Not their best

5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background Listened to both the U.S. and British versions of this. Very front loaded. First 4 tracks are very strong. Back half feels like a pale imitation of their influences.

You cannot really go wrong with The Rolling Stones but this album was killer. Loved how the social commentary of some of their songs is still so relevant.

no fave. another boring album. also, what's with all the misogyny?

This was just not good.

We;; afraid I can add little. While not Lennon McCartney, Keith and Mick not far behind. I can also see how they can be somewhar off putting. But some stone (get it?) cold classics and off they go.

It's strange — I have a difficult time with many Stones albums. A couple (Exile, for certain) are brilliant from start to finish, but most of the rest have timeless songs parked next to ones I'm content to never hear again. When everything clicks, it's the epitome of rock and roll. When it doesn't, it can be dismissible, even distasteful. Funny, there's some sort of magic that happens in a brilliant song, and it's not easy to qualify. Anyway, half of these have it.

At first, I was reviewing the American release, but then I realized that they, like the Beatles, had a different version for the UK. There are definitely a few gems on here. Out of Time, Mother's Little Helper, Think... But there are quite a number of mid- to just plain bad songs (Lady Jane), plus a whole heap of misogyny. The UK version is definitely better than the US one, though that one has Paint it Black.

I haven't checked all the Stones albums that are on this list but this is one that could be excluded. I'm mortified at my memory of singing Under My Thumb as a kid.

Yeah, I’m a Rolling Stones and Beatles fanboy (yes, that’s possible); this is a solid album, though I find *Sticky Fingers* quite a bit better. I don’t get the hate for the Stones at all—come on, Mick and Keith are the coolest people on earth.

Very catchy, to a surprising degree

Cool. 4.1

Bo non mi ha convinto fino in fondo

Not bad. Quite early Stones and a little vanilla.

Hab es tbf nicht fertig gehört

Hm ja ganz nett... Keine Ahnung warum Paint It Black auf der UK Version nicht drauf ist. Der songs ist halt leider 100mal besser und cooler als der Rest des UK Albums...

Typical stones album for me. A few good songs, a bunch of blues and some just dire rubbish

A couple good ones and a bunch of meandering crap. The good news is that at least I only have 3 more Rolling Stones albums to get through.

"Lady Jane" and "Think" are amazing. Great album

I'm conflicted. I did not like a lot of this album but there are some truly classic songs on here. 2.5 round down to Two stars.

Has a few all time classic songs on it and the other songs are not just filler. They're also great too. My appreciation for The Rolling Stones has grown.

11 songs Paint It, Black is a 5/5 song, that's for sure, but other than that, I found the album to be pretty mediocre. Also worth mentioning that I listened to the US version, which I think is superior, as the UK version didn't have Paint It, Black and was a bit more bloated.

All the feminism leaving my body the second I hear that marimba

"Hey let's write one of the best rock songs of all time." "Yeah sure. Does the rest of the album need to be good?" "Actually no. The first song will be so good that the other 10 won't matter at all."

The first song was a nostalgic punch in the face but other than that it is, fine.

Terrible

A Disappointing Journey Through 60s Rock Mythology After listening to Aftermath in its entirety, I'm left wondering how this album earned its reputation as a classic. While "Paint It Black" is an undeniable masterpiece (dark, hypnotic, and genuinely innovative with its sitar-driven melody) the rest of the album ranges from forgettable filler to outright offensive misogyny. The Good: "Paint It Black" stands alone as the album's only redeeming track. Its apocalyptic lyrics and Eastern-influenced sound create something timeless and genuinely unsettling. It's a song that rightfully earned its place in rock history. "I Am Waiting" was a pleasant surprise with its weird rhythm and Appalachian folk instrumentation. It has a mysterious atmosphere that sets it apart, though it's not something I'd add to a playlist. The Bad: The album is unfortunately defined by its deeply unpleasant attitude toward women. "Stupid Girl" is a bitter, juvenile rant. "Under My Thumb" is even worse: a celebration of emotional domination and dehumanization that's genuinely uncomfortable to listen to. The imagery of women as "squirming dogs" and "pets" is indefensible. "Think" continues this pattern with a childish argument where Jagger badgers a woman to take responsibility for everything, oblivious to his own flaws. "Out of Time" is more of the same dismissive nonsense. The Forgettable: "Flight 505" sounds like background music in a diner, a bland story about a plane crash that goes nowhere. "High and Dry" is a mildly amusing country-blues experiment about a gold-digger getting outsmarted, but it's hardly noteworthy. "Goin' Home" is historically significant as the first extended rock jam, but listening to it is a slog. The 11-minute improvisation meanders. "Lady Jane" has a pleasant Baroque sound but lacks substance. "It's Not Easy" tries to be introspective (Jagger admitting he took his woman for granted) but it just reinforces the era's attitude that women existed to serve men. The Problem: Beyond individual tracks, Aftermath suffers from a broader issue: the Stones were young, privileged white men in 1960s London appropriating African American blues traditions and repurposing them for petty relationship grievances. The weight of the blues (systemic oppression, slavery, Jim Crow) is entirely absent. What should have depth becomes goofy posturing. Final Verdict: Aftermath is an album carried entirely by one brilliant single. The rest is either misogynistic garbage or forgettable filler. The Stones may have been revolutionary for their time, but listening today, the "edgy" rebellion sounds childish and dated. If you want the blues, listen to the Black artists who actually lived it. If you want great rock, skip this and keep "Paint It Black" on your playlist. Rating: 2/10 (7 points for "Paint It Black," 3 for "I Am Waiting," and a collective -8 for everything else)

This album was released 60 years ago, with so many great songs, and Mick, Keith, and Ronnie are still rocking 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Not my favourite Rolling Stones album but I like it

Ok music. Vote high for the stones

I was surprised, but this really did very little for me. I see the US and UK versions differ and I don't recall which i listened to, but I did struggle to complete this.

El momento en que los Rolling Stones dejan de tocar el blues de otros y comienzan a escribir el suyo, todavía se siente el ADN blusero, pero el ingreso de otros instrumentos un tanto exóticos hacen que parezca una música mas elaborada sin convertirse en un experimento psicodélico, es el inicio de los rolling stones de la era moderna.

Jamais écouté avant. Même si c'est le premier album intégralement signé Jagger/Richards, et en quelque sorte le réveil artistique à part entière des Stones, Aftermath ne s'éloigne en réalité pas tant que ça de leurs racines blues, passées au crible des instincts pop parfois géniaux des Glimmer Twins, et leur goût de la provocation pas toujours du meilleur goût, à mettre aussi sur le compte de leur jeunesse. Seule l'intégration d'instruments moins traditionnels (dulcimer, marimba, sitar sur Paint It Black, absent de la version britannique de l'album) par Brian Jones leur permet d'explorer de nouveaux territoires. L'album compte quelques morceaux de génie, c'est incontestable, de Mother's Little Helper à Out of Time entre autres, mais aussi des compositions terriblement standard et oubliables. Difficile pour moi de le placer au même niveau que les autres chefs-d'œuvre sortis la même année. Top : Out of Time (Paint It Black sur la version US) Flop : Stupid Girl

Kind of a tough album, because it's hard to know if I'm rating the Rolling Stones compared to others or compared to far superior efforts that I know will follow this 1966 album, where they finally seemed confident enough in their own songwriting to let loose. "Paint It Black" and "Under My Thumb" are the clear standouts, and in the "competition" they were indirectly having with the Beatles at the time, those are the only two tracks that might have had a chance to make it on either Rubber Soul or Revolver, which is how far the Beatles had come by then. Still, this is really the Stones' first effort to focus on the album level (rather than the singles' successes they had already experienced). So points for that, I guess?

Amazing how jam-packed this album is. This has to be my favorite Rolling Stones album, when they were still Blues based but also started fooling around with Sitars and other instruments. I love just how many songs they managed to put on this 40 minute record. There's a lot of variety, between songs like Stupid Girl and Lady Jane and even a 10 minute Blues jam. I just really like this album, every song is a banger and it's one of the best Rock albums of this period leading up to the era of rapid experimentation.

Still early Stones, only a couple of years away from their creative peak. You can start to hear the band they will become.

4eme album des Stones proposé par le générateur. J'ai écouté la version US qui contient 'Paint it Black', morceau que j'apprécie et qui n'est pas dans la version UK. Mais le reste des morceaux n'est pas à la même hauteur, j'ai trouvé le reste des morceaux plutôt ennuyeux (rock / blues très classique). Je n'y reviendrais pas. =>2/5

It's the bloody fookin' Stones innit?

Boy, Mick Jagger really didn't seem to like women. Despite this, it's still a good album. 3.4/5

What a time, and what time was this made?

No really my groove. I might like after a certain age

☆☆ I Am Waiting

Not my favourite of the Stones period. Clearly still trying to find their blues / rock roots.

I play a little game while listening to these albums: I wonder what score this album has? I've been wholly wrong a few times but bang on for this album by the stones (3.4). Two very good songs that we all know. The rest not so much and I have been taking points off for random too long tracks of what sounds like extended free improvisation "noodling". So point off for the 11:13 of going home. I would really like to give it 3 1/2, so right on the average but obviously can't. Ok 1/2 a point for a song about prescription drug abuse (Mother's little helper). Sorry doesn't get it over the line.

Paint it black was good

Longer than I wanted

My least favourite of the albums so far. I'm not a real fan of the early Rolling Stones and this album in particular didn't do anything for me. I'm sure it is a true classic for some, but for me, I'll be avoiding it.

Paint it Black - 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Literally all the other songs on this album - ⭐️⭐️ (at best) How do you go from Paint it Black to a song called Stupid Girl? I enjoyed the guitar in Think and harmonica in High and Dry and that’s saving it from a single star rating

It's alright. Nothing that I'd consider a stand out.

There are some bangers in this one but I didn’t give it enough listens to really flesh out my review. Probably a mid/high 3.

this was cool. comments on this are mad charged. im not sure i listened to the lyrics very carefully. im not sure whats happening most times with regards to most things

immediately went to the edit page after looking at the lyrics of stupid girl and undr my thumb whyyyy do i never pay attention to lyrics.....downgraded from 4 to 3 but i still think that sonically this is the best rolling stones album and everything should sound like paint it black forever

Classic rolling stones, you can really see how they bridged the gap between old school rock and roll and more modern sounds

it's ok, pretty neutral on stones Will I listen to again: 11%

Idk I guess I don’t fancy this old music vibe, you can hear in the songs quality that they are old.

An iconic album

Favorite song: Paint it, Black (of course, there's a reason that song has withstood the test of time and become a classic). Surprise favorite song: I am Waiting. Song I struggled to make it through: the final song, Going Home. 11 minutes and 13 seconds of absolute nonsense in the worst, most self-indulgent, nonsensical way. Overall I give this album 3 stars, there are a couple of redeeming classics / good songs, but an equal or greater number of what fell on my ears as duds.

I don't like the Rolling Stones, most of their songs. There are some I do like. Unfortunately they were not present in this album. It started out okay, but the more I listened, the more it felt like torture listening this album during a heatwave. Going home was a song that stood out for me, mostly because I couldn't stop thinking about what kinds of drugs Mick was using while singing this, just listen to the end of the song. I will never listen to this album again. I just found out I listened to the UK version and I missed Paint it Black. That song is okay. Still giving a 2.

The Brian Jones and Beatles fingerprints all over this thing are really great. I really really like the instrumentation and production. Sounds like that side had yet to be refined, and was a little derivative, but really strong. I'm usually not too sensitive to lyrics, but the misogyny on this one really is a vibe kill.

A few good songs and a BUNCH of filler.

Pretty solid old classic rock that doesn't stray too far from the formula. a Couple breakout songs that I had heard before but you can mostly guess what you're in for early on in the album. I think the Vocals are the major identifying factor that give it its edge here and in the future.

(Review for UK Version) A solid album and seminal for 1966, released months before The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" and The Beatles "Revolver". The Rolling Stones have reached the apex of their early style with more original material than earlier releases. They've already written "Satisfaction", "Play With Fire", "As Tears Go By", "Get Off of My Cloud", so they'd have already solidified themselves in rock history by this album. While this has some big songs for them--"Mother's Little Helper", "Under My Thumb", "Out of Time", "Paint It Black" for the US release--they are still a few years away from hitting their pinnacle. That's the biggest mark against this album. Although it's quite good, it just pales in comparison with basically everything that comes after it: over a decade of great albums. 3.5 / 5, rounded down. This is a pretty big stepping stone for them. Of all the bands that started in the 60's, The Rolling Stones discography is maybe most emblematic of the changes in the world and musical landscape. In just 3 years after this album, the 60's would die in a cloud of confusion and darkness, with The Rolling Stones performing at Altamont Free Concert. With Aftermath, the darkness is looming, but it's hiding in the peripherals. The Free Love movement is dwindling, and leaving behind some scars. And yet, as a whole, Aftermath feels less essential for me personally.

Great album and band

Very nice

Enjoyable era of rolling stones

Nice! Never heard the album before, but was not disappointed. This makes me wish I were around in the sixties to hear this afresh, from a vinyl, with a pair of huge headphones, lying on the floor.

Rating: 3/5 Playlist track: Under My Thumb (disappointing rapey lyrics though) Date listened: 16-17/06/26 Listen when: - Definitely grows on me the more I listen so this rating could 100% go up but right now it stays where it is.

Listening session: june 15th, while eating dinner Listened to before: no Thoughts: I know it’s the Rolling Stones, but I’ve never been a fan of them, and this is not even their best work so I found this album annoying Favourite tracks: Take It Or Leave It & Lady Jane

Fuck Keith Richards. 1/5

A few really good tracks, but as an album, it has too much filler to stand out. Faves: Mother's Little Helper, Lady Jane, Under My Thumb

Bangers and some weaker songs

Enjoyable album!

So at first it was full of sexist musical tropes of this era. Mother's little pill, oh women can't handle stress so now they are taking drugs, Under my Thumb while a classic song its really a WTF moment, and Stupid Girl MIGHT have a valid point but my from my perspective when most guys are complaining like this the woman is not stupid, they are! Then we moved into Going Home and I have no idea why that needed to be 11 minutes other than they thought they were cool enough people would just want to hear a mediocre song that went nowhere. After listening farther I think it was to try and make us appreciate the slog that came next (snooze...) I don't hate the Rolling Stones, but also I don't love them. If this is all they made I would not be listening to them anymore.

I listened to both the UK and US versions of the album. Both start off with different hits (Mother's Little Helper and Paint it Black, respectively) that are not included on the other version. Those are the best two songs overall, so it's strange they both weren't included on both. Anyway, I was excited after the UK version started, but it quickly devolved into a whole lot of disrespect for women, which was a real turnoff. Musically, I think it's pretty great. Lyrically, it sucks.

Måske den har ramt mig på en dårlig dag. Jeg synes godt nok at det var et langt album at komme igennem.

*63 Det er ikke rigtig the best of the bunch, men der er stadig en solid musikalitet.

Er ikke vokset op i et stones hjem :( Det er fint, men det får mig altså heller ikke helt op at dinge

Disclaimer: jeg kommer fra et Stones-hjem 2.8

ikke så meget at sige. Ganske fint med et par fede numre, men jeg er ikke specielt overvældet

My personal favorite of their early records. It’s just really good bluesy rock and roll. Just a thoroughly enjoyable from front to back, even if the last track in side 1 overstays its welcome a bit. 5/5

3/5 Favorite Song: Think

https://500songs.com/podcast/song-176-sympathy-for-the-devil-by-the-rolling-stones-part-one-a-man-of-wealth-and-taste/

I’ve never been the biggest Rolling Stones fan. This album started of pretty strong, I really enjoyed the first four songs, but from “Goin’ Home” and onward this album really did drag, and was a bit boring.

Amazing album. 60 years later and it's still significant. Fantastic songwriting and composition, really puts the Stones' musicianship on display. Such a fun listen.

Yeah this was a pretty flat and forgettable album for me. The occasional enjoyable melody is dragged down by Jagger's slur. No big moments or highlights

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.

Die Stones hören auf eine Blues Cover Bamd zu sein und werden kurz eine Beatles Cover Band.

Paint it black auf die 1. Und dann? Kommt lange nix. Bin per se nicht der größte Stones-Freund und hier zeigt sich warum.

I do not understand how anybody can compare the Stones to the Beatles and thinks "they are equally good". They are not. Until today I only knew the hits from the Stones and they are good, but a full album? Awful. (I heard the UK version, so there is not even Paint it Black which would be nice.) 2/5

My first Rolling Stones album. Had it on cassette for some reason, US version. Anyhow, shouts to the short-lived Vietnam tv show Tour of Duty for having "Paint it Black" as the theme song. The rest...

Not really my stile. Some songs were pretty nice but is not something I would listen every day.

I really enjoyed Mother’s Little Helper, the rest of the album did not follow in the same vein. I think they have much better material, unfortunately it was not included on this record.

Paint it Black and then…a pretty okay blues record. Eh.

Probably a 5 if it had Paint It Black on it (the UK version does not). Overall a very strong album but too many ho-hum songs to make it a 5.

I couldn’t decide and listened to both the British and US release of Aftermath. It doesn’t matter as far as the rating is concerned, but I really enjoyed Mothers Little Helper. America missed out. This record is from my favourite Stones era. It’s probably the start of this era. Brian Jones really added another dimension to the band and made their songs unpredictable and exciting. The album received criticism for being misogynistic and honestly, that’s pretty well deserved.

Nemám ich až tak rád. Som viac beatlesovský ... Ale je to z ich lepších albumov

Paint It, Black is great. The rest is nothing.

genuinely couldn't get through it. 2 stars for paint it black

Like A Rolling Stone? Well I don't!!!!!!!

How does the same band write Paint It Black and Stupid Girl. This is a gross gross creepy album that just wasn't very fun to listen to. Would have been one star if it wasn't for paint it black

nothing that really stands out, just good overall

I would have rated this a 3/5 even tho most of it was boring af, simply because some songs were enjoyable but the misogynie of "under my thumb" and "stupid girl" gave me the ick.

Mother's Little Helper is a strong opener. I hear the misogyny argument, and I know it was a different time, but Under My Thumb sounds great. It seems like the sort of thing that was written after a bad relationship. Good to know that we have evolved to gangsta rap and Taylor Swift to cover those cringey issues now in a commercially successful way. Lady Jane and Out of Time were OK, and I appreciated blues elements and experimentation throughout the album, but the other tracks weren't memorable.

Blandad säck

Bara baserat på deras större hits har jag tänkt att jag inte är ett så stort fan av dem, men det här var klart över förväntningarna och riktigt bra!

Ett par riktiga bangers, och det är nåt med resten jag är svag för bara!

Gillar verkligen Stones, ett av väldigt få artister på listan jag sett live. Men detta album hade llte väl många dussinlåtar.

This is alright. Honestly, it's better than that, I'm just still not that much of a Rolling Stones fan. It's fine.

It's fine. What I imagined a RS album from this time to sound like. Would have been a 3 without Paint It Black

This is making me rethink my "not really my thing" position on the Rolling Stones - really enjoyed this

“paint it, black” and other stuff

Great album! Not my favorite by them but it’s nice to see how phenomenal they’ve always been. New music excluded.

I’ve heard this before and I own it. This is my favorite Rolling Stones album and I am not being contrarian. I prefer their run from Out Of Their Heads through Their Satanic Majesty’s Request over Beggars Banquet through Exile on Main Street the same way that I prefer the Beatles run from Help through Revolver over Sgt. pepper through Let It Be. To be more specific it’s the UK version which has Out Of Time on it, that’s my favorite song of theirs. This is their first album writing all their own songs and they were experimenting with new instruments that really expanded their sound, but they also remained somewhat grounded without getting into the excess and grandiosity of their later albums. Only 2 blues shuffles on this one and they made them both interesting adding new elements of psychedelia, especially on Going Home. And the melodies are great all around too.

I was annoyed to find out after three listens that I had been listening to the U.K. version, which is worse for not having Paint It Black. That is (or would be) one of the two all-timer, rock canon songs on this record, alongside Under My Thumb, which is generally how I feel about Stones records; a couple of eternal tunes, then a bunch of other stuff. That 'other stuff' here has some bright spots - Mother's Little Helper, Out of Time - and also some dull spots, like the dumb, indulgent Going Home. Evens out to about a 3!

Hmm. I'm listening to the not UK version. There's some of their classic jams on here (paint it black, under my thumb). I like lady jane. Doncha bother has some fun slide guitar. After that the album just drops off for me. Shocks me it's rated the highest on AOTY.org as imo this doesn't even come close to touching their true classics like let it bleed, exile on main street, and sticky fingers

Gimme this album as an instrumental and it's probably close to a 5. Paint it black and mother's little helper are saving graces

The US version has Paint it, Black. But this is showing the UK version, which starts with Mother's Little Helper instead. “What a drag it is getting old,” eh? More like what a drag it is living with a shitty man and being forced to raise kids. Ultimately a hilarious morality tale to put forth from a band containing Keith Richards. I'd be drugged to the gills too if I had to live the life of a 60s homemaker. I am, admittedly, very firmly on the Beatles side of the Beatles/Stones debate. Not that I don't like some Stones, but… well, this has a lot of pretty terrible songs. “Stupid Girl” suggests that this pretty banal woman is “the worst thing in this world.” Shit like that is why mother is getting her little helper. It's not the only foolishly misogynist song here: Under My Thumb continues the tradition, but at least we can argue that Under My Thumb is coherent and at least has good bones. Stupid Girl is an easy contender for worst songs ever, and certainly would put up a strong fight for “worst second track.” The US version omits four of these tracks before adding PiB, and yet continues to keep Stupid Girl in the second spot. That's the sort of choice that feels like self sabotage. Equally so is the UK version sticking 11 minutes of Going Home in the mix before even getting halfway through (the US wisely sticks this at the end of the album, so you can ignore it). Largely this is an album built around perfunctory blues, and despite their best efforts at the start it's pretty inoffensive. Among the more interesting things here? I'm partial to I Am Waiting, but that's partly due to a Lindsay Buckingham cover. The Stones original doesn't hit the same, but the skeleton is there. Past that, the highlights are the “tell me, whose fault was that, babe?” hook on Think and the arrangement on Lady Jane, and while not particularly memorable, about half of what remains on the US version could have been swapped for UK's “Take It or Leave It” Anyway, though, this is an album which wouldn't inspire anyone to listen to more Stones. It might, might creep to a low or nearly 3 with the US version with Paint It, Black and some trimmed fat, but I think there's just too much filler and too many specifically bad songs here to make it out of the 2* range even then. One iconic song simply isn't enough to justify listening to the whole album… I'd honestly probably appreciate the song LESS having heard the whole thing.

Boring asf

Tylsää

Decent but nothing super outstandingly good

I think I really like early Stones! Enjoyed this a lot. Nothing on here too commercial or over played. Feels like this marks the transition from a Beatles copycat to a proper band with their own style and image.

Under My Thumb is one of the very best songs of The Stones. Goin' Home is longer than eleven minutes - way too long, othervive the whole album is fine.

It’s a pretty solid album, not sure why it’s compared to rubber soul, though. Enjoyable, some pretty solid tracks, but I don’t know if he reaches that level. Three stars.

Catchy and classic! Not loving the misogyny though

I enjoyed this, although the 11 minute song was like writing an essay and trying to hit a word count

A ways down my Stones list. The hits are great but nothing else grabs me much. Not better than the worst Beatles record. Girls are stupid to be fair.

Paint it black and under my thumb were alright

The temptation is to give them high marks because they’re the Rolling Stones. The thing is, while the good songs are really good, there’s a lot of filler here.

Some I liked more than I should. Some showed the talent on display, some obviously missed by miles. It seems I write the same every time I review their albums.

I found out after the fact that the UK and US releases have some differences in songs, I had listened to the US one. The openers on both (Paint It Black US, Mother's Little Helper UK) are my fav Stones songs and the rest was good stuff too

- Yeah, I'm vibing with this, but like what's up with the different release versions?

Paint it Black and Under My Thumb (despite its lyrics) are fantastic songs musically. The rest of the album was disappointing. I’ve never understood how this band was compared to The Beatles.

"Look at that stupid girl" I loved so much and so glad I've discovered it LOL. Some of the songs like Going Home I couldn't stand it was so boring.

1, last song is weird lmfao

A classic.

This was tremendous! To think all these songs came from one album! Wow!

Solid album with a lot of good and recognizable tracks. A worthy listen all around.

Awww baby stones

Now this is fun! (4)

bad sequencing and a little bloated tracklist make what should be a great album feel like a little bit of a slog near the end which is unfortunate cause i dont think any of the tracks are Outright Bad

The Stones emerge from the cocoon…

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.

Mostly slow, some good tunes

I don't care for the Rolling Stones too much, it's a shame they have such a high number of albums on this list.

PIB is great, but I just don’t like the Stones.

🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 (rounded down because #beatmickjaggertodeath) I wouldn't say I'm a Rolling Stones defender but when they hit it, they hit it, and I think that'll be harder to deny on some of the later albums of this list. That said, "Under My Thumb?" "Stupid Girl?" Even if they're supposed to be tongue in cheek... are they funny? Deeply rapey aura radiating off of these second-rate Kinks. Actually, I think this could've been on par with the star higher Kinks album we just heard, as it would suffer from the same "good but forgettable" feeling were it not for, you know, the rapeyness. If I were a truely moral and good person, any rapeyness would result in a reduction to, uh, zero stars, but unfortunately, perverts are allowed to write good music. Cis man opinion out 1: Bad | 2: Okay, No Desire to Revisit | 3: Good, Conditionally (OR Inconsistent Mix of Qualities) | 4: Great (OR Technically amazing but missing the sauce emotionally) | 5: Amazing

I don’t think I can be a woman and rate this higher than a two. Even if the lyrics didn’t suck, it wouldn’t have scored higher than a three.

This is just what I think of when I think of oldie rock. Nothing more or less, nothing better or worse.

Interesting that I only heard the US version of this album before. This is the UK version. A bit longer and good content but not the same as the US release. The stereo mix is indicative of early stereo recordings where instruments are panned to one side or the other. Once I got past that I enjoyed this album. 4-stars for me.

I've never heard this album, but yet it feels so familiar. Kudos somehow, Rolling Stones.

Turns out I'm not the biggest Stones fan. Don't get me wrong, the album is good, and a few songs stand out. It's just not that special to me. I think it's an album where I needed to hear it a lot closer to when it was release to fully appreciate it. Nothing on the record blew me away. And about 4-5 songs in I realized that 90% of Mick's lyrics are just repeating the same one to two lines for the entire song. Maybe their other albums will be better.

I understand the significance but it's really not aged well, especially lyrically. And if you're going to plant a flag with a track over 10 minutes, don't just record a boring jam session. There were points where I was going to give this one star.

I like this more than the Beatles album from the day before, but still neither hit my top albums. Really good stuff, probably would be more impactful if I had heard it when it first came out.

Pr grndbrkng

Great album.

6.5 - fine, stones don’t do much for me

i was so bored. and why is he calling that girl stupid? >:(

Kinda average

Mid table Stones

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

here we can see the Rolling Stones becoming a rock band in the contemporary sense of the word: a band that writes and performs all-original material. previous LPs were partially (or even mostly) comprised of cover versions that showed their love and respect for American folk and blues; but on Aftermath, the Stones start to really put their foot in the ring as contributors to that lineage. as a songwriting duo, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards clearly had a lot of room to grow from here, but standouts like "Mother's Little Helper", "Under My Thumb" and "Out of Time" stand up just as strongly as do the songs from their more legendary albums to follow. Brian Jones is a much bigger factor in this era of the band, with his sitar parts in particular giving a lot of flavor to the musical formula they were working with. this is most notable on "Paint It Black", one of their earliest hits, which landed on the American edition of Aftermath, but not the UK one, so it's not factoring into my review here. that being said, there's still plenty of sitar from Jones, along with marimba, koto and dulcimer. the 52-minute duration of the UK pressing strikes me as ambitious, but not exactly desirable. "Goin' Home" is an 11-minute jam that's one of the earliest examples of such a track on a studio rock album, but not necessarily one of the most notable. the deeper cuts also start to feel pretty repetitive after a while. keep the tracks you like and throw 'em in a playlist or something. light 7/10.

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

Good album.

Thanks to the game "Guitar Hero III" the song "Paint It, Black" is engraved in my heart :) Sounded to me a kind of deconstruction of country music with rock&roll mixed in.

It was aight kinda boring

I enjoyed this album I just thought it felt soooo long. I was like where is the end of it. Some great tracks I can't fault a lot of it but it just feels so drawn out.

2.5 Mostly forgettable

Feeling quite conflicted on this one as there as re hip hop records on this I've marked down for their unpleasant misogyny but musically I really like Under My Thumb which is one of several toxic male manipulator anthems from Jagger and co. The US version of this has Paint It Black on it, which is one of the best songs of the decade but there's also quite a few filler tracks on here too, so I'm going to prevaricate and award 3 stars rather than face the bigger question of whether pop music was sexist from it's inception.

Probably falls in the 3.5 range. Can absolutely hear where their sound is headed.

Not my #1 Rolling Stones album - some of the songs are repetitive or have annoying lyrics - but includes hits Paint it Black (one of my absolute favs by them) and Under My Thumb.

The songs are too damn old to resonate with me.

Surprisingly good album! Rolling Stones is one of the most overrated bands ever. IMO, they’re more of a singles band than an album band, but this album is actually okay. It starts out really strong before the 11 minute drag starts, and brings along the next 3 poor tracks. Out of time is awesome and the album ends in an okay manner. 6/10

I dont think I like the rolling stones.

Note: I listened to the US edition of this album because that's what was on YouTube Music, though I think the recommendation was for the US edition, which has a pretty different track listing. I know that the Stones are a big deal, and this album is important because it's the first of their albums without any cover songs on it. It's a shame that I didn't like it anywhere near as much as I wanted to. The only song that I'd definitely listen to again is "Paint It Black." A lot of the other songs have very strong instrumentation and would sound great if it wasn't for the horrifying levels of misogyny in the lyrics, even by Rolling Stones standards. And there's no world in which the Stones work as a jam band, so my attitude towards the 11-minute album closer, "Goin' Home," was "Just end already!"

Even the bad songs are good. Not yet at their outstanding best but still many classics, plus several more flashes of the brilliance to come.

Just because the stones are the stones, doesn't make every album great. This one is quite good though.

The aftermath of listening to this album had me rolling in fields of sheep, gently brushing the pastures, looking at the sunshine beaming over the hill. I then encountered a mystical creature which spoke in alarm sounds, then realising I slept into the next day.

The Rolling Stones really aren’t my cup of tea and it all sounds a bit samey. Won’t be relistening

I don't think I've ever listened to Aftermath in full before and there are definite peaks and troughs. It's got that sound of a band in transition - there's the outright pop direction of songs like Mother's Little Helper, Under My Thumb, and Out of Time, then there are the blues tracks like Going Home (which was a slog), High and Dry, etc. The two styles don't sit comfortably alongside one another here to my mind, but they merged these influences almost seamlessly on their future records. An awkward listen all in all. Fun as their earlier years were, I think they had to get their next album (Between the Buttons) and their clumsy psychedelic effort (Their Satanic Majesties) out of the way before they could really get going in earnest. Personally, I don't think you need to listen to anything before Beggar's Banquet. From then on, they were untouchable.

After a slew of, at best, mediocre albums it was great to hear an album that really is deserving of being on this list. When an album starts with, a phrase I very rarely use "timeless classic" in Paint It Black you know it has to be something special. Lady Jane and Under My Thumb are here too, and I suppose those are just the obvious ones. It's difficult for the other songs to live up to the majesty of those 3 and they probably don't but are still solid songs in their own right. Rocking.

Trying to listen to white, British, kids try and play soulful Rock 'n' Roll, or black-American Blues, is offensive to my ears. The main offender, 'Going Home' is like a high-school project gone wrong - painful. You can really tell this was their first album. I understand you have to start somewhere, but blimey. 2 stars for trying something new, I guess.

Hovered between a two and a three, waiting out all that misogyny and all those self-evidently pre-classic Stones workouts to see if Paint It Black (about as good as '60s rock-and-roll got, surely) might tilt me towards the three once it finally showed up. Reader, show up it did not (damned UK edition). Two it is.

it aight

No mi rollo

RATING: 7.5/10 HIGHLIGHT: Mother’s Little Helper LOWLIGHT: Doncha Bother Me

Liked the front half of the album but got a bit repetitive by the end.

I probably liked this more than any of their other non-early stuff I've heard.

Nice to hear the early stones. I like the bluesy mix on some songs.

Sorry lads but I'm not a Stones guy. This is fine.

[Sitar intro] Jagger: You’re so dumb and ugly ☹️ [basic boogie woogie beat] [funky guitar riff] Jagger: But I’m gonna have sex with you anyway 😏 [harmonica] Jagger: Whether you want me to or not 😎 [guitar solo that’s just the riff from before repeated over and over again] Jagger: SHOO BEE DOO BEE TA LA LA [10x times until fade out]

Hard to give an album with two of the best tracks of all time, anything lower than a 5 but the rest of the songs leave much to the imagination.

Fun but not mind blowing. Three

Amazing album, i either knew or was immediately singing along with the first 6 or 7 songs, but I felt the back of the album was a touch weaker, and would have been improved by swapping Paint It Black back in, like they did on the US release.

I like it. 4 stars

Some songs were great, others not so much. Some lyrics need rethinking. Good Lord.

misogynistic af

There are six The Rolling Stones albums on this list, I feel like this one could have been cut. Perfectly fine, but to my ear ordinary, rock and roll.

Really good album. Loved starting with 'Paint it Black' and ending with 'Home.' Real honkey tonk feel and jam session vibes.

Lowkey pedestrian.

While I enjoy their hits, the rest of their music doesn't roll for me. ★★★

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.

If the Wikipedia page is correct, I have now listened to everything The Rolling Stones has to offer in this generator after completing 59 percent of this journey. I'm an original album purist, so I only listened to the United Kingdom version, and that may be the difference maker here. Again, I wasn't very impressed. A few key songs helped carry this album to some enjoyability. In this generator, my favorite album by The Rolling Stones is "Let It Bleed". Overall, I say the band is influential, obviously has tremendous longevity, but is overrated as well. Favorite Track: "Lady Jane".

It feels like blasphemy to say, but I wasn't that fond of this album. It was alright to have on in the background I suppose, but with a group like The Rolling Stones I thought it'd knock it out of the park. Was just fine for me, but no takeaways and I wouldn't listen again.

Really shows the blues roots of this band.

Already knew Paint it Black, rest never heard but familiar. I get the hype but had to be there

The Rolling Stones—the world's most successful and arguably most overrated rock band. I'm sorry, but I've never liked them. *Aftermath* was recorded during the Brian Jones era—the period of the band's history that appeals to me the most. Two songs on this album really struck a chord with me: "Lady Jane" and "Paint It Black." They are quite different from one another, yet both are truly excellent in their own way. I can also appreciate "Out of Time," but the rest of the album either leaves me completely cold or is downright annoying. I’m not really a "blues" fan, either, and I’ve always found that particular incarnation of the Stones absolutely repulsive. So, I’ll give the band two stars for those two genuinely good songs—plus another half-star, ideally, though that’s not an option here—so, two stars it is.

son los rolling, ya de por sí son icónicos, el principio del álbum tiene sonidos e instrumentos que suenan un poco orientales y me encanta, pero al final va decayendo un poco y acaban con country, está bien pero me gusta mucho más el principio

This album was really enjoyable to listen to.

Apparently their first album containing tracks they wrote themselves, it’s pretty much the blueprint for their sound. Paint It Black does a lot of heavy lifting for this album and it’s a shame that it’s the opener as it’s a hard act to follow.

This album does nothing to dispell my feeling that the Stones were a singles act until the late 60's. Any albums they have on this list that predate 'Beggar's Banquet' shouldn't be on here - just like this one. The best thing to take away from this is that before The Beatles releases the years ahead Revolver, Lennon joked they should call it 'Before Geography'. Best Tracks: Mother's Little Helper; Under My Thumb; Out of Time

I thought this was a solid Stones album! It didn’t blow me away but I thought it was enjoyable to listen to and I would give it another listen in the future if I was in the mood for some blues/psychedelic rock!

What are we meant to take away from songs like “under my thumb” and “stupid girl”? Ridiculous misogynistic album & a boring waste of time.

Honestly some of the songs sound like they wouldn’t sound out of place on a spinal tap covers album. The highs on this album are great but the lows really drag it down.

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

It's just kinda annoying.

Teniendo en cuenta que he escuchado la versión USA. Mucho mejor que otros discos de ellos en esta lista. Hay grandes canciones que me he guardado: «Paint It, Black», «Doncha Bother Me» y «It's Not Easy». Especialmente interesante «Under My Thumb».

Paint it black and Under My Thumb rip. When this album rocks - it rocks. When it sucks - it sucks. Too bad it sucks more than it rocks. A lot of this was just Temu Beatles. Overall not the worst stones album. Relatively inoffensive if not bland.

I think i really only enjoy popular Stones songs, the album was okay but a bit boring for me in some parts. I appreciate it but it's not all for me.

Bardzo mi sie podobał, sczególnie jak jechałam autobusem do szkoły i padało. Czasami przeszkadzał mi ten dźwięk charmonijki, ale niektóre numery były super świetne

What makes Aftermath great is not polish. It is expansion. The Stones are still dirty, sarcastic, and sexually combative, but now they are also more texturally ambitious and more compositionally confident. Brian Jones is a huge part of that leap: the album is full of unusual colors for a Stones record of the period, including marimba, dulcimer, and sitar, which helps explain why the record feels like more than just tougher blues-rock.

That was funny this really sucked

Ok, yes, some of these lyrics aged like your finest milks. But it's still the Stones.

That's it? It was fine, but also not super special?

It's hard to rate, cause there's some good stuff. It's just not my style.

No me disgustó, 3/5

Solid, but not up to the levels of Exile, Sticky Fingers, or Let it Bleed. You can kind of see the band starting to move into that territory, but they haven't arrived quite yet. 7/10

This is a good album for a new band to listen to before listening to exile on mainstreet… to realize that early albums often kinda suck. This album kinda sucks.

Did US as it was shorter and has paint it black Not as fond of this as their later work, and when you look at what Beatles/Beach Boys were doing in 1966 this clearly pales by comparison, though I appreciate they both lean much more towards pop than Stones

Is good but it definitely drops off after paint it black I did also listen to the US version so probably need to go back and listen to the correct one at some point 3.5

Not my favorite from them

Let’s repeat the same lyrics one more time.

Keith and Mick

"Aftermath" captures The Rolling Stones attempting to prove they were more than just a rhythm and blues outfit. To a large extent, they succeed with tracks such as 'Mother's Little Helper', 'Lady Jane', 'Under My Thumb', and 'Out of Time'. However, in branching out, they lose some of the primal quality that typically identifies the band's signature sound. Even when they attempt to return to those blues roots, the results feel slightly jarring against the more experimental material. On this record, tracks like 'Doncha Bother Me', 'Goin' Home', 'It's Not Easy', and 'Flight 505' and especially those tracks after 'Out of Time' feel somewhat like filler. Note: 'Paint It Black' is absent from the UK version of the album. At the time of release, UK industry practice avoided including hit singles on LPs to ensure fans weren't "paying twice." Typically, albums were preceded by a non-album lead single, with perhaps one further track taken from the LP later. In contrast, 'Paint It Black' opened the US edition, replacing 'Mother's Little Helper'. Ultimately, "Aftermath" comes across as a slightly schizophrenic album, as if two inner voices are struggling for dominance. This conflict hampers the overall cohesion. The more adventurous tracks might have been better suited to an EP, leaving the LP to focus on the core 'Stones sound'. This lack of focus prevents a very good album from reaching a higher status. Four stars. Side one - UK Version 1 "Mother's Little Helper" (5/5) 2 "Stupid Girl" (3/5) 3 "Lady Jane" (5/5) 4 "Under My Thumb" (5/5) 5 "Doncha Bother Me" (3/5) 6 "Goin' Home" (3/5) Side two - UK Version 1 "Flight 505" (4/5) 2 "High and Dry" (3/5) 3 "Out of Time" (5/5) 4 "It's Not Easy" (3/5) 5 "I Am Waiting" (3/5) 6 "Take It or Leave It" (3/5) 7 "Think" (3/5) 8 "What to Do" (3/5) Total - 51 Average - 3.64 316/1001 170/316 albums reviewed were new to me.

Another band where the singles are great but not really finding any hidden gems on the albums So if you took the singles away, this would be quite a bad record Strange to see there are versions of this album with different tracks

i can see why this is good music but it gets on my nerves very quickly. not for me

Good album

Paint it black go brrrrr Stupid girl repetitive Lady Jane repetitive Inder my thumb repetitive Doncha bother me blues go but still repetative Think is ok Flight 505 eh High and dry the It's not easy ok I am waiting eh, long and repetitive Going home stfu about how tight ur girl is

Great vocals and instrumentals, style is very of its time and good (night bar music), just not enough to be much more memorable than this listen. Paint it black will always be a classic, but I found some more liked songs.

kinda mid had 3 songs i liked lowkey are some creeps stupid girl 😡

An older album. Again I seem to prefer modern producing rather thay the spacious recording of older times. This album was an easy listen. Didn't blow me away, didn't aggravate me either. (3/5)

Never a big Stones fan, they always seemed petulant

legit nothing inspiring/compelling at all smh

Very strong songs, consistently good throughout, loved loved loved the experimentation in regards to instrumentation and genres, slightly misogynistic lyrics that were a little uncomfortable

Stones albums lose the raw energy that came across when they performed to the point where their albums are just meh

Starts off kinda promising but this is just not a very interesting record

classic Stones therein, 3 songs we've heard a thousand times or so and some copycat blues color by numbers to fill out the rest of it 3.5/5

Det va gøy og veldig Rolling Stonesk? Ikke nevneverdig i særlig grad for egen del, men æ likte det. Kanskje særlig den skikkelig lange greia til slutt.

Stupid Girl brings the album down. One of their worst songs, and it somehow comes after Paint it Black on the album. Overall, quality varies with an end song that sounds too much Gloria, but it’s still a solid Stones album

It’s been said that the music of today is all chorus no verse, with heavy repetition to accommodate short attention spans. What, then, the hell would you call this?

oops forgot to rate this 2

Listens: 4 Standout Tracks: Paint It Black, Under My Thumb I feel like the Rolling Stones have some sort of split-brain going on. On one side of the brain, you have absolute bangers like Sympathy For The Devil, Gimme Shelter, Paint It Black, Under My Thumb. And on the other, you've got really weird (but not necessarily bad) shit like Lady Jane. Maybe my beef is just with that track, which feels otherwise out of place compared to the rest of the album. Its a baroque tune in a sea of rock and roll and blues. Why is it on the album? Paint it Black and Under My Thumb are 5's and the rest of the album is a 3 (Going Home is a 4).

Favorite: Lady Jane

One or two good songs , the rest just about average.

Hard to argue with this one. Peak Stones?

There are two versions of this album - the UK version and the U.S. version - that have slightly different track lists. I listened to the U.S. version mainly because the first song on the album is "Paint It Black" and the song isn't on the UK version at all. "Paint It Black" is my favorite Rolling Stones song and one of my all-time favorite songs, period. As far as the whole album, I definitely enjoyed listening to it. I think the Stones did some things on this album that other bands weren't really doing at the time - experimenting with different instruments, etc. It's not always a popular opinion, but I've always been a bigger Stones fan than a Beatles fan (probably because my Dad is as well). Setting aside the fact that some of the lyrics on some of the songs are pretty cringey and the fact that the last song - "Goin' Home" - just goes on for way too long and never really goes anywhere, this is a solid album.

Cool, different, a little too country/blusey for my liking. Still decent. 3.5/5

bakeliten halgattam, úgyhogy eleve egy másfajta, sokkal nyugodtabb, lassabb, odafigyelősebb halgatási élmény volt. tetszett, de kicsit jobban szeretem a későbbi rockot - ezért a 3 csillag

Сара 4 Марко 4

… Oh… … Well, this is my third time writing this for some reason. Anyway this is the Stones’ first album that a lot of people really pay attention to, due to the fact that it has “Mommy’s Little Helper” on it (which I love, as does my dad) as well as featuring the classic “Paint It, Black” on the American version, which also removes the tedious 11-minute “Going Home.” This album’s also interesting because it has some sort of concept, I suppose in the same way that an album like Aesop Rock’s “Labor Days” has a concept, though that’s one of the best albums of all time and this… I’m getting ahead of myself. It’s basically just endless pessimism as a concept I’m pretty sure. And that’s all well and good, but that basically makes them the evil version of early Beatles, because they take just as much from much better and more capable Black artists as the Beatles used to, but it’s so much less competent (which in most cases is saying something because some of that shit wasn’t good at all). As I mentioned, “Mother’s Little Helper” is superb, but it falls off fast from there, and there’s not much else interesting on the album. It’s just a slog of Mick Jagger trying to be interesting and instead being boring if not grating. I don’t know. It gets to you after a while, how nothing this album is without its highs. Still not bad though. 6.9/10

A couple of all timers are from this album, Paint it Black and Mother’s Little Helper.

Not wow’ed. This is my third Rolling Stones album and I’m starting to come to the conclusion that this band just isn’t for me.

my new favorite band

Pretty good Stones album. Not all the songs were winners, but still an enjoyable listen overall. Paint It Black would have been my favorite Track, but I listened to the UK version so I will not count it. Favorite Track - Mother's Little Helper Least Favorite Track - Lady Jane ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Couple of great songs…the rest a disappointment.

Middle of the road. One hit song. Not so hyped about the Rolling Stones.

It was alright, I dont think im much of a Rolling Stones fan It seems.

I generally like the 'Stones, but this isn't a strong album.  This is a few classic singles accompanied by a bunch of filler.  What was with that 11-minute Going Home song?  There were about 7 unnecessary minutes in there. Liked Songs Added: Mother's Little Helper Lady Jane Under My Thumb Out Of Time What To Do

After the genius that is Paint It, Black, the rest of the album falls remarkably short to me. There is way too much repetition within the songs and nothing manages to capture the essence of what makes the first song so great. It's like two completely diffferent bands. I didn't find this album enjoyable, especially the final song, 'Going Home'. How long was his commute? 2/5 Paint It, Black 10 Stupid Girl 4 Lady Jane 3 Under My Thumb 5 Doncha Bother Me 4 Think 6 Flight 505 4 High And Dry 3 It's Not Easy 4 I Am Waiting 3 Going Home 2

Paint it Black was good. I'm surprised at how much I didn't enjoy this considering the Rolling Stones.

The stones are a good band, iconic and classic. That being said, this album was an above average record for the 60s, I personally like them more than athe Beatles.

Paint it Black is in my top 3 Stones songs and that gives this album some extra points for me as some of the other songs like Stupid Girl don't stand up to the test of time. I do appreciate that this is an album where the Stones found their sound and that's cool.

One of many reasons why the Stones are legends

Rolling Stones albums are just so shitty, One or two good songs with a lot of filler.

'sfine. Honestly this album really feels like the attention was on the first four songs, and the rest are more of the plodding 'okay' blues numbers that The Rolling Stones do. I respect The Rolling Stones a lot but I'm not a superfan. Decent enough album though.

Creo que nunca serán para mi los Rolling Stones.

Some great hits and some ones I haven’t heard before. I enjoyed this album.

Feels like I should enjoy this more, but besides Paint It Black it’s a bit forgettable

Even in 66, Jagger's voice was annoying. Due to studio tech, the recording is thin with a notable absense of kick and bass. Apart from Paint It Black - one of the few original tracks they wrote, this is a work of honky tonk Americana with little subtlety or individuality.

Solid one from the Rolling Stones,

Not among my favorite Stones albums.

temazos, banco 10/10

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 sucks, and if you manage to get a version without Paint it Black then it really blows ass

Mucho rock, actitud y ADN Stones. No me parece su mejor álbum, pero si se siente que es el camino que los lleva a conseguirlo. Under my Thumb.
