Let It Bleed

Thought this was pretty good! The Stones have always alluded me as such a significant figure in classic rock but for some reason I never really got into them, think this was a great starting point though. Really great balance of some calmer, folkier songs with some heavier tracks, standouts for me were Gimme Shelter, the title track, Midnight Rambler, and You Can't Always Get What You Want. Definitely gonna give this another listen sometimes, tons of fun. 8/10

Gimme Shelter gets a star of it's own.

It’s a classic for a reason

If this was released today, nobody would batter an eyelid. But it wasn't, it wasn't even released in the 70s. Extremely futuristic.

Classic

Always great listening to a Stones album. Great tunes start to finish. Probably not my favorite album of theirs, but that's not a knock on it.

Another classic.

Quite liked this one compared to some of their other albums on this list. Is this their best album in my humble opinion?

Pretty pretty pretty good

Pretty good album, couple big hits and decent supporting cast.

You Can’t Always Get What You Want, but you can Let It Bleed.

8/10

You can't always get what you want, but if you try, sometimes you get what you need

Bookended by two classic 5's and enough in the middle to push it past a 3.5.

Bluesy

This album is 60's as fuck. White English dudes using blues, soul and country music to make songs about love, sex, drugs and serial killers. Good times.

Any album with both "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" has to be at least a 4.

Listened to before, but not for a while. Great album. A few small things don't work for me, but overall pretty amazing. Richards' guitar work is great throughout. Jaggers vocals are great on some songs and a bad fit on others. If the single version of Honky Tonk Women was included, of give it a 5. "When the train left the station It had two lights on behind The blue light was my baby and the red light was my mind."

A couple of great songs in here and some middle range. Not sure about the Honky Tonk stuff.

Whenever you listen to the Rolling Stones, you feel like you’re partying right alongside them. This album gets a little slow towards the end but overall is an excellent feel good album!

Not the best of theirs but really good.

lethargic singh

From the late 60s to the early 70s, The Rolling Stones were on a roll 😉

Ein paar sehr gute Songs, sonst Durchschnitt 4/5

Was für ein Opener, was für ein Abschluss.

Nice

Classics.

Best of the three Stones records so far.

Wonderfully Bluesy

Tied with Beggars Banquet as my favorite Stones album. Not a weak song and a whole bunch of absolute classics.

111/1001 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Apparently the Stones asked M. C. Escher to design the cover for Let It Bleed but he declined. That would have pushed this to a 5. This album is in the sweet spot of The Rolling Stones’ best era of recording 1968-1972.

i can see why its popular back in the day

It's a classic for a reason. It sounds great, the songs are memorable (and not too long), and it just has a ton of verve.

I was surprised by the heavy bluesy honky-tonk influence within so much of this album. It gave me a new perspective of The Stones music.

A little more hits focused than expected, but the hits ARE amazing…

I have a fondness for this era of Stones albums--they're nasty, dirty, and finally living up to their reputations. This isn't Beggar's Banquet or Goat's Head Soup or even Sticky Fingers, but still a damn good album. "Midnight Rambler" is probably my favorite, but there's really not a bad song on the set.

I recognize the stellar quality of this album and gladly assign 4 stars!!!

Pretty good overall. A few classic songs, even if they’ve been played to death. It took hearing my mom sing Gimme Shelter while playing that Rock Band video game to realize the words “rape” and “murder” are said over and over again in that song.

Outstanding

Classic Rolling Stones

At first I thought these guys were just a bunch of himbos incapable of writing a song of any substance - and that’s still the case. But they aren’t trying to present themselves as anything other than the rock n roll fuckboys that they are and this was a fun album to get dumb to.

Way better album than Beggars Banquet

The Stones

Good

Not always the biggest fan of the Rolling Stones but this is a good one. The prominent harmonica throughout is a big plus and a legendary opener in Gimme Shelter. 7.5/10 (3.75/5)

Fabulous

You can't always get what you waaaant

Let It Bleed - Rolling Stones Gimme shelter is Such a banger to open on. This song has been everywhere. Every soundtrack, every movie, every sporting event. It’s very Americana. Speaking of, Country Tonk song is good as well. You can hear their influences growing up and being inspired to make this sorta feel good bluegrass music. This went all over and it was a wild ride to hear the rest. I liked it but didn’t love it. You Can’t Always Get What You Want is sorta a meme cause of that House TV show haha but otherwise it feels like a culmination of all their ideas picked from each song of the album at the end Pretty solid record

The best Stones album

So much slide guitar

I enjoyed this album. It felt quite bluesy and sometimes like Bob Dylan, who I like!

Of the four or so Rolling Stones albums I’ve listened to in this project, this has been the best, although I’m still not totally sold. The first and last tracks were the only ones I had heard before, and they were my favorites. “Gimme Shelter” in particular is just an undeniably great classic rock song. 3.5 rounded up (with the .5 pretty much entirely carried by the bookend tracks) Favorite tracks: Gimme Shelter; You Can’t Always Get What You Want

Erinomainen jenkkisoundialbumi, pidän kovasti. Tai siis aika jenkkiähän Rollarit aina on. Country puree.

Bändin yliarvostetuin levy on myös muodollisessa täydellisyydessään yksi sen parhaista. Gimme Shelter keskittyy liiaksi tunnelmointiin huippuriffien tai -melodioiden kustannuksella, mutta se on uskomattomaton tehokkaasti tuotettu. Nimibiisi ja You Can't Always Get What You Want ovat vähän turhan letkeitä, mutta silti ilmiselviä onnistumisia. Pidän Beggarsin "deep cuteista" enemmän, ja Exilella on runsaammin löydettävää. Silti jokainen Let It Bleedin raidoista on kuulemisen arvoinen - ja Keithin You Got the Silver ansaitsee erityismaininnan, eikö?

Es curioso que algo tan clásico no lo haya escuchado entero hasta hoy. No están siendo días fáciles, ayer me enteré de que la abuela está mal. Apenas tengo un duro en el banco. Pero puede que empiecen a pasar cosas buenas, no sé, tiene que tocar en algún momento. ¿Será buena idea usar esta web como diario? Quién sabe, nos vemos mañana.

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

Starts great and ends great

Really solid album. Bit bluesy!

Always preferred The Beatles to the Stones, but still enjoyed many of the Stone's songs. This album seems like a compilation of those songs I liked. The Stones, correctly so, didn't try to copy the Beatles sound. This independence, and their longevity, has given them the recognition the deserve as one of rock's most influential and recognized bands. 4/5

This is the first time I’ve listened to full Stones albums and I get it now

Very good album for The Rolling Stones. Gimme Shelter is such a great rock song

Fun British honky Tonky bluesey country rock bookended by two great songs (gimme shelter and you can’t always get what you want)

Great!

Nice album but kinda what nothing that really suprises me

Nice

Yeah, gotta confess I quite liked this one.

Great album

Rockin'. Excellent Rolling Stones vibes. I'll listen to this one again. The record is just about perfect for what it's trying to do, but it's so straight forward that it doesn't really excite me. Four stars.

First time listening to the whole album, not a big fan of the country sounding songs, but redeemed by the hits.

Never been a big Stones fan but I can appreciate the classic songs on this album

A few songs that you recognize but overall not an exceptional album.

Писал про Flamin' Groovies что когда у них проявляются блюзовые моменты слушать становится интересно, здесь все ровно наоборот; рок-н-рольная часть у стоунов все таки куда интереснее звучит (по крайней мере конкретно здесь) но, вот когда начинается кантри, то это вообще какой то несуразный кринж. Выше 3 бы не поставил но gimme shelter все таки не то что одна из величайших песен ролингов, это в принципе одна из величайших написанных песен вообще, и она скажем так тащит на себе чуть ли не всю пластинку

the last good stones album, for a myriad of reasons the two biggest being the death of an icon (jones) and the death of their muse (beatles)

This was excellent. Probably the only album by the stones that I’d gladly throw on to listen to. Magical opening.

This was pretty good. I liked the outro song "You can't always get what you want" the most. I'm surprised The Rolling Stones have largely flown under my radar because I definitely have a general appreciation for their style.

To my slight embarrassment, my introduction to this album was the 2007 video game "Rock Band", which included the opening track "Gimme Shelter" as a playable song. Even then, I played that song over and over, struck by the blend of psychedelic, blues rock, and soul. Glad to finally hear the whole album and learn that the good vibes continue through the whole record. Stand out tracks include "Gimme Shelter", "Love In Vain", "Let It Bleed", "Midnight Rambler", and "Monkey Man".

I see why these guys were pretty popular.

Classic, feel good album. <3

You Can’t Always Get What You Want makes this album great for me!

my review got deleted…solid honky-Tonkin country blues from the Stones. Solidnkeith Richards playing throughout. An album thay hits opposites - fun and serious, tight and loose, precise and sloppy, rockin and quiet.

Stones at their best

No wonder I love this album, it is sandwiched in between Beggar’s Banquet and Exile. I really dig this phase on the timeline of the Stones. Many stand outs on this, most notably for me: Monkey Man, Let it Bleed, Midnight Rambler, and the legendary opener Gimme Shelter. Interesting the timing connected to founding member Brian Jones’s death. Also another reminder of something that has gotten somewhat lost in music over time, album cover art. Interesting side note: One of my favorite renditions of Gimme Shelter is with U2 performing the music live at Rock HOF show 2009, and Fergie knocking it out of the park standing toe to toe with Mick. (…and sexy AF doing it too…) 4.25/5

Solid album that starts and ends with a couple timeless songs. I felt like a few songs in the middle were written in a couple minutes, which is perhaps the case and I guess could be a positive for a band that can jam like that. Fun fact, Richard’s supposedly came up with the album name as a play on the Beatles Let It Be, highlighting the more aggressive style of the stones. Going 3.75 rounded up. I liked Exile a little better.

She said, "My breasts, they will always be open Baby, you can rest your weary head right on me And there will always be a space in my parking lot When you need a little coke and sympathy" Yeah, we all need someone we can dream on And if you want it, baby, well, you can dream on me Yeah, we all need someone we can cream on Yeah, and if you want to, well, you can cream on me No notes. 4.25/5

Classic stones

3 of the greatest rock tracks ever written but otherwise mediocre.

Stones, strong as always :)

Fuck this album was good! It came along at a perfect time in my week. I love the Rolling Stones (greatest hits kind of fan) and really enjoyed listening to this all day. So what if these white male dudes want to pretend to play honky tonk blues - it’s fucking awesome!! Loved it

I enjoyed most of the tracks - nice bluesy sounds, a few I could skip next time around but I listened through the album a few times which is usually a good sign. I’d say I’m more of a greatest hits fan when it comes to the stones - but still pretty good for some horny ol’ rock. I learnt today that we all need someone to cream on - who knew?! Fave track: Gimmie Shelter

Classics are classics. The others aren’t and that’s ok.

Lots of recognizable hits and some different musical types than I was expecting. Definitely very catchy at times!

While I wouldn't want to eat that cake, I'll definitely listen to this again.

Very good

honestly want to give The Rolling Stones credit for being so brave as to open and close this album with the two platonic ideals of rock songs and then put a bunch of nonsense filler in the middle

Brilliant, fun album

Gimme Shelter is such a great opening track, and one of my favourite Stones tracks for sure. I think they could have left Country Honk off this one, and I'm not overly fond of You Can't Always Get What You Want... luckily the rest of the record is really cookin' and feels great.

4/5

I will never be able to separate this from 1,000 Vietnam movies. 4/5

I like the parts where they strayed from purely blues songs a lot, if the whole album was like that it would be a 5.

"Gimme Shelter" is fantastic! That's the first thing I'll say about this album. The other songs are great but not on the same level as the aforementioned song. Before listening to this album, I had only heard a few songs of the Stones. Give it chance and I think you'll like it.

The opening track might be my favorite Stones song. Love this stuff.

Great album. I'm not even a huge Stones fan, but this is a really easy album to get into.

Another great and undeniable classic. Hell of an opening to an album. There are some real bangers on here, but a few songs don't do much for me... "Love In Vain" and "You Got the Silver" are solid attempts at authentic blues/americana, but not particularly good. Had "Honky Tonk Women" been on the album, it would be a monster. One can't slag off this album, though I kind of want to. 4.4

Classic

Lots of classics on this one

It's got bangers yeah.

didn't realize how many classics there were on this album

It was so enjoyable its crazy!! En verdad nunca creí disfrutar tanto de un álbum de The Rolling Stones. Ahora no soy poser, puedo comprarme la camiseta fea esa de la boca sacando la lengua. 8/10.

Classic Stones. Starts strong, ends strong.

The Rolling Stones are the Rolling Stones. I don't know that they are my jam, but I appreciate them for what they are. That being said, Gimme Shelter is one of the greatest rock songs ever so I'll give this album an extra star for that song.

Loved this album! Never expected to like The Rolling Stones if I'm honest, so this was a nice surprise.

Mmm … cake …

.

Its the stones. Its gonna be good. This is the second stones album ive listened to on this list and while good, I think I enjoyed let it bleed more as an album overall. That said, gimme shelter has to be one of the greatest songs of all time and for that alone its gotta be 4 stars.

Erg goed, lekker jazzy. Ik jkende een hoop. Zeker niet allles

Fabulous

great opening and closing songs.. didnt care for much in the middle.. deffinatly felt the blues influence

3.7

Once again the Rolling Stones, the second album on this trip of these 1001 albums. Aftermath is in my opinion better but also this one is one of the great albums of the band!

Solid one, they have the mojo

One of my fav. Stones albums. Gimme shelter, let it bleed, midnight rambler, monkey man and of course you cant alwsys get what you want. Awesome album!

Classic

Yeah. It’s the Stones. Good stuff. The hits are great. The deep tracks are fine. Tracks added to Spotify: 0

Not my favourite Stones album - tracks 2-5 I found pretty irritating. However it picked up again with Midnight Rambler and I was on their side again by the end. Hard to rate as I don't think I'd return to the whole thing, but probably deserves 4* for Merry Clayton's vocals alone.

4/5. I obviously love gimme shelter and you can't always get you want. Monkey man is great as well. The other tracks I was a bit less enthused by, but they're still a nice vibe.

3.5

I dig the blues-y Stones.

It opens with Gimme Shelter so it's off to a flying start, bookended by You can't always get what you want which is also great. But the rest doesn't really do it for me. Not my favourite album of theirs, but I'll still give it a 4.

I liked it! Opener was a definite highlight and an awesome track to start an album with. Rest of the album wasn't quite so good, but I still enjoyed it!

S-Tier: Gimme Shelter, You Can’t Always Get What You Want A-Tier: The rest

Klassieke Stones sound, 2 wereldhits, en 1 ontzettende misser. Bij elkaar 4 sterren.

Definitely a classic Stones album. "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" start and end this album. Some of the lyrics did not age well but here the Stones set themselves up as the Beatles opposite

They kick this one off with one of their best songs, and a perfect opener - the fade in, uneasy tremelo as the signature guitar part emerges conjuring a storm and the vocals jump in begging for relief. Like most of their stuff in this period, the rest album finds them doing Southern-face: it's all drawling vocals, slack slide guitar riffs, harmonica trills, honky tonk pianos, and a lot of choogle. This material is loose and fun and fine as it goes, but not as good as the some of the other stuff they put out in this golden era of Rolling Stones Americana. You could condense the best of this, Exile, Goats Head Soup, Sticky Fingers, and Beggars Banquet down into three perfect 8-song albums that'd all be five-stars. It's their best era but still pretty bloated, this album especially. The middle three minutes of Midnight Rambler is a rave up that goes nowhere, fades out, then comes back for no good reason - like they're trying to do a 60s Grateful Dead/Allman Brothers thing, but don't really get how to improvise because Mick Jagger can't not sing for a more than 50 seconds.

Fuckin love this era of the Stones.

Rock'n'Roll Classic

4/5. Great album. The hits are timeless. It's the stuff in between the hits that drag it down a bit.

I didn’t much care for early Rolling Stones. I found it uninspiring. I don’t much care for later Rolling Stones as it just feels faux and like a parody of themselves. But this period - late 60s - I am very fond of them. My folks were Rolling Stones fans at this point and took me to see them in Hyde Park in 1969. So they kind of wandered into my subconscious and stayed. I also think the best two Rolling Stones songs are on this album. ‘You can’t always get what you want’ and ‘Gimme shelter’ are no less than wonderful. This also sent me into a rabbit hole of looking up covers of ‘gimme shelter’. I used to listen to the Sisters Of Mercy version over and over and this time I discovered some great and not so great versions. But the song itself is perfect. The album in toto is great but I would choose to listen to those two songs on repeat and not bother with the rest.

Stones at their best - Lots of country and rock and roll without going too far into the cheese.

Is it possible that this album is 60+ year old? Wow. Here you see how heavily the Stones were influenced by American blues.

Classique !

Great album!! Gimme Shelter is a banger for the ages, and Love in Vain is as sad as the title and a great segue into the rest of the bluesy tones of Let It Bleed. Monkey Man and Midnight Rambler feels experimental, and the choice to finish with You Cant Always Get What You Want feels both internal for the band and external for the audience. What a record.

There are some classic/amazing tracks, and there are some that did not age well. It's awkward listening to British dudes pretend to be from Appalachia.

Prime stones.

Ik kan de tuimelende keien altijd wel goed hebben, maar qua score wordt dit voor mij geen persoonlijke topper. Alle tracks tussen de eerste en de laatste track zijn een beetje inwisselbaar. Al is het ook best wel weer lekker om aan te hebben staan. Een beetje tussen de 3 en de 4. Ik denk dat ik voor de 4 ga, omdat zo'n album in deze lijst toch wel als een zegen voelt. Liever bluesy rock dan post punk.

Classic start and ending of the record, with a blues/country middle. Clear standout songs are the obvious Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want, but I liked the album named track Let It Bleed quite as well. It's a very good album that's not hard to listen to start to finish. It only doesn't get a 5, since there's stronger complete albums our there. This one, while great, feels two tiered.

Some really good iconic songs and some not so good.

Love the Stones, but this is not their best album. You Can't Always Get What You Want has always been a favorite.

Enjoyed this album - not one i would choose but really liked listening to it!

Four stars for two legendary songs (Both "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" are iconic and wonderful) but on a personal level, I always struggle to get on board with and/or keep my attention on Rolling Stones album cuts.

This ignites memories for me, when I discovered great music through movies. A lot of these songs were part of that journey.

Listening to this album in my bunk bed I do like some of these tunes, I’ve never really gotten into Rolling Stones so it is hard for me to rate it. Like yeah gimme shelter is a 5/5 song, and the last one. I need to listen to it more but based on the tunes I really like I’m going high

Solid album. One of their better ones that I know of.

Vital to 70s rock

BL: very much aware of this album but admittedly I’ve never listened to it. Which is a massive hole in my repertoire considering my love for the stones. I’m sure I’ll greatly enjoy this one but I’ll have to see. AL: this album didn’t necessarily strike me as much as I expected it to. It feels rather formulaic. Then you have to remember that this is the formula that all subsequent albums would follow. The mid point of the album has a bit of a dip but overall quality stays consistent and it’s a good listen. The slide guitar and mixing is especially amazing for a recording of the time. Will definitely need to relisten. FT: “Love In Vain”, “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” 4/5

Not my pinnacle RS, but you can’t deny this album rocks. Blues and southern US sound are of course not their brand, but the homage absolutely stuck a chord with US fans. This stuff has great composition and some catchy tunes. Gimme Shelter is obviously top 3 RS all time.

es el mejor, de momento, no es mi estilo pero no esta mal

Better then i thought it would be

Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want are classic songs to come from a complete Stones album. Thoroughly contemplative of the era, this album is reminiscent of a different time yet oddly familiar.

A transitionary album for the stones. Not as coherent as exile as it seems big hit singles were put at beginning and end album with more blues rock folk in the middle.

Good listen. Loved how effortlessly the album flowed.

Gimme Shelter might be my favorite Rolling Stones song, and then ending on You Can’t Always Get What You Want, with that huge choral buildup, is fantastic.

pretty good i think

Great listen.

Classic. Very enjoyable.

Another album full of classics.

A classic Stones album and maybe my favorite of theirs. They sound like they’re having a lot of fun with this.

With the highs on this, it's understandable that it could be ones favourite Stones record. It just feels a bit less cohesive than some of their other great albums.

I'm not really into the Stones, but I liked this album. It's true that, besides the two classic Stones tunes, the other tracks on "Let It Bleed" are derivative of American country and blues rock.

I've never really listened to the Stones before because I didn't like most of the stuff I heard on the radio but this was a great album. Not what I expected.

Pretty decent. 3.55

A good album, I liked Gimme shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want the most. I've heard them before this album and love to listen to the again and again.

4.4

As others have said the two mega hits carry this one. But my oh my do they carry this.

There is an undeniable charm that permeates throughout this. The album had a genuineness to it that other Stones projects have missed. There were a couple songs through the middle that lost me, but I enjoyed it as a whole and can see it leaking into an occasional play. Fav track: you can't always get what you want 3.5/5

Can't deny the classics on here. They still resonate, with that perfect controlled looseness that make The Stones so charismatic. There's still some dodgier blues rips that really don't work for me, but it's a winner. Fave track: You Can't Always Get What You Want

60s classic I’ve never given a proper listen to - had a great time sitting with this one over the weekend. The Stones aren’t a band I ever considered to be in my top catalogue, but every time they’ve come up I’ve enjoyed the album a good deal. Bookended by two great tracks, and even the bluesy honky tonky ones I found great driving tracks. I feel like I’m starting to get their chemistry as band members and reliance on classic styles of song writing and instrumentation. Good listen. Three and a half. Fave track: You Can’t Always Get What You Want

A startlingly timeless album that perfectly bookends the 1960’s.

4/5

classic, cool guitars and gimme shelter is amazing obviously fav: gimme shelter

Another classic from Mick and the boys

Almost a greatest hits! You recognize most songs on this album, and the ones that you haven’t heard often enough you should enjoy. I rated a four, only because to me, it seems to be very overplayed, and they’ve done much better before and after. But still… A classic

I can't believe Keith is still alive. Very stones, much jam.

Classic Stones. The country version of Honky Tonk Woman is fun. What a guitar line to open the album. 4 stars

I'm not a big stones fan. This was good though.

this might be my favorite Rolling Stones album. This is better than Exiled on Main Street. It's very consistent. Very raunchy and sexual. uhhhh 8.4/10

P good blues rock album

Nice. I've already reviewed Beggars Banquet which was excellent, but this isn't quite as good (imo). There were a few excellent moments though, and so I will give it 4 stars (same as Beggars Banquet) as 3 stars doesn't feel right.

Gute

-the rolling stones! -am really loving this album cover with the cake and records -THIS GUITAR! really digging it -is that SAXOPHONE? -the rolling stones really pulled it out for this album -and i am HIGHLY enjoying it -am LOVING how he is singing let it bleeeeeed -i vaguely remember the last rolling stones album i listened to enough to know i like this a lot more -the creepy children singing you can’t always get what you want is not a vibe tho -its a four star rating for me rn

You just can't sit still when listening to this one, can you? Positively surprised

Kicks off with the best Stones song and ends strong with another banger. What comes in between is not quite as strong. None of it is bad, but after Gimme Shelter anything is going to be hard pressed to really shine. On the whole a great album and definitely worth listening multiple times.

Been ages since listening to this one all the way through. Loved hearing the Country Honk version, even though it’s way worse than Honky Tonk Women. Love that this came out the day before Altamont, the bloody end of what people once thought was going to be an endless summer of love. The Stones, man! I get why Scorcese is so obsessed. I was listening to it on the way to school with the kids and was telling them, “This is The Rolling Stones…” “We know, Dad.” “There a very important band!” “We know, Dad.” “Yeah, I know, but not just like to music, but to me! They’re very important to me.” “Dad, you tell us this every time we listen to them.” “Ok. But you haven’t heard this album! Listen to THIS!”

Solid album. The stones do not miss

Starts amazing, gets dull after a few tracks

There are some pretty great tracks on this one, but a bunch in the middle started to sound same-y. I do think I like the rolling stones more than I thought I did though.

Classic for a reason. True story. Mick wrote Monkey Man because he wanted a banana

pretty good

Classic 4.5

Great classic rock album with a folk and country twist, all executed well. No one song sounded the same. Good stuff.

Gimme Shelter leads off this album and is just so so good that you forget how good it is, over time. I feel like I take it for granted. There are a few of those songs on this album, and it really does a great job of showing off Keith's skillset.

More early rock… at least this time it’s a band I’ve heard of. The first song (Gimme Shelter) is recognisable and good though! Actually liking this one quite a bit, finally a good suggestion after a bit of a slump. 4/5 so far.

Best Rolling Stones album.

A lot of classics on this one Classics: Gimme Shelter, Country Honk, Let it Bleed, You Can't Always Get What You Want Standouts: Midnight Rambler Others: Love in Vain 4/5

Never heard this one before. Solid.

Gimmie Shelter- 5/5 Love in Vain- 4.3/5 Country Honk- 3.5/5 Live With Me- 4/5 Let It Bleed- 3.9/5 Midnight Rambler- 4.7/5 You Got the Silver- 4.8/5 Monkey Man- 5/5 You Can't Always Get What You Want- 5/5 Total- 4.5/5

Good but not my favourite stones album.

The Rolling Stones were famous for a reason. Bluesy rock and swagger.

This is my second Rolling Stones album (the first being Beggars Banquet). With "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want," this album really gives greatness. Compared to other albums from the same era, "Let It Bleed" finds a balance between country blues and old rock, with gospel too.

a classic and quite smooth and enjoyable

Some absolute classics, but some also had some songs that just didn't hit

Good???: Really confused about this because I though this was meant to be one of the best 60s albums of all time, I didn't really come away having experienced that. For starters apart from the two massive songs, it was just plain mid. Maybe the fact the album opens and closes with them helps but I don't think it was all that good. Secondly as a whole the Rolling Stones are amazing but as albums go, underwhelming. In the grand scheme of music this is very good, some of the best, I was expecting more tho.

- start of the 70s era stuff - classic stones

Havde faktisk forventet at kunne lide det bedre. Stones er jo godt, men måske lidt for englænder blues simplistisk til mig? Virker ikke helt autentisk. Lille 4er, og kunne godt have været 3 hvis ikke for Gimme Shelter

Let's face it, Gimme Shelter has to be one of the greatest songs from the 60's, it's such an iconic song. Then you have You Can't Always Get What You Want on here two. Probably two of the best songs from the Rolling Stones (my favs being from other albums; (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction, Sympathy For the Devil and Paint It, Black) but there two songs are really great songs. Apart from those two songs, this wasn't a bad little blues rock album. Standouts: Gimme Shelter, Let It Bleed, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want

Stones at their grittiest.

Not a big fan of the Rolling Stones, but this was a good album.

Gimme shelter

Gimme shelter is a banger

I have this one on vinyl (from my dad's old collection). With Honky Tonk Women and You Can't Always Get What You Want, it's a clear winner!

Good. Upbeat, good pace. Very similar styles throughout.

Cool mix of classic pop rock and country rock

my first foray into rolling stones... exciting steps gimme shelter seems like the fan favorite and i get it, the GUITAR man... violent, moody, a song that wouldn't exist without its context. call me cliche but faves are definitely gimme shelter and you cant always get what you want. what can i say im a man of the people ! (also another 4 rating im so sorry i just like music. forgive me)

i love music. i love ... instrumental arrangements... its always so charming listening to stuff recorded in this era idk it just has a charm that digital recording can never emulate. this style of blues isnt for me but i can greatly appreciate the album for what it is and the artistry + musicality. it also just feels like you can tell they were having fun in the studio the entire time they were making this album :) Faves: Gimme Shelter, You Cant always get what you want, Country Honk is very fun., Monkey Man, Midnight Rambler Would I seek this out: Actually yeah. the ones i like from this album are in the rotation :)

rolling stones i owe you an apology...i was not familiar with your game. obviously gimme shelter lives up to the hype, and the overall honky-tonk vibes were a pleasant surprise. really strong opener and closer but honestly i also really liked everything in between!! faves: gimme shelter, love in vain, you got the silver

Já conheço

quintessential stones. Iconic songs with gimme shelter being my favorite.

Great album, classic

There’s a reason that the Stones are still recording albums after a hundred years! Not including the opening and closing classic tracks (and a hidden “country-style” third mega hit), this is a solid rock album!! Solid 4!

A goodie.

The Stones are a classic. Let It Bleed starts and ends strong, with some enjoyable tunes in between as well. Definitely worth a listen and an add to your library!

Quite the album opener and closer. Two absolute bona fide world class classics. I also enjoyed Monkey Man which I wasn't aware of which is pretty damn good. Yes it's dated again (I feel like this list is in itself maybe a bit dated?) but gonna give this a 4.

Who doesn't love a bit of Rock.

Bookended by two stunning songs but there's a whole lot of unmemorable stuff in between.

Can't truly appreciate the Beatles without the Stones to compare them to.

Favorite Tracks: Gimme Shelter, Let It Bleed, Midnight Rambler, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want

good songs, felt very country for a rock band

4.5

Classic shit

Didn't know you can't always get what you want was a stone's song

Really nice, however there are better Rolling Stones albums

Not a lot of hits but still rocking! Halfway through we’re at a 7-8. Not a full 8 but it’s better than good..7.5 it can otherwise 7.

Culturally significant

The rolling stones are a favorite of mine and this album is a lot of fun

Classic

Gimme Shelter 5/5 Love In Vain 2/5 Country Honk 2/5 Live with me 4/5 Let it Bleed 4/5 Midnight Rambler 3/5 You Got The Silver 3/5 Monkey Man 4/5 You Can't Always Get What You Want 5/5 Average: 3,55 Great opening and closing track. Held back for me because of the two honkey tonk songs. Otherwise great album.

Oh, mon 1er des stones! Leur 8ème album avec des touches blues. Ok c'est hot! Blues/country fin des années 60.

Lots of blues and soul on this classic!

Good classic rock, with some unusual instruments (brass, sax)

9/10. A couple of the bluesy tracks not quite doing it for me. Mostly brilliant though

The album starting with Gimme Shelter sets the tone for an album that is filed with an iconic soundscape. The rawness of most of the tracks brings a nostalgia for a bygone era.

As my first Stones album, this is probably not the most exemplary Stones album, but it kinda also is? Feels like the Stones were so deep in their imperial phase, they didnt give a fuck by putting lushly produced epos right next to the blues. I'm feeling a light 4

Very excited to check out this album when the iconic album art popped up. I was aware that the Stones were mostly about rock & roll, but did not expect them to have already committed this hard to it in their 1969 album. Personally, I am not very interested in rock & roll, and lyrically I find the subject material of these tracks hard to relate to. Still gotta give it 4 stars. While I don't go out of my way to listen to this genre, I don't have anything against rock & roll at all, and Gimme Shelter is just that good.

Good good

i did not expect it to be this blunt and raunchy, i loved it

Pretty gosh darn good

Great album for that time.

My type of music! Rolling Stones is great!

So so, 4 song are very well

Kewl

Started great with the classic Gimme Shelter, then lost me a bit, I thought I was gonna flop but really picked up at Let It Bleed and specially Midnight Rambler.

yeah great what do u want me to say.

Enjoyed a lot of this. A few of the rnb and blues inspired records didn't quite land, to the point where Jagger's voice annoyed me. That said, not many albums are bookended this well. A nostalgic four APPLIED. Nb: going through this list firmly settles any Stones v Beatles discussion, if it even existed in the first place...

Gimme Shelter alone elevates this to at least four stars, and You Can't Always Get What You Want keeps it there.

Another solid Stones

Mate the opening track is possibly one of the all time greatest songs ever made, the haunting vocals and screaming broken backing transend the earthly realm and human experience. The drive and slight distortion make a sound and a song that builds into something sublime. The rest of the album is mediocre covers and it finishes with what sounds like an insurance add. I always think this band is overated and this album hints at what they could have made if they had some nerve.

Took a while to appreciate the rest of the album in between the outstanding opening and closing tracks but this is a mighty fine album.

Well done, The Rolling Stones (claps politely), that was nicely executed. There were plenty of good tracks and you ended on a beautiful earworm. Highly enjoyable.

The bookends "Gimme Shelter" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want" are total bangers, just masterpieces. But the middle is not my favorite. Kinda honky-tonk-y rock and roll that doesn't really stand out and can be repetitive sounding at times.

A dark, moody album by the Stones. Themes of war, depression and anger. Not your straightforward rock and roll, big hints of country and R and B. Got great reviews, and the playing is superb, but they have done better. However, Gimme Shelter, possibly the best opening track ever, Midnight Rambler, Let It Bleed and You Can't Always Get What You Want stick it to you right in the gut.

Enjoyed this a lot. 'Gimme Shelter' is so good.

It's the Stones, of course it's good and this one has their straightforward rock compositions.

# 47 : A great rocking album with some of their classic hits on it. Bookended by two stone cold classics but with a collection of middle of the road rock tunes in between. Gimme Shelter

Good

Great album, great band, great front man. Many believe the Rolling Stones to be the greatest rock band of all time. Hard to argue with that, their success and longevity have to put them up there.

In spite of a few misguided attempts at country, The Stones have managed to make their first essential record, with the tightest playing, most original direction and simply the best songs.

grandes mestres, com a primeira já mostram a que veio (gimme shelter)

Some iconic songs on here but not my fav stones record. A perfect 4

love the rolling stones, great album love in vain is my fave 8.5/10

Before listening to this album. I only knew Gimme Shelter (it was also my ringtone for years) and You Can’t Always Get What You Want. I’d only ever listened to The Stones hits before and never their album catalogue, so was curious when this popped up. Really enjoyable. Highlights ‘Live with Me’, and ‘Let it Bleed’

This is my third Rolling Stones album reviewed on this generator (the first two being Sticky Fingers and their self titled debut). This album is their 10th American studio album released, and marks a return to their more blues rock style of music. The album starts with an absolute jammer (Gimme Shelter). This song in and of itself is worth at least 3 stars. I thought Country Honk's lyrics were familiar. Turns out it is a country version of their song Honky Tonk Woman, which was released a few months earlier. Live With Me was the first song recorded with the Stones new guitarist Mick Taylor, after Brian Jones got kicked out of the band for drug abuse. Mick also played on Country Honk. Live With Me is also the first time the Stones recorded with saxophonist Bobby Keys. The London Bach Choir was brought in to assist with the recording of You Can't Always Get What You Want, providing the intro and outro accompaniment. Overall, this is a stellar album. I am a big fan of their more bluesy rock style. What an intro and outro to this album. Everything in the middle of the album pales in comparison, but is every bit as good in its own right. First time listening to this record cover to cover, but I will absolutely listen again! Favourite songs: Gimme Shelter, Country Honk, You Can't Always Get What You Want, Midnight Rambler, Let It Bleed Least favourite song: Love In Vain 4/5

Love the strumming in “love in vain” 4/5. So many hit singles. A little preachy. Liked the instrumentals a lot. Surprised by how country The Rolling Stones sound??

Classic, think this album sees the Stones coming into their own a little more consistently the that Aftermath period, Of course still incorporating that blues rock element but with more dimensions as seen on Monkey Man and Gimme Shelter. Personally no the biggest fan of this one but a classic nonetheless.

Solid album. Best tracks: You Can’t Always Get What You Want, Gimme Shelter, Love In Vain Worst tracks: You Got The Silver

Good tracks, possibly one of RS's best. It's a bit dated though, maybe it's the 1960,s technology but it sounds drab and lack lustre. Still, worth a listen

Bangers sprinkled among good dad rock. Gimme Shelter is a stupidly good song. Had a shot at 5, but the album sandwiches a bunch of mid between a killer opening and closing track. 4/5.

Musiikin soitantaa..

Even if youre not a fan of them, there are enough great songs here to merit a 4. Cool fusion of their blues style with some country and rock.

Again a very enjoyable blues rock album by the Stones, not as good as Sticky Fingers though

Very very good album. The bookend tracks are top 10 rolling stones songs. Not my favourite rolling stones album but very close

Released during a run of Classic albums (Beggars to Exile), Let It Bleed has a couple of undeniably essential tracks. You Can't Always Get What You Want, continues to be a live favorite, utilizing local choirs during their shows and the curious intrigue of songs like, Midnight Rambler and Gimme Shelter brought the Stones some darker notoriety during this time. The Stones show their range of styles on many tracks, country-blues, country-folk, gospel, Chicago blues and rock, that keep the music interesting. A great album, but there's a few tracks that fall short that prevent it from being one of their best.

beat stones record i’ve heard so far

Can't handle the stones, but this one is really ok

många bangers på denna! 4.2!

This was a lot better than any stones I've heard before

The best Stones album I've heard. The opener and the closer are two of the best pop songs ever written in Gimme Shelter and You Can't Always Get What You Want. In between it remains largely fleet footed and fun, avoiding some of the stodgy RAWK that fills up a lot of the Stones' albums. And Delia Smith's cake looks good too.

I don't care for the blues but this had some good songs.

Aside from the famous tracks I enjoyed the lead singing from keef, wished there was more lead guitar.

death, muUUURdeeeer... (whooo!) Highlights: Gimme Shelter, You Can't Always Get What You Want

Gimme Shelter to absolutne arcydzieło wokalne, reszta albumu tak co 2/3 piosenka spoko. Końcówka albumu nadrabia.
