Yet another Rolling Stones album from the generator. Probably my favourite from them so far but I still don't Get them. Maybe one day at 40 I will wake up as a Rolling Stones fan, who knows. But for now I still don't get them 3/5
Remember wild horses back from 2018/19. A friend must've shown me. Rest is okay
Not a fan of the Rolling stones at all. Can't stand Jagger's voice. But there were a few decent songs on this
A significant step up from the other 2 Stones albums we have done but also still not worthy of the hype imo.
It was great. No beatles but solid
Didn’t like this as much as Let It Bleed, but still enjoyable! Wild horses and brown sugar are the highlights, great blues rock all around. 3.5 rounded down
This was solid. Wild Horses only one I really love though. Moonlight Mile’s my favorite of ones I’d never heard. More 3.5 than 3
Cool!
I’m not a big Rolling Stones fan but this album was enjoyable enough. The production was good and some interesting elements I wasn’t expecting like the horns on several tracks. I get the appeal but it’s not my thing.
Hmm. I thought that "Brown Sugar" might be another one of those cases where people freaked out over music in the 70's and then it's just because the musicians have eyeliner on but that's really something. Mostly I spent this album hoping "Honky Tonk Women" would come on and I listened to it twice afterward, although I also really like "Wild Horses". I did really enjoy the, I think, Rolling Stone or Vanity Fair article I found about the creation of this artwork and how the original covers had real zippers on them!
Bit bluesy for me
This might be my favorite of the Stones albums we've had so far, but it's still a high three rather than a four. It seems to me the Stones aren't really an album band; there's always one or two great songs on each album, but also quite a lot of less outstanding work. Best consumed as a greatest hits package.
A classic rock album by The Stones with some favourite tunes.
Exile in Main Street yesterday, sticky fingers today. What is it with the stones and songs about "brown sugar"? Exile had "sweet black angel" too. Bunch of old weirdos. Still the music is pretty decent. Idk. The stones are fine. Definitely influential but also pretty dated. And not just because of Jagger's wrinkles. Anyway. Brown Sugar is a song everyone knows. Can't you Hear me Knocking is 7 minutes of fire.
Started of really strong with Brown Sugar and Sway (particularly the guitar at the end of the track), but then it kind of fell off for the next bit. I Got The Blues, Dead Flowers(!), and Moonlight Mile were my other favourites, but the other songs were very forgettable. For this album I really liked exactly half of the songs and didn't rock with the other half as much, and for that reason I am going with a middle of the road 3
I never really got into the Stones, except for a few songs, and none of those are on this album...
6.5 Solid album. A couple of weak tracks weigh it down. Highlights: Wild Horses Sister Morphine Moonlight Mile Brown Sugar B
Classic stones , yet a bit monotonous
at least two crushing lows that somehow punch their way to the top of the highly contested Most Racist Rolling Stones Moment (i gotta move somehow being their most insulting half-assed Black Musician Pastiche, and brown sugar being skipped by me after about 20 seconds because ive already spend too much of my life listening to that all-time-terrible shit), but i always find something to complain about even on rolling stones songs that are far less morally objectionable. for a certified stones hater like me, this definitely doesnt have the worst hit rate, in fact, the songs i love outnumber the songs i hate by one. bitch is an all-timer fun and bouncy stones rocker that assures me that im not Always too prudish for this band, moonlight mile is a surprisingly azzycore bombastic closer, and sister morphine is a pitch-dark vivid and powerful track that almost sounds like the velvet underground, featuring probably the only mick jagger vocal i unambiguously love. and while i dont dislike the first half of cant you hear me knocking, the second half's lengthy instrumental break is the clear star of the show, maybe even the whole album...maybe second only to merry clayton's solo spot on gimmie shelter as my favorite rolling stones moment. i suppose the records weakness and strength is that i feel most inclined to talk about it as a collection of songs and not an Album...im not sure it ever fully coalesces into anything more than the sum of its parts. but its parts are varied and surprising...all the way up thru the end, ur always capable of being hit by an actually creative idea. not my fave stones record (like that means anything coming from me anyway lol) but i can mostly see the appeal for ppl who dont want to strangle mick jagger whenever they hear him. and who dont know the lyrics to brown sugar ig.
Should revisit
I would put this on on a sunny afternoon as background music. The quicker-tempo songs are fun to bop along to. I liked the horns on birch and can’t you hear me knocking. The lyrics didn’t really stick out to me, but at the same time I thought it was maybe a good album to sing along to…
Didn’t quite finish this, but there are definitely better songs than I thought.
for me, the rolling stones is the "best" (most critically-acclaimed) band, that still falls firmly into the "mid" category for me. So mid. 6/10
Relisten for me, as I know this album well. Widely considered the pinnacle achievement by the world's greatest rock and roll band, "Sticky Fingers" has a reputation that sort of precedes it, almost as if its universal acclaim goes without saying. But while it is obviously a classic, I would rank it at the bottom of the "perfect Golden Age Stones albums" pile behind the likes of "Exile on Main Street", "Let it Bleed" and "Beggars Banquet." I guess I'm in the minority of hipsters who believe that the band really lost something after the death of Brian Jones, and that this album feels like it's missing a lot of ornate instrumentation and psychedelic ideas that made their late 60s albums so legendary for me. It's still good, and the engine that makes the band the untouchable powerhouse of chemistry that it is is still very much here in the form of Jagger and Richards' songwriting and the Mick Taylor lineup's raunchy, bluesy chemistry. But a lot of the songs here just feel like overblown filler compared to their best work, including "Sway", "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" (listening to the Kinks' "Australia" from Arthur really ruined this song and its jazzy jam coda for me), "Bitch" and "Sister Morphine". I even think "I Got the Blues" is a little bare, and feels like it's missing some of that 60s special sauce in the production and instrumentation. This all being said, there are enough bangers here to make this a great experience: "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" are just vintage Stones at their best, up there with anything they did in the 60s, and "Dead Flowers" and "Moonlight Mile" are an incredible closing couplet. "You Gotta Move" is also the band at their most authentic, blues-loving selves. But the Stones, while being incredibly innovative in their own right, could also be trend-chasers, and from the Warhol artwork to the bloated, rockist textures that upstage the songwriting, they feel like they're starting to chase their own trend here. Hey, just my opinion. 3/5
It's alright, but I forgot it was on
definitely dad rock. still good though.
slow start, "can't you hear me knocking" gives a little bob d ylan vibes with sick electric guitar and saxophone, "bitch" is also a groovy song, overall not super impressed
It was okay - not my cup of tea but I see why people enjoy it
Grooooovy guitar solos. Can't you hear me knocking is fantastic. Still a bit harder than I am used to and the lyrics aren't that memorable/emphasized. Hard 70s rock man.
Not exactly bad, sometimes really good, and usually its decent but I honestly can't understand The Stones' extreme hype. People seriously think they're better than The Beatles? In what world? It's just some blues music. The guitar work on this on is particularly good
meh
I don’t really get the Stones. This was alright but nothing overly special and that’s always how I feel if I listen to them. Just doesn’t click with me
I can’t exactly explain why - I don’t have a major reason why - I have always had a major aversion to this band. So I approached this thinking it would be a 1 or 2 out of hand. In the end it did not knock my socks off but it didn’t offend either. Still sort of meh. Maybe in the future I’ll come back and find it better. 3/5
1971 Despite being a Stones fan, I've somehow missed hearing this album in full before now. There's some familiarity with a few tracks, that remain classics, and there's also hints of what they were to become, which is less to my liking. The 'authentic' Americana blues and country elements leave me unenthused to make a return. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ Average ★★★☆☆ (5/10)
Ok, classic rock
Está agradable pero no es mi estilo de rockcito… idk muy de su época
Oni su trčali da bi Ocean Colour Scene mogao hodati. Znam da je to obrnuto od prave izreke ali je tako. A OCS za mene trči. Tako da imam na mnogo čemu biti zahvalna Stonesima. I da, najbolje pjesme na ovom albumu baš vuku na OCS, a najgore jedva mogu slušati. Dakle, zlatna sredina sveukupno.
I probably like the recording of “You Gotta Move” more than either “Brown Sugar” or “Wild Horses.” But that may say more about my fondness for that traditional spiritual than anything else. The Stones aren’t really my jam; among other things, I just don’t find Mick’s vocals all that appealing or interesting. But I have to respect an album with these three songs. I wish I could give this 3.5 stars.
Big name, generic sound.
No strong feelings about this album. Wild Horses is one of my favorites, though.
Difficult to really know/hear the importance or significance of this album. We all hear about the Rolling Stones as this legendary band, but difficult to hear it here. Music is decent, but really feels like context is missing.
I've odviously heard them before, but never listened to a whole album. I liked the sound, very upbeat, and fun to listen to. I didn't pay much attention to the lyrics, but they didn't relate to me too much. 6/10
That last song was amazing. The rest is fine, but not a bad folk rock entry
I only now noticed how much the guitar part in Brown Sugar before the vocal kicks in resembles Gimme shelter. On brand for the best recyclers of American blues since Led Zeppelin.
Meh: some good songs, some filler, probably made them a lot of money
Nothing special to me
It was okay. It followed the same pattern of most other Stones albums where the hits are at beginning of the album, a tribute to the Blues in the middle, and a long jam type song somewhere in the track list. The band did not really do anything special here.
Listened to it once but the remastered version. Nothing particularly stuck with me but I’ll give it a second listen as it does seem up my alley It’s pretty good driving music that I can give it . Wild horses is the only one that stood out to me on my relisten tho
wild horses tem uma letra mt boa e uma melodia muito agradável. Senti que eles quase conseguiram fazer um rock//Jazz perfeito, mas os riffs ficam meio repetitivos no meio das músicas. Era só o que faltava pra fechar com chave de ouro.
A fine album, but not one I would listen to repeatedly.
I don’t get The Rolling Stones. The album is okay and there are some fun songs (Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Bitch) but overall, this did not do much for me.
This weirdly is much better through headphones. One thing I am finding from this generator is that I am a singles girl when it comes to the lStones . Wild Horses is fantastic and the rest just can’t compare. And I’m not a huge fan ofJagger’s voice. 3.5
Interesting bluesy album. The album had up and downs
Willlldddddd horses. 3.6
Two great tunes on this (the two hits). The rest has some great riffs, but fails to excite overall.
Enjoyed this album thoroughly, though it's not my favorite from the Stones. Hoping more Stones albums are in this list. "Moonlight Mile" was a strong stand-out for me, love the structure and build in that song.
It just never clicked with me.
No habia escuchado mucho a los rolling pero oye no estan mal
Rock and country vibes. The musical talent is good but some solos were a little long.
This is one of the Stones' most iconic and best albums. Despite having listened to the band's entire discography, I am not well-versed in its history. And listening to the music, it doesn't inspire many thoughts for the write extensively about. As fas as early-70's rock goes, it's definitely above average. Key tracks: Brown Sugar Sway Wild Horses
Good
Ticks all the usual Stones' boxes: - Hasn't aged well lyrically - Has a few bangers - Has lots of filler 3.0/5.0: Good
I don’t care for this, but the enduring touring machine has really set the mould for how rock and roll became an old man’s game.
It's okay, there's a few good ones on here but tbh doesn't grab me
Middle of the pack not bad wasnt the best one.
‘moonlight mile’ is such a great note to end on it almost tricks me into thinking this album was better than it actually was…it’s not a bad record by any means but it’s not the staggering work of rock genius that people claim it is (i think). honestly it’s possible that i think that mick jagger is a boring tryhard no matter what he does. once you grok that he and bowie and all those other englishmen were still so desperate to copy lou reed like five years too late it just becomes unbearably cringe to witness that effort. i always think of that video of kyle mooney dressed as macklemore…not unless yer gay, man…. fav tracks: moonlight mile; wild horses; sister morphine (but i prefer the marianne faithfull version)
not as unenjoyable as i expected based on my past experiences with RS albums. I still think some of these songs are a bit drawn out; I think one or two songs per album with a long instrumental section adds drama, but too many makes it feel bloated. but the music itself was very pretty and i did enjoy it. Fav tracks: Can't You Hear Me Knocking, I Got The Blues
Y’all know what it is. Famous album, some legendary tracks, a few misses too though
Dated Rock album with nice slide guitar parts and memorable tunes. Good as background music at the local bar
This is my second rolling stones album I slightly prefer let it bleed. Still this is very good really enjoyed every track except one
ok
alright to be fair
You can’t always get what you want. For example, I thought this was the album with that song and I didn’t get it.
Classic
Enjoyable. Some lovely standouts, but some that passed me by.
It was fine. Idk, it was better than I was expecting but it’s not really my taste.
Y que se yo, es un disco de los rolling y no conozco ningún tema... mmmmm Nota: 2.8
Liked Dead Flowers. Wild Horses is of course lovely. Overall not really rocking my world.
Wild Horses is one of the best rock songs ever recorded. A truly beautiful track. It's a shame the rest of this album pales in comparison to that tune. The rest of the album, I can take it or leave it. Nothing else was particularly remarkable. "Bitch" and "Dead Flowers" were decent, but probably forgettable. Less sex appeal/hard rock like the album cover might suggest. Instead, this feels more gentle, introspective, and melancholy. It definitely works with Wild Horses. I understand the appeal of the rolling stones. I like them, just not as much as your average Dad.
3.7
this has one of my favourite rolling stones songs on it; sway. i enjoy listening to this album
Av någon märklig anledning har jag aldrig riktigt fastnat för sticky fingers.
Decent sounds but not my cup of tea. Good instrumentals with ok vocal work. Not quite what I expected, having been so limited to any exposure to The Rolling Stones.
Some really really lovely ones truncated with noise I just don’t care much for.
I'm not a huge fan of Mick Jagger's vocals.
The trouble with putting one of the greatest rock songs ever as the opening track is that the rest of the album struggles to live up
Another good Stones album. sitting somewhere between 3 and 4.
3 stars I haven’t found a Stones album that lacks filler. But this is one of the better, more consistent ones. The country western impression gets tiring, but more works than not.
I liked this album. Very memorable riffs and songs. This band is one of the ones that you will not be able to escape if you are interested in rock/pop from the 60s/70s. I don't think that's a bad thing, but a lot of this music has power because it's fused with memories of other things. A song from a movie I love, the romanticism of drugs, the strong "sampling" of African American culture. While I'm not sure if the subject matter holds up some 50 years later, it's definitely a good group of tracks from one of the legends of rock and roll. 3.5/5
come back to with better headphones
3.5 Stars
joa bo mog rolling stones irgendwie net so ober wor jo net so schlecht: des two horses oder wild horses oder so wor sogor gonz cool
It's a Rolling Stones album. The one with "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses."
Pretty nice. High 3/5
Da sind mer die Stei chli schnell ah mir verbiigrollt. Leider biz zwenig ufmerksamkeit chöne geh, schlussendli sind mer aber au ned viel lieder i mine finger chläbbe blibbe. 3 flügendi Tigerauge
holprige start gsi das nahzlose am mentig morge nachm Nachtzug. Und de na mit biz erwartige zu rolling stones. white horses schöner track hed mi wieder biz uf d spur oder in Trab bracht. Für vill meh als es 3 langeds denne mitlerwile alter knackers doch nöd. Aber restepcte dass si mit gfühlt 92i na bühneperformance enbriinged
3.5, some great songs but definitely could skip some songs on my next listen
Outside of the singles just okay I thought.
some RS classics but not my favourite of theirs. overall a solid album though
A solid ok
Like, men ikke love
Lots of hits.
I'm glad the rolling stones remembered they could play good music! Unfortunately this falls right in line with a lot of other samey-sounding okay rock (or adjacent) albums.
This is certainly a better album than Beggar's Banquet. The sound palette the Stones went for here is imo much better with Mick Jagger's voice, and a few standout songs like Wild Horses really hit well. That being said, his voice really isn't for everyone.
This is like your middling Rolling Stones album imo. They dont do anything terrible, but they dont do anything cool either. The interesting instrumentation from other albums is gone etc. The last few songs are very good.
didn't listen thoroughly but some good catchy songs that got my attention
The most surprising part to me when listening to this is that it made me see why people love The Stones, something about the way this album sounds and how the songs are carried just dispelled a lot of what I thought these guys were (and are, really), like I usually imagined and thought of them as being similar to Aerosmith in terms of obnoxiousness but this album is anything but. Brown Sugar, Can't Hear Me Knocking, Sister Morphine, all of them click with me in a way that I didn't expect, like hey maybe they are a more introspective and interesting band than I thought before and that's... interesting to me really. We'll see how I feel on consequent listens but this one is pretty good!
Pretty solid album.
The sleazy blues-rock sound is not my bag, but it's hard to deny the draw of these iconic rockers. While Mick's swagger is fun, the real star for me was Keith Richards's guitar solos. Standout track: Sister Morphine
I dunno, the stones are such a tricky band to categorize, cause when they’re great, it’s amazing, and when they’re not.. it’s just.. meh.. and this album had a few greats and a solid amount of meh.
De nuevo me vuelve a pasar lo mismo con un álbum de los Rolling Stones. Musicalmente impecable: rock ecléctico que mezcla blues, soul y country con muy buen gusto, con una instrumentación estupenda, llena de vientos, una percusión muy variada e interesante (que a veces hasta recuerda a la samba) y hasta cuerdas en la balada "Moonlight Mile". Realmente no se puede decir nada malo de este álbum. Es divertido, variado y técnicamente excelente. Pero por algún motivo me acaba aburriendo, y no sé decir muy bien por qué. Es como si todas las canciones se acabaran amalgamando sin que haya un gancho que me atrape. En fin, es difícil de explicar con palabras. Muy buen álbum, pero lo tengo que dejar en tres.
3.5
I never really listened to the Rolling Stones. I can put myself in the time and see why it was so popular and liked. While I consider myself a fan of rock, I can't say this really sparked anything in me, I think the album is solid but to me it just sounds like 70s rock. Perhaps I'm not listening with the kind of ear this album deserves.
Meh :( I really loved the more rocky songs like Brown Sugar and Bitch, but as for the slower ones... it was a struggle to get through them which was surprising to me because of how many people love this album. I think my main issue is that I don't like the singer's voice at all
Good album, but the Stones have better
Repeat listen
Kind of a slower album; I think I prefer their more rockin'/lively music. I do love Wild Horses, though, and Can't You Hear Me Knocking.
Nem izgi, van nagyon hosszú változat, vezetni jó
Good background music. No songs that really stuck out as having that Rolling Stones quality.
Enough has been said about this album. RIP Val Kilmer.
You Gotta Move is Adam Sandler-core. How tf are these guys British? Mick Jagger has to be purposely singing like someone from Alabama which i find a bit funny to be honest
A side is so killer and B side is fine. Wild Horses is their best song I think. 3.5
Solid album, but I don't know what's wrong with me that I can't get into it. Greatest album of all time? Seems like a character ac. Like, I can't tell if Dead Flowers is a piss-take, they're high on their ability to plumb americana, or both. Not bad, just weird. The Stones energy is there across the album, even in the slower stuff, but I don't know if that's enough to make me go Wow! Unkind 3.
Quite bluesy, not the best album of the stones
Never been a fan of The Rolling Stones. Paint It Black and Wild Horses are just about the only songs of theirs I can stand. There's no denying this is a classic album, but it's really not for me. 3 stars.
This is unfair to this album to be honest. I was looking forward to the new Jane Remover record and that was in my mind alot of this listen. It's still good though. Honestly better than the last album I had by them. The one with the building on the cover. Yeeee that might not go over well to the aged sorry. It's got a few bangers. But why is can't you hear me knocking like a 6373 minute song? It just falls off the rails and turns into a jam, which is fine but I don't want to hear that jam everything I press play on that one. Solid rockers that feel less bluesy than the last record.
Classic Stones album with a few songs that I really enjoy.
Love Wild Horses so, so much. The rest was kinda.... just alright.
- entspannt und moody, wenn auch mal wieder nichts für mich herausgestochen hat - insgesamt aber eine tolle Platte
I really don’t understand how people like this
Zwei Riesensongs als Eröffnung, dann viel Rolling Stones. Manches besser anderes ok.
Good
This was decent, miles better than their debut Standout tracks are Wild Horses and Can't You Hear Me Knocking
It's the Stones. They're good. This just ain't exactly my favorite album of theirs.
I mean it was alright, after listening to beggars banquet I was expecting to enjoy this a lot more than I actually did, it was just pretty standard bluesy rock with some random country thrown in which they seem to like doing for some reason. Brown sugar was good musically but the lyrics were just weird, wild horses was good, can’t you hear me knocking was a really good long song which had jazz in it which was cool, sister morphine was another highlight both instrumentally and lyrically. Rest of the songs were pretty mid to be honest, other than sway which I re listened to after, it’s also good which boosts my rating a bit. Overall 6/10.
Solid not much I would return too
Bluesy, moody, classic rock
Classic Rock. Not my style
I love the track 'Wild Horses'. I like the raw energy in Mick Jagger's voice, sometimes ugly but usually emotional. Keith Richards' guitar tone is awesome. The cover of this album is gross.
SWAY
70er Rock der Stones. Immer noch gut hörbar. 3/5
Good Album, nice riffs and some tunes I wouldn't have expected from the stones
7/10 I like the stones. Love them even. But this album was more top hits but less cohesion. Still a hood record but probs middle of the road for me among the stoned records. Favorite song: Brown Sugar
die sentimentale songs send no nice. die andere töne för mech alli chli ähnlich so voll nach 70er 80er club mässig oder wenn au immer ka. aber das esch wahrschinlich eifach s neue genre lose phänomen. bem 2te mol lose eschs schochli besser gsi. wild horses esch sehr schön imo und tönt recht andersch als die andere
Original notes got deleted. Clearly an important album which spoke to young people a few generations ago. Can't really get behind the Stones hype myself though am trying to acclimate myself to their sound a bit more. This album is defintely more pallateable to my ears than much of their other work. Feels a lot more sonically consistent and has a lot of great instrumental moments, especially when they just let the band do their thing and create an infectious jam. I can't say everything on here has aged well, especially lyrically. A few of the tracks drag a bit, and some of the vocal performances are a bit strange, especially those where he puts on an accent or a particular inflection. The pure rock tracks here have many moments of greatness, while the country inspired tracks don't really feel like they go anywhere interesting. Will not call myself a Stones fan, but had a decent time with this one. Can't deny it deserves to be on here. 3.5/5 Leaning more towards a 3. Fave track. Can't You Hear Me Knocking Least Fave track. You Gotta Move
wow it’s the rolling stones
This is probably one of their better albums. It's got a few really good songs a lot of filler.
Actually a quite good Stones album. The lyrics are sometimes at least cringy and often nothing anybody would write today. The music with Taylor as the new lead guitar shows that the band is at the start of getting much better, resulting in the signature Stones sound that one recognizes even without Jagger's voice.
A classic... but ... Jag har ju aldrig gått igång på Stones, förutom enstaka låtar. Alltså de kan vara brillianta, men det är inte tillräckligt ofta – ett typiskt greatest hits band. Detta är inte en greatest hits-platta! Trea (med lite plus)
I keep expecting to like The Rolling Stones more than I do. Everything in their sound is stuff I like. I even watched a cover band in the park once and had an amazing time. But somehow everything outside of the big hits kind of misses, for me.
I think there was some good stuff on this album but I just didn’t really notice. All I could pay attention to was the massive bulge on the album cover. It was very distracting.
it’s ok, most of it just doesn’t click with me. although , can’t you hear me knocking is super. 3
Solid classic rock. 7/10
Some classics, and probably exciting in its day, but kind of wallpaper for me. Wouldn’t specifically choose to listen again.
It was ok. Maybe I'm just not a Rolling Stones fan.
I like the music, but find MJ's exaggerated American accent grating. Wild Horses is the highlight track.
explode mick jagger
kind of a sad album, lots of rough topics. good music overall, but not my favorite of their albums
I've never been the biggest Stones fan, but "Wild Horses" might be one of my favorite songs from their discography. This album feels raw, polished and tight. There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said about them for decades. Being familiar with their songs, but not necessarily each album, it's hard to place where this one will compare against their others on the list - so I look forward to hearing more. We listen to this one a lot in our household.
I will admit I’ve never been the biggest fan of the Stones, even though I have a few of their songs liked. This album did show some of their variety with slower songs like Wild Horses and the jazz solo part in Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, which I did enjoy. Jaggers rough raspy voice is fitting for the band but never especially stood out to me either.
Enjoyable. Could probably use a relisten.
It was fine. Some nice bluesy stuff. Lots of typical stones stuff
This is a bit better than the last one I listened to (Exile On Main Street), but it’s still middle of the road for me. I surprisingly knew a few tracks from this album. Doesn’t make me want to try more of their discography. I’ll just wait until I get another one from the generator.
Never was a huge fan of the Stones. This okay and I really like I Got the Blues
Very solid album, with wild horses and brown sugar. Sister morphine is a great tune!
Solid rock album
Good old rock and roll - Good instrumentals like guitar, drums, and saxophone
It was alright, not exactly my cup of tea. Brown Sugar is my favourite from the album. Towards the end of the album I got kinda bored...
Overall solid and enjoyable. Quality Rolling Stones at their best. Now Brown Sugar....its not okay, not right. Yes they stopped playing it, but Richards said, I don't get why they are mad its about slavery and hopefully we will get to play it again someday. So maybe it is and maybe we can bend that he is "trying" to make a political statement, but he never says that and never tries to explain the point they were trying to make. He just wants to play it again because its fun and that is the problem. Yes when this song was written it was a different time, and maybe it was more acceptable, but its not now. Say that, own up to the it, and say for that reason we choose to remove it from our sets, period...the end. I wanna give it a 4, but the response to Brown Sugar makes me take a star away.
The Rolling Stones always leave me feeling unsatisfied. Their bluesy, whiskey soaked music feels like the morning after a night of binge drinking. That’s cool in your teens and twenties, but the older a person gets, the longer the headache lasts. This album has some great songs like Brown Sugar, Can’t You Hear Me Knocking, Bitch, and Sister Morphine, and yet still I feel like I’m missing some fuller overall experience.
Наверное круто
Very good album
Second album proposé après un "Exile On Main Street" trop long et plein de remplissage. Ce second album est plus court, et contient au moins un hit que je connaissais (Brown Sugar). J'ai beaucoup apprécié "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" et ses très sympa chorus de sax et guitare. Par contre on a toujours du remplissage, je n'ai pas vraiment apprécié les morceaux plus lents ou très blues (comme "You Gotta Move" ou "I Got the Blues"). Il ne rejoindra donc pas ma collection, mais je pourrais le ré-écouter. =>3/5
Probably my least unfavorite Stones album. This was actually nice all the way through.
3 estrelas exclusivamente por wild horses. essa música é bonita d+ não tem base
Other than Wild Horses, none of the songs really grabbed me. Might revisit.
I will never understand why the Stones are so often mentioned in the same sentence as the Beatles. I mean there aren't any objectively *bad* songs on this album. They are all good! And a couple are great. But (to me) there is no real magic here. Just a lot of pleasant rock n roll.
Big hits and dirty south jam sessions all in one album. Honestly I never listened to the album so hits are great but the album falls short 54 years later
One of my all time favorite songs is on this album. Wild Horses. The Stones are great. Bit of blues stealing going on, but nothing to admonish for.
ihan hieveen tylsää musaa. Rollareita.
Hmm...The Rolling Stones. Was sölli säge, ich mag halt the Mick Jagger nöd. Erstundlich bluesigs Album mit villsiitiger Instrumäntalisierig. Vergliche mit The Doors oder Janis Joplin isch s Album eigentli rächt brav. Brown Suger känntmer ja, aber s beschte Stuck für mich isch eidüütig Sister Morphine. Da händ sich Dire Straits glaub ächli inspiriere lah. Fazit: Bin positiv überrascht.
Very standard classic rock, some great hits. Ultimately not very interesting or exciting.
Only knew Brown Sugar and Wild Horses, but enjoyed the other songs. Nothing stood out from those two songs other than I got the blues. Enjoyed the use of sax throughout the album. Probably put it on again, but just for those few songs.
I’d probably give this 3.5 stars if I could—3 might be a bit harsh, but some tracks didn’t quite stand out to me. I can appreciate that this album was likely groundbreaking at the time, but listening to it 50 years later, it doesn’t feel as revolutionary. That said, I really enjoy the rawness compared to modern recordings. You can hear little imperfections—like a voice cracking or a guitar hitting a slightly off note—things that would be completely polished out in today’s production. That being said, a few tracks really stood out to me: - Can’t You Hear Me Knocking - Moonlight Mile - Wild Horses
Stones, yeah, they rarely click with me. Never for a full album. Some good ones here, but enough has been said about the dubious lyrics to Brown Sugar. May be one of their best, but for me they remain a singles band and rather a cultural phenomenon than a musical.
I can hear it's impact and quality; it's just not music for me. Still good though.
Me gustó pero siento que es muy country y algunas canciones me hacen sentir en el sur 6/10
I mean it’s alright like overrated af in my opinion. Jajajajdb la verdad no me gusto tanto Canción favorita: Brown Sugar Calificación: 6.5
Oh man, good album. Wild Horses is a classic, along with Brown Sugar and Can't You Hear Me Knocking. Realized I don't listen to as much Rolling Stones as I thought, so some songs were a pleasant surprise to me, like Dead Flowers. But some songs, while definitely not bad, kinda blended together for me, just didn't stand out nearly as much as some of their counterparts on the album. Definitely good, can't say I dislike any of the songs, but a couple might get skipped depending on the mood, you know?
Dad rock
3.5 solid rock album. Favorite songs song: can’t you hear me knocking and moonlight mile
This one was a rough listen for me. It was either pretty ok and somewhat uninteresting, or in the case of "Brown Sugar," extremely uncomforting. Overall, as far as studio albums go, this was not a good start to the Stones catalog. Probably a 6
Classic rock baby. I’ve heard all these songs a million times before. I wonder where they got this style from?
I liked this more than I thought. It's a 3. Basically I like all the slower laid back tracks. Brown Sugar and it's ilk I find really basic. Probably not their fault it sounds so generic as I guess they pioneered the default rock sound. Still a 3. Happy to listen through but won't put it on rotation.
Classic Rock of the type I don’t typically love, but there were some surprises here and it’s a decent album. The little bits of sax in “Brown Sugar” are nice and the lengthy guitar solos throughout are appreciated. Mick Jagger is seriously a bad singer and is absolutely brutal on “Dead Flowers”. Standout track is “Wild Horses”.
A couple good songs, but mostly forgettable stuff. Very sleazy sound.
Not a fan of The Rolling Stones so I didn't bother listening to this.
Can't go wrong with the classics
It was fine, made me tap my foot a few times.
...
My review dissapeared, I am sad :(. so i am not going to type anything anymore, i wrote a lot :( 3/5, 2 jojo referances btw
Not a Stones fan. Only song I knew was Brown Sugar which has some troubling lyrics ("Hear him whip the women, just around midnight" is this a song about Phil Spector? Sean Combs was only 2 when this came out so it probably isn't about him). The rest is alright but nothing more. So won't be revisiting this.
I've always had trouble understanding why the Rolling Stones have such a legendary status. Except for a few of their big hits, they sound completely mediocre to me. Wild Horses and Dead Flowers are great songs. The rest just sounds like filler. I've never listened too closely to the lyrics of Brown Sugar before, but now that I did holy shit...
It started out with some promising songs, but then corrected to the Rolling Stone Mean.
Yeah I dig.
6/10 - Rolling Stones kinda boring. I really did not like you gotta move. I’ve heard wild horses before and it’s fine. Moonlight mile was probably my favorite song even thought it started pretty slow.
Absolutely mid
it took me a bit to get over the lyrics of Brown Sugar, definitely a little on the problematic side. Yesterday I also learned that Wild Horses is a Rolling Stones song, I thought it was CSNY for some reason. I enjoyed Dead Flowers a lot, definitely felt the influence it had over Social Distortions work. Overall, I enjoyed it, but felt that there were too many solos that insisted upon themselves.
I've never gave The Rolling Stones a full album listen before, and I gotta say, I enjoyed this! I loved the guitar work. I 100% see their appeal and why they're given their acclaim. Some of the songs were meh, for example, You Gotta Move and honestly the rest of the album after that point. The album started off with great energy and after this point, it dies down. I can understand a song or two and spreading out the high energy songs, but it was just one after the other after the other and really brought down my overall appeal of the album. Overall though, better than I thought it was going to be
a good album, it's the Stones.
Preferred first half over second half
Très bon album ! Je n'ai pas beaucoup écouté les Stones, et ça me fait plaisir d'avoir pu écouter et apprécier un de leurs album. Wild Horses, Moonlight Mile, c'est vraiment pas mal.
This really was a quite good album.
Didn't enjoy this as much as some of their other albums, but it was still decent.
I liked Brown Sugar but the next few songs bored me and I stopped listening. I had planned on coming back and finishing it but the songs I did hear just weren’t good enough to give me the motivation to finish it. Would be a 2 but +1 for Brown Sugar and benefit of the doubt.
another Rolling Stones record and another meh review, it's not great but it's not awful, nothing to get excited about
Definitely not their best, not bad tho.
I found some of this album to be charming, and then felt a bit indifferent towards it at times. I really liked Sister Morphine.
Bardzo amerykański album jak na londyński zespół. W sumie to ciekawe, że to Brytyjczycy stworzyli wizerunek rockmana, który obecnie głównie kojarzy się z kulturą amerykańską. Ale ten album jest bardzo mocno bluesowy, także tematycznie czerpie z tej kultury (np. Brown Sugar) i z amerykańskiej fascynacji motywem drogi (np. Moonlight Mile). Nawet okładka (jeansy i skórzany pasek - zaprojektowana przez Andy'ego Warhola) mocno akcentuje amerykańskie motywy (ale też jednocześnie je tworzy). Chłopaki bardzo mocno eksponują swój wizerunek bad boyów, mnóstwo piosenek nawiązuje do narkotyków i burzliwych relacji. Cały album jest bardzo "brudny" - zarówno w dźwięku instrumentów, jak i w wokalu oraz tekstach. Z drugiej strony czuć w nim pewnego rodzaju ciężar, to nie jest beztroski rock&roll. Instrumental z "Can't You Hear Me Knocking" bardzo spoko. "Sister Morphine" zapadło mi w pamięć. Mimo to raczej nie będę tęsknił za tym albumem, także spokojne, równe 3.
This is my first time listening to a Rolling Stones album. They're a lot more "Rock 'n' Roll" than the Beatles are, despite being part of that same "British Invasion" time period. A lot of the sound on this albums feels played out and same-old, although it is good. It's not their fault that they influenced so many bands, but it does make it hard for me to show up to their album 'fresh'. "Bitch" is the first song I really like. I love the horns. The album started a lot more rock focused but turned into too many slow and a little boring songs. This didn't really do it for me. 6/10
As i have stated before, the stones are great, but not COMPLETELY for me. This is significantly better than the other album i listened to and stays in a really groovy atmosphere that is best listened to by a certain genre of dad - just not mine ! 1. wild horses 2. i got the blues 3. dead flowers
Yeah, it's mid. There's not really much to say about this that hasn't been said.
I would have loved all of the songs on the deluxe album if I was 17 again
Crazy how much the opening riff in 'Brown Sugar' just sounds like a chopped up 'Start me up' riff, almost feels similar close to me. Overall I think this was a decent record with some songs that were better, and some songs that were not as good perhaps. I don't feel like I'm swaying in any direction, it's pretty much dead in the middle for me. Pretty much "meats and potatoes" rock I would say. 'Wild Horses' was probably my favourite track.
As with previous albums by "The stones" i find their albums kind of lacking. They have some really good songs, on this one "Wild Horses" is a clear 5 star song. But you can always cherry pick a few songs and leave the rest. Most songs are just very standard rhythm and blues rock. I realized I've never really listened to the lyrics of "Brown Sugar" but um yeah that first verse is way, way, worse than I could imagine. Yikes. The riffs is still really good though. Towards the tail-end the ballads were actually quite decent and a nice change of pace. More 3 stars for rolling stones, if only they could merge 2 albums in to one it would warrant a 4 or even 5 star album.
Not bad music but it didn’t do much for me.
The first half of the album (I guess the A side of the LP) is very good; "Can't You Hear Me Knocking?" 🤯 But the second half is much more bland, definitely OK songs, but nothing very interesting.
Fun music but I've never been a fan.
Boring album with one good track. Most songs made with basics music terms of 60s. Albums sounds like it's released in 60s? but not in 1971. 5/10
Before listening to this album, I had never considered myself a Stones fan ... and I still don't. I don't hate any of their music and I don't love any of it. This album has a few nice moments, but the issue is that Mick Jagger has no singing ability at all. It's honestly extremely impressive how successful he has been in spite of that.
Brown Sugar - 4/5 Sway - 3/5 Wild horses - 5/5 Can't You Hear Me Knocking - 4/5 class but slowed down a bit by 4 minute instrumental You Gotta Move - 3/5 Bitch - 2/5 I Got the Blues - 3/5 Sister Morphine - 3/5 Dead Flowers - 2/5 Moonlight Miles - 3/5
3.5
It opens with the poorly aged Brown Sugar. Sigh, we can get our exoticism and creeping on young girls out of the way right off the bat. Sway had good sound but damn, Mick has an awful voice. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. It also doesn’t work in Wild Horses. I have never liked this song. You Got to Move was actually painful to listen to. Can’t Hear Me Knocking was mid but not terrible. I was a little worried when I saw the track name for Bitch, but it was actually fun. I’ve Got the Blues was a pleasant surprise, too. I think this track is really helped by strong instrumentals. Sister Morphine, Dead Flowers were ok. Moonlight Mile finished the album strong. The second half of this album definitely improves. This was much better than the other Stones album I’ve gotten on this list. I’ll give it a 3.
It's the stones, sounds like the stones.
Stony classics.
Brown Sugar is gross, the rest is fine I guess. Would prefer to listen to blues. Not bad, not great.
Not for me
Never really been a big fan of the Stones. Undecided on how to score this. Half the songs are a four but the rest are ones and twos.
Enjoyed. Bluesy
Heard it about three times in the past four year— still mostly rubbish in my opinion. 1001Albums should've included "Between The Buttons" instead (I I know it sounds like an attempt to emulate The Kinks, but it actually demonstrates how poor The Stones were in their own genre.)
Listened Before? N Another classic rock... well... classic. This one was very good from beginning to end. Not much else to say. Added to Library: N Songs added to playlist: Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Um Yeah alright blues rock, beatles better
Decent but will not revisit.
Like all Stones albums, this has a couple of really great rockers (Brown Sugar, Dead Flowers) and a nice ballad (Wild Horses), while the rest is horrible blues and country. This one is the best out of the 3 albums I’ve listened to yet, though.
Loved it
It's the Rolling stones what do you expect? Personally not this! I had been told that they started out life as a blues band but this was not really bourn out by their famous tracks, and I had never been inspired enough to listen to a whole album before. I was pleasantly surprised by how bluesy they were and I enjoyed it. But was I inspired enough to say I'd buy it, no I wasn't. Being the Stones I almost feel I have to give it a 4, but does it really deserve one, no it doesn't but it is worth a 3.
The most constistant Stones album so far on this list. So far the only one I enjoyed without wanting to skip tracks. 'Brown Sugar' has always been a song which I enjoy and used to enjoy when my Dad played it too.
Another album where the only available streaming version is an unpopular remaster. All tracks except Brown Sugar are labeled (2009 Mix) so we're listening to a remixed version, different from what put it on this list. Bah!
It's fine. I've never been super into the Rolling Stones. Brown Sugar has aged badly and most of the other songs were not that memorable but it wasn't a bad listen. 6/10
Not the biggest fan 3/5
Some decent songs but didn’t hook me
"Sticky Fingers" by The Rolling Stones delivers great guitar work and sweeping rhythms that capture the band's iconic sound. While musically impressive, with tracks like "Brown Sugar" and "Wild Horses" showcasing their blend of rock and blues, the lyrics often veer into strange territory, which may alienate some listeners. Despite its historical significance in rock music, it’s not entirely my cup of tea, leaving me with a mixed impression. I’d give it a solid 3/5 for the musical elements, though the lyrical content falls short for me.
Kinda just Rolling Stones to me
i cannot believe dead flowers is a stones song. townes did it better
It's got some hits, and for good reason. But they're clearly not an album band. This one works better than most Stones albums, but I do get the distinct feeling of when they wrote a "song" and when they wrote an "album filler." I don't know how to judge projects like this, but the hits are good, so I guess a three?
A well-known Stones album. However, in my opinion it is not particularly successful. It seems kind of irrelevant to me. The story behind the cover is the most interesting thing about it. 3/5
it's the stones, rocks for sure
very interesting topic to start an album off with i rate the choice of making almost 5 minutes of your 7 minute song purely an instrumental found it kinda hard to enjoy some of the slower songs compared to the faster ones though (based on the spotify plays that seems to be a more popular opinion though) - but i enjoyed moonlight mile so maybe it was just the specific songs i didnt enjoy happened to be slow as a jojo's bizarre adventure fan I am disappointed
72% Best: Can't You Hear Me Knocking; Bitch Must-Hear? Slightly overrated imo, so no
Probably there best album. Very enjoyable
Best overall Stones album I’ve gotten so far, yet still confirms my opinion that they are a singles band. Only the hits are good.
Brown Sugar and Can't You Hear Me Knocking are classics. Hadn't heard Wild Horses by them, only a cover (but I didn't realize it was a cover). Really liked the song! Overall a little better than I was anticipating since I'm not a huge Stones fan.
Two Rolling Stones in a row. Nothing on Let It Bleed in my eyes. Wild Horses is an absolute classic though.
Old classic
classic stones, easy listening
started off on a high note with the guitar riff. I love the usage of playing music through one headphone rhen slowly adding a couple notes through the other headphone.
A solid album - worth a listen
A pretty decent record. The Stones can get a bit cheesy for me, but this one has a bit more sincerity that I think gives it more power. I love Drive-by Truckers and I never realized how much they were influenced by the Stones. Sway could straight up be a DBT song. They still lose me on some of the straightforward boring blues rock, but overall I enjoyed it.
some songs are really good like wild horses
Favorite track: Sister Morphine
I liked a few of the songs. The rest were extremely medium
This is an album of 2 parts. The first 5 songs are fantastic. Great variation, and really the Stones at some of their best. But man the second half of this album is snoozy. Shame it couldn't have just been a slightly long EP.
I hate the name of this album but I enjoy it otherwise
Block 15 Sticky Fingers is the best beer
3☆/5 08.07.2024
Not my favorite from the Stones, but still pretty good
This album didn’t wow me but has some great moments for sure. The hits are absolutely the strongest tunes, while the rest don’t do much for me.
Beatles > Stones. I think there is one good song here. It's not fun to listen too for me.
Yet another Rolling Stones. This one's actually pretty good!
not a huge stones fan but ok album i guess
Some great songs to give it a strong 3...but not quite enough overall for me to give it a 4.
This album cover is eye rolls. I’ve recently decided Andy Warhol was a hack. Anyhoo, love the Billy Preston contribution to this. I don’t love the songs with lengthy improvisations, though. And songs like “You Gotta Move” make me scratch my head. It smacks of appropriation today, though that wasn’t on the radar in 1971. I prefer a song like “I Got the Blues” that is certainly very bluesy, but they’ve put a distinctly Stones spin on it. “Dead Flowers” is my fave song on this album. I like them best when the blues influence manifests as honky tonk. 3.8
The Rolling Stones. At this point, you either like them or you don't. Or you like different periods of their career over others. Either way, this is a Stones album you will likely enjoy if you enjoy The Stones.
Cool! Starting to get slight 1001 albums burnout I fear cuz this didn’t wow me but oh well!
I knew a couple songs on here, good album but wouldn’t listen to all regularly
How young black girls taste has not aged well. Indulgent bluesy ramblings.
Pretty good, hits
I'm pretty sure I can recycle what I said for Exile: good blues album from a bunch of white guy.
Okay
Once again, I didn’t dislike any of what I was listening to but it wasn’t the sort of stuff I ACHE to listen to again and again with all my attention. It’s good for the background. Cmon gimme another album like the first one I got!!
The Beatles have broken up and now it’s the stones time to shine. And they stick to their honkeytonk guns. It’s impressive how many British rock bands at this time wanted the American sound. Please check out Susan Boyles version of Wild Horses from this album. She actually made a better song out of it
A little too country-western influenced for my tastes, but its a pretty typical Stones album. It's okay.
3.5 I like the less known songs. Again very varied
meh, didn't really leave a lasting impact
Decent stones album
I’ve always viewed the Stones as predominantly a singles band and I’m afraid Sticky Fingers has done little to challenge that preconception. Brown Sugar is great and I really enjoyed Midnight Mile but there was a lot in the middle that didn’t stand out in two plays through. Can you Hear Me Knocking has good moments but is just too long.
Brown Sugar is great. Can't You Hear Me Knocking has some nice raw guitar. Wild Horses is popular but I don't love it.
This is fine. I can't seem to connect with the Stones the way some people do. I wasn't mad about having to listen to the whole album, but I probably won't come back to this much, if ever. Wild horses is a good song though
Ok, lets go. its ok, three stars of five, I wouldn't listen to it again sincerely.
Some great songs to give it a strong 3...but not quite enough overall for me to give it a 4.
