Aftermath

Goddamn these dudes really hated women! Loved tail, hated women. Were getting laid like nobody’s business but lord protect the one girl that told Mick “not right now, love,” one Sunday afternoon. I mean, I also got mad when I was 23 girls told me “not right now, love,“ but I don’t think I hated them enough to go write and record songs about them that I would sing on a world tour. But then, no one was expecting me to come up with songs to put on albums and sing on world tours. And no one was providing me with an endless supply of pharmaceutical-grade cocaine and mini-skirted girls in every city I stopped in. And it was 1966, the lads hadn’t exactly been raised by second-wave feminists. So I mean I guess I get how it happened. But it is striking. But anyways the music fucking kicks as always. I just love Keith’s guitar, so simple, so versatile, a sponge of a mind for all the kinds of music that had come before on that humble little instrument, whose fingers could wring it all back out in his incomparable distillate. Good job guys. You rocked.

Interesting to hear Baby Stones start to discover themselves. As much as I enjoy Mother's Little Helper, the American version with Paint It Black as Track 1 is a much stronger start.

Je suis une pierre qui roule, je déboule et je perds la boule

Pas aussi fort que leur albums qui suivrons, mais il se défend très bien stand-alone

Paint It Black and Under my Thumb are 5 star songs. Everything else is a very solid 3 stars. Never under. But those 2 are so amazing that the whole thing is a 4.

Banger album, crazy songs

great classic

One of the best first songs ever

Pretty good album Top tracks: Under My Thumb, It’s Not Easy

Great Album

Maschine: Meze 109Pro Mische: in Würde gealtert, viel Hall in den Vocals, unterhaltsame Stereo-Ideen, insgesamt aber wenig umwerfender Impact Mugge: eingängige Melodien und teils interessante Instrumentierung Meinung: 4/5

What a nice surprise - so much richer and varied than the singles that I was aware of. Starting to understand why people are fans.

There’s more to say than I expected. This website takes me to the UK version, when the US version has Paint it Black. Makes me mad. Anyway, I didn’t expect the acoustic song Lady Jane, and the song Going Home is definitely filler (still sounds good). Everything else is 60s (maybe psychedelic) rock. There’s definitely some good songs here. It’s good, but by far not the best Rolling Stones album.

good good

A good early Stones album that show Jagger Richards and Jones songwriting and arrangement development. Under My Thumb is the hilight for me and Mother's Little Helper with its use of sitar is a classic too and Lady Jane is a beautiful ballad with an English folk music feel. As for deeper album cuts stand outs are; Stupid Girl, Out of Time and I am Waiting. Now the US version subs in Paint it Black at the expense of Mother's Little Helper Pait It Black is agrguably The Stones greatest achievement, so the US version would absolutely be 1/2 star higher and if there was a version with both songs included that would be a no brainer 5 star album. 4 stars

I liked this more than I thought I would!

Never been crazy about the Stones, but I really liked this. A pleasant surprise!

Classic Stones. Not as hard-edged as their best stuff, but still a great bluesy pop album. Last song is a little excessive but everything up to that point is tight and sharp. Best song: Paint It Black

Cowboy, morning energy boost

I really dug this one! The swagger-y 60's feel is totally right up my alley. I really think Under My Thumb is one of the Stons' best tracks ever and both Mother's Little Helper and Paint It Black are really incredible also. The rest of the album is a bit more meandering but it was really 'in my wheelhouse' meandering! It's a 4 for me, though it probably just squeaks over that line.

Very similar sound throughout, but still very good overall.

I don’t think I knew what Rock is. Seems to be some sad songs on the guitar

Pretty good. Nice and smooth, a bit of jangle

A pesar de ser uno de sus primeros trabajos, donde aún no definían por completo su sonido definitivo, los Stones logran construir un LP sumamente atrapante y divertido, que juega con ritmos y melodías duras a través de paisajes psicodélicos fuertemente inspirados por los prózeres del rock and roll. Una de las piezas que comienza a cimentar el estátus de leyenda de la agrupación liderada por Mick Jagger.

Good album, a few good songs. Not one of the best stones albums but definitely a good one.

Great Stones LP, They began to catch their Stride with some Great originals. Under My Thumb is one of their best

4+ Erste wirkliche Berührung mit der Musik von Rolling Stones. Sehr lässiges Album, für 5 Sterne müsste ich es wsl öfters hören, hat aber definitiv potential für 5.

The Stones are truely one of the greatest. The album features iconic tracks like „Paint It Black“ and „Under My Thumb“. I like the influence of blues and country vibes in their songs. Personal Top3 in no order: Paint It Black Going Home Doncha Bother Me

Der unverwechselbare Sound der Rolling Stones wurde hier mit Sicherheit bedeutend mitgeprägt. Verglichen mit dem neuesten Album ist es interessant zu hören, wie sich so manches in den letzten 57 Jahren trotzdem verändert hat. 8.9/10

pretty good nice one

The beginning of a great band! Being the first album with only original songs, I think this one aged very well. With a strong start, it develops into a promising jazzy and bluesy rock & roll record.

This is a pretty good album, some absolute great tracks for sure. A lot of blues influence, and a few songs I had never heard. All in a solid Stones Album

4.1 The stones start to come into their own in my opinion.

Funny story, I've never talked to our met anyone from the UK who loves The Beatles, but all of them seem to love The Rolling Stones. The Beatles were the first group I really got into, and I've never fully gotten into the Stones. But I really like a lot of their songs. I listened to the UK version of this album, based on matching the cover art shown here. It's missing the song Paint it Black from the US version, but it makes up for it with Out of Time and other songs I didn't already know. I was already familiar with Mother's Little Helper, Out of Touch, and Out of Time, but the rest of the album was pretty good. I didn't love it, but it has some great songs and nothing annoyed me. So, I think 4 stars is appropriate.

Under my thumb, lady jane and paint it black top 3

I think I listened to the wrong one. The cover was blue. Anyway I quite enjoyed it

Really enjoyed it. Most of the songs had great rhythm. Above average 7.6

Wow, two Stones albums in one week. This album is a pretty solid one but they definitely hadn't hit their stride yet. You can hear them transitioning out of the more cover-heavy period and into differentiating themselves with more unique instrumentation. I don't think this is necessarily a groundbreaking album for them but it is good, especially given their evolving sound. I think I'd give this a 3.5 if I could but considering I gave their debut album 4/5, I feel like I can't rate this one lower (though I probably should have gone 3 on their debut). Standout Tracks: Lady Jane, Under My Thumb, Doncha Bother Me, Out of Time, It's Not Easy, I Am Waiting, Think

First Stones album I've listened to all the way through. Sounds like what I would expect a Rolling Stones album to sound like. Pretty good album with some weak spots in it.

7/10 imo

A decent album with some major high points. The opening track, “Mother’s Little Helper”, does set the bar a little too high as it’s probably the best track on the record. There’s some pretty standard blues rock and a few other crackers. Worthy of four stars.

Bi-polar albums where the songs are either 5-4s or 1s. Theres more by a 2.5:1ish ratio so theres more 5-4s and thats why this album is getting 4 stars. I would not sit through the entire album again but I'd gladdly listen to certain songs in the album *cough* paint it black *cough*. Low 4

listened 2x. once at night and again next day during work. it starts out strong and several songs that are new to me as far as I can remember. 4 star.

Quite a pleasant album to listen. Starts strong with Mother's Little Helper and Stupid Girl, but it stays consistently nice throughout (except for Going Home, which could have been a good five minutes shorter).

Favourite songs: "Paint it, Black", Under My Thumb, High and Dry, Mother's Little Helper, Stupid Girl, Doncha Bother Me, Think Least favourite songs: Lady Jane 4/5

4.1 - Solid pre-peak Stones showcasing their mussed up swagger. "Under My Thumb" is a classic, and one that hasn't been completely ruined by classic rock radio. "Paint It Black" has lost a little of that sheen given that it's become the soundtrack of the Vietnam War (along with "Fortunate Son"). Still a banger. The rest are soulful, blues-based tracks.

UK version has 4 more tracks, US version has paint it black

Yeah pretty good. Quite easy listening compared to what I expected. Loads of nice fluffy guitar bits and repetitive lyrics.

There were some very good songs on here, and I liked how diverse the sound was from one song to the next. A lot of the songs had great lyrics, too. Some songs didn't speak to me, though, and some were a little silly.

I really liked mother little helper. Amazing song. I wasn’t expecting it to be as experimental as it was, which I really appreciate. Great album, though they should have put the singles on them.

Our 6th Rolling Stones album and the 5th to get 4 stars (one only got 3 stars from me). Not much more to say. It's good music. They were a good band. Some more variety would be preferable though.

Perhaps the best early Stones album, but nowhere near the golden age 68-74

There are some classic rock songs on this album - "Paint It, Black", "Under My Thumb", "Mother's Little Helper".

Many big Stones hits on this. Also arguably when they embraced some more creative elements and joined the '60s counter culture. Great variety. I actually like the lesser known songs better than the big hits.

Heard before: some This must be right about when they embraced being the heel. The first four tracks (plus Paint It Black on the US version) are undeniably great, and Mick is at his most dickish. It's tough to live up to those singles though; side two is a bit of a letdown. Even still, you can hear the ambition and the first blush of the seedy psychedelia to come. Top tracks: Mother's Little Helper, Under My Thumb, I Am Waiting

Doe jezelf een plezier en zoek de US versie, want de UK versie mist de grootste hit. Zeker een aardig album, maar de Stones zijn zo'n band waarbij ik eigenlijk liever een compilatiealbum met hits hoor. Ze hebben genoeg leuke nummers, maar die zijn verspreid over iets van 300 albums. Bij dit album voelt de Side B dan ook als een haffel schuimpinda's die moesten zorgen dat de Side A zonder risico verscheept kon worden. Tussen de 3 en 4 sterren. Ik klik op 4, want vergeleken met de drek die je in deze lijst af en toe tegenkomt is dit eigenlijk toch wel een eenvoudig maar gezellig feestje.

8/10

one of the best stones album in my book with one of the greatest rock songs of all time! 4.5 imo

A good earlier Stones album, but not at the level of what was to come. Still a step forward toward that with all original songs for the first time. very good, but not one of their essentials

I’ve never heard this album in full before, but there were lots of previews of what The Rolling Stones would be doing a few years later, so it feels like the album of a band in transition. “Doncha Bother Me”’s beginning sounds like “It’s only Rock and Roll”. “Going Home” feels like a preview of “Midnight Rambler”. The songs themselves were pretty good, but this band has 4 or 5 other 5 star albums and this is not one of them.

A bit Beatles-y, a bit punky, and features Under my Thumb. Very solid.

8/10 great album, listened on a train and my audio was spotty. Internet went out and a ton of notes got deleted Solid album with a lot of great topics from addiction, fame and love. Such a solid album honestly. The album as a whole can get repetitive for me around tracks 4-8. Sometimes I couldn’t recognize a song had switched. Mothers little helper - crazy intro to an album, hope it sets the themes they’ll cover for the rest Stupid girl - I mean it’s funny, but I think by the end I was sick of hearing LOOK AT THAT STUUUUPID GIRLLLL. Lady Jane - feels like a very ancient poem, as a song I wouldn’t listen to much but this in the album is a cool change that keeps everything fresh. Under my thumb - eh, can’t explain why but this one bored me. Doncha bother me - I think this style of music just bores me

This is my first time really listening to Rolling Stones and I’m honestly amazed at how much I enjoyed it. Some of these larger than life bands disappoint after a lifetime of hearing about how amazing they are, but I loved this one.

Líka mjög conflicted hérna. Það sem Brian gerir er mjög töff. Lögin eru sum ljómandi góð, en önnur svo sem síðri. Textarnir á köflum ágætir en öðrum stundum misogynísk skelfing. Þessi fer langt á nostalgíunni, en ekki alveg leið.

Better than I thought it’d be. I’ll come back to some of the songs.

Earliest Stones to sound like the Stones. Solid.

Classic stones - not the most dynamic recording but great songs nonetheless. 3.9/5

Сначала было скучновато, Going Home лишь позабавила, но потом Rolling Stones разогнались, поймал волну, доставили небольшое удовольствие. Чувствуется напор и задористость в их песнях. 4 звезды.

Not the best Stones album but good

Not my favorite but still the stones

Enjoyed the hits, played 40 Licks after, then played Biggest Mistake.

3.75

Attractive if slightly dull album soured by extreme woman-hatred.

Has a few good songs, but a lot of the songs are just dreary bluesy messes. 'Paint It Black' is definitely the best song here and the most off-piste compared to the rest of the album.

A better selection of original stones songs. Some of them are still too rooted in other people's music.

Pretty good! Some all-time classics on this one. I’m not picky when it comes to the Stones.

Under my thumb probably my favourite track perhaps unsurprisingly, but the 11min Going Home was unexpected for the 60s good listen overall

Huh, this is an interesting one. So, the main difference between the UK release and the US release is only the addition of one the Stones' greatest and most popular tracks. That would have been my immediate favourite of the album, and through the power of streaming I could have chosen the US release to play. However I'm from the UK so I decided to listen to the UK release (Plus that is the earlier of the two releases, and they are a British band.) This was a nice adventure of rock, folk and blues from an instrumentation and riffs standpoint. Pleasant to listen to with a bit of everything. However, lyrics-wise, holy misogyny, Batman. I understand it's a 60s album but surely it wasn't all like this? I guess it helped affirm the Stones' "bad-boy" image in contrast to The Beatles. I thought the folk-rock style of Mother's Little Helper was great, providing a commentary about the popularity of prescribed tranquilisers to housewives, and the dangers of addiction and overdose that could come from it. Some nice thoughtful lyrics that were unfortunately completely overshadowed by most of the subject matter afterwards. That Eastern-flavoured 12-string electric guitar riff is so memorable though. An excellent song on a pretty great album. Favourite: Mother's Little Helper

It’s cool, I went us version as there’s paint it black which is definitely an essential, the first side was mostly great then side 2 was a bit non but nothing bad and going home is cool. 4/5

Classic

Tremendo disco de los Rolling que estuve escuchando mucho últimamente. No llega a ser top de ellos, pero tiene temas clave.

Cool album. Good tunes. Enjoyed the whole album.

I’ve never really listened to early Stones before besides the hits. I have to say I find both versions more enjoyable than the likes of early Beatles. There is personality in spades. The UK version is a little long, suffers from not having paint it black but feels more like a thought out album starting in psychedelic territory and ending more traditional blues oriented. The American version is short, has Paint it Black but doesn’t really gel quite as well as an album. I agree that their later work is better and more important but this is a solid album which is slyly altering the sound of English Pop Blues.

Incredible album, I do feel as if the US version is stronger solely by the inclusion of Paint it Black. 4/5. Favorite track: Paint It Black

It's a good album, and definitely feels like the Stones coming into their own. It doesn't have the same level of impact as The Beatles or Beach Boys albums at the time, and lacks as many distinct hits as either band had. But overall enjoyable, and The Rolling Stones are clearly an important band.

Brilliant album, easy listening Stones right through

Two of my favorite Stones songs are on this album. Under my thumb and mother's Little helper. I like the bluesy songs I like a bunch of these songs actually this is a good album.

The highs of Paint it black and under my thumb weighs up for some of the really crappy songs. A selection of pretty good tracks inbetween the highs and lows. It feels like Stones is one of the most uneven of the giant rock bands of yore. Tried both versions and prefer the American. It has paint it black and lacks the terrible “Take it or leave it”. First time I enjoyed a stones album. I’d previously listened to some of their first albums without finding anything worth returning to.

This was nice and relatively new to me. The Stones at their early brilliance, I’ve a new appreciation for Mother’s Little Helper, and Under My Thumb is still one of my favourites.

Nice bit of harmonica, the lyrics are questionable. Perhaps most on the grooviest tune under my thumb

I think this is a great Stones album. Just starting to flex their independence and not yet pretentious. This and the years to follow are the sweet spot in the Rolling Stones catalogue.

Not every one of these songs slaps, but most of them do, and Keef and Mick are finding their songwriting chops and Brian is playing some weird instruments, and the psychedelia is just about creeping in and the blues is giving way to rock. A fun fun album.

This swings and stings, and jukes quite a bit, too. There's a likable crispness and near professionalism to what they're doing here that elevates proceedings and points the way to greater achievements on the horizon (including those that would work out to be much artier but also more ragged and considerably less professional). "Stupid Girl" is silly and bubblegum-y, the dog of a pretty strong bunch. The blues are just valid enough, "Doncha Bother Me" the most so, though the juke-y "High and Dry" points to their future success with variations on basic country blues. "Lady Jane" is generally a successful experiment, but it's likely best that they didn't too much of this because braggart-swaggery Mick (see "Under My Thumb") is more convincing. "I Am Waiting" and "Out of Time" are also represenative of Stones' mid-tempo strength. Differences in UK and US versions aside (US being slightly preferred in that "Paint It Black" is a superior song to the crisp but somewhat obvious "Mother's Little Helper"), this is, net-net, awfully good though slightly sub-masterpiece.

JP: Yeah I mean the first track works. Ok this isn't doing anything special for me. Its gonna be a light 4 like a 7.2. Fav Tracks: Paint it Black Under my thumb Least Fav: Overall: Nothing earth shattering, but some decent tracks. its a light 4 (7.2)

Listened to the UK release, so not including Paint It Black. Dear God, this sounds so much like the 60s. It's their first album with only originals, and includes Going Home, which is not only the longest pop song at the time, but also is the first free jam recording song to make it onto an album. I'm starting to see why they got so big. Not as poppy as the Beatles, they were making more genuine musical waves. Nice

Legendary. The greatest band ever.

What a Drag it is to get old….. Classic. One of their best! BUT, I hate it when songs from UK and US versions are not the same. I considered both versions in my ratings. Listening to just one over the other would result in a lower rating. Standouts: Mother's Little Helper, Lady Jane, Under My Thumb, Out of Time, Paint it Black (U.S. Version of the Album) Others: Stupid Girl, Going Home 4.5/5

Great rockin album and very catchy

4/5

Another sound Rolling Stones album. I hate that forty licks compilation, has taken away some of the enjoyment from these stones albums, skipping some songs because i've heard them so often. Proper enjoyed it from Doncha Bother Me onwards, all tracks i'd never heard and were decent.

Paint it Black - Could hear this everyday and it would never bore me. Classic and also my favourite Guitar Hero song to play back in the day. Stupid Girl - Organs to kick it off, great. Organs should be in all songs in some capacity. Weird fairground vibes with what should be an annoying chorus but it works. Lady Jane - nice change of pace. Is it about women or drugs? Under My Thumb - Another cracker. Is there a Xylophone? Sounds well. Doncha Bother Me - Now we are in the world of slide guitaring blues. Boss song. A nice treat with earphones. Think - Decent melody but the weakest song up to now which is a compliment to the tracks up to now. Flight 505 - This song makes me realise that I should just stay in on the weekend playing on the PS5 with a cuppa. No need to rash decisions to fly off somewhere because there's a good chance I'll end up fucking dead. High and Dry - More bluesy again. Harmonica making a nice appearance. A good ol' knee slapper. It's Not Easy - Okay song. One of the weakest I think on the album. I like to think the girl is a metaphor for Everton and supporting them is not easy. I Am Waiting - Folky number. Dunno what it's about but it picks up at the 2:00 mark and gets me good. Boss song Going Home - Ending on another bluesy sounding song. It was alright but one of the weakest. It did feel like a fitting end track however.

Classic album

No particular favorite song

A low 4

Yeah, I like this, maybe if I’d grown up with my parents blasting it in the car (like The Beatles or Beach Boys) I might love it. But I was never much of a Stones fan…. It’s just not as good as Pet Sounds or Revolver is it?

Might listen to some again. It was fine.

Couple of classics, paint it black is a great start, starting to sound a little bit dated in parts, but a good listen I wouldn't have played without this. Enjoyable yes, classic, not sure.

Fantastic! 4/5 if you include Paint it Black….

Man under the thumb is so creepy, enjoyed most of the rest

Paar machtig goede nummers. UK versie heeft 4 andere nummers in plaats van Paint It Black

Hear the Stones when they were still lean and mean. It's a little overlong, and we probably could do without the casual misogyny, but it's refreshing to hear the sounds that later became cliche.

Nice

The album has one of the strongest openers of all time with "Paint It, Black" and one can certainly hear the slightly darker tone that the Stones had versus their Beatles contemporaries. Fair enough to say that if it were to come down between them, this reviewer would sway to the Rolling Stones. The remainder of the album matches energy fairly well, with performances by Mick Jagger having a live feel and sound, giving the album a spatial awareness while still featuring their vocals and instrumental prowess. Solid album, definitely one that anyone should hear at least once.

paint it black album

Really cool Stones album. Some of the best music I've heard from them. I was a little surprised at some of the musical directions they went in.

Paint it Black is one of their best songs hands down. The rest of album is decent bluesy rock that they are famous for. Very influential band.

This was good. Interesting that this was a big turning point for the Stones and the type of music they were recording.

Dat Paint It Black op de UK versie ontbreekt is een doodzonde, maar ik reken hem tot het album. Verder goed album, ga m nog wel eens luisteren.

Good old classic rock

Some classic songs and pretty enjoyable. Paint it black is a classic.

Excellent album! Paint it Black is obviously timeless, but so is Under My Thumb and others. Still great.

I don't dislike Rollin stones, just haven't listened to them much. Opening song is good this looks like early stones cause I don't see any of the big hits Ahh so the UK version doesn't have paint it black wild cause that's their biggest song at least imo Solid album I'd listen again

Misogynistic lyrics on many songs made it difficult at times. BUT the unique instrumentation made it quite fun to listen to it.

The Stones were starting to hit their stride here. Always better as a rock and roll band than as the supposed torchbearers of blues music.

o primeiro album que realmente é bom dos stones, começa a ter uma certa psicodelia e as musicas ficam mais pesadas.

Guitars sloppy and space. Everyone rides the bass.

Solid Stones album.

Classic stones

Great!

Brittiska eller amerikanska? Lyssnade dock på båda. Skulle bli en fyra om man finge slå ihop dem. Men samtidigt, det avgör ju jag. Tar ett beslut imorgon.

A solid RS album. Paint It Black is a banger of an opener. Reminds me of Guitar Hero. The best song on Aftermath is definitely Under My Thumb. That one might be one of my top five Rolling Stones' song. The way Mick's voice stretches on the "my" when he says "under my thumb" is cool, and I love the random instrumentation and bounci-ness of that track.

A couple great ones I’d forgotten about. Enjoyed most others.

This an early Stones' album. Apparently the UK version and the US version have different songs. The biggest difference is that the US version has Paint It Black and the UK version does not. The other well known song is Under My Thumb. The album as a whole does not come across as a typical Stones album or at least not in terms of the rock and roll music. I am only giving this album a 4 because of Paint It Black. Otherwise it would be a 3.

love that sixties sound. open, clean, great depth of recording. you can hear the twang and the delta influence but the sound remains theirs. crazy to think this was 1966 and they're still performing the same songs today.

Tranquilize yourself with music and escape the ennui of your safe, boring life. Lace up your boxing gloves and go three rounds in the perennial Battle of the Sexes. And when you’re weary of all that, indulge in a meandering, digressive meditation on what you’ve got and almost lost, and how desperately you want to go back home—a blues theme as old as the hills. As old as your desire. “Flight 505” is the groovy, wonderful fruition of that long pent-up need.

Under My Thumb & Paint It Black are spectacular, but the rest of the album is okay. I do recognize that The Stones are masters at country-rock, and you can hear a little of that here. Solid album.

I prefer the later Stones albums, from Beggars Banquet/Let it bleed onwards - up to Tattoo You.(and missing out the awful Emotional Rescue, obvs). This is pretty good musically, but the subjects are dodgy, to say the least. I doubt it could be released now - it would be considered way too misogynistic and offensive.

Great album from one of the all time great bands, with some absolute classic songs, paint it black, under my Thumb. But a hard one for me to rate, Some will see this as a masterpiece but I see it more as the point when the stones started to get to great, they would go on to make better albums, that unprecedented 4 album run from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street, all of which top this album. Also in comparison to other masterpieces realised in 1966, pet sounds, revolver, blond on blond this album is just not quiet at that level. Maybe harsh if the stones didn’t have better albums and this wasn’t released in 1966 it might have got the full 5 stars.

Rolling Stonesi, bend čiji sam zadnji album slušao iz '73, a prije toga sam ih bome slušao. Zapravo čudno nekako, najviše sam slušao taj njihov poznati Blues Rock koji me najviše i naveo da ih slušam (Beggars Banquet - Let It Bleed), međutim i ovaj je bio u priči. Ne toliko, ali definitivno mislim da je ovo dobar album, prije koji tjedan sam si ga pustio ovako na poslu par puta dok sam radio. Prvi dio albuma, iliti prva strana albuma je bolja od druge.

Zo! Met een opening als Mother's Little Helper zet je je album wel gelijk lekker stevig neer! Zowel muzikaal als wat betreft het onderwerp. We kunnen daarna weer op adem komen en het muzikale geweld van het eerste nummer wordt niet meer geëvenaard. Enerzijds jammer, anderzijds springen de bluesachtige nummers er ook wel lekker uit. Helaas moet ik mij ook af en toe door suffe opvullers als Take It Or Leave It heen bijten.

OK, nothing special, dad's music

Great album with hits and some lesser known great tunes.

Yes it was good, a bit oddly put together and going home was too long for sure. However pretty much every other tune worked and I loved the sound they went for here. A great record.

They have better stuff, which is why it only seems right to rate this a 4 and keep the 5 for their best work

It was good to listen to the album when the Stones stopped being a coverband and started making their own. Brian Jones definitely has a good influence on it, but not all songs are as strong as others. A good debut of their own songs, that's for sure

I have listened to some of these songs a few times, so there is a nice nostalgic feeling to this album.

Seemed like a lot of lady hate but still a solid album

This is the album the Stones really come into their own and begin to produce some really good records. Some of the stand-out tracks would become classics (Paint It Black, Under My Thumb...I listened to the US version) and it's a solid collection of songs, though there still a few throwaway tracks. I wouldn't consider it in their A+ classic albums, but definitely an A.

A snapshot of UK rock and pop in that pre-summer of love mid-sixties era. A very English album in places with the madrigal-lite rubbing shoulders with the Stones doing The Kinks on Mother's Little Helper. Still beholden to the blues, tho.

Great flow. Love the early Stones.

This is the breakthrough Stones record. It contains some of my favourite songs of theirs, such as Out of Time, Mothers Little Helper, Under My Thumb, Lady Jane and my favourite on the album - I Am Waiting (love the scene from Rushmore!). However I don’t really care too much for the rest of the bluesy country tracks and never did. Also I absolutely hate the fact that there are two different versions and only the US one has one of the best songs of all time, Paint It Black. 4/5 for all the great tunes but not consistent enough for 5/5 for me

HL: “Lady Jane”, “Mother’s Little Helper”, “Out of Time” October 31, 2022 🎃

Drinks bailed but the rosh hashanah was fun

International version is better. The stereo sound is a bit weird sometimes..

I said Exile was probably their best, most consistent album. I'm still not sure if that's right. There's some real stonkers on here and the potential of the band is really showing. A cracker of an album.

Slaps

Vintage Stones. You can hear the blues influence heavy here. My favorite Stones song, Under My Thumb, is a perfect summary of this album and their early work. There's not much else to be said other than the fact this is must listen music for anyone.

Starts with best stones song, but rest of album is softer more folky. The mixing and use of stereo is fun. but a bit distracting at times (guitar is way to soft in much because of this mix)

Blues base. High and low points, picked 3 good songs to learn. Paint it black 😎

Early Stones is always interesting to hear.

classic stones

Some outstanding but some fillers.

First listened to this on reel to reel that my dad brought back from Vietnam. Funny thing is when I played them as a kid, my dad would yell from the other room "turn that noise down". Also was my first intro to the Beatles, Manfred Man, Mamas and Papas...

8/4/2022 - ALBUM #189 Today's Album: "Aftermath" (UK Version) by The Rolling Stones - So far in my exploration of The Rolling Stones, I went from disliking them in my review of their ‘72 release, Exile On Main St. for not being very interesting for the time, to somewhat reconsidering them in my review of ‘68’s Beggars Banquet. So what do I think of their even earlier work, 66’s Aftermath? I think that this album hit me at the perfect point in my music discovering journey. Listening to the early work of the Beatles and some of the peak albums of Bob Dylan’s career around 1965, I realize that this album came out before any of the albums by the Beatles that really pushed the sound of rock and exists in a time where the blues reigned supreme, and after you understand that bit of history and place yourself in the time period this was created in, the experimentation the Stones were trying on this album becomes far more impressive. For instance, the 11 minute track Going Home is noteworthy for it’s (at the time) adventurous length for a and dramatic progression for a pop rock band. The track Mother’s Little Helper also opens the album on a fairly experimental songwriting note, with allusions to moms pill popping to keep their 20th century family satisfied. I enjoy the fairly unapologetically sexist songs Stupid Girl and Under My Thumb for being so upbeat despite the rude lyricism. Lady Jane is a fairly interesting song for it’s classical composition style and delicate lead vocals and I like the closer What To Do with it’s beach-boys-like background vocals and overall carefree vibe. None of the songs together create a real sense of cohesion across the record and even that aforementioned ending track ends in a pretty unsatisfying fade-out, but I think this album still flows from track to track in a way that isn’t too out of the ordinary. I think this album also has a decent problem with the second half feeling a bit more bloated and uninteresting, but given the close to hour of music on this thing, I think it does a fine job filling the time. Overall, this is a fairly enjoyable album by The Rolling Stones that innovates on a lot of the sounds at the time while still maintaining the youthful chaos that the stones were known for back then. Give this one a listen if you dig 60s music or enjoyed Beggars Banquet. Highlights: Mother’s Little Helper, Under My Thumb, Goin Home, What To Do Score: 7.25/10 A slightly bloated, but innovative and explorative Rolling Stones album from the mid 60s.

I like the way 70s-era Stones is seeping into this one.

I give it a 4, it's a good album. Before I listened to this I listened to Beggars Banquet and I think they're neat. My favorite is Mother's Little Helper, since it completely caught me off guard with it's dark lyrics.

I have an idea in my head about who The Rolling Stones are but after listening to a few albums I’m starting to realize they defy classification. This had a very 60s rock/pop feel and it’s as good as anything I’ve heard in that genre. It doesn’t really fit my image of them though. Still pretty good stuff. 3.75 stars.

Some gems of songwriting and the next steps in song craft for the Stones. But also a lot of filler

Listened to the US version (the one with Paint It Black (the superior version)). A lot of the lyrics seem like they haven't aged the best. Also could have gone without that 11-minute track. Other than that, it's very enjoyable.

Paint it Black is one of the best ever. The rest is a good blend of styles and songs. I'm more of a stones fan now.

I never knew how misogynistic The Rolling Stones were. Sure, they were musically influential but damn.

Some great songs, really enjoyed it.

Javaisjamais entendu, plus doux que leur autre album mais ca sonne tres rock and roll, j’aime beaucoup. 4.25

Mick Jagger may be a shitty human being with some questionable lyrics aimed at his girlfriend, Chrissie Shrimpton, but this album is still great.

le monde si under my thumb avait d'autres paroles

Weird discrepancy between the UK and American version. A Stones album with great other tracks beyond the singles.

Classic music.

Fun to hear the transition. Like still some of that poppy stuff they did in early 60s but you can hear the transition to more bluesy stuff and Jone's influence with different instruments.

This is the third Rolling Stones album that I've had so far and was the one I enjoyed the most (vs Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed)

Evidence of Stones expanding their palette in interesting ways – some credible, others less so. “LadyJane” Is most intriguing case in point. I took it seriously and probably found it beautiful upon first hearing it in late 70s, early 80s, but now it sounds contrived (probably because Stones abandoned such artiness in favor of … well, so many other alternatives.. Mick’s yelping, growling and whooping now sound more like a valid interpretation of the blues, and there are many cool guitar licks and accents. “Goin’ Home” is great and points the way forward to “Love in Vain” and the longer-form jams to come. Solid from top to bottom and one feels the gathering storm, even if this remains sub-masterpiece. Note the UK and US versions have different tracks -- the former opens with “Mother’s Little Helper” (latter with “Paint It Black”) and has more songs.

I enjoyed this, but not a ton. I like the Stones, but they can be pretty same-y. Overall, I'd say it's a 3.75/5, so I'll round up.

I went with the UK version, since that’s the cover reflected here. But I know the US version is still in print and prefered by plenty. Anyway, I understand why this album is considered important for the Stones. It’s around this point that the Jaggers and Richard songwriting team really started to take off, and they started to cut back on their R&B covers. But there’s still plenty of those as well, and they’re all mostly fine, although I’d consider little of this to be essential. Their best stuff here are all-timers, but a lot of it is fluff meant to fill up an LP. I do give them credit for ending side A with Goin’ Home. Most artists would save that for the very end, and I believe they did in the US version. B-

In a parallel universe of beards and eye patches this would have been The White Album. Misogyny aside it’s a near miss. Ironically misogyny included and it’s a miss.

At times you can really hear the green shoots of what was to come. Some classic stones tracks on this.

Love the stones- this album I kinda zoned out on- maybe not their best

classic

What a drag it is getting old, indeed. Stupid Girl didn't age well; we can agree with that. This has all the sounds of Stones. Rock, blues, baroque, rockabilly, and great riffs. But this is not peak Stones. This is also not their most listenable album. As far as one of the more mainstream albums on this list, it's not a home run at all. I do love how Tarantino used Out of Time in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood though. I am Waiting is another clever song that is buried deep on this album. This is a 3.5, and I will round up because while it's not top Stones, it would be for almost every other band.

very good one

8/10. Pretty good, would listen again. Paint it Black is a great way to start an album, and while it gets a bit weaker towards the B-side, it's still pretty pleasant.

So good.

La photo indique la version UK, mais pour moi, c'est la version US la meilleure à cause de l'inclusion de ce qui est selon moi la meilleure pièce des Stones, Paint It Black. C'est la première pièce qui m'a vraiment fait accrocher au groupe et qui m'a poussé à explorer les autres albums. La face A est vraiment excellente. Il y a Going Home où on aurait pu se passer du défi de faire une chanson vraiment trop longue, mais bon, c'est la dernière alors on peut y survivre.

Some excellent tracks on this. Faded away towards the end.

Great album! A bit heavy on the honkey tonk feel, but a strong Stones album nonetheless.

Muy bueno

decent stones sounding stones

Probably worth it to mention that I've never been much of a Stones fan. So there's nothing outside of maybe "Gimme Shelter" that ever gives me chills or demands listening. Having said that, it's pretty clear this is an important historical rock document - the album where the Stones became The Stones™ in a lot of ways; first one consisting of all originals, first one recorded in stereo; more usage of different instruments (largely due to Brian Jones' influence). There are some all-time hits on this album [depending on which version: the UK version doesn't have "Paint It Black" while the US version is missing "Mother's Little Helper" - both classics] which makes it worthwhile. And even though they're not really my favourites, I feel like this is too important to not give a 4 star rating to - inarguably one of the 2 or 3 most recognizable and influential rock bands in history with their first proper original album. Even if some of it sounds incredibly dated, it's certainly worth a few listens at least. 7/10 4 stars

There are awesome famous songs on this albums, but a lot of them are not the classic Stones sound we come to know in the 70s. The rest is blues that is good but nothing exceptional. Good 60s album, but not quite a Stones album just yet.

Good album, very beatles-eque with a blues touch. Not a real bad song but also not a lot of song standing out very positively

I love the classic 60s pop vibes mixed with blues on a lot of these songs, sounds like Led Zeppelin must have listened to this album a lot, definitely hear things on here that they would do later on.

Nice variety of sounds on this album. Would love to have a mono version. These stereo recordings from the 60s are hard to enjoy.

I like this era Stones. Hadn't listened to this in a while if ever. Nice mix of their sounds

The link that I used from this site sent me to the UK version. Which straight up doesn't have paint it black on it. Which is an absolute bummer. So I said fuck it and listened to both of them. Paint it black is an absolute banger of a song. Mothers little helper proves that Suburban house wives have had mental health issues for the last 60 years. Under my Thumb is real fucking weird.

The first Rolling Stones album I have listened to from start to finish which I think surprise most people I know. I've always been a huge Beatles fan so I would hear constant debates on which band was the better of the two. This led me to directly compare both throughout most of my life, and I definitely felt that the Beatles were the more talented, unique, and fun band (and still do). Although I have never considered myself a huge fan of the Stones, I enjoy their style and can think of quite a few songs that I think are fantastic which made me excited to give this one a go. Overall, I felt Aftermath was a really good set of songs and exactly what I would expect from a Rolling Stones' album featured on this list (mostly solid blues rock with some experimental elements). I thought that the album started off super strong, and while there were some songs that I could have done without towards the middle, it ended up being a great and fun listen. My immediate favorites were Under My Thumb, Flight 505, and I Am Waiting which were all pretty upbeat. I found the album to be at its weakest when it slowed down which thankfully didn't happen too often. I did think that the last track was a VERY underwhelming closer as I was surprised once the album ended since it didn't give that impression at all. In short, I enjoyed this one enough to be excited for other RS albums that are on this list. While I'm sure this isn't their best work, it was rather enjoyable for what it was. 3.5/5. NOTE: I ended up listening to the UK version since, as a Beatles fan, I know that the US versions don't really count. That being said, I was disappointed that the UK release did not feature Paint It Black as that has always been one of my favorite Rolling Stones tracks since it first appeared on Guitar Hero 3. There is a chance that I would have given this a 4 if it was included as I feel it would have been an amazing opener.

On a basic level, you can’t go wrong with the Stones. They’re an exceedingly talented band and they’re really the gift that keeps in giving. They have a deep catalog full of little gems to discover, many of which aren’t widely heard by casual listeners. The early albums are a bit of a mixed bag, a little overly fixated on mastering American blues. But Aftermath is probably the first album where the Stones really begin to stretch their musical legs. And oooh, Charlie Watts with that first beat crashing in on Brian Jones’ sitar in "Paint It Black," what a way to kick it off. That's one of the best openings to a song you will ever hear and a brilliant way to start an album. The exotic, middle eastern vibe gives this song such a rich sound. It’s one of the few earlier Stones songs that retains its musical power to this day. The rest of the album, although musically ambitious, is kind of all over the place. It comes off like this is a band in search of a sound. You have the dark numbers like "Paint It, Black" and “Under My Thumb,” mixed in with typical Stones bluesy fare like "Doncha Bother Me" and the affected, baroque sounding "Lady Jane." The Stones haven't figured out yet what kind of band they want to be, and it shows. That said, the album is absolutely a solid listen. The songs are crisp and concise, most of them barely clearing the 3-minute mark. The songwriting is dark, insouciant, full of attitude. And musically, the band is really tight. This is the best of the early albums, without a doubt. Fave Songs (U.S. version): Paint It Black, Under My Thumb, Doncha Bother Me, I Am Waiting; Lady Jane

I think I get it now. I understand why The Stones were so big in their day. This album, while feeling very middle-of-the-road today, was stand-out-from-the crowd in '66. Sure, there were other British acts reaching across the pond to make a splash in the US but they were either The Beatles or riding the coattails of The Beatles. The Stones took a different direction - real, old-school blues - and then went further by not pulling punches with the lyrical content. "Mother's Little Helper" and "Stupid Girl" while being almost painfully misogynistic, were certainly not playing around lyrically. I can see why this appealed to the disaffected youth of the time the same way that Sex Pistols, Ice T, or Tool did in later years. Musically, the album is solid. Lyrically, it's solid if a bit dated. The performances, however, are stand out and pull the whole thing up from a middling grade to a solid 4 stars.

4? Maybe a 3.5, but I'm going to err on the side of 4 since it's the Stones and all. i feel like I disregard the Stones a lot as I'm sick of their biggest hits. I forget about their earlier ones that have that old raw rock n roll sound like this one.

The UK version leads off with Mother's Little Helper and doesn't have Paint It Black. The US version leads off with Paint It Black, but omits Mother's Little Helper. The Spotify link here goes to the UK version, which means you miss one of the all time great Stones songs. That's a pretty big swing. Both versions give you the overlong Going Home, which is probably the song that makes McCartney think the Stones were just a great blues cover band, even if they did write all of the songs on both the UK and US versions of this album.

Thankfully Spotify had both the UK and US versions of the album. After listening to the UK version, initially, I thought it was a perfectly good album by the Rolling Stones, but there was something lacking from it to elevate it to the next level. Then I decided to listen to the US version, and instantly found what was missing - "Paint it Black" along with the arrangement and placement of songs throughout the album. It really is amazing what changing around, adding and cutting a few songs does to an overall album sound and flow. I found the US release much tighter and flowed so much better than the UK version. Where the songs had more cohesion as a whole and sonically seemed to make better sense. Best: Paint It Black Worst: What To Do

It’s ok…

Good old rock and roll of the swinging sixties. Couterculture to the counterculture sprinkled with some misogyny, and it rocks.

It's a pretty good album, you could hear the Stones come onto their own here. It could do without the poorly aged songs like Stupid Girl and Under My Thumb but the fact that they sound great is what makes them Stones classics. The boldest thing for them to do is to add an 11 minute track in the middle of the album and it pays off. Pretty good all around. Favorites: Going Home and Out of Time.

Brilliant dirty blues rock from the other invading Brits, the dark undertones of this recording make the Stones feel like the anti -Beatles; but here they are ploughing their own furrough, upsetting the neighbours, upsetting women and causing all kinds of chaos. Under my Thumb is the highlight - Sinister and unsettling. The experimentation with a variety of instruments adds flavour and the drumming of Charlie Watts (RIP) is exemplary.

It's so good to deep dive into the tracks that you don't know. This is the 'dive into commerciality' album - more pop-rock than blues-rock, but it's awesome. Loses 1 star for 'Paint it Black' being on the US release - NOT this UK one. Tune

Tiene grandes canciones pero acá los Stones como que tratan de salir de su zona de confort (rock y blues) y son más experimentales. Y no, a los Stones no les va muy bien que digamos siendo experimentales. Ojo, escuchar la versión inglesa que tiene 14 canciones, la de USA solo 11.

pretty cool, 8/10 kinda wild that people consider this a competitor to Sgt Peppers, when The Beatles were so far ahead of The Rolling stones granted the rolling stones later stuff is also legendary

Some good stuff on here like Mother's Little Helper, Lady Jane, Under My Thumb, I Am Waiting, High and Dry, Flight 505. There's a bit of dross as well mind, especially the long boring jam Going Home. I prefer their two 1967 albums 'Between The Buttons' and 'Their Satanic Majesty's Request', which are similar but better.

Growing up, I was very anti-Stones. Being a huge Beatles fanatic, I felt like the Stones were inferior in every way. I've softened that stance as I've gotten older. I can appreciate the Stones, although I still believe they were overrated and sellouts in many ways. I like this album though, it feels like they were finding their identity as they made it. Some songs sound like they are trying to imitate elements of the Beatles, but others are the Stones finding their own sound. I like the bluesiness of some songs, and impressed that they included an 11 minute song - definitely innovative. Out of Time is a great song. 4 stars.

Good coworking music. Quite classic

I liked this. It's classic. I don't really have much else to say. If I saw this at my record store I would pick it up

Early Stones is a great time warp back to their rudimentary roots, on the bridge from early 60s Rock and roll towards 70s psychedelia.

rolling!

Not their best album but still good.

4/5

4th British / 6th American album of Rolling Stones, 1966. This one was a breakthrough for the band. They became famous as much as The Beatles. "Aftermath" consist entirely of original compositions written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Sound of this album is more experimental than previous.

I like this new direction that they take in this album, some really good classic 60s music here with Out of time, Sweet lady Jane and my fav, Under my thumb. Interesting that the UK version that I listened to on Youtube didn't have Paint it Black. I'll assume that song is on this LP which would elevate this to a 4 star record.

A curious beast, with emphasis on the word "beast". The most popular songs associated with it (Paint It Black, Under My Thumb, Mother's Little Helper), are all in my Rolling Stones top 10, and I adore Out of Time, even though I prefer the Gary Filmore version (seriously, I completely adore Gary Filmore's take on it). And yes, I appreciate the dark paths the Stones explored here: all the snottier to sound, an admirable trait. Prosaically, I just think there's a touch too much filler for this to be a full 5-starrer. I'm practically nitpicking, there's obviously excellent stuff here, but if you go dirty, you'll have fun but you'll probably end up with nits.

Great record with bonafide all-time great singles.

An amazing early Rolling Stones album. It is interesting that the UK version has "Mother's Little Helper" and the US release has "Paint It Black." Both killer songs.

En general creí que iba a suceder algo muy similar a Queen, que el disco entero no iba a ser por completo de mi agrado y que me quedaría con los sencillos. Fue bastante refrescante verme equivocado en mi idea. Excelente disco directo y sencillo de blues y rock and roll; la instrumentación siempre vívida pero sin sobrecomplicar las canciones. El único gran problema que puede tener es esa diferencia entre versiones. Me es impensable que hay una versión sin Paint it Black, que puede ser mi canción favorita del grupo, mientras que a la otra le quitaron 3 canciones... Terminando con 4 canciones de diferencia, ninguna versión que realmente sea por completo la correcta, una corta con el mejor sencillo otra con unas canciones adicionales (aunque Goin Home es un poco sobreindulgente y creo sobra). Fuera de la logística terrible para poder escuchar el disco como un album completo, la música es excelente, los Rolling nunca fueron tan complicados o innovadores pero tampoco les hizo falta en mi opinión.

El link lleva a la versión de UK que cambia Paint It Black por Mother's Little Helper y trae 14 tracks en lugar de 11. La primera versión de mi revisión apuntaba a "diluido" y "un poco de relleno", pero la versión de US me parece maravillosa por Paint It Black y por que recortan 12 minutos (aunque Out Of Time sí me gusta). La mejor es Paint It Black por mucho pero Under My Thumb también es buena.

Siempre he tenido un problema con los Stones: sus rolas, por más buenas que sean, de agarran de una línea y la repiten infinidad de veces. En este disco, aunque me gustaron varias partes, no es la excepción. Desde Mother’s Little Helper y Out of Time, pero sobre todo en a Going Home. Y sí, quizá eso es la influencia del Blues, pero también pasa en canciones menos blueseras. De cualquier manera, no quita que el disco sea muy bueno, especialmente en la enorme adición de nuevos sonidos al repertorio de las bandas de rock de la época. Una lástima que no venga Paint It Black en esta versión del disco, es de mis top de ellos. Ya por último ¿qué diablos con las letras de Stupid Girl y Under My Thumb?

A very strong start, though drags a bit by the end i feel like they were just solid blues/rock songs, though not much at the end stands out. Still enjoyable.

Number 2! Never listened before and again lots of songs I don’t know. Great start with Mother’s Little Helper which I first heard the Tesla cover of. Under my thumb, what a great song and beat.

Early Stones is always a little weird to me. The band sounds big and live here but the production is very much a product of his time. It all sounds great but it also sounds extremely 60s. Lots of good tracks here, and the band is definitely getting a little experimental. And there’s always that little country twang to the early stuff. Rock solid all the way through.

I love this album! But I think you have to give it a 4 because there are better Stones albums that are a definite 5

Not their strongest outing but still fun and some classics

Como si estuviera en Trémolo. Me gusta

Flere fede snce og generelt et godt album. Lyden er måske lige lovlig 60er og nogle af numrene for lange og kedelige 3,5

Good breakthrough album for Stones….. liked it…..

Favorite band ever. Don’t listen to this era of their music as much but it holds up

Rating: 8/10 Best songs: Mother's little helper, Stupid girl, Under my thumb

This is something of a transitory album for The Rolling Stones, as they haven’t completely abandoned being the largely blues influenced band that they were for their early records, but they also aren’t the straightforward rock band we’ve known for decades at this point. Sort of their “Rubber Soul”, since they’re so frequently compared to their contemporaries the Beatles. Dug everything I knew from this album - “Mother’s Little Helper”, “Stupid Girl”, “Under My Thumb”, “I Am Waiting” - and most of the tunes that I was unfamiliar with, save for “Going Home” which goes on for far too long at nearly eleven minutes and arriving in the middle of this record (I listened to the UK version) is an albatross around its neck that prevents me from giving this a full 5 stars rating.

Good stuff !!!

These guys are going places.

This sounds like they have some more musical maturing to experience. It has good tunes but doesn’t hold a candle to sticky fingers or exile. I think the US release (with paint it black and without take it or leave it, out of time, etc) is probably better

Amazing and probably their darkest album.

So there’s two versions of this album. Uk and US. US has paint it black which is a classic but it also has the high hat going constantly on high and dry. UK is a little long and ordered differently. Overall it’s a good early stones album where they still have the blues influences but not their best. I’d say both versions are a 7.7/10

Yes I know this album. It’s a classic.

I was surprised how much of this album sounds like early rock and roll. "Out of Time" is a good example of the older sound. "Goin' Home" gives a taste of the Stones' experimentation with the blues that I believe was part of the origin of the band. The more well known singles ("Mother's Little Helper", and "Under My Thumb") contrast with the rest of the album, having a more advanced sound of Rock and Roll that I most often think of when it comes to the Rolling Stones. This album is at the edge of being "okay", but I think I would listen to it again.

good

I like how ethereal parts of this album sound and how it seems like they’re doing whatever they want and stretching themselves

Sempre achei difícil relacionar Stones com Beatles, contudo esse álbum aproxima as duas bandas para mim. Algumas músicas poderiam facilmente ser dos Beatles com pequenos ajustes, como a primeira do álbum (Mother's Little Helper) e Flight 505.

Great album. Lots of Stones classics

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

8/10 Under my thumb Folk

Quite good and some songs are very original

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

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

sounded familiar, enjoyed it more than i thought!

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

Time unas de más de 5 pero no todas

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?

Fun stuff. Cool perspective.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some real stinkers on this one lads. 3.75

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

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

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.

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

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

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

7/10

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

You probably should listen to this before you die. A sign of what was coming from the stones. Not the best album but I think they did alright form here.

When they hit, they're brilliant. When it misses, oof. 11 minute rambling blues jam is not what I'm talking about. Wildly uneven with moments of brilliance.

Meh

A few notable songs from their catalogue, but mostly kind of forgettable. Unlike some of their better work, this album seems to be stuck in the 60's. 3/5 Might listen again

6/10 Album meh. No es malo pero tampoco tiene algo que me llame demasiado, queda ahi en el medio. Cumple para estar de fondo pero no se si mucho mas

Uk edition

Good listening, no standout tracks

So so

Good lord they were horny early on. Like. Uncomfortably horny.

Good.

I was excited when this album came up and then I found out there are two versions? I had no idea. -1 for no painted black, but its still one of my favorite stones albums.
