Aftermath

I know it's sacrilege, but I don't really like the Stones. It's old-timey rock-and-roll and just not...something I dig all that much.

Never was a Stones fan either... 2.5 stars.

The album cover here says UK version, which doesn’t even have paint it black. Another reason to just be sick and tired of these Rolling Stones. Honestly. After a few albums I can see so much moss growing it’s not even funny. I didn’t even bother with the UK version and did the US. Paint it black is a classic. All the others felt like the same ol Beatles rock that I don’t care for. I don’t get how people liked these guys.

The album is not as good as expected to be honest. At least the US version of the album had Paint it Black which isn't on this one and takes away from it TBH. 5/10.

Another miss for me from the Stones, it’s lacking something. Coincidentally listened to this the day Charlie Watts passed. RIP

Great first track but fades after

Paint it Black! And 10 other songs.

I might be biased, because I favor the Beatles by a wide wide margin over the Stones, but I have never been very impressed by Aftermath or any Stones record for that matter. Fair enough, "Paint It, Black" is an absolute classic and it deserves its reputation, but I find Jaggers' vocals unengaging, the instrumentals too soft and the recording quality to be very sub-average. A 2/5 is a fair score.

Yeah I can really get into their early stuff. Some nice tracks - Paint it Black is a classic. But so much of it just sounds really twee - it makes me think of the Spinal Tap 60s spoof stuff.

mga misojinists, i slept

Boring but paint it black is a banger

Kind of feel about early Stones like I feel about early Beatles. Some good stuff, some great, some crap. Good album. Not their best.

You're gonna lose points for 'Stupid Girl'. Preeetty douche-y song. Generally got the same vibe from a bunch of the album. Subpar work.

The Rolling Stones are hack frauds. They write well-over an album's worth of songs and basically land on one or two good songs that sell it as singles. The rest are boring or just outright bad. Under My Thumb is a good song! I like it as a single. The rest is just whatever. This is the genesis of "pop" albums where you get a couple of songs to sell the whole album and it makes everyone a bunch of money. I know people like to complain about contemporary pop music but honestly it's not bad for the reasons they complain about. It's bad because they make a handful of boring album-filler and promote the hell out of the singles. It sucks the life out of me. Thanks, Rolling Stones.

Seems I am not a fan of early stones.

Listened to the UK version (because that was the Album art on this thing) and it was disappointing to not have their biggest song on the list. Was overall fairly mediocre. I can see how this leads to some of their and other artists works, but this was just not one I enjoyed much

Couldn't even finish it lads. Besides 'Paint it Black', 'Stupid Girl' and 'Under My Thumb', this album is so fucking boring. And here 'Paint it Black' isn't even on the UK version.

Buen disco, mostrando la progresión de los Stones, aunque para mí es inevitable compararlo con los discos posteriores, y también con los anteriores, que me gustan bastante más.

Broadly dull

While I've heard a few of these songs a few thousand times, I've never listed to an entire RS album this old. There's nothing wrong with it, but I don't find it memorable-I'd rather listen to a different Stones album.

Emt. Första två låtarna har lite questionable lyrics, men bra instrumental

Ok

A couple of really great well known songs, generally good.

Cack

I liked 2 or 3 of the more recognisable songs but I wasn’t crazy about the rest of the album 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rolling Stones were always a bit meh for me.

The album started very strong with Paint it Black and Under my Thumb, and then it started to get more bluesy near the end of it? Not a big fan of the latter tracks, nothing made a huge impression on me. Torn on whether to give it a higher score due to Paint It Black, but I feel like the Stones really sorta meandered about. That's my favorite word for talking about these tracks, isn't it? Meander

Pretty good. A lot of people describe this album as the first real rolling stones album, and I would agree. I'm personally not super into this album but there are a few pretty solid songs on the album

I hate Jagger's voice

nä jag har svårt att digga det faktikst

Boring at best. 2 good songs.

In my rating of Sticky Fingers, I complained that every Rolling Stones album has 1 or 2 good songs and the rest were filler. But man, the filler is so much more filler-y here and Under My Thumb (the good song) is a step down from Wild Horses.

I hate them I hate them I hate them

this is not very good, quite basic rock. I'm sure it was great for its time but every dog has his day and this dogs day has gone and went. none of these songs particularly interest me as they all feel quite bland and emotionless i hated this.

This was just not good.

Not bad. Quite early Stones and a little vanilla.

Fuck Keith Richards. 1/5

Notable Textzeile: And it's hard (It's not easy) And it's hard (It's not easy) And it's a pretty hard, baby (It's not easy) It's not easy living on your own Diese Band hatte auch Phasen, in denen sie recht interessante Musik geschrieben hat. Das hier ist nicht diese Phase. Das ist ganz schön großer Mist. Musikalisch eintönig, trotz komischem Gefrickel im Hintergrund. Allein die Bassläufe (oder eher BassaufderStelletretende) und die Drums sind so lame, dafür 11 Minuten bei Going Home? Außerdem sind die Text so schlimm, so misogyn (Stupid Girl, Under my thumb im Besonderen) oder dumm. Die UK Version hat nicht mal Paint in Black und damit gar nix.

1, last song is weird lmfao

Ugh I've always likes some Stones hits but never thought their albums were any good, and this one proves me right. I have no idea how they were as big as the Beatles.

What a drag it is getting old. This album is old and worn out, like the Stones themselves.

A few good bit from the band here, you can hear the start of something good to come. But Jagger, he is insufferable on every track. If it's not rapey lyrics it's awful vocal performances

The songs are too damn old to resonate with me.

I dont think I like the rolling stones.

This is an album of The Rolling Stones' most boring songs and Paint it Black, and that song isn't even on the UK release of the album. They had to cut down the album and give us an actually interesting song for our short American attention spans.

Listened to the US release and hated every second after paint it black.

148.

Meh

legit nothing inspiring/compelling at all smh

Creo que nunca serán para mi los Rolling Stones.

Just like the oasis/blur wars the stones vs the Beatles was never really a competition… This project is just proof that the stones are a band of singles not albums. This feels very of it’s time simple almost naive songs with vapid or misogynistic lyrics . It’s hard to score this as I listened to the English version without “paint it black” … with that song on it probably does enough to be a 2 not a 1 , just - with out its completely skip able

Other than the 1st track it's all hokey backwoods twanging. Dated, country, simpleton.

Hate it when boys make Rock, that's a girls thing

This album is dripping with overt misogyny. From “Stupid Girl,” which is mean-spirited and exposes an underlying hatred of women, to “Under My Thumb,” which is about coercive control, to “Mother’s Little Helper,” which masquerades as social critique but is really a dig on housewives. These are the most egregious examples, but the whole album is sexist to the core. It comes as no surprise that Mick Jagger is a raging misogynist, but it’s wild listening to albums from the 1960s where this was completely normalized. I find the lyrics abhorrent, but the music is boring, too! I will never understand why this band became so popular.

Damn, this one was a bummer to listen to. First half had a bunch of songs that musically didn't match, as well as two wildly misogynistic tunes ("Stupid Girl" and "Under My Thumb"). Second half was a little better, but then it ended on "Going Home", an eleven-minute track that actually went nowhere. No interesting build or dynamics, just meandering around the structure of a song. Disappointing.

i cannot remember a single song

Ok

Like very oddly rapey. I did not realize how weird this fucking band is because I've only heard singles Highlights: Paint It Black

Maybe it's just my mood lately, but I'm over all the misogyny in this music. Yes, the Stones are phenomenal, but the misogyny is a zero.

favs: paint it, black doncha bother me going home rating 1.5/5

hshahah

Zero, terrible

I've always had a bit of a vague distaste towards the Stones, and this album really solidified it for me. Compared to what else we had coming out this year, this is really a very underwhelming record. Listen to Revolver, listen to Pet Sounds and then listen to this, it's like night and day. As it was with this entire period of their career, the Stones were desperately trying to play catch-up with The Beatles, and were consistently several steps behind. Admittedly though, there are a couple of decent tracks on here, like Paint It Black, its got a great sense of rhythm and a fantastic melody that really stands out compared to the rest of the tracks... and it isn't even on this version of the record, it was only included on the US release of this album. The worst offence on this entire record though is undoubtedly the lyrics, which even in the 60s were flagged because of their deeply misogynistic themes. Maybe this album could've gotten an extra star otherwise, but it is just downright uncomfortable to listen to at times, and it isn't helped that Mick Jagger has a vocal delivery that I find incredibly frustrating. Even a track like Going Home, which has actually quite a novel concept for the time of an 11 minute jam track, is completely ruined by Jagger's constant incessant moaning. Maybe the next album of theirs I get will prove me wrong, but they remain to me one of the least interesting acts of this era of music. Fav Track: 1 - Paint It, Black It gets through on a technicality, no other song on here could fill this spot

dipois da matematica FAVS (top 3): flight 505, out of time, think mençoes honrosas: mothers little helper, going home, i am waiting meu DEUS q tortura nota final 1.5/5 (nao 1 pq deu pra selecionar umas ai

US ver, one song album

Good Lord the last track was way too long. One or two bangers, the rest forgettable.

What do The Rolling Stones and Pink have in common? The both have a song called “Stupid Girl(s)” and they’re both atrocious. The album edged me with a riff that almost sounded like Satisfaction, but it wasn’t Satisfaction, it was some other shitty song. Bad music! Bad music!!

jesus christ what are these lyrics ….. dropped this cause icb asked to sit through it all.

not my vibe, very garage band sounding for a big band

Did not like it at all

[UK edition] Partly heard before Saved 2/14 Top track: Under My Thumb

Nej du. Har många gånger försökt mig på att botanisera i Stones katalog, men lyckas aldrig då jag aldrig finner det särskilt givande. En banger men överlag en provocerande tråkig platta. Tydligen det längsta albumet någonsin när den kom, det hade den verkligen inte behövt vara.

Nope

Why is there a song about a "stupid girl"?

If this was the American reissue it would have gotten 2 stars purely for Paint It Black being on it. But the original UK version truly has no redeeming qualities. Many songs are just plain and uninteresting, Jagger's voice and performance aren't captivating and often do not work well with the rest of the song. Then there are points where the album dips from bad or just uninteresting to awful, such as the bottomless pit of annoying nothingness of Going Home.

Det er mye morsomm instrumentering her, men låtskrivinga, med noen få untak er skikkelig dritt. Det er ikke spesielt bra spilt heller. Fy faen Going Home gjør meg forbanna. Dette albumet tar jo aldri slutt. Det fortjener nok toeren, men siden jeg måtte bli utsatt for Going Home får det eneren

What an absolute load of wank that was. Didn't help that I listened to the UK version. I missed out on the only good song related to this album and had to unnecessarily listen to this shite for another 15 minutes longer than I had to. Was this album necessary at all? I've listened to two other Stones albums that were miles better than this.

I really don't like the rolling stones and this confirms it

How are the rolling stones so damn boring? I just am sitting here slackmouthed at the audacity to think I would want to enjoy listening to this album. 1/5. I'd give it a 2 for "Paint it, Black" but I think my Guitar Hero nostalgia is what makes me want to do so, so I'll refrain. Every other song sucks.

Boring, misogynistic and repetitive. I had only listened to Paint It, Black and its probably the ONLY good song. I hated High and Dry, its just plates…It’s so annoying, seems like they think their audience in dumb and don’t deliver anything else. Just unbearable. Made me think the Beatles are not that bad and I hate the Beatles.

Both consistently misogynist and with moments of unbearable affectation and what seems to be a rather poor grasp of Tudor History.

Sexist drivel.

Rubbish

no likey

Apparently I listened to the US version, which is less of a steaming pile of dung than the UK version but I will not subject myself to any more. I was wondering why They’d start with a banger like Paint It Black and then immediately plummet with Stupid Girl. Doncha Bother Me was an embarrassing mess of an attempt at the blues. The mix was all over the place on every track except for Paint It Black. Like where is the balance?! Jail.

Everything about this is hard for me to listen to. The, what is that, guitar? Sitar? Electric dulcimer?tone hurts my head. The lyrics are not clever The performance has a certain quality that makes me want to punch everyone involved. It's like the worst of the Beatles I hear a lot of the 80s music i don't like in mick jagger's singing I'm wondering if they influenced every band ive ever hated. Is this where it started? I quit 3 minutes into the 11 minute "I'm going home". In tears. I can't do this. It got old after one minute. I'm not strong enough. I can't. This album is assault The US version starts with their one good song because of course it does And obviously i got suckered into the uk version which is longer and worse.

This feels like the British Invasion version of Hat Store Rap. This feels like such a slog to get through. Regardless of my personal feelings and drudgery Mick is still undeniable as a force of charisma and the guitar riffs and grooves compliment him so well. 11 minutes of going home makes me want to go home. Maybe I’m just in a shit mood but this has felt like the most difficult album to get through. This feels like The Stones at their most boring. Is this when Keith started using heroin? So my first listen was the UK version which does not have Paint it Black and is ten minutes longer. So I was right on all accounts and they changed a few things. Overall this was unpleasant, pastiche, lame, uninspired, cheap brit rock. Essentially what the Stones lay their hat on but it just didn’t have any of the charm for me. I’m also not a big fan of their of the singles off of this. Compared to songs like Jumpin Jack Flash, can’t you hear me knocking, satisfaction and later hits like Sympathy and Wild Horses, paint it black and Under my thumb feel lame.

It's a wonder that The Rolling Stones is remembered to this day.

I did not enjoy this

First song was about a mom doing drugs? Didn't really enjoy the content or the music.

Ech, 60s rock. This has aged really poorly. Actually, I'm so not enjoying it, it gets a 1.

Oof. Listened to the US version and then the different tracks from the UK version. I can't get past the misogyny. But also meh. Take It Or Leave It? I will leave it. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite tracks: Paint It, Black (US)

I am also a Mick Jagger hater.

First song felt so innovative. stop bitching about a woman you asshole. I don't like rock. I've heard this 10000 times. If I heard another 12 bar blues I'm gonna lose it.

Nah

Oof. Listened to the US version and then the different tracks from the UK version. I can't get past the misogyny. But also meh. Take It Or Leave It? I will leave it. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite tracks: Paint It, Black (US)

I really just dont like it, I guess its not my style or something but it felt so disjointed and repetitive. I switched to the US version, and Paint It Black is honestly the only redeeming part of this album.

Sikkert bra for 60 år siden, men ikke nå.. Skranglete og kjedelig

ew i dont like the rolling stones very much. the lyrics are so bad, especially as they talk about underage girls a lot, a demographic that which I am part of. 1/5

Rolling Stones albums are either really good or really bad. This is one of the bad ones. The only good song on this album is “Paint It Black”. Everything else was just boring.

Meh, kind of uninspired. The lyrics were particularly sophomoric.

Absolutely the F*ck not! Song listing: 1.)Paint it Black -- decent mostly for nostalgia -- in my youth I am pretty sure I thought this was a Doors song 2.) Stupid Girl -- Sophomoric and stupidly pedantic lyrics no real tune 3.)Lady Jane -- probably even more ridiculous lyrics than previous song and they used "troth" more than once -- no wonder everybody called them posh boys 4.)Under my Thumb -- stupid misogynistic leaning lyrics -- Social Distortion also covered this song and beyond the lyrics their cover is x1000 better. Doncha bother me and the rest of the songs --- really blended together except for It's Not Easy -- probably the most trite lyrics on the whole album and that is saying something.

Nah, don’t like this one.

Very very meh.

Rating it a 1 because I enjoyed 1 song

DNF. Genuinely, I thought this sucked. Jagger grunting in my ear about how badly he wants to go home and screw his woman for ten minutes is not how I wanted to start my morning. Just go and listen to Wild Horses.

The singles were on the lower tier as far as popular Rolling Stones singles go. Certainly not enough to bring up the rest of the album, which was painful to listen to.

I'm not sure if being harsher on this because it's my third Rolling Stones album in ten days, but this is pretty awful. I think High and Dry might genuinely be one of the worst songs of the 1960s and even Paint It Black/Mother's Little Helper can't save it for me. The songs on here sound very similar and they are not good.

dull misogynist repetitive shit

FTRS

Disarmingly boring misogyny.

First listen

Yawn

straight ass

Repetitive and boring, very sexist.

I AM WHITE AND IT IS 1945

Okay, standard 60s rock album- still not too fussed on the stones.

Horrible - songs have such unimaginative lyrics with poor, low complexity melody

Whether you're in the market for blatant misogyny (stupid girl, under my thumb) or absolute snore-fests (going home, I am waiting), the Stones have you covered Fuck all the way off

Wasn't it enough that Britain had to colonize the world in search of spices just so they could prepare the most unseasoned food? Did they also have to steal everyone's instruments to make this album?

I have no interest in this, dull as fuck, there's an 11 minute song in the middle and Paint It Black isn't even on this version

Did not enjoy.

They have some serious tunes but this may be one of the dullest albums I've ever listened to

Very one paced and boring. The lyrics are really something

Really quite dull, never thought of them as an album band

Absolutely pants start. Got bored about halfway through so not gonna finish this one.

For mye funky gittttarrr og aaaalt for mye StEEEerEOOO spill

Probably this is the first time that I listen to a complete Rolling Stone album. I'm going to sound ignorant ASF but I didn't know that Paint it black was from this album. WTF with this song: Stupid Girl. I kind of get it but I'm not a big fan of Rolling Stones. So, 2 stars for this album. XOXO Maggie

I know this is supposed to be a landmark album and all, but, um....no. I can't believe this album is mentioned in the same breath as Rubber Soul.

no songs struck me in particular, and misogynistic lyrics + repetitive boring rock had me literally not paying attention. already had 2 songs off the album liked from previous attempt to listen from a while ago but even those i'm not particularly fond of or feel a desire to listen to again. could be attributed to limitations of personal taste, but subjectivity is the essential core of this whole project anyway

There's something about this era of mid-60s production that always sets my teeth on edge, you can tell this was EQ'd for FM radios that didn't pick up high frequencies very well. I found myself having to listen to this in shorter chunks just because that keith richards telecaster sound as recorded is really only palatable in small chunks. This album is a combination of things to me that both song quite modern, and also stark reminders that this album is 10 years removed from the "doo-wop" era (and only about 30 years removed from the peak of delta blues). "Out of Time" is straight out of some righteous brothers recording, while "Mother's Little Helper" borrows modes from turkish café music to make some exceedingly bitter and wry commentary about class hypocrisy in drug usage (albeit with still dated conceptions of mental health and sexism). Such is the appeal of a lot of this era of music to me, where you can hear the new guard alongside the old guard and be forced to take part in a little bit of the same shock that contemporary audiences probably held. My favorite track on this album is probably "Sweet Lady Jane", a surprisingly tender mixolydian ode (supposedly to cannabis) that is really performed with a lot of delicacy and control by Mick and crew. I think the Rolling Stones are at their best when they're forced out of their stylistic and thematic comfort zones, and Brian Jones inspired use of extended instrumentation here really makes a lot of the counterpoint come alive. As Tears Go By and Wild Horses are the eventual results of this more tender and reserved kind of exploration. Now I'm admittedly not a lyricshead, unless the words are really clear and foregrounded in the mix I'm really going to only ambiently notice them, but this album is just really obnoxious and annoying conceptually in a way that's just unavoidable. On a long list of things that make this album a tough hang, that manages to be at the top of the list. It ages even more poorly next to the other transformative albums that came out at the same time, Pet Sounds and Revolver sound like brilliantly modern classics especially in comparison to this, both textually and compositionally. Overall this is a really unpleasant listen. The bracing reminders of acrid sexism here are a good reminder of how awful large parts of the counterculture were at the time (a fact that IMO gets glossed over when the era is described fatuously by boomers as a utopian vision of anti-authoritarianism). This could have safely been left off the list with nothing of value lost, and this is coming from a person that's deeply partial to music from the 60s. Ordinarily with albums I don't like I can abstract my way out to finding some compositional features I like or find interesting, but I have no real interest in doing that here. Beyond being caustic and stupid, this album is also exceptionally boring.

FFFFFFFFFffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff................................ I've heard Mother's Little Helper so many times before, didn't even register the name of the song let alone register the content of the lyrics before just now. The rest of it just drags on after that. This is the band? This is iconic? This is in the cannon of our Collective Cultural Achievement? [Clay Davis says 'Sheeeeiiit' (10 hour edit)]

It’s hilarious I’m listening to this after everyone has aired their grievances, lol. Reading into this a bit it’s objectively hilarious that they picked this as part of the Stones’ canon. This feels like them desperately trying to find their voice. I actually love “Mother’s Little Helper” as a satire of how much speed had saturated normal life, it’s genuinely good and a decent tune. And then, abject idiocy. This band wrote some legitimately great tunes what are they doing with “Stupid Girl”? “Lady Jane” is begging for someone other than Mick to sing this song. I feel like Brian Jones thought this was a good idea but Mick is the absolute wrong person to sing this tune. The music is kinda gorgeous though - almost gives the same impression as “Golden Brown” by The Stranglers. “Under My Thumb” still slaps with the overfuzzed bass and the marimbas, which is the only saving grace cause yeah what in the actual fuck were you thinking, Mick. Some of this is almost worse than the more objectively criminal lyrics because it’s sung like it’s absolutely ok. Blurf. “Doncha Bother Me” is just the Stones doing their early blues schtick with a few more bells and whistles but like - they did so much better just two years later, why is *this* seminal listening? “Going Home” is a snoozefest after the first verse and there’s 11 minutes but OK. I’ll just go listen to Ten Years After jam on “I’m Going Home” for 11 minutes at Woodstock instead. Anyway while they’re fucking around I will say - there is an element of this that is fascinating to hear a band figuring out their sound. However I would not call it something that’s required listening; just interesting for fans of the band itself. Brian Jones is doing so much heavy lifting here. They’re still going with this bullshit jam god bless them. What trash. “Flight 505” isn’t terrible, though it’s way overproduced with the organ - it’s indicative of a ton of the problems with overproduction on this album. They don’t have a George Martin to tell them “no that will sound bloody awful boys”. Also lol they just wrote a song about crashing a plane into the ocean. Cool, great ending. The fucking rich irony of writing a song like “High and Dry” after being an absolute fucking monster the rest of the album. “Out of Time” is the second legitimately good song on the record, the doo-wop skewering works and the harmonies actually work. Mick’s range is actually on display here. Even if it is about telling a woman she’s frumpy and bad because that seems to be the theme of the album. Boys. The song ended a minute and a half ago. C’mon now. Again THE IRONY OF SINGING THAT IT’S HARD TO BE ALONE. GEE I WONDER WHY. I do love “I Am Waiting”, a genuinely beautiful song with incredible harmonies and a gorgeous sentiment. “Take It or Leave It” is also incredibly solid, damn did you figure some shit out? Some legitimately great tunes here at the end. Nope there we go with another gaslighting song. Fuck off man. I can think back to what a fucking sack of donkey shit you were the rest of this album. Christ what a spiteful album, except for a handful of gorgeous tunes.

I tried listening to this, but I just can't get into it. This older stuff just feels so dated at this point.

it was not for me. i didn’t really like it, it’s not my type

I think this might be the worst collection of songs I've ever listened to. No exaggeration.

Die Musik ist repetitiv und eher langweilig. Meh.

Just didn’t like it.

So unbelievably boring.

paint it black gets a 3. the rest. meh. Nope this is one star. its catchy but I think I'd rather go to the dentist than listen to this music. I'd rather do mandatory HR Training than listen to this music. If I never hear another Rolling Stones album I will be fine.

Paint it black good. Everything else so so so so so so so so bad. 1/10

I will never understand the love for this band. It’s the stones and Aerosmith that just make no sense to me. How are these bands so highly regarded? This album was not good. This band is not good.

Hm, two versions of this album, going with UK version. This sounds nothing like any famous RS song I've heard before. It's not very good at all, even if different for the RS. Inclined to 2* (1.5 rounded up) 3 tracks in. Maybe I should have listened to the US version with paint it black, and that would have earned it another 0.5 star.

Hated this one. First few songs were terrible. Couldn't pull myself to do the last few tracks. Not for me.

Mäßig interessanter Pop Rock.

Not good. I don’t get it.

It was probably the shit at its' time, but it's either the rolling stones, or this album, but this kind of music is really not my thing. Although i can imagine some hippies in the 60s tripping their balls to the 11 minute closer

One dug one track, Under my Thumb

i got around a quarter of the way through before i decided to cut my losses, i don't think i'll ever care that much about 90% of 60s rock

Ahh..The Rolling Stones. Two songs on this album had millions of views which made sense since they’re so well known. Now, it also make sense why the other songs had less than a million. They ALL sounded the same. I didn’t know when one song started and another one ended. All just blended together. Also, the lyrics were repetitive and never changing. It was especially repetitive when we got to the 11 minute song. Just kept going and going with nothing new added. 2/10 only because of the two popular songs.

this aint it

недоебанные битлы

Guess I just like paint it black

Not a fan of this band.

ehh

non!!!!

06/09/2022 The Rolling Stones – Aftermath 1.5/5 The Rolling Stones is one of those groups that, because of their impact on the music world and general culture in general; I’ve been always tented to listen to deeply, but I have never had the real intentions to. I like most of their more known songs, but their general musical aspect has never attracted me. Well, after listening to this album, I have lost all my interest. I don’t know if it’s because it’s one of their first albums and they evolve their sound later in their career, but for me it sounded terrible, both musically and in terms of production and quality. As some people have said in their reviews here, they sound like a way worst version of The Beatles, and not contemporary to this album exactly (Revolver was released on 1966 too and it’s the beginning of the better Beatles era, in my opinion). There is only one exception (and only in the U.S. version of the album), and it’s Paint It, Black, probably my favourite song of theirs. The rest sound kind of awful for me. Favourite tracks – • Paint It, Black: great track. Atmospheric, highly authentic sound that pairs incredible with the lyrics, and quite original. I wish the rest of the album sounded like this. Less favourite tracks – • Lady Jane: I can’t stand the sound of the instrumentation of this song, and how it is so disconnected from the voice. • Going Home: who thought that making this track 11 minutes long was a good idea?

I found it hard to get through. Mediocre singing, no depth in lyrics, dragged out tunes - not my cup of tea!

This album ranged from cheesy and repetitive to downright painful to listen to. The vocals really grate on some tracks and in quite a few cases the lyrics are bloody awful. Paint it black was a highlight, but nothing special and it was downhill from there.

Besides the 2-3 classics, it sucks

I enjoy the Rolling Stones, but this album was not good.

Blah blah thumb blah

Meh? Soooo not my kind of music. Nothing to write home about at all.

I do not like the rolling stones...

-beatles were better -production feels sloppier than Rubber Soul/Revolver which were the same years -"going home" would probably be fun live but not sitting at a desk for 11 minutes

i havent heard of this band yet but their songs are so dopeee why did i not know this band before lol

Sixties Stones, Great
