enmig d'una època màgica per la banda, entre altres dues obres mestres com 'Beggars Banquet' i 'Sticky Fingers', aquí donen origen a temes tan immortals com 'Gimme Shelter', 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' o 'Midnight Rambler'. No és un disc fàcil, amb un rock de vegades proper a un blues pantanós.. però un cop hi entres, t'hi quedes ja per sempre

I first heard the song Monkey Man in an episode of 21 Jump Street. The rawness of that song hit me like a ton of bricks. Monkey Man is on this album along with songs like Gimme Shelter (watch the doc on this song if you can, the woman singing backup harmony was very pregnant and awoken out of bed to sing this. There's one point where you can hear Mick Jagger give a 'Whoo' because he's so floored by her vocals), Love in Vain, Let it Bleed, Midnight Rambler and You Can't Always Get What You Want. Along with a fondness for Country Honk - a honky tonk version of Honky Tonk Woman makes this one of the Stones best albums in my book.

Finally, a great rolling stones album. Loved it, and it made me laugh several times too

Hall of fame album here. The Stones emerged as more than a fun time rock band (if they hadn't already over the decade of the 60s). Certainly a must-hear album. It hits on all cylinders - musically, lyrically, culturally, sonically. Huge fan. Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are the stand outs, but they are also the opening and closing tracks, leaving what's in the middle to give the album its strength.

What can I say about the Stones that hasn't already been said. Its the Stones 🤷🏻‍♀️

My favourite stones album, so rooted in blues and country yet modern and distinctive, it deserves most of these stars just for gimme shelter it’s that good, Fav tracks were gimme shelter and live with me

There are some five star tracks on here, for sure, but I wasn't convinced the rest of the album was going to be good enough to justify a five star rating overall. Pleasantly surprised to be wrong about that! The tracks I'd be tempted to call filler had some really engaging instrumentation - definitely felt like my attention was rewarded. Fave track - "Gimme Shelter" I mean, c'mon - that track is _transcendental_....

I bought this vinyl from a shop in London before I had a record player. My fav stones album.

This and "Beggar's Banquet" used to be my go to drinking albums and honestly I can't think of a better backdrop to a rousing night. Practically makes me feel like I'm in a Martin Scorsese movie. Merry Clayton's voice cracking on "Gimme Shelter" is one of my favorite moments in all of recorded music. Sends a shiver down my spine nearly every time. This album is completely solid from start to finish. And goddamn if I don't know a stronger opening/closing song combination than "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want." Absolutely iconic.

Beginning of a stellar fun

A ratos country, a ratos más rockero, este disco es un deleite. Mi única queja es que las canciones lentas son demasiado lentas y siento que interrumpen el ritmo del disco. 4.5 que sube. Songs: Gimme Shelter, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Monkey Man, Live With Me

Good. Amazing in fact.

Back in the 60s and 70s, you were either a Beatles fan or a Stones fan. It was a whole light / dark thing, I guess. Listening to Yes I was more of a Beatles fan, so I never heard a lot of Stones' albums all the way through. I know a good deal of their music, but not complete albums. This one I knew some of the tracks going in, so that's a plus, I guess. The songs I did not know are sandwiched between two of the band's greatest songs. I think my biggest confusion was "Country Honk," which seems more like a one-off. They released "Honky Tonk Women" as a non-album single, so I guess they figured not to put it on the album. Still it seems like the only song you could probably lose off of the album. Imagine if they had put the single on the album instead... Other thoughts about this album: "Love In Vain" - really good acoustic blues song. "Live With Me" - damn good groove going there. "Let It Bleed" - I knew I had heard this song before, but I don't think I had ever knew the title. This could easily be a country song. "Midnight Rambler" - Jagger's beginning vocals seem a little off, not sure why. "You Got The Silver" - very Dylanesque "Monkey Man" - seems like this was from a jam and this was the best part of it. Would not want to hear the whole extended jam. Definitely a good album to get for any non-Stones fan, even without "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't..." I would probably switch out "Country Honk" and I don't know how many times I would listen to "Monkey". Still, definitely a great album.

Struggled with whether this album is a 4 or a 5. I feel like if I didn't know it was the Stones it might just be a 4. The two very well-known tracks (Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want) book end the album in masterpieces. So what about the stuff in between? More country than bluesy. Not all that relevant - the key question is how good is it? Love in Vain is a nice reimagination of the original. Country Honk is an inferior version of the earlier recorded Honky Tonk Women (perhaps in part due to poor recording quality?). Live with Me, Let it Bleed, and Monkey Man are sneaky good - after a few listens I feel like I've known them forever; they just grow on you so quickly. And I'm sure others have taken elements of these songs to inspire new ones, I just can't put my finger on when or where. Midnight Rambler might be my favorite track - great blues track (and harmonica). You got the Silver is alright. I guess I'm saying two-thirds of the album is really really good. So I'll give them the star band round up.

1969 Was such an amazing year for albums and this surely one the greats. Just about anyone who's ever turned on a rock station knows the famous opening and closing tracks but the rest of the albums has some real gems on it. The album is full of great guest musicians as well. Ry Cooder plays some killer mandolin on the second track "Love in Vain" and Byron Berline's fiddle adds the perfect coloring to "Country Honk" just to name a few. This album is another easy 5 star record.

This sound wasn’t for me.

Oh yeah

Just noisy and marvelous

This is probably the Rolling Stones' best album. It is certainly one of their most consistent. For me at least, their catalog is a full of filler with moments of genius. However, this album stand out because it is enjoyable throughout while preserving what makes the Rolling Stones great, their origin as a blues band. This album has grit, flirts with a country tinge sound, and is bookended by two of the greatest songs in rock n roll history. This release of this album was marred by the Altamont tragedy, and as such, is often written about as heralding the death of the 60s. However, this album stands outside the time in which it was released and is one of the greatest rock records ever made.

Classic album. A great listen

Bookended by two giants of songs. Ginme shelter and you can’t always get what you want. The rest of it is not worth the bother.

One of the top 3 stones albums along with Sticky Fingers and Beggars Banquet. Just not a bad song on here. I suppose one could argue that Country Honk is filler but that won't be me an easy 5 stars.

Хот

Amazing álbum!

nije mi njihov najdraži, ali sadrži nekoliko nezamjenjivih klasika!! 4.5/5

One of the best Rolling Stones albums. Classic songs nonstop, in particular Gimme Shelter: one of their best songs. I also like the Sisters of Mercy version a lot but Merry Clayton brings it to a completely different level.

Yeah, this is just great, there is no denying it. They sure got that southern blues sound down on this album. I still prefer Robert Johnson's original version of Love in Vain, though.

I am fairly recently familiar with THE ROLLING STONES’s music since October 2018, and the album LET IT BLEED. After to listening to LET IT BLEED, the album is very consistent with the rest of the band’s excellent early output. In 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, LET IT BLEED is included along with five other ROLLING STONES albums: THE ROLLING STONES (1964); AFTERMATH (1966); BEGGARS BANQUET (1968); STICKY FINGERS (1971); EXILE ON MAIN ST.

Не фанат, но это очень хороший альбом

hit

Wasn’t a massive Stones’ fan before hearing this album, but I also never really gave them a proper chance. An album that presents a diversity of musical genres and a band brimming with confidence. Great introduction for me into an iconic band

Iconic album with back to back hits. Not a bad song on the album

Incredible album, great songs, lyrics, and production.

One of my favorite, if not the favorite Stones album. Starting with Gimme Shelter, Let it Bleed, You Got the Silver, Monkey Man are all classics. The incredible Love in Vain cover rules. Stones at their sleazy, druggy best!

For me, this album built on everything they established with Beggars Banquet and cemented that Stones sound, they ditched the faux psychedelia and brought in more of that country swagger and shuffle, it's just sublime. The run of albums from Beggars to Exile is where they transcended.

Has to be a 5 everytime

A classic rock n' roll record. Has the classic rock sound and the groove. 4.5/5

Classic rock is classic.

This was going to get 4 stars, but closing on You Can’t Always Get What You Want bumps it up to 5 easy. Holy shit what a dope set of songs.

Trzecie objawienie sie na liscie stonesow i jedna z trojcy stonowych go to albumikow, o bandzie juz wystarczajaco sie wypisalem na poprzednich pickach, to warto tylko zaznaczyc, ze jest to pierwszy wystep Micka Taylora na gitarce, natomiast jeszcze zyjacy Jones slyszalny jest tylko na dwoch kawalkach i to na autoharpie i kongosach, ciezko w takiej dyskografii doszukiwac sie najlepszych albumow, ale let it bleed jest zdecydowanie jednym z najlepiej przemyslanych stonesowych plyt, kazda minuta plyty zostala zagospodarowana zeby przekazac jak najwiecej sie da z hamerykansiej muzyki, zwlaszcza bluesa i soula, mozna by pojedyncze traki dzielic na to z jakiego regionu hameryki muzyke akurat staraja sie oddac, bo country rowniez jest odczuwalne jak na you got the silver, ktory jest jedynym kawalkiem bez wokalu Jaggerowego, zastepuje go tu pan gitarzysta Keith Richards, country honk, wiec prawie honky tonk czy tez tytulowy let it bleed, nie mozna takze zapominac o influencjach gospelowych, ktore najlepiej slychac na jakze klimatycznie zamykajacym cala plyte you cant always get what you want, ktory swietnie wykorzystuje the london bach choir zarowno jako intro jak i outro kawalka, do tego dochodza akustykowe granie Jaggera i Keitha, no i przewijajacy sie bas Wymana, poza tym jeszcze z 10 osob mialo swoj udzial jako muzycy sesyjni, co slychac po klawiszach, trabieniu i czarno brzmiacych chorkach, co sklada sie na 7 minutowy i 30 sekundowy, najdluzszy trak calej plyty i prawdziwie epickie zamkniecie tego projektu, lirycznie stonesy rzadko kiedy zawodza i dostarczaja teksty przepelnione wszelakimi emocjami, ale jednak zawsze znajdujace droge do wspolnego mianownika jakim jest seks, jest to takze ostatni album wydany w mono, czego jednak tak nie slychac, bo byl nagrywany z mysla o stereo, stad to klasyczno stonesowe zabawy kanalami i rozmieszczenie instrumentow na scenie, wokalnie to takze najmocniejsza plyta pana Micka, ktory wydaje sie byc na tej plycie w swojej szczytowej formie i potrafi wyciagnac z siebie zarowno potezne ryki jak na midnightowym rumblerze jak i delikatny wokale jak na love in vain, gwiazdkowa ocena raczej jest oczywista jako stonowego fangeja, ale piczki plejkowe juz jednak sa twardszym orzechem do zgryzienia, bo plyta jest pozbawiona filerow, wiec calosc leci na poleczke spotifajowa, a na plejke tylko trzy kawalki, otwierajacy, zamykajacy i tytulowy, ciekawa rzecza jest takze sam tytul, bo plyta ukazala sie tylko dzien przed dosc mocno krwawym koncercie altamont free concert, na ktorych rolling stones byli main eventem, wiec tytul mocno wpisal sie w zainstniala sytuacje

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

Det här var fedd

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

"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

Very nice! 2 mega hits. What more to expect

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

one of their best album

nothing bad to say. very good

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

Classic and timeless

Love everything about this.

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

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.

Classic, one of my faves

Already listened to it Very good

undeniably amazing

entertaining

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

De lo mejorcito en su momento

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...

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.

Brilliant stuff. An album absolutely packed with great songs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

.

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

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

Excellent album

It is a five

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

Great!

Great

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

Yup.

Classic.

Great Album!

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".

Outstanding, magnificent, fabulous, amaz-

Let It Bleedin ensimmäinen (Gimme Shelter) ja viimeinen biisi (You Can't Always Get What You Want) kuuluvat ehdottomasti bändin parhaimpiin. Niiden välissä kuullaan monta hyvää rock-kappaletta, muutama keskinkertaisempi veto ja turha country-parodia Country Honk.

This was an enjoyable listen moreso than I was expecting. 4/5

Got in trouble listening because I couldn't hear my boss.

Gimme Shelther and You Can't Always Get What You Want do incredible heavy lifting on this album by being killer opener and closers

Favourite songs: Gimme Shelter (SO GOOD) You can’t always get what you want

Creía que sería de sus primeros álbumes porque lo escuchaba distinto, no están tan presentes esas guitarras de rock. Pero leo que no. Interesante mezcla de géneros, que incluye el country, bules y hasta gospel.

Outside of their big hits, I honestly never really gave The Rolling Stones a chance. I really like the sound of this album.

Released smack in the middle of one of the great run of albums any artist has ever produced, "Let It Bleed" has arguably the greatest Stones single of all time ("Gimme Shelter"), which makes up for the small number of throwaway track (did we really need a slower version of "Honky Tonk Woman"?). This may be the worst of the four album classic run, but its still great.

a classic. first and last are my favorites hihi

Pretty good album; starts and ends with a banger.

*listened before the project* One of my favorite covers

An album with some really good high points, but balanced out with some low points. Gimme Shelter is a masterpiece and You Can't Always Get What You Want is a fantastic closer. The middle section was alright, but nothing really great. You get a worse version of Honky Tonk Woman. Favorite Track - Gimme Shelter Least Favorite Track - Love in Vain ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

gimme shelter, 9/10. important message. best one on the album imo. love in vain, 7.5/10. country honk, 7/10. live with me, 8/10 let it bleed, 8/10. let me down as the title track. midnight rambler, 8.5/10 you got the silver, 8.5/10 monkey man, 9/10. you can't always get what you want, 9/10. i think the album gets better towards the end. there's definitely some tracks that standout, but there are some that fade away slightly. just don't listen to this with expectations; go in blind.

A couple heavy hitters on the track list made for a pleasant experience. Pretty standard album from the Stones, which is good enough for a better-than-average rating.

This album probably has the greatest first and last song of any on this list. The middle is ehh, but who cares when you have "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want". An easy 4 star album for any mood you're in.

Favorite Track: Midnight Rambler Least Favorite Track: Love in Vain

Delia Smith baked that cake!

Just for Gimme Shelter, the Stones deserved to exist. “Rape, murder, it’s just a shot away” screamed by a horrified pregnant Christian backing singer at 3 a.m. is one of the great moments in rock. The album alternates between painfully dull blues numbers like Love in Vain or Country Honk and much more inspired classics. When the Stones are on, they’re really on. By far the best Stones album we’ve had so far, and one of their best overall… but those damn blues tracks still drive me crazy.

Mi papá es fanático de los rollings, entonces este álbum es para mí como un shot de nostalgia de todas esas canciones que escuchaba en mi infancia por su influencia. No diría que es el álbum perfecto pero tiene unos temazos que me encantan.

Horny ass album. Four stars though

Proper rock album with great songs. American influences to the fore - blues and country.

Not being a big Stones fan I was surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this. A few of the songs in the middle fell a bit flat, but still solid listen. 4/5

Great

Gimme Shelter alone deserves a 5. The album is perfect for a country dive bar bust up. But a road trip will also do. Is it my favourite Rolling Stones album? Not by a mile. But their calibre is so fucking high. It’s still excellent. As someone who is quite anti country music, this is as close as I will over get, brought to you by the lads from London.

Good stuff as usual for the Stones. I liked the Robert Johnson cover especially.

banger
