Aftermath

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.

🤷🏻‍♂️

Great album. Lots of Stones classics

Escuchando de nuevo el disco, siento que envejeció mal. A pesar de tener un par de temas clásicos, lo encontré (muy) simple,

The sheer brilliance of Paint it Black brought this up to a 3, and the deeply rapey energy of Under My Thumb pushed it right back down.

Wasn't sure which version I was supposed to listen to, the U.S. or U.K. listened to both and actually like the U.S. better. One thing I noticed is every band at the time really loved the sitar and the Stones were no different it makes its presence known on this album!

The classic Brian Jones era Stones release. Gorgeous mid 60’s classic

Some classic stuff on this.

4.5 a fun listen

I was listening to this with my kids, 12 & 15, and they were making fun of it for sounding like “cowboy music”. I don’t understand.

Classic Stones

US and UK versions are wildly different. I am confusion. Either way, I would definitely have been #teamStones. Great album. Out of Time is a forgotten gem.

Under my thumb!

Mother's little helper was a great start to the album. Lotta Jagger's grunts. I love the sound of the time period, but not my favorite

It’s mad good. Very catchy riffs

Some really good songs on this

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.

Good but miles away from great. 3 or 4 really good songs and then a lot of songs that make me wish I was listening to Motown or The Doors instead

Seems I am not a fan of early stones.

Some pretty classic tunes, most of it seemed just OK to me.

Under My Thumb + a bunch of other songs that I won't remember. Kind of a medium-low energy. Sometimes folksy, a bit nostalgic.

Sixties Stones, Great

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

Wow, some solid sexism across the board here, but Stupid Girl is incredibly bad haha. I enjoyed Out of Time, which is the only song I really knew here, but I didn’t like the pop sound of this album as much as their harder rock songs.

I’m a fan of the Rolling Stones, so it surprised me that I wasn’t familiar with this album title. Always good to learn something new! I think that “Paint it Black” is maybe the quintessential early period Stones song - adding “Under my Thumb” and “Lady Jane” solidify this as more than a one song wonder LP. The rest is good. Jangly 60s era guitars can be a bit grating at times, but Brian Jones makes it all OK. I think this is a solid 3.5. So that makes it a 4.

Liked this much better than Exile, an enjoyable creative rock album

nice music, no outstanders for good or bad but the last song is too long. good album overall

Az dziwne, ze dopiero teraz turlajace kamienie sie pojawily na listowiu, a z tego co pamietam to byla pierwsza kamieniowa plyta jaka maialem okazje przesluchac w calosci zapoznajac sie z kamieniowa dyskografia i chociaz jest to jeden z najbardziej popowych krazkow jakie skrecili, to jednak byl to przelom w dziejach karierowych bandy, a co ciekawe po tym wygraniu publiki popowym rokiem lub rokowym popowaniem na modle bitelsowa po trochu, postanowali jednac odejsc od tego brzmienia w strone odwazniejszych eksperymentow, ale przechodzac do samej plyty, hamerykanska wersja ktorej tym razem sluchalem to 42 minuty przy 11 trakach, ktore troche gina wsrod pozniejszej dyskografi stonesow, bo zazwyczaj kojarzy sie dwa traki z tej plyty, otwierajacy paint it, black, czyli dosc niezbyt popowy material traktujacy o grzebaniu ukochanej, wiec juz sama tematyka lirczna niezbyt popowa, ale jeszcze mniej popowe brzmienie ma sam kawalek poprzez swoje zmiany tempa na melodii, ktora jest robiona na sitarze i prawdopodobnie czyms organowym, wlasnie dlatego stonesy sa klasa sama w sobie, ze nawet na swoim najbardziej popowym mateirale potrafia przemycic taka egzotyke, kolejnym mainstreamowym hajlajtem jest oczywiscie under my thumb, kawalek pisany przez jagera, ktory ponoc opowiada historie z zycia wziete mikowe, gdzie byl pod kniuckiem lub jak po polacku sie mowi pod pantoflem, czyli zycie w tyksycznym zwiazkowaniu, razem z stupid grilem tworza bardzo antyfeministyczny, albo raczej po prostu seksistowski vibe, ktory stonesy utrzymywaly przez cala kariere, ciekawego gema mozna sie takze doszukac na saym koncu plyty, ponad 10 minutowego bluesowego jama, czyli going home, jeden z pierwszych tak dlugich trakow na rokowej plycie, chyba ze dylan zrobil cos dluzszego szybciej, ale raczej nie przed 66, z ciekawostek, to wlasnie z tej plyty neil young pozyczyl sobie traka do swojego broowoed tuna z tonights the night, chodzi o utwor lady jane, ktory na tej spotifjajowej wersji jest wyjatkowo grany w mono, szkoda ze calej plyty tak nagranej nie mozna dostac, pozostaje soulseekowanie, jesli temu albumowi dam cztery gwiazdoje, to na nastepnych kamieniarzach poleca chyba same piatki, ale jednak mam do tego materialu zbyt duzy sentyment i wspomnien, zeby nizej go ocenic

Can't go wrong with the stones!

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.

Pretty solid early Stones showing here. Of course "Paint it Black," and "Under My Thumb," are huge hits, but the rest wasn't just filler. I found myself drifting quite a bit during this album though just because a lot of the Stones blues rock does get a bit samey after awhile.

“Going Home” is my favorite track on the album. I’ve never been a big Stones fan but I see why people like them.

Best Stones' record and one of best rock albums of all time. Just perfect, from start to finish

Paint It, Black brings this up to the 3, but otherwise lackluster album.

good

☆☆☆☆

Excelente disco de una de las mejores bandas. Rítmico, con voz, enérgico.

The first five tracks are some of the most misogynistic around (Lady Jane aside), but at least one of them - Under My Thumb - is a stone cold classic. Bit of a funny album, it feels quite transitional, with a fair bit of filler. However, the edge that Jagger brings means it's superior filler!

Never listened to a whole Rolling Stones album before. I liked it.

8/10 Under my thumb Folk

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.

Quite good and some songs are very original

Not a bad album, you really hear their blues influence on “Doncha Bother Me”. Also had some of their hits like “Mother’s Little Helper” and the the feminist disliked “Under My Thumb”. Fun fact “Under My Thumb” was the song The Rolling Stones finished up when Meredith Hunter was stabbed by a member of Hell’s Angels acting as security after Hunter pulled a gun during the free Altamont Concert that left him dead in 1969.

Not a fan of the beatles but fine

US version — Solid. Obviously Paint It Black and Under my Thumb as standouts, personally I enjoyed “Think”.

Broadly dull

Love this album. Hadn’t listened to it in awhile.

elles ne sont pas toutes bonnes mais on sentait qu'il y avait de l'avenir

I'm not a big rolling stones fan, and this album reinforced that. I like Under my Thumb and Paint it Black, and I appreciate the song writing, but it still just sounds like a garage band that is never quite in sync.

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

- a very folky Rolling Stones album - lyrics feel kind of scumy and misogynistic - overall decent album, something to put on in the background

Lever listened to this. Wow!

very fun and popular

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.

All my stones knowledge comes from greatest hits. Frankly I always thought they were overrated. This album was solid! Paint it black and under my thumb are two favorites. Aside from those two, the only new songs I really liked were stupid girl and I am Waiting. The rest of the album did a great job showing the stones blues roots, and I got a kick out of the slide guitar, but nothing else struck me the same way. This feels like a 3.5 that I’m struggling to round up or down on.

sounded familiar, enjoyed it more than i thought!

not bad. some good songs

Good album, but there are probably 10 better Stones albums than this one.

Time unas de más de 5 pero no todas

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

Was just reading on Wikipedia that A) this came out right around the same time as the Beatles’ Revolver and B) the UK track listing is crazy different from the US. No “Paint it Black” in the UK! What’s up with that?? Anyway, “Under My Thumb” and “I am Waiting” are songs I still enjoy on the 8,000th listen so they had to be doing something right on this thang. But that last track… why is it the last track of all these albums is a let down?

Yep, fine. Fave track - "Paint it Black", by a mile. "Under My Thumb" is a tune too, though...

Fun stuff. Cool perspective.

Ok

under my thumb is fantastic, and always will be...but i just don't love the stones. i think it's mick. he's just always felt kinda sleazy to me, ever since i was a kid. i'd probably like them better if i'd been older when i first heard them.

I do not like the rolling stones...

It was fine, I like the Stones, but in my old age have heard enough of them. I did like hearing some songs I have never heard before.

Necesitaría que Paco Navarrete me ayude a entender algunas cosas pero es sin duda un gran disco. 4.01 apenas pero vale. La que menos entiendo es la de 11 minutos que seguramente fue todo un gesto de valentía de los vatos pero ... No sé

It’s really good music. Well made. Just a little slow overall for my liking. It’s music I’d listen to again though if I were in the right mood.

Sólo dos rolonones son las que levantan ese album la neta.

I’m a Stones fan, but admittedly have not listened to this album in its entirety. Under My Thumb has always been a favorite of mine, it other stand out tracks include Mother’s Little Helper, Doncha Bother Me, and Out of Time. Not their strongest album, but still an entertaining listen and I love how the instruments are panned to either the left or right in these older recordings.

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

This may be unpopular but this album is far too long. Overindulgent with some solid tracks.

Cack

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

Decent Rock and roll

Eerst nummer heel goed maar de rest van het album wel lekker wegluisterbaar maar niet bijzonder

They are good

Very enjoyable. Always liked Paint it black but never listened to the rest of the album. I should listen to more Rolling Stones.

really good album. It aged very well!

Pretty good. This is definitely early-on in their career, but it was still enjoyable.

Not really many notes. They sound like the beatles, and i thought it was strange that the UK release had 4 more songs and took off Paint it black, which was the biggest hit they've ever had.

not bad, classic paint it black but not much else

-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

Some real stinkers on this one lads. 3.75

Classic 60s/70s rock, nice bunch of well-known Stones' songs. Overall good.

Best song was I am waiting. 5/10 everything else

Going home's a bit long isn't it? Stormer, but every now and again I thought of Jagger and felt a bit sick.

classic classic rock - 1/2 meh 1/2 not bad

Favourites: under my thumb, out of time.

Rolling Stones were always a bit meh for me.

Thought "Mother's Little Helper" might be feminist-adjacent, then "Stupid Girl" came on and dismissed the notion. And Under My Thumb. Jfc. The rest of the album was good though. I love British rockers and the Rolling Stones are fun.

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

Det er bare 60'er rock

Pretty goods. Very versatile sound. They feel genre-fluid within just this album

The album was ok. It has my favorite stomea song, Under My Thumb. I can imagine how divergent it was during its time but it still didn't speak to me.

This was a really tough one for me to rate. This album has some songs that I really like on it, but it also has some that I found pretty boring. The attitude towards women in the album is definitely not great, but I've tried to set that aside when rating other albums. I also feel like this album would sound a lot better if it was recorded today. As it is, it doesn't sound great, but there are later Stones albums that have a lot of similar sounds in them that pop a lot more on the recording. This whole recording sounds flat and muffled, and I don't know how to account for that in my grade. 3/5

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

Mother's Little Helper is a solid opener, very catchy. Album is pretty samey throughout though. Liked the acoustic tone in Lady Jane a lot. I was surprised at how much of a old-school country vibe some of these tracks have, with harmonica and acoustic guitar only. And at just how "light" early rock was, with a distinct lack of real lead solos. And how short the tracks are!

2nd guy in looks like Mark Hamill Paint It, Black: hey i know this one, good start. added to my old music and borderlands playlist

3 rock albums in a row...The album is fine

I hate Jagger's voice

Not my favorite stones, but man did it set a tone

loved it

nä jag har svårt att digga det faktikst

Ihan ok rallattelua. Ei vituta muttei myöskään koveta.

A couple classics, the rest were done well enough, just not interesting to me.

Sorry to be Americentric, but the US version, which includes Paint it Black and ditches some of the less creative tracks of this album, is way better and more mature sounding than the UK version. As it is, it feels like they're on the verge of breaking out, but not quite there. Best track: Doncha Bother Me

Tasasen hyvää ja aika moni ennen kuulemattomia biisejä. Näkisin, et tätä varten tää koko homma on

A bit monotonous

Between the feeling that this is the best Stones album I've listened to so far and my recent turnaround on Steely Dan, I've a suspicion that I'm simply getting back into a rock mood. But a couple songs into the B side (of the UK release, Paint It Black is a great song but not worth shortening the tracklist for marketing [I listened to it after finishing the UK version]) I was nodding my head to Out of Time. This one doesn't blend in the same way I complained Beggars did, and seems more interesting than Sticky Fingers in every category.

7/10

1966. Key Songs: Under My Thumb, Paint It Black

1/26 Standout Tracks: Paint It Black, Mother’s Little Helper, Lady Jane, Going Home

tis good not great, Paint it Black is a masterpiece though. 3.5/5
