I know wild horses and Brown sugar. but overall a decent album. won't listen to it again probably.
The Stones took a pretty sharp turn towards a country-western sound here. Even the main single, Brown Sugar, isn't anywhere near my favourite track of theirs. That doesn't mean there aren't good moments. Can't Hear Me Knocking is a great one, as well as Bitch. It's overall uneven. Sometimes they hit the mark, sometimes they miss, and the misses come off lackluster. 3/5
Idk this sounded like tame
I actually enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I find the Rolling Stones quite annoying and think that they are far too limited to be considered great, however, this did have some variety and some decent enough moments.
Not really my bag, but it’s not horrible. It captures a degree of energy and bounces along at a pace, the drums and guitar both sounding somewhat bombastic at times. Wild horses is overplayed (and been covered to death) but I’m not averse to it still. That said, it doesn’t really hit any particular heights for the duration of the album and so it ends up falling back into the blues rock hole that a lot of other albums on this list have been prone to doing.
Gubbrockigt värre. Hade väl älskat det om jag var gubbe. Nu tyckte jag att det var habilt, men that's about it.
Me gustó, algunas más que otras pero está bueno. Bastante cool, me gustó el mundo blues
Meh. Pure no big on them. Second half much better than the first Top bops: I got the blues Sister morphine Moonlight mile
This challenge has really showed me that Im not a Stones lover. I think they are fine and sometimes quite good, but overall, I just don't get in the groove
1. angsty like fontaines somewhat..? 2. sexy guitar at end of sway 3. LOVE wild horses but i knew it before (also the sundays cover <33) 4. i like the vocals + guitar singing together in can’t you hear me knocking, saxophone at end>> 5. you gotta move very bob dylany idk how i feel abt it 6. bitch makes me wanna move nice trumpets + trombone lowk forgot to write notes for the rest, i remember dead flowers lyrics were unique??
It’s a stones album, artful looseness, to be so loose requires dedicated practice, excellent r n b but monotony creeps in.
Rolling Stones are not my favourite.
Super
An alright album, but I don't think it holds the same swagger it did 50+ years ago. Sure, the hits are good, but they're propping up the rest of the songs. And the cover art winks at something a lot racier than what it actually delivers. You can almost tell what religion he is. My rating: 3/5
I think it’s overrated. Some great songs (especially for the time) but I don’t get why they have so much recognition.
a última é BIZARRA de linda. gostei de algumas muito, mas é bem barulhento, as que não curti não sei se ouviria mais
Not my favorite Stones album but it has a few classics.
Solid Album, could probably go the rest of my life without hearing it again
Quite good.
I swear his bulge already came up.
Somewhere around Slippery When Wet.
These musicians and arrangements are so good, but unfortunately there is just something I hate about Jagger's voice. The slow tracks that don't get radio play were fun to discover.
3/5 Brown Sugar mejor canción
Bitch is a good song
Not sure about the first song…
JL : 3, I Got The Blues
For Rolling Stones-mid
Boas músicas mas não faz muito meu estilo.
I like the stones but this album kind of got boring. I was also really hung and just on a long walk.
Sure are a lot of unnecessary Rolling Stones albums on this list. This isn’t one of them, but I think I could’ve done without a couple of the others.
low 3 i really want to be a massive stones fan im serious. their singles are so good. yet here we are on their most acclaimed album and most of it is rock slop. its well produced and decent enough, i like having it on, but sorry boys its a 3. seriously how is "i got the blues" even a song...
Wild Horses is my favourite … and the rest is pretty good too.
The Rolling Stones are one of those bands who are extremely famous but I have never gotten around to listening to their music. Although it is just one album, Sticky Fingers gives me relief in knowing that I wasn’t missing out.
This is the album with Wild Horses on it - one of the top Stones songs, IMHO. Sister Morphine is interesting and better than average. But the rest of the album is just "plain old Stones." Of course, run-of-the-mill Stones blows most other band's best away, but still... When you are legendary, the bar just has to go up. It would probably get 3.5 stars, but I am docking them a half star for being the Stones and giving me less than their best.
This is an extremely instantly recognisable album but when it arrived on my list and before I checked I couldn’t tell you the title of any track on it. This tells you a lot about my indifference towards The Rolling Stones. I know all their big hits and the name of every member past and present but never became a big fan like millions have worldwide. The Rolling Stones like The Beatles have always been around since I was a young boy but never affected me in the same way dozens of other groups from that era have done and continue to do so. Listening to the album today has not changed that view and was never going to do so but at least I learnt that Brown Sugar (which is a good song) is the lead track on the album. 3/5 27/8/26
Jeg er tydeligvis på team Beatles.
Das erste Stones-Album in dieser Liste, oder? Für mich waren die Stones immer eine Singles-Band. Ihre Alben bevölkern zwar regelmäßig Listen wie dieser, aber ich bekomme selten Lust, diese auch wirklich anzuhören. Vielleicht liegt es daran, dass viele Stones-Songs für mich nicht diese meisterhaft-durchdachten Kompositionen sind, an denen über Monate gefeilt wurde und die sich voneinander abgrenzen wollen, sondern Jam-Ideen, die einen bestimmten Vibe transportieren, der einfach Spaß macht. "Brown Sugar" oder "Bitch" sind solche coolen Rocker, die wie aus dem Ärmel geschüttelt klingen und es wahrscheinlich auch sind. Ersterer ist natürlich ein Klassiker, den ich quasi auswendig kenne, aber andere Songs könnten dieses Level auch erreichen, wenn man sie nur oft genug hört. Wirklich besonders und herausragend ist für mich eigentlich nur das berührende "Wild Horses" sowie das jam-lastige "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (das Saxophon <3). In der zweiten Hälfte lief hier dagegen viel an mir vorbei, ohne irgendwelche Spuren zu hinterlassen. Den Blues "You Gotta Move" fand ich sogar ziemlich fürchterlich. Gemessen an den Erwartungen muss ich daher sogar auf 3 Sterne heruntergehen. Ich verstehe wirklich nicht, wieso ausgerechnet dieses Album so in den Himmel gelobt wird.
Not bad, I find TRS a bit hit and miss but this album was consistently OK
Well here we are the first actual Rolling Stones album… brown sugar is a terrible song I don’t care if there is nuance this is a terrible song that popularized openly racist iconography on the surface. It’s that same thing of being edgy for the sake of it. The album cover is a dick print what was I supposed to expect. Wild horses is good. I like that one a lot. I think my main issue with this is that its highs are towards the end and it’s unfortunately not enough to allow me to endure the whole project. Wild horses is between brown sugar and can’t you hear me knocking and sway is not enough of a palette cleanser for me. I also think that wild horses is one of the greatest 70s song ever. That’s the problem for me. The Rolling Stones can never be truly great here cause you stick nonsense in with actual heartfelt music and I love having fun but this is more like Eminem fun than it is like Beatles Fun you know. You gotta move is just lazy it adds nothing to what it’s mimicking like even bitch feels like a worse version of rock and roll it’s too slow and just has this quietness it’s missing a soul it feels another instrument to really add me. When the trumpets come in finally you feel like the song is good but it’s one for mere seconds and then they tarnish every thing they built with a mediocre guitar solo what is this. Where is the respect it’s boring it feels like they were so reckless without any creativity and then it fades out. That’s the epitome of I got the blues too. The Last 3 songs are what save this album from being completely uninteresting. It finally feels like the stones have something to say without it being racist or uninspiring. They speak of addiction and and the future and the depths of the earth they traveled to on these drugs and all the hedoism they spoke of earlier in the album is resolved here. You walk down your own moonlight mile and when you walk a lot in the moonlight your guide is the light you must always reach for the light. I like some of the stones songs and I like the overall message of this album. I think artistry is hidden in albums like this but my appreciation is there. The Stones tried and made something I enjoyed but did not fall in love with. Wild horses and Moonlight Mile are proof the Stones can create a masterpiece. Let’s see if they did
Perfect album opener and closer
More Rolling Stones! Am I excited? Not really... I still don't get the appeal behind the band. Is it Mick Jagger's raunchy screams that sound anything but sexy? Is it the very so so instrumentation? I don't think they were particularly inventive or creative with their sound and nothing about it really grabs me. This album at least has Wild Horses which is a pretty stellar tune, and some other good moments but it's really not all that. Mostly fine but not much more.
ganz ok, aber die Band hat auch besseres
Muss ich sagen, dass ich tatsächlich etwas mehr erwartet habe
The Rolling Stones have some songs I really enjoy, but listening through their albums is such a slog. That said, this is the most enjoyable straight through listen of a Rolling Stones album for me so far (previous 2 being Aftermath and Beggars Banquet.) I’m sure I’ve got more Stones in my future and I wish they could just give me a “best of” compilation and let me move on.
I didn't like it... It was boring and repetitive
i was scared when i first saw this was my album, but actually better than i thought. wild horses is such a good fucking song
Its okay
Those Brown Sugar lyrics, though. Yikes
2 temas buenos y bosta
I was dreading this for some reason!??? Not half bad you know. I could listen to this album on my own time and often it was all like sway, dead flowers, moonlight mile, and obv wild horses.
Good album, quite a bit of recognizable songs but nothing special for me at least.
Solid album by the rolling stones
I listened to this about three times today, and mostly because I kept forgetting to listen to it. The music wasn't bad, just completely unmemorable
This is not their best album in my opinion. Still has some hits though.
After getting through a couple of Rolling Stones albums and giving them pretty low marks, I have to say this one wasn't bad. I certainly recognized more of this album than I thought. It has Brown Sugar. It was the song from all the Scorcese movies. It has the song from The Big Lebowski on it! Dead Flowers and Wild Horses are probably among the few Rolling Stones songs I actually really like, so this was pretty good.
Almost a 4. This is my 3rd Stones album in just over 50 albums - let me branch out already! The Stones at their best are incredible and the rest is inedible. A bit hyperbole, but I loved the first half of the album and lost my steam by the middle before gaining it back by the end. Highs: Wild Horses, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking Lows: Bitch
Fav: Wild Horses
undoubtedly iconic
Can't say I'm a fan of the song that talks about raping an enslaved black girl.
Not a bad album, although I can't pin any particular songs which I liked the most from it, but those are usually my feelings towards The Rolling Stones opus 😁
🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 (rounded down because no riff can erase slave rape fantasies, which should be the stipulation on a half-a-star review but unfortunately this album also has “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” and “Wild Horses,” so I guess it’s time for me to look like an ass) Is art’s “goodness” dependent on its morality? Uncomfortably, I’m not sure I think they necessarily correlate, although the thrall of aesthesis can only go so far before yucky subject matter icks out listeners. TL;DR: sometimes I feel guilty for liking problematic songs, but sometimes, a song is problematic enough on its own that the melody don’t really matter, do it? Case in point: I’ve been excited to listen to Sticky Fingers for a while now solely because “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” fucking rocks, and really that’s all. Today, I was so curious to start “Brown Sugar” because of how the reviews either tiptoed trepidatiously around it or relished in its triggering content, though nobody seemed to write it off completely. How could it be so bad but so good? Even the wikipedia page for the song seems quite coy about the subject matter, as the controversy only appears as an afterthought lower down the page, with the last sentence of its paragraph referencing taboos like “cunnilingus, interracial sex, and [beat] slavery.” HUH?? But again, I thought, surely this can’t be that bad—probably some classically immature Jagger licking his lips at tastelessly kinky Race play, likely in a metaphor that only sounded clever in the studio. Cut to the opening line: “Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields—“ HUH???? So, okay, let’s talk about “Brown Sugar,” because it really is that bad, but the reviews want me to ask, “but is it really?” Well, I’m gonna have to answer with a question via my woketron 3000 covid vaccine implant, which is screaming “is this not a rape fantasy? Of a slave??” And like, the answer to that is obviously yes, but the internet seems in denial of that. In my ensuing research bender, I was fascinated to find rich discourse on the multiple metaphorical layers supposedly sitting atop what’s lyrically a soggy paper foundation. Genius Lyrics, of “Brown Sugar,” claims “There are several different ways to interpret this song. The most straightforward is a meditation on white male on black female sex and how power has influenced it. Alternatively it could be more generally about interracial sex or black sex. Finally, as meta-fiction: Mick Jagger plunders the musical history of black people from slave rhythms, to spirituals, to blues, to honky tonk. And further is willing to proudly crow about how tempting and good they are.” This is a scrumptious take for me because it comes not four sentences after a quote about how Mick Jagger wrote the lyrics on a notepad in forty-five seconds before recording. Look, I don’t want to underestimate anybody’s genius, but this is clearly a fucked-up raceplay song from the perspective of the slaver, right? Maybe my 45-second skim wasn’t quite on par with Jagger’s intelligence, but to me, this isn’t exactly dripping with textual evidence of commentary of any sort—something something “Satire requires clarity of intent” (By the way, this is a footnote-worthy digression, but some sources say the song was inspired by Jagger’s short-lived tryst with Claudia Lennear—the same person Bowie wrote “Lady Grinning Soul” about, which is truly night and day with this one—but there’s also another woman, Marsha Hunt, who claims it’s about her, and it’s like… do we really want to fight over this? Interestingly, it seems Lennear did write a song about Jagger, too, called “Not At All,” which she has said was "to inform Mick Jagger of his dispensability,” which feels like both a classier clapback and also somehow the objective winner). But yea, it’s not like “controversial lyrics” or “not for the thin-skinned,” it’s just a rapey slave fantasy—duh. While spiraling down a Stones reddit thread where everyone seemed in denial about this song, I found the situation pretty succinctly summarized:“This isn't exactly Tipper Gore reading into the vaguaries of hair rock lyricism, it's the words.” This isn’t even really veiled in tipsy innuendo, that’s just what he says. For anyone else that might be a career ender, but has anyone ever asked Mick Jagger to be an upstanding pillar of ethical sexuality? Isn’t his grotesque horniness exactly the grit that cakes this bluesy music? If that’s the case, does that make me disgusting for liking it, at least in the abstract? Part of me thinks the Stones would sound just as crunchy and greasy without him, and I’d even say his voice would still have that iconic gruffness if he was using different words. Then again, I’m doing a lot of defending for a riff we haven’t even really discussed yet—one that better be some kind of platinum galactic chakra enema if anyone’s willing to die by “Brown Sugar,” right? Well, um, after listening, it’s like… fine? Okay, not even trying to be hipster about it, it’s decent even, but brother, come on—that’s what all this fuss was about? I’d say the same for “Bitch,” by the way—it’s not really worth the effort of defending, to me. I mean, is there any level of shreddage that could eclipse blatant misogyny and racism? Umm… obviously, no, but I think I want a lawyer. Still, if there were such a riff, it wouldn’t be here—not sure why this is one of the big hitters. Oh, yea, and Sticky Fingers—was that any good? Well, setting aside that stunner of a first track, I was ready to regrettably give this one a four, or maybe more—“Sway,” “Wild Horses,” and “Can’t You Hear Me Knocking” just about blasted my balls off. What a lineup. Unfortunately, the first side, in my mind, is much stronger than the second, which very quickly begins to meander into predictable and downtempo territory. I liked “Dead Flowers,” sort of, but I think that’s just because of The Big Lebowski, but that’s the only other standout to me. It’s not like everything else is bad (although I didn’t pay enough attention to the lyrics of the rest to really say that with confidence), but it’s just pretty fine Stones fair. I can’t wish for Mick Jagger to not be an evil ass freak, but I can wish for Keith Richards to go as hard as side one on every song, and unfortunately, he didn’t do much for me in that department. 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
Easy to listen to, no standout tracks for me
Seemed a bit generic in retrospective, but probably inventive for its time.
Rolling Stones Records CUN 59100 (UK 1979 reissue) vinyl rip: "Brown Sugar" would be banned IMMEDIATELY from radio in this day and age. Great music, shitty lyrics. "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is an all-time banger. "Sister Morphine" is the best of side 2.
The Stones were frankly before my time but are such a classic band in the realm of rock 'n roll. Fans of the Stones would love this album as it's in their prime. The time of American "gritty" R'n'R. Brown Sugar and Bitch are my favs here.
Not their best album. I can only say that Brown sugar and Wild Horses are the most memorable songs out of this album because I previously listened to them on a compilation. The rest of the songs are ok but most of them I don't remember much of.
A great classic rock album. Mick Jagger possesses a lot of upbeat energy. I was half-asleep on my bed and yet still had fun during the entire listen
Honestly, didn’t think I fucked with them like that but it was a good listen. Still not a fav but wild horses is a classssssic
I am not a very knowledgeable music listener, yet! But, I find this album pretty rooted to its american origins with the mixes of country there are to it. That mix makes it a pretty interesting album to hear. Although I am not a american. For this reason, I can’t really connect with its messages and the singer’s voice can just irritate me.
I don't think I'll ever understand the hype for The Stones. They are perfectly fine rock, no real dud songs, a few really good ones, but the rest are just decidedly average. 3.5* rounded down the 3*
I didn't enjoy it maybe as much as I normally do, not sure why. Still a solid album.
Alright I guess
Interesting Stones as You Gotta Move and Bitch etc are good, but as with most Stones albums the filler is sludge with Keith Richard’s licks over the top - Sister Morphine and Dead Flowers, which pulls it back to ordinary. 1. Brown Sugar 2. You Gotta Move 3. Moonlight Mile
It's alright and somewhat catchy, but it didn't do a ton for me. Very middle of the road.
A pretty neat album, very dad-rock hah! Dumb it down to my lack of musical knowledge, but I had initially felt that all of the songs sounded too similar to find any stand-outs. But Bitch, Sister Morphine, Wild Horses and Brown Sugar (the kazoo solo?) stood out to me the most and have added to my liked songs. I think Sway would be a great song to randomly play on a drive home following a tiring day. Moonlight Mile was a beautiful close. Cool album, I’m sure it revolutionised and inspired more than I’m aware of.
Love wild horses, the rest was fine
I recognize the Stones' impact on music, especially rock, but I've just never been able to get into them. That said, this whole album feels like a late summer afternoon spent hanging out with friends out in the country.
Not very interesting to me.
Nothing special
Solid. Haven’t heard most of these tracks before. Casey likes the tunes, good for chilling outside. Good for hanging out. Solid 3
Good tunes!
Never really got the Stones though this one is good
Nice
Easy listening, but some of the songs bring me out of the moment.
Muito bom, gostei de finalmente ter ouvido eles, meu preferido é wild horses
I'm not a big Stones fan, but I can appreciate how raw and rare their sound is. Every album sounds like they're just hanging out and jamming out a tune. There are a few classic tracks here and it's fun to hear the interplay between the guitars, but nothing else jumps out. Plus, Brown Sugar is just wrong in every way, right? This is definitely no Exile ...
I liked wild horses
Не в моем вкусе. Классика рока, хороший, приятный уху, но мне не зашло.
Pleasant, but nothing special
This was one of my grandads fav albums, so I have nostalgia for it from him playing it. But actually listening through it I find it just alright and not mind-blowing. Don't get me wrong, it's lively and fun with a good up-tempo beat throughout the album. But I definitely prefer the singles over the whole album. 'Brown Sugar' is always going to be one of those so gs that is tied to good memories for me, but this album will stick with me less so. Fav Track: Brown Sugar
Probably the Stones' peak IMO. It's good but I'm just not really too much of a fan
“Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton field. Sold in a market down in New Orleans.” What the fuck is that? Rolling Stones. First two lines to Brown Sugar... I bet you’ve heard that song 500 times, but you never knew, right? I can't help but hear the Dandy Warhols "Bohemian Like You" in here. I liked this more than expected. "Dead Flowers" & "Moonlight Mile" were standouts.
Não sou dos maiores fãs dos Stones, porém gostei deste aqui. Não está no meu ranking de discos deles que eu mais gostos, ao pé de Let it Bleed, Beggars Banquet ou Exile e Tattoo you, mas diria que é uma boa porta de entrada para quem quer conhecer uma banda lendária como são os Rolling Stones
The Stones are a classic example to me of “lots of great songs but no great albums” This is my favorite album of theirs, but still doesn’t fully land for me.
This was decent. Nothing really stands out to me, but I didn't mind it.
It's alr
First Rolling Stones album. Pretty fire sound. Definitely got some standouts but no bad songs. Peak dad rock.
It really interprets the era of rock and roll quite well. While not as high energy as other bands it really shows how the influence of drugs shaped the era.
After the past few days this was a breath of fresh air. It was a straight forward rock and roll album. I've never been the biggest Stones fan but this was enjoyable.
Rolling stonessssss
I'm writing this 2 weeks later, but this album wasn't very memorable to me. Rock and bluesy, I don't love Mick Jagger's vocal style.
Fine I guess
better than the last one.
When I find myself liking a Rolling Stones song, it is likely off of this album
I feel ambivalent towards this, at times it is breath taking and I see light, like on Wild Horses (a classic that is an absolute gem) and Moonlight Mile a song I absolutely love upon discovery here. But I also think there is very little subtlety here, it's drugs drugs drugs and bitches and I'm bored. The sound of it is fun, but is it as novel and experimental ? I ain't sure. I respect it, but I don't think it's deserving of all the flowers we throw at it as an album.
Not a huge fan of the Stones, but I did enjoy this album. Favourite track: Dead Flowers
6/10… classic rock / british blues / *1971
It’s got the hits. Nice well rounded album. Fairly straightforward. 3.5/5.0
One of my least favorite Stones songs (Wild Horses, featuring Mick's annoying phony drawl) followed by one of my favorites, Can't You Hear Me Knockin', featuring one of the best guitar riffs in all rock music, along with the incredibly satisfying jazz breakdown/jam session at the end. Lots of drugs on this one, and Brown Sugar is simply disgusting - gotta try to ignore the lyrics. You Gotta Move is great, as is Bitch, but the Stones get kind of lazy now and then when they lie down in a druggy haze and toss off some country or blues tropes. It's really pretty sloppy, but the guitars are always great, as is the superb Charlie Watts.
It's just not my favorite, but it was nice to hear a few new Rolling Stones songs. Bop-wise, it started off strong and then died off a bit. Content-wise, it was pretty gross the whole way through.
Album entretenido, relajante y variado.
Ok album but that’s all. A hit straight down the middle. 3/5
Nothing remarkable
rolling country
еее письки рок
When this album came out the bassist Bill Wyman was 35, his future wife (and step granddaughter....) wasn't yet 1. Anyway album wise, the only song I really already knew was Wild Horses. Some dodgy lyrics and I hate the cover, hate that it originally had a working zip even more. Musically I liked it but other than Wild Horses nothing really stood out to me. Favourite song: Wild Horses Least: Brown Sugar
My favorite Goo Goo Dolls song is their cover of "Bitch" with someone else singing.
kinda mid ngl
The Rolling Stones are fine but this list has confirmed for me that they don't deserve half the plaudits. It's bluesy American rock, like the other albums we've had. Enjoyed this a touch more than some previous albums looking at my other reviews, it was nice enough. This many albums on this list is ridiculous though, they haven't really developed much and I've learned nothing. 2.5.
We certainly have a lot of Stones albums on this list. Not sure they all need including - Let It Bleed is good, and the rest are absolutely passable. Brown Sugar and Wild Horses are the standouts. A funny group, they seem to change their sound very frequently, and I don't know how I feel about that. Slap bang middle, a classic album 500/1001.
So, let's get this out of the way first- Brown Sugar is perhaps one of the worst aging songs of all time. The tune sounds so good and the lyrics are... so bad. Thankfully the rest of the album does not have this problem, I find this having the highest rating of all Rolling Stones on the site interesting because it is like, my 3rd or 4th favorite album. The pure songwriting on display here still works so well and the Rolling Stones are a powerhouse of tunes and singing alike, but the entire thing is a touch too slow for me. It's like wading through molasses, half of this album feels like waking up after a bad hangover. The other half however has songs like "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" which carries the energy that make Rolling Stones so great. As subjective as it may be, I just think I prefer the more exciting Rolling Stones to the slower, introspective side.
The definitive Stones.
I never knew "Brown Sugar" was a creepy song with racist overtones until I read a comic book given to me in Harvard Square by one of those Spartacist League people who was always handing stuff out. So much ambivalence about the Stones. I understand they are great, and despite never owning any of their albums, I certainly know and like many, many of their songs. And yet sometimes I wish I could pinch Mick Jagger really hard to get him to stop sounding so douchey. You can hear the smirk in his singing, somehow. I don't really know how to rate this record. I don't have a strong emotional resonance with any of these songs, and I think if I did, I would rate it higher. It feels wrong to give it a 3, and yet that's where I'm ending up. I don't think I would listen to this again, so I guess that says it all.
7/10 - Liked it more and more on every listen. I think the Spotify remastered version is mixed poorly? Everything just sounds a bit far away and muffled. This could easily be liked more if I heard a better version of it Fav Tracks: Brown Sugar, Bitch, Wild Horses Heard before? ---–- ❌ Saved a Song? ----- ✅ Saved Album? --–-- ✅ Will Listen Again? -- ✅ Album Cover -------We want TIGHTER mic
i was gonna make a snide comment along the lines of "i bet this would go hard if i was a 45 old man" but i actually kinda liked it.... maybe im the 45 year old man fave track: you gotta move
didn't move me but it's aight
Not too bad, easy listen. 3/5
Fiquei animado que ia ser Rolling Stones, sempre quis conhecer mais. A primeira música eu já conhecia e curto bastante, então aumentou mais ainda o hype pro álbum. Aí fui ouvindo, fui ouvindo.... Chatiiinho. Não sabia que Rolling Stones tinha mais música calminha do que rock rock mesmo. Mas ao menos nesse álbum é assim, tudo musiquinha mooorna, meio sem graaça. Tirando a primeira gostei mais de uma só, de resto achei palhinha. E não que ser calma seja um problema, mas são meio genéricas. Eu esperava muuuuito mais.. Fiquei muito em dúvida entre 2 e 3, mas 2 seria se fosse ruinzinho, e não é ruim, só não é bom também kkkkk vai 3 mesmo.
For most people, this is the Rolling Stones at their absolute peak. For me, this is their third straight album sounding exactly the same. When Sticky Fingers came up this morning, my first thought was "I could have sworn I got this one already". In reality, I had already gotten Beggars Banquet and Let it Bleed, but there's not really much difference, now is there? P.S. I don't care what people say, "Wild Horses" will always be Gram Parsons' song to me!
Can't go wrong with this album, but also it's pretty vanilla dad rock.
Good album. 4.0 stars. One of their better ones alongside Exile On Main Street. You have a few phenomenal tracks like Brown Sugar, Wild Horses and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking with its snazzy jazzy extra long jazz snazz coda. These tracks are so good that the rest of the album feels a bit snoozy and stale in comparison. Not too catchy or exciting. Too much snoozy plain folk blues country smush. Dead Flowers? Chuck ‘em out. Dont leave ‘em on the album. Bitch? Bit rude. No way to talk to a bitch. Ultimately could have done with a bit more Brown Sugar. I have Slippy Fingers so I’ve actually given this album 3 stars by mistake.
Another mid ass release from this overrated band. People be rating an album just by how popular it is smh Like every other classic Rolling Stones album , 2 good songs and a shit load of filler. Exept this one has 3 good song omg my favorite album of theirs.
Understandably popular with interesting instrumentals and vocal performances, suffers from not being personally interesting
Primera vez escuchando un album completo de los Stones, desafio por completo la idea que tenia sobre su musica
When I listen to full Stones albums, I am often surprised again by the frequent appearance of unabashedly country tracks ("Dead Flowers" and "Wild Horses" here). I didn't care for "Wild Horses" when I was a kid, but now it just seems weirdly comforting. (I think "Dead Flowers" is the better song, though.) I really enjoy "Can You Hear Me Knockin'" and "Sister Morphine," too.
I knew Brown Sugar & Can’t You Hear Me Knocking. I also own and like Wild Horses. It was fine.
I didn't think I'd enjoy this album as much as I did! Rocking guitars and bluesy vibes (they have a relatively milder sound than I was expecting from such a famous rock band) mixed in with a darker sensual undercurrent. The Rolling Stones is another one of those canonised bands that I didn't have much interest digging into. I figured they're revered for good reason, but their audience of middle-aged dads is wayyy outta my ballpark. In my opinion some of the lyrics fall flat in their excessiveness and haven't aged the best. Sexual provocativeness is not the issue here, just the strange execution e.g., "Brown Sugar", which I'm not sure is supposed to be radical commentary or unintentional fetishisation that's trying to come off romantic. If it's the former, I don't think they pulled it off well or are the most appropriate people to deliver the message thoughtfully. This tackiness also extends to the album cover itself. I felt compelled to dock a point as a result, but I truly did like this one!
O k a y... 3.5
Was never sure about this album, prefer the earlier two and Exile is exceptional. Wild Horses was the only highlight
Knew brown sugar and recognised wild horses. Fine listening 3
Never realised Wild horses was The Rolling Stones! Some serious country rock and roll vibes. Is this what they always sound like? No idea! I no doubt will find out when their next ones pops up.
Another one of those classic albums/artists that when I listen to it, actually sounds quite different to my expectations. there was a section that was weirdly country towards the end, and I thought the whole thing was fine to listen to but less rocky for The Rock Band
Aaaaiiighttt
Okey i guess, mid
Este también es un clásico y está bastante interesante para la época, pero tampoco he conectado demasiado.
I'm not a big Stones fan, but this record is pretty good. Not so good that it makes me want to become a fan, though. It's definitely worthy of being on this list.
I liked Wild Horses and Moonlight Mile the most.
They take this occasion to combine their powers of making legendary singles and of making passable album-filler tracks in order to make this; the ultimate album of good-but-not-great music May their name live on in legend
i'm not quite following this cowboy theme we've got going on here. good, but other albums of theirs are better.
This album was good but life is short - listen to something that doesn't start with Brown Sugar
Mid
they all sound the same and you know that.
Can't you hear me knocking kinda sucks
No me mató, cumple. Hay álbumes mejores y no creo que sea necesario escuchar este antes de morirme
Classics 3
(4/7) 1 or 2 good ones but the rest is fairly unremarkable. don't know where they found the saxophone
Jeg tror jeg mangler nogle nostalgi-point på dette album for at værdsætte det ligeså højt, som jeg forestiller mig nogle gør. "I Got The Blues" - kæmpe fucking GOATED banger. Det orgel der bliver lige straffet på samme måde som Mads Mikkelsen straffer Daniel Craigs juveler i Casino Royal :O Ellers synes jeg det er en meget "poppet" omgang rock, som gør man godt kan forstå, at The Rolling Stones er så bredt elsket og anerkendt. Til gengæld bliver jeg personligt ikke særlig grebet af albummet og derfor bliver det til 3 middelmådige stjerner (primært løftet op af orgelsoloen i "I Got The Blues").
Jeg må indrømme at jeg aldrig har interesseret mig helt vildt for The Rolling Stones - I hvert fald ikke nok til at sætte et helt album på. Med det sagt, så forstår jeg godt hvorfor folk kan lide det og der er også et par super fede numre ind imellem. Favoritter: Wild horses I got the blues
Bien tirando a normalito un poco más que mid tier, lo mejorcito wild horses claramente. 6,25/10
Back again for the second day with The Stones, and this album was certainly more enjoyable than Aftermath. What Aftermath lacked in uniqueness, Sticky Fingers provided a range of different songs, that offered something more chill. Still not a banger of an album, but better than average. 3/5 Brown Sugar 7 Sway 4 Wild Horses 6 Can't You Hear Me Knocking 5 You Gotta Move 5 Bitch 6 I Got The Blues 3 Sister Morphine 4 Dead Flowers 5 Midnight Mile 6
Good
I'd give it a 3.5, but it didn't go over the line for me to make this 4 stars. I liked it, to my surprise. I'd probably listen to it again if it came on. But I have found that I do not like that 70s guitar sound. I'm not sure if it's the recording (this isn't the only album or artist) but it sounds scratchy to me.
Had way more depth than I would have expected
Me mantengo una beatles girl
I hadn't marked down any notable takeaways when I listened to this album 4 months ago, and after perusing the tracks again I think that's about right. The Rolling Stones have certainly had better albums than this, and it's just as likely that they've had worse. There are good songs here, Wild Horses and Can't You Hear Me Knocking stand out on the first side, but nothing that reaches the highs of something like You Can't Always Get What You Want. Still, if you're looking for this sort of rock 'n roll/country overlap from the 70s, I suppose this is a good place to find it.
Just like a young girl should:
The album felt very generic and things weren't standing out in any way. It felt somehow watered down. I am not a Rolling Stones knower and don't know if this represents them in their fullest but can't say I am impressed with this listen.
lo escucharia de nuevo creo. no le puse mucha atencion
leeendo
A good listen, with great performances and plenty of variety. The more country blues songs are not my style, but it’s still a fun album to listen to start to finish. Favorite song: Wild Horses
3/5 estrellas 8/10 canciones favoritas Buen álbum a pesar de ser algo largo, me gustaron el sonido de las guitarras en varias canciones y el piano/organo/synth que suelen usar en otras.
It's good! A refreshing amount of variety on the album and some good ol' fashioned rock classics. Not quite the mind-blowing perfection I was expecting out of such a revered album unfortunately, but holds up decently regardless. Fav tracks: Wild Horses, You Gotta Move, I Got The Blues, Sister Morphine
The Stones. They're pretty good. "Can't you hear me knocking" was a guitar hero fave of mine, "Brown Sugar" is a classic. I'll probably add both to the playlist. The rest is just alright.
Creo que nunca me había interesado en ponerme a escuchar a los Rollings, si bien creo que todos los tenemos presentes por ser lo que fueron y todos debemos haber escuchado alguna vez alguno de sus temas más conocidos, jamás me habían interesado. Me encontré escuchando un álbum de rock clásico, con temas casi todos bastante “soft”, que nunca antes había escuchado y que en lo musical me gustaron. Deja en evidencia porque llegaron a ser lo que son, son realmente muy buenos en lo musical, incluyendo diversos instrumentos y ritmos, pero manteniendo un buen balance que a lo largo del álbum te hace pasar por diferentes estados de ánimo. En conclusión, creo que es un buen álbum para escuchar de fondo mientras haces alguna otra cosa, sin ponerse tanto a analizar las letras (que algunas son bastante polémicas, o se tocan temas delicados) y definitivamente mi canción favorita fue Moonlight Mile.
some cool songs but overall not my vibe and some quite overstimulating Three made it into my favorites and one into my house playlist: 1. Can‘t you hear me knocking (2009) 2. Wild horses 3. Wild horses (Acoustic version)
Nice! I don't think I've ever listened to this beginning to end, though I have often had Wild Horses and Can't You Hear Me Knocking in rotation. Third entry in a row from the 1970s. Very bluesy. Can see why this is a classic, though I am partial to Let It Bleed. Wanted to give this a 4 but I think I'll reserve the 4 for other Stones records that I'm sure will pop up. This is definitely a 3.5 The Stones, for me, have some excellent songs but have never been my preferred brand of classic rock. My favorite discoveries here are Sister Morphine and Dead Flowers.
this one's alright, i mean it just sounds like music to me.
Yup that sure is classic rock. Honestly I never got the reverence for the Stones. They're fine! Good music to put on with the windows down on a hot summer day or to walk into a Five Guys to. Bet the live show was a blast. Wild Horses probably made some teens cry in 1971, some pretty emotional content under Jagger's voice which doesn't fit a ballad feel great. Can't You Hear Me Knocking is, admittedly, a sick tune. BUT it's been done better and heavier by later bands. Getting a little sick of these Brit rock acts doing their impotent versions of spirituals and blues standards, but You Gotta Move isn't the worst one I've heard so far. Bitch has a cool lick. Billy Preston on I Got the Blues was a treat, as it always is. The personnel is doing just fine, everything sounds good and tight enough and the writing is a little bland but the album is pretty groove and feel based so all good on that front. I wouldn't go tossing around genius, personally, but it's a 3.
Not to shabby, it's alright, you gotta move meme song. beatles are better
It’s good. But what’s really good is the top review this album has on here. A song by song 30 paragraph baby boomer psychosexual odyssey that gets more alien with every word. Honest to god you could publish that thing. You could make it a one man play
***An ok album
Some hits but isn’t music I would necessarily reach for.
Played it as background while I was fiddling w the other suggested sites from the channel where i found this site. as expected from someone who can’t multitask like myself, I didn’t hear a thing🙃 I’ll listen to it again w more intention
Good 7/5
Sticky Fingers sees The Rolling Stones incorporating Country Music into their sound this time around, which is not to suggest this is a country record, just a new color to the Stones palette. Of course this record is full of the classic brash blues rock they are famous for, “Brown Sugar”, “Can You Hear Me Knocking” are classics but there are gentler moments too, “Wild Horses”, “Sister Morphine” and maybe the biggest surprise “Moonlight Mile” a beautiful track with Asian inspired melodies. I hadn’t heard that track before this listen and was more than pleasantly surprised. This record is definitely worth a listen in full, lots of layers and surprises along the way. -TomB
Lo bueno empieza en las primeras 4 canciones. He leído que en "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" la canción se supone que debió terminar en el minuto 2:46, y que después de eso simplemente es una improvisación de lo banda lo cual me pareció increible. Después de eso creo que depende de cada uno qué tan energético y bluesero es este álbum.
Country no tanto como yo en este momento
The original jeansröv på ett albumomslag, om än på baksidan. Huruvida "Brown sugar" handlar om heroin, är lokalt Södern-slang för en färgad prostituerad kvinna eller rent konkret handlar om negerfitta, vet bara Keith Richards som är den som ska ha snappat upp orden. Alla tre tolkningarna är absolut tänkbara. Vilken jävla skillnad det är på hur bandet låter/spelar här jämfört med Exile... bara nåt år senare. Här låter verkligen Stones pressat, instängda, närmast nervöst och tyglade i jämförelse. Första skiva på eget bolag, första skivan efter Brian Jones död, skandaler och rättegångar, en polis som ständigt förföljer dom, ett accelererande knarkande, ett England som blivit för trångt för dom både mentalt och bokstavligt. Orsakslistan kan göras tämligen lång till att så är fallet. På så sätt är SF ett utmärkt album som speglar vad som försegår i och omkring bandet. Men man kan också välja att se det så att det som hörs på SF inte alls är särskilt kul, inte minst med Exile... i färskt minne. Här finns absolut några riktiga kanonlåtar som det nästan alltid gör på Stones skivor. "Wild horses", "Dead flowers" och den om, till och för Marianne Faithfull skrivna "Sister morphine", som hon släppte som en singelbaksida redan 1969 tror jag (?), är alla glimmrande "Glimmer twins" alster. Men känslan av ett ganska plågat band genomsyrar så väl dessa som resten av skivan. Man har inte skitkul när man lyssnar på SF helt enkelt, det blir ett tveeggat svärd. "Vi fortsätter spela rock 'n' roll men vi håller på att dö“ skalde Dageby och bildligt är det den känslan man bär med sig när man lyssnar på SF. Det är ett bra Stonesalbum men inte nåt i hästväg, kanske är dess rykte faktiskt lite överskattat. Det är en trea på den övre halvan men aldrig egentligen nära en fyra.
Brown suger är en höjdarlåt. Även Can you hear me knocking är riktigt bra. Min invändning mot Stones är att Jagger lägger för mycket fokus på att leva rockmyten istället för att låtarna får stå i centrum. Jagger har en rätt begränsad röst men envisas ändå med ta för mycket plats. Det är stabil rock n roll. Stark trea.
Consideraría que es un álbum muy bueno para introducirte a Rolling Stone pero son algunos conceptos a nivel de cohesión musical que no me parecen tan buenos para seguir con la cohesión de cada canción, es algo escuchable sí pero no del todo
Never really heard any Stones album - I like it. Sounds like everything complements other parts really well, from vocals to guitars to drums. I just don't feel like there's much to say about it - good formula done well.
wild horses deserves all the stars there are to give and moonlight mile sounds like from a twilight soundtrack
Didn't not like this, but didn't really like it either. I feel like you need to really be a Stones fan to appreciate them
C'est rare qu'en écoutant les albums de cette liste, je tombe sur un album culte et que je me demande pourquoi. Pourquoi c'est si populaire ? Bon ben c'est le cas avec Sticky Fingers. je comprend pas pourquoi les gens trouvent ça si génial. C'est un bon album, si on aime le rock un peu bluesy, mais pour un album sorti en 1971, ça me semble vraiment pas foufou. Pour moi, c'est du 3/5.
Klausiau
Welp, another Rolling Stones album. I mean they are okay but only put out an album or two that I actually like. This is not one of them. Catchy stuff but not for me. I feel like Wild Horses is probably the best song on this album, the rest are pretty okay. Also Brown Sugar is a gross song.
- I like it so far, I’m on track 3. Nice western vibes even if it’s not that. :) Wild Horses is my favorite so far. - The instrumental half of Can’t You Hear Me Knocking was awesome - I Got The Blues is nice I liked that one - Based ass guitar playing on Sister Morphine - Unfortunate that the vocals on Dead Flower are kinda bad because the guitar is great. - Final song is pretty good
Not a giant Rolling Stones fan but wild horses is my favourite song. I enjoyed the twang that was included throughout the record.
This was a pleasant surprise; I’ve never been a big Rolling Stones fan and was expecting this to be pretty straightforward blues rock, but it was more diverse and interesting than I thought it’d be.
Good, but not something I need to listen to agan
Fine. Very Americana laid back (miller told me they’re British). Could grow on me. Dead flowers good and good songwriting I think only listened once.
ja
ARI, ARI, ARI, ARI! Arrivederci!!!
All vibe - limited skill. Oddly, the drumming is maybe the best part which I never thought whereas the guitar work is infamous and it's sorta meh.
Not a huge rolling stone fan but I appreciate their sound and influence.
A lot more focused than Exiles, but still not consistently gripping. It's more tight and riff based, and the first half carries the whole project. Best song: Can't You Hear Me Knocking Worst song: I Got The Blues Cover check: Very tight jeans
Bon album, je découvre. Les partie jazz soul sont vraiment bien, le côté country un peu flemme
Not at their best but good nonetheless
I’m not a Stones fan but they do have a few songs I really like, none of which are on this album unfortunately. Better luck next time as I’m sure we’ll be seeing them again.
I'd say peak Stones sleaze and swagger, really enjoyed it
good old classic rock
Du rock. Désolée c'est les Stones mais je vois pas la diff entre les stones ou de nombreux autres groupes de rock qui font la même chose, peut-être une voix un peu plus reconnaissables et quelques instrus plus fun mais je trouve pas qu'ils sortent particulièrement du lot dans leur domaine.
C'était pas mal mais le rock n roll reste pas trop mon truc
This was ok. Some of the songs were 3s, a few were 2s but I'm feeling generous so I've rounded up for the whole album
•standouts: brown sugar, i got the blues •honorable mentions: sway, bitch •favorite: i got the blues
3.5
probably more like a 3.5, i wasn't massive on beggars banquet when we rolled it, but i quite liked this one - has a bit more going on.
It was good liked the vibe
Oh, this album art. Not really anything that stood out to me.
I was expecting better, honestly
Eh
Ok not too bad. This came up after I already heard Exile so now I can see where they were kind of coming from. Some strong songs on here but also some weak ones. A nice variety of tunes here though. Kept things interesting but maybe a few too many mellow songs as they mostly just went in one ear and out the other. Only repeated listens will help me distinguish the weaker tracks but at this point I don’t know if I have the time in my life to do so. There’s still so many albums by them I need to get through. Not to mention all the other albums by other artists. I guess to me this does sound a bit dated and doesn’t seem to give me the urge to come back to it. But there are some good songs on here so who knows?
2 if it weren't for Sister Morphine
Was really looking forward to this. Obviously I know the Rolling Stones but think I have never really sat down and listened to a full album of theirs. It was fine, good blues inspired late 60s/early 70s rock, but have to admit I'm a bit bewildered by the awe with which they are held based on this album anyway. 3 out of 5 stars.
I'm just not the biggest Rolling Stones fan, but this was alright.
It's alright. It's the kinda music your dad listens to from the garage while drinking a beer in the driveway with your weird uncle. It's just kinda on, and everyone sings the wild horses part way too loud. At worst it's just alright, and at best it's also just alright. I guess they have a magazine for a reason though. The guitar is pretty good.
Generic sounding rolling stones album
Solid record. Wild Horses really makes it for me.
A few good songs, a couple that didn't age well. While I enjoyed several of the songs, it also wasn't an album that I really liked all of the songs. So while there were some good bits there were enough meh bits that I definitely wouldn't want to own this nor have it on a regular play
It’s a fine album. But I just don’t understand how this is considered one of the greatest albums of all time and I don’t understand how people say Stones made better music than the Beatles. The middle of this album is the best for me and I obviously love the hits, Wild Horses and Can’t You Hear Me Knocking to be specific. Although I feel Can’t You Hear Me Knocking would be even better if it wasn’t as long of a track. And man oh man, I’m not even going to talk about Brown Sugar in depth even though I should. Just gonna say get that song outta here!! I don’t care how many ways they try to spin that song into not being lyrically cringe or inappropriate…it is.
I will say, off the rip, I love the guitar on this album. When it comes to the other content of the tracks, I just felt it was okay. It's a perfectly fine listen. Brown Sugar is great, Wild Horses is a classic (not my taste, really, but I'll still sing along a little), and I fell in love with the bass on Sister Morphine. Everything else sits in a "pretty good, may listen to it again or may not" category. I would comfortably put this at a 3.5, but I have to round down on this one since I did have to break my listen in half. A couple tracks really bored me.
Un disco nocturno y visceral donde los Stones suenan más crudos y más elegantes que nunca: blues vivido, deseo sin pudor y una melancolía que atraviesa cada riff.
Has a couple standouts. Dig Dead flowers and their country nods. I'm medium
Cant you here me knocking wen tema. You gotta move es medio conocidillo, así q me sonaba de antes, pero así como uff temazo no tanto la vdd Moonlight mile me dio algo de penita la vdd no se xq El álbum no es muy mi estilo, pero no dudo de su relevancia cultural probs
This is a tricky (or sticky, wink wink nudge nudge) album to rate. You've got your hits, and you've got your Blues songs that the British invasion bands loved. The Stones never really hit me in a way that I super enjoyed. I like some of their songs, and some of the songs on this album, but something about it just kind of ran it's course. Like that B-Side is a true B-Side of an album.
Despite Sticky Fingers not having either of the two great Stones songs (Paint it Black and Gimmie Shelter) on it, I was enjoying it more than the previous two stones albums I listened to. That is, until Sister Morphine, with it's shitty, faux Americanism, that is typical of so many Rolling Stones songs. From there the album went downhill fast. This just about scrapes a three from me.
Is “Brown Sugar” meant to be a socially conscious reflection on the slave trade and racial injustice? Because it sounds like Mick Jagger inhabits that creepy character a little too well. The answer may be on the next track, “Sway,” in which he says that “the demon life has got me its sway.” “Wild Horses” is next. If you can make it through that song, you’re a true fan. Then comes “Can’t You Hear Me Knockin’” which is the finest song on the album. It sounds like the Stones are channeling either Traffic or latter-day Doors here, as the song transitions to its long instrumental section. “You Gotta Move” fills space before “Bitch,” which may just be as misogynistic as “Brown Sugar.” Well, enough about this album. Time for the essential post-Stones deep clean, followed by a musical palette cleanse. Still, I'll give 3/5 for several great riffs and for "Knockin."
What can I say? It's the Rolling Stones... which means you'll get a few solid tracks, but before you know it, you feel like you've been dragged through the gutter a bit. For all its famous tracks, I think "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is hands down their best on the album.
One of those Stones albums I thought I'd heard before, but a lot was unfamiliar. Some good hits, some less interesting stuff too. Didn't leave a massively lasting impression, but still pretty strong.
Has a good sound, but it had a few I was not really feeling. Songs like Wild Horses and Sister Morphine I thought were really good but the album was not as strong as these two
a lot of songs viral on tiktok, never knew where they came from until now
Im not mad at their version of you gotta move. The last 4 songs are the best ones on the album
Honestly not nearly as in love with this album as I thought I would be. Definitely some great blues rock ballads on here, but also some definite misses that are gonna keep me from spinning this that often. Favorite Tracks: "Wild Horses", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking", "Sister Morphine" Least Favorite Track: "I Got the Blues" High 3.
Eh
Saved? ✅ Would listen again? 🤔 Would recommend to anyone? ✅ Would buy on Vinyl?✅
First time listening to a Stones album and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. It’s just middle of the road for me. Finding out this record is considered to essentially be their best just leaves an even more stale taste in my mouth since there’s a fat chance I’ll seriously enjoy any of their albums then.
Not a fan of Jagger's vocal stylings, and the white boy blues doesn't do it for me, but there are 3 or 4 classics on this which elevates it above mediocrity. Sister Morphine and You Gotta Move are highlights
- rollarit keikkuu ihan siinä rajoilla että miten ajan hammas on heidän tuotantoaan kohdellut - tälläkin levyllä on monia hyvin kyseenalaisia tekstejä, mutta sitten taas toiset biisit ovat kyllä todellisia klassikoita, hienoja melodioita - onkohan tämä albumitaide inspiroinut erästäkin brucea?
Rock de pai divorciado
386/1089 - This is the third album I got from them, seriously in what way are they on the same level as the Beatles as rivals? From what I've heard, they have like two good songs (Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil) and the rest is filler. At least they made Satisfaction so Devo could make their version which is around 3000x cooler. This went in one ear and out the other (except for Can't You Hear Me Knocking).
3/5
Nope.. still don't care for The Rolling Stones. The answer to the eternal question of "Beatles or Stones?" will always be "Led Zeppelin" for me.
i actually very much enjoyed this album. some great tunes and awesome guitar riffs, wild horses is the standout - however there's a cover of that song i like more than the OG version. still a great song. just an overall good time and a solid album. 7/10
Definitely some great songs on here and I know many people think this great, but to me some of the stuff is filler. Or maybe better to say I can take it or leave it.
p231. 1971. 3.5 stars. Possibly the only Stones record you need. Some great songs here, and Mick Taylor is a fine guitarist. Points deducted for Jagger's faux American blues accent, it gets fucking annoying after a while, especially when you know he's from Dartford.
Full on blues album. Which is a strange for a band formed in London. All of the elements are there twanging guitar, saxophone, slow drums and Mick Jagger's wailing vocals. Two huge hits on this album Brown Sugar and Wild Horses. Both of which I feel haven't been played to death and I was happy to hear again. As with all blues songs, the world is cruel and times are tough. But I cant help but think that life might be a bit better for Mick if he just cut down on the Coke and Smack. As that seems to be the subject of most of his troubles. Going by majority of the songs on his album. (2.750)
Moody Bluesy rocky - almost a Great name for a band that… Debauched, Risky, innovative… they wish . But still an actual good album , before they forgot how to make an entire album. More Eaton than East end; no mater how much they swagger … a solid album but nothing more from the posh boys of rock.
Høres fortsatt ut som Rolling Stones ja. Og mitt favorittalbum av dem 🙃. Er litt mer spenstige låtlengder og eksperimentering enn tidligere som er nice.
Kan definitivt høyre på dette igjen.
This is my second stones album in this project. The first one was earlier, and I found it more raw and experimental. This one felt more cohesive from a musical and performance perspective, but also more musically boring. It was, largely speaking, variations on familiar rock and blues cliche's. I will admit that I like the performances: the vocals are great, the guitar is great (though I don't love the way the solo's are mixed: very panned and echo-y), but most songs were very long, hammering the same familiar musical idea without evolving, and therefore, kind of boring.
Hard to know how to rate this album... The Stones are showing off real talent and skill here, and some of the songs are pretty solid. The guitars are working some great interplay, the drums are steady as anything and Mick Jagger is performing like a true rock 'n roll frontman... but even after a second listen the album as a whole is pretty forgettable. There's a couple of songs that are memorable enough - "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is distinctive, and for some completely inexplicable, potentially unhinged reason "Brown Sugar" sounds like ABBA's "Does Your Mother Know" to me. Yes, I know. Bizarre. The rest of the album I couldn't hum a second of. For an album that's good on paper but did very little for me, and whose inclusion on this list is probably reasonable but only probably, I give the most neutral of ratings: the not-so-coveted-but-entirely-acceptable 3/5.
Divorced dad core. Goed ma ni meer dan da, also wtf is de tekst van Brown Sugar?? insane
I thought I was going to enjoy this album much more than I did. The only thing that truly stuck out to me was the cover art (which also sent me down a rabbit hole on Wikipedia). I couldn't name a song by TRS before this, and honestly, after a couple weeks I'm probably also gonna forget these songs. It's well performed, great instrumentals and really great vocals. The quality of the music is good. Something is just missing for me. It started to run together and bore me after a while and I really wasn't expecting that. I enjoyed how the album closed on a slower note. Is this an album I'm going to revisit? I really don't think so. It is bad? No. It's just not for me.
Better than the early stuff we listened to a while back, but still can't say I'm a big Stones fan.
This album has one or two gems. But I am not one to just throw on a Rolling Stones record. Give me a greatest hits for them, and I will probably give it 5 stars. They were hit makers for sure, but as for albums ... well ...
Definitely a good vibe, just not something I’ll find myself coming back to. Probably because it’s not my typically taste
No arguing from me that Sticky Fingers is a canonical record. But listening to it, I had the wonder about the following: if this is considered one of the best rock records of all time, does this explain why--with quite a few notable exceptions--why most rock music is so mid?
I like the idea of blues rock more than I like blues rock. I'd rather just listen to Zeppelin
Pretty solid. Wild horses and dead flowers was probably my favourites there was one or two songs i didn't like but other than that i really liked it.
Sticky Fingers feels pretty weak compared to the Stones’ other big albums. There’s a few good songs but all the deep cuts are pretty forgettable
Familiar, but not so special anymore in my opinion. The most special thing was that there was a real zipper on the cover that actually opened.
Has Wild Horses on it. It’s good background I guess, but I don’t really get the hype for The Rolling Stones.
Ok
I liked wild horses. I know they’re like super famous but honestly this album wasn’t my fav
Wild horses is a classic. Didn’t love You Gotta Move and Bitch at all
Some great rock here, but everything about this group and this album (ugh that cover art) kind of puts a scowl on my face
Listening session: january 21th, while commuting to intership Listened to before: heard a few songs before Thoughts: I’m not really familiar with the Rolling Stones and while I wouldn’t really put it on myself, this album was nice to play as background music Favourite tracks: Wild Horses & Sister Morphine
pretty good very funky
Confused as to why this album is included in this list. Sounded to me like mick jagger and friends singing about doing drugs but with a more country sound. It feels generous to give this 3 stars, however there are redeemable qualities - a few good tracks (can't you hear me knocking, brown sugar, wild horses), plus an ensemble of differing instruments saves this album from being bad
listened to jan 20 on way to work and while cleaning + washing dishes at night. some groovy songs and some folky songs
I’ll still never really be a Stones guy, the sound of white dudes playing the blues, even as well as they do (or when their competitors the Beatles did it), will never not scan as curious to me. But, for a favourite Stones album, this one comes in the middle of their incredible Beggars-Exile run and depending on the day of the week, any one of those would get my vote.
giving tio rich en el coche a jugar discgolf txas country cows
Quality but not my vibe. 6/10
Pretty good
It's alright
Tracks I've heard before: Brown Sugar Top 3: Bitch Dead Flowers Moonlight Mile Bottom 3: Can't You Hear Me Knocking You Gotta Move I Got The Blues
like any other classic rock album - nothing special - didn't enjoy
I'm not really a Rolling Stone's fan but give them their due. This is a solid and obviously iconic album of there's. It was a good relisten but it did not change my views on the band in any way. Several standout Stone songs on here like Brown Sugar and Can't You Hear Me Knocking along with some deeper stuff like Sister Morphine. This is probably the Stone's at their best.
Is this the best rock band of the 60's? Am I missing some important context or concept? Cuz I was not impressed
just another classic rock album. REALLY nothing special. I want to give it a 3/5 because it was pretty boring overall! I also dont like the cover tbh.
It sure is the Rolling Stones innit
Once again a Stones record largely passes me by. Apart from Brown Sugar, which musically is great but lyrically is not, nothing sticks. Which is ironic, really. Fine, but... meh.
mhh first four songs absolutely incredible. then it just kind of loses momentum for me with a couple of exceptions.
Хорошее звучание , но текста очень слабые , недостаточно обстрактные для психодела , но не очень свящанные и мелодичные для классического рока
Can't decide between 3 or 4 stars.
3.5
Pretty bluesy, rockin' stuff. Overall a good album which I'd listen to again, one of the better Rolling Stones records so far. Wild Horses is the standout for me. A high 3.
Favorite Songs: Brown Sugar, I Got The Blues, Moonlight Mile Least Favorite Song: You Gotta Move First ever Rolling Stones listening experience! Very solid record, but I wasn't really a fan of the country sounding songs.
Meh, expected more from the legends.
Obviusly I knew Brown Sugar. I probably didn't expect the rest of the album to be quite as varied. Lots of Neil Young/Dylan kind of vibes in there, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. As an album, I'm not entirely sure that it holds together quite as well as I might like it to. It's a bit all over the place at times. Not terrible at all, but not something I'm likely to spend that much time with in the future.
